Chapter 34 - Scarlet Liquid

As he went inside the garden of white roses, he had got a weird feeling, it was as if he was the only one inside this whole world, he felt eerily as the soft breeze hit his handsome face, he shuddered inevitably through his coat, these white roses somehow made him lonely for no apparent reason, this feeling was weird, scary and lonely, that is when like a light ray in the darkness he heard a chuckle.

As he went nearer, and nearer, the chuckle got disappeared, by the time he realized that the chuckle was no more to be heard, he was already in the middle of the white rose garden it was at that time, his heart shuddered as the eerily feeling engulfed his poor heart again.

He suddenly heard that chuckle that soothed his eerily scared heart earlier again, this time the chuckle did not disappear but turned into a peal of beautiful laughter, and that laughter, was like a lullaby, for his scared heart.

He did not waste any time, like the last time, and quickly went in the direction of that laughter only to see a woman's back, but she was wearing a long winter coat in white, her head was covered with the white hood attached with the winter coat, parallel to her, another woman was standing smiling at the woman with a white coat, the winter coat was so big and thick that it covered some space other than the person, it was a furry winter coat, the woman suddenly bent a little as if she was seeing something shorter to her and so did the woman parallel to her both of them looked between them.

He could hear a childish voice coming near the woman but he could not see the child's face, he was sure the person between both the women must be a child as he could hear his voice, it was like a baby boy, who said,

''Elder sister, you look beautiful, will you come tomorrow to this park again'', asked the childish voice,

''Oh thanks, and why did you ask if I will come tomorrow, sweetie?'', asked the woman in her alluring voice

Her voice was like, an amazing song, but it gave him a weird feeling of deja vu, it gave him a familiar, feeling, the voice felt familiar, as well as strangely distant and new, he was so confused about the voice, as to how, and why, like '' How could a voice can be familiar and distantly new at the same time.'', he thought to himself.

He came back to his senses when he heard, heard the little childish voice saying, '' Elder sister, I asked you if you will come tomorrow, because if your coming then I will bring my mom here with me here tomorrow like today so that I can see you'', the little voice said.

Mo cheng did not know if he should laugh or cry, hearing the little boy's words because it was like pursuing, he felt ashamed of himself for not pursuing like this boy did, when he went behind his first love, all he did was propose to her in front of the whole school, and got slapped by her, after that chasing her in secret which was not actually very secretive only to get caught by her, but all this happened in high school, but his love for her started the first time he saw her in a park when he was a child, if ever he had this guts at that time, things would have been different, at least not this bad between them was what he thought.

''Awww, that was so cute, but sorry dear I won't be coming tomorrow'', said that magical voice.

It was as if the little boy's face had turned, sad after hearing that woman's reply, as for how he knew that, it was because he heard the woman saying,

''Aww sweetie you do not have to feel sad, I will give you my Instagram account just text me whenever you want'' said the woman with the magical voice,

The little boy said, ''Thank you sister'', just by hearing that voice, Mo Cheng could say that the boy was really happy.

And suddenly, the realization hit him, as for what it was, he was eavesdropping on someone else conversation, that was able to make him ashamed of himself but he said to himself that he was not eavesdropping and anyone would hear if it was this loud, and that the fact, he heard was unintentional.

''Alright, even if you did not eavesdrop, your listening to a woman's voice and also you are thinking that the voice was attractive'', said his inner self to him, he felt like a jerk, like a cheater, he felt as if he cheated his first love suddenly, he felt grossed up by himself for admiring someone else's voice other than his lady love.

So Mo Cheng, who was slapped by the reality, fastened away from that place saying, nothing but '' No, I was not cheating her, I did not feel that the woman had a magical voice'' in low voice.

''Well, I never said that you think that the woman's voice was magical, I said that you think that the woman's voice is attractive'''

Mo Cheng suddenly stopped on his track hearing what his inner self was saying, it was true what it said, after all, it had never said a word magical, it said attractive but he said magical what it meant is...

''Well it means, you find the woman's voice magical, which means you are attracted to that woman just by hearing her voice; you cheating dog, jerk, womanizer, men will be men, your no exception, so stop acting like you are some honest and truthful god, and loyal lover, who could not end up with his woman, you lier, you hypocrite.'', cursed Mo Cheng's inner self.

After hearing the voice in his mind he could not take the reality, his head started to hurt badly with his inner self cursing him, he did not know what he was doing, and everything around him in this winter morning became hot, he could feel the heat around him, it was as if he was standing in between the fire, he could feel his head dizzy, and suddenly he caught of something, a stinging pain was what he felt, and when he looked at his palm, he could see a scarlet liquid, it was only then he realized that he was again in the middle of the garden, from where he got the eerily feeling before, but this time he did not get any of such feeling.

The scarlet liquid in his palm had calmed his, wild mind at least that was what he thought, but the heat and dizzy feeling disappeared after seeing blood in his palm, which was due to the pressure he gave, while he caught the white rose by its stem, at that time he did not know what he was doing, and caught the white rose by its stem in frustration.

The scarlet liquid had dropped on the white rose, and it somehow appeared beautiful but, to him it was a stress relief than beauty, it was again his inner self, ''Hahaha, are you distracting yourself with this stupid pain, do you think it will change the reality,'' scoffed his inner self again, making Mo Cheng angry.

''Shut up, I would never cheat my love even it means I have to lose everything that includes my life, said Mo Cheng'' to himself in a lower voice,

''Stop acting like Romeo, you jerk you can lie to others but not to me'', said the inner self.

''I am not lying'', said Mo Cheng to his inner-self.

''As if I would believe you'', said the inner self.

'' Prove it '', said the inner self

'' How ?'' asked Mo Cheng to his inner self

''Go to her ! '' said the inner self

'' Huh, what does that mean, like why ?'', asked Mo Cheng.

'' I said, go to the place where she stood, to know yourself better! what else you thought '', asked, his inner self.

'' I know you asked me to go to the place where she stood, but the actual question was why? and what is your answer mean by to know myself better. ''

''To know if you are attracted towards her''

''I am not attracted to anyone but my lovely lady Song Yi'', answered Mo Cheng.

''Prove it '', said the inner self.

''How?'' , Mo Cheng asked.

''Are you stupid, I said, go to her, why would you want me to repeat whatever I say'' asked the inner self with annoyance.

''But how does it count as a proof'', questioned Mo Cheng to his inner self in his mind

''Feel your heartbeat, if it raises you are attracted'', said the inner self

''Heart also raises when someone is nervous'', said Mo Cheng

''And you always get nervous only in front of Song Yi, but no one else,'' said his inner self confidently.

//NOTE************ Your heart only raises when you are nervous (ofcoursee if you have any heart problems/ physical activity like exercise, running etc) not because you fell in love, u can feel nervous in any where, with anyone or anything but is does not mean they are your soul mate//
