"Food? What food you like. There's a night grocery here nearby. I can go do groceries for you." Rosalie offered to the voice that she can do groceries for her.
"You do not understand, Rosalie." The voice said again.
"I do not understand what?" Rosalie asked.
"What I am asking is the food of existence!" Queen Riza replied to Rosalie.
"All foods are for existence," Rosalie mumbled. "If you will not let yourself, be seen, then I want to sleep."
And Rosalie covered her whole body with a blanket, the same time mumbled. "Talking to myself, I am really becoming crazy."
"Okay, I think I have to introduce myself to you. Will you please stand and look at the mirror on the wall?"
"No, first you have to say to me your name, who are you." Rosalie refused what the voice was asking of her.
"I am your sister, my name is Riza, Queen Riza!"
Suddenly Rosalie sat straight on her bed when she heard what the voice said.
"Please repeat to me what you just said?" Rosalie asked the voice to repeat again what was just said by the voice.
"My name is Riza. I am a Queen! I am your sister." The voice repeated what she had said.
"I do not have a sister here in Rotterdam, my sisters were all in the Philippines," Rosalie told the voice that all her sisters were in the Philippines.
"I am your sister, your younger sister Riza. Believe me, I am telling you the truth." The voice insisted.
"I do not know. That woman in the Paranormal Fair said to me that my guardian angel is my sister, her name is Riza. I do not believe her, I thought she was just making stories."
"She was not making stories, Rosalie because I really exist." Queen Riza told Rosalie that the woman in the Paranormal Fair was not making stories.
"But she said it was with my past life, my previous life, not now the present," Rosalie said that what the woman was talking about was from her previous life, not the present.
"That's true but you see we are immortals." the voice answered Rosalie.
"My past life was maybe a long, long time ago. How come you still exist? Like that sister of yours that was the Queen too, she died a long time ago." Rosalie argued with the voice.
"Yes." The voice that introduced herself as Queen Riza became sad. "She was a good person, my sister, and her tragic death had changed everything. I only became Queen after her death."
"You see, you said it, your sister had died already, so I am not your sister," Rosalie said.
"You are my sister, no doubt about it, I said it to you, we are immortals." the voice insisted that they were sisters.
"No, I said it to you, I am not your sister so you must go away." Rosalie droves the voice that's talking to her away.
"I cannot go away, because I really need your help." the voice answered Rosalie that she could not go away because she needed the help of Rosalie.
"How can I help you when you are invisible? You are only a voice and maybe you only sit in my mind because of that woman talking about my previous life." Rosalie said.
"Look at the mirror on the wall!" the voice said.
"Okay." Rosalie got out of her bed and stand in front of the mirror on the wall. She saw herself in her pajama. "Now, I am standing already in the front of the mirror."
"Say, mirror, mirror on the wall. I want to see Riza, my sister!" the voice told Rosalie to say the words.
"Okay." And Rosalie said what Queen Riza told her to say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, I want to see Riza, my sister!"
Rosalie saw what's happening. The mirror became blurred and then when it became clear, she saw no reflection of her in the mirror.
"I have no reflection in the mirror, I lost my shadow!" Rosalie exclaimed. Then suddenly she saw a woman in the mirror with a crown on her head. The woman was dressed as like the princess or the queen in the mid-century. The woman was smiling at her.
"Hello, Rosalie, or I would say Eliazora, your real name." Queen Riza said.
"Where is my reflection, why I do not have a reflection in the mirror? And you, you like exactly me behalf the dress you're wearing and crown!" Rosalie was in panicked as she saw herself no reflection in the mirror.
"Eliazora, you will only see me when I borrow your reflection." Queen Riza said to Rosalie.
"My name is Rosalie. Just call me Rosalie!"
"I will only exist by borrowing your reflection." And Rosalie could not believe it. The woman or Queen Riza stepped out from the mirror and stand in front of her.
Rosalie was nailed where she stood. As her reflection in the body of Queen Riza came out of the mirror. She must be afraid but she was not, she just stood there in trance.
"Hey, now I am not only a voice, but I am also like you! I have now a body" Queen Riza said to Rosalie as she brought her face straight to Rosalie's face that Rosalie could felt the breath of Queen Riza.
"You are me! You look exactly like me." Rosalie said to Queen Riza as she moved her face away from her. "You must only be my imagination but you smell moths!"
"Now, I agree with you, here is so fresh!" and Queen Riza snipped her nose as to inhale the air. Rosalie just followed Queen Riza with her eyes as Queen Riza roamed her bedroom. "Your things are simple but clean and nice!"
"Thank you!" Rosalie answered Queen Riza. "What do you want from me?"
"Help! I want your help." Queen Riza answered Rosalie as she walked toward her and touched her in the neck. "Your neck looks nice! Beautiful!" *To be continued* Remedios Dorio
