"Deja Vu All Over Again"
― Yogi Berra
Chapter 63: Deja Vu
Do you ever felt the feeling of being in a same day all over again?
or the feeling that you did the same thing twice unconsciously.
the feeling of having already experienced the present situation.
because i felt it right now.
i leaned on the wall and stared at jasmine who is coaxing Ethan to go back to sleep.
Ethan is starting to feel asleep when once again loud explosion came opposite to our room.
i glance at the door and walk toward sit and lightly opened and peak on the door from the other room and saw black smoke coming out of it.
"We failed again! noooooo!"
i sense of deja vu suddenly came into my system.
i shook my head and closes the door and went to sit at my bed.
Ethan who's now widely awake made his way towards me and curls in my arm.
"you go to sleep, it's almost morning"
jasmine nod and yawn. to tired to say something.
in this kind of situation my power isn't useful.
i yawn once again and made my way to sleep.
>>
the three of us jolted when we haired a loud no.
and followed with a explosion.
i don't know if i should be thankful or not. keeping me awake straight is nice but i couldn't sleep anymore because of the loud noises
This is were i wish my illness is serious and noises from outside won't be able to wake me up...
... on a second thought never mind i might never wake up again.
"i'll go fold the clothes"
jasmine tiredly said and stood up and went to the newly brought clothes.
i brought it after settling here in our room. she insist on not throwing the clothes away and use it instead after washing.
but i convinced her to give it to the others.
which she immediately agreed.
i know it's a waste but father said to us that clothes shouldn't be worn twice.
not because we are a noble but because it's more beneficial to those who are selling clothes.
he has a point and also none. but i didn't protest anymore.
i have a feeling i was trick but anyway i'm just following his words. he's my father, no harm done.
"i'm going for a walk'
"Okay"
i carefully put ethan on the bed and silently left the room.
i stared at the lobby and saw melannie drinking a coffee while reading a book.
she glance at me and smile.
"Goodmorning, you are early today'
"yeah good morning, you too"
yes you ar right i am early today. too early that when the clock turned 2 i woke up.
and mind you it was just a 30 mins sleep. i am awesome.
this never happened to me before.
i walk out the inn and stared at the road.
it was shining and a bit wet. did it rain?
how? i didn't hear raining last night. weird.
i started walking towards somewhere and observe the town.
the buildings and houses in this land is different in the land of Gi.
There are shells and oceanic designs on each building and the smell of sea keeps on lingering on my nose.
my eyes suddenly landed on a youg man sitting on the side of the road.
he's staring at me with admiration in his eyes.
i want to turn away but i notice something on his knee.
blood.
actually his knee is bleeding. not just his knee but also his arm and lip.
i could see bruises around his body.
i don't have any pity to someone like him nor i don't care about people at all.
if lilith is here, she won't hesitate to help him and i would just tag along and act concern for her sake.
but she isn't and i'm leaving...
and so i thought because the next thing i know, my feet were moving towards him.
i am walking towards him.
i stop in front of him and both of us stared at each other.
he suddenly sniff, successfully breaking the silence between us.
"What are you doing here?"
it seems like my body is betraying me today.
"i have no place to go... i want to go back to dasos.. but i can't get out this land"
his voice is soft and gentle.
he looks so frail and weak. but there's no weakness in his eyes.
he has some guts.
"Bruises" i lazily ask or said or whatever
he tilted his head and stared at his arms.
"A group me went to talk to me, and suddenly touched me everywhere and i retaliated and then they beat me up but i manage to escape"
Ah .... i don't need a detailed information but okay.
i crouch down and pulled out a handkerchief and gently cleaned his face.
he keep on staring at me innocently and unconsciously leaned on my hand and nuzzles his head with it.
he... he look like a cat.
no a dog.
a dog... i unconciously rub his head and he happily accpeted it.
"i am adopting you" i mumble and stood up and pulled him back to the inn.
"i am suzue call me Ezu"
the dog made an affirmative respond.
i hum satisfied.
as i thought.... dogs are better than humans.
when we arrive at the inn. melannie stared at me surprise.
"Who are you with?"
she seems so shocked . my eyes lightly narrowed and answered.
"he's my new pe- friend... we met earlier and he bar- called at me with pup- cute wide eyes"
Melannie nods in understanding and stared at Noah with a weird eyes as if she's witnessing an anomaly.
"Anyway i need to take care of him, see you later" i lazily sad and drag noah towards our room.
When we finally reach the room, jasmine immediately went to clean his wounds and ethan stared at me sleepily.
"You haven't sleep yet?"
he shook his head no and i walk towards him and let him sleep on my arms.
when once again explosion came.
slowly a scowl appeared on my face... i am starting to get pissed.
who wouldn't i haven't sleeping for a day. Straight!
give them one last chance Suzue... it'll be gone tomorrow.
