Chapter 6
Rey put a pillow under Reena's head and started to clean up the room. Since he was just a toy bear, there was a limit to what he could do. Some damages were permanent and couldn't be undone. The clean, pink room which was well-maintained was still in a mess. Cold sweat started dripping off his face. He tried everything he could to bring back the room to its initial configuration. But after an hour, he had to give up. What was done couldn't be undone.
Rey slowly started to ponder if these things are not his imagination. This thought made him come back to square 1. Rey realized about Sherlock Holmes book. Once he eliminates the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable is the truth! Even though it can be seen as illogical and improbable, he started considering if he had really become a toy.
Reena's reactions were too genuine and he couldn't realize control over his imaginary materials, he couldn't reverse time nor space. Reena which he thought was created by him according to his ideals may have had this side to her from the beginning. Thus he seriously had to consider if he had a true living toy in a living world.
Rey glanced at Reena who had fallen on the ground with mixed feelings. According to him, she was the kingpin behind his traumatic humiliation. More so she didn't even remember the person upon whom she directed her malice on. She had an ice-cold personality of neglecting other's emotions. She had called him irresponsible!, creep!, shameless!. He was also irked by the hypocrisy in her personality towards him. In a true sense, she had accurately walked over his pathetic, half-assed, scaredy-cat personality which he tried to come out of and sunk him into a deeper swamp.
There was a disturbing feeling towards her within his heart, but another feeling had suppressed it. Now he was no longer in his true body; his new teddy bear body seemed to be more composed and rational. He knew deep within his heart that everything told by her was true. She was honest and did not beat around the bush. She had accurately pointed out his weakness, so he didn't know what to do with her. He also wished if she could be his frien…. He suddenly stopped those feeling of affection "What am I thinking about? Am I being led astray by her beauty? Why did her words sound so convincing? Am I turning into a masochist" shrieked the teddy bear." No, I don't like her and her multi-masked and abhorrent personality. No, add manipulative to that too, she can never be my friend!" shouted Rey panicking.
But all things aside he was genuinely concerned about his situation. Recalling him from his previous memories he was certain that he wouldn't be expelled since Reena had denied the groping in front of the principal and Elena's help.
"The truth brings everything out to light and my efforts would be rewarded. Hopefully, grandpa recognizes???" paused Rey again with a hint of panic in his eyes. "How will they recognize me when I'm in this teddy bear? " Rey could feel that something had terribly gone wrong from his synopsis. "How will I attend my prize ceremony with this body?" grouched Rey in sadness.
"By the way, why isn't she waking up? Won't she catch a cold if she sleeps there?" monologue Rey. He abhorred her personality and her attitude but still had some courtesy to help her. "Oi! Wake up or you'll catch a cold" said Rey closing in towards her ear But it didn't work therefore he slowly shook Reena to wake her up but to no avail. He slowly moved and put his hands on her forehead to check the temperature. He kept trying to sense her temperature on different parts of her body. "Why am I not able to feel her temperature? Is she dead?" panicked Rey as he looked at his hands. "Oh! This teddy bear's body can't feel the temperature. Of course, it's non-living which cannot detect temperature. How dumb of me?" thought Rey hitting his head. Rey felt a soft chuckle in the room which scared the shit out of him. He looked towards Reena but she was still lying unconscious on the cold floor. Rey snapped out of it. It was now his top priority to her on top of the bed, but how could he do it with his petite arm and petite legs of a toy bear?
"What should I do now? Should I dress.. dress her up?" thought Rey " It's an emergency? No perverted thought, only honest thoughts". The teddy bear slipped out to bring out some warm clothes. He had a hard time opening the wardrobe because of his small size. He opened it to find dozens and dozens of clothes. It was not a time to admire, thus he took the clothes and closed the wardrobe. Sadly though, when he brought them back, he couldn't make her wear it. He couldn't even lift her arms to fit those dresses in. "This teddy bear body is absolutely useless" cursed Rey
"Weren't you the type to never to show her weakness in front of society? Are you sure you want me to see you weak and frail?" taunted Rey in order to make her get up from the floor. But however, he tried he couldn't help her whatsoever.
But Rey was absolutely helpless! "Should I let her be? It's not my fault anyway. She didn't take care of herself and showed off her weakness. I have done more than I could! According to her, I should be trampling her for showing off her weakness" Rey convinced himself.
Rey kept thinking about what he could do and suddenly remembered the voice of a young girl in the house. She has a younger sister. He placed a blanket over Reena and left the room to search for the little brat. But he failed to notice the finger twitchings of the fallen subject.
"Little brat! Where are you? Oiii Little brat!" shouted the teddy bear in his kid-like voice. He left the room to enter the hallways. The house was too big for the little toy bear. He put his petite small steps to search for her in the hallways, in the kitchen.
"Is she in the bathroom? Oi brat! Come out fast. You don't have time to be sleeping doing potty. Get out" shouted the teddy bear from the outside waiting for a response since he wasn't able to reach the doorknob. Rey kept waiting outside!
"She's definitely not inside right? Oi brat if you don't come out, I'll come in" threatened teddy bear and banged the door thinking it was locked, but unfortunately, it opened abruptly nearly falling upon potty-hole. Luckily he balances himself from falling upon the watery floor or he would be a watery (shitty) mess since the fur would absorb water and make him uncomfortable.
He breathed a sigh of relief and found out that she wasn't taking potty. He looked up at the clock. It was past 11 pm, it was way past bedtime. There was only one room where he had to check i.e., a room where one sleeps.
The teddy bear walked towards the bedroom which he hadn't entered. The bedroom, a forbidden room in which some parents not even allowed. It was teddybear's first time entering a girl's room outside.
