In late evening the phone rang. Aya was staring out the window, as the darkness of the room surrounded her.
"Hey there hun." - She answered the phone.
"Hey there my dear." - Husbands voice was really the needed bit she ought for. - "How are you?"
"Absolutely tired. Mentally, not physically. Body seems to be quite energised, unlike my mind."
"Poop honey." - He let out a soft giggle. - "I've researched the mystery. Things don't look well."
"Um?" - Aya awoke a little from the hazy mind she had.
"The other students were also female. They really closely resemble you, or rather you resemble them." - He breathed out. - "I'm concerned."
"What do you mean I resemble them?" - Aya was puzzled.
"Well, your face looks close to how they look. And thing is - they went missing. All of them. Not found. First one had disappeared 15 years ago. The next vanished in thin air four years after the first one. They both had studied under Levin for around eight months, then nothing. There are no police reports, no information. Just missing person case that was never solved. Aya, I suggest you pack your stuff and head home. I'm no longer convinced that you're safe there." - Husband stern in decision and really concerned tone started to make Ayas heart fill with worry.
"Hun, I'm buying you tickets for the day after tomorrow. You just say there is emergency at home. You'll have tomorrow to prep and pack." - His voice was sounding in ears.
"I get it. I really get it. I'm here for few months and you know how I really just wanted…" - Aya tried to find some words, but her husband cut her off.
"Aya, my dear wife, I care about your safety more than anything. I care about you, more than anything. If there was something to happen to you - I'll kill." - The cold dedication and worry were in his tone. She knew she has to agree, or this is not ending well.
"Alright. Send me the ticket details." - She conceded.
"I will. Aya, if you won't make the train - I'll come in person. If you won't answer the call - I'll come in person. You better not be stupid, or…" - He sounded like the worrywart he is.
"Or you'll come in person." - Aya cut in. - "I know. I know. And I won't do anything that would get me in trouble. Trust me."
"I do."
The rest of the conversation was easing out the situation. He spoke of the day at work and how he was drowning in papers, then how the office had a very strange customer.
Aya decided not to tell about her day. She felt that worrying her precious man would be a bit too much, on top of what already happened.
As the conversation was done, she looked out the window on her third floor.
The person who sat in park opposite the dorms strangely reminded Levin. The person was facing the building, as he sat on the bench.
"Weirdo." - Aya silently said.
