Chereads / True Essence / Chapter 69 - Who did that?!

Chapter 69 - Who did that?!

Gen then said, 'What do you mean, Dehji? What is a sand gate?'

And Dehji said, 'Get in there first, and then I'll explain it to you.'

Raja then said, "Gen? Aren't you going to open the door?"

And Gen said, "I will."

Gen then pulled the door sideways so that it went into the wall and entered.

Upon entering, Gen looked around and said, "I thought the house would be dirtier after this year I've been gone."

Raja entered shortly after and began to look around. The house had a reasonable size; to the right, in the corner of the room, was a double bed, and to the left, a table and some chairs. In front of the table was a small kitchen, and in the middle of the house was a door to a small room, which Raja thought was the bathroom.

Raja then said, "It is a nice house. I thought it was going to be a super weird place because it was underground."

"Hahaha, I thought so too the first time I came here, and I think the rent was cheaper because of that too."

Dehji then said, 'Gen, go to the wall with those markings on the kitchen.'

Gen then looked around and said as he looked in one direction, 'You say that wall.'

'That's it.'

Gen then started to go towards the wall, and Raja followed him.

As he stood facing the wall, Raja said, "What is that? Some kind of art?"

The wall had several strange markings that he had never seen before.

Gen then said, "Well, I thought it was, but Dehji seems to know something more about these markings. Let me ask him."

Gen then said, 'What are these marks?'

And Dehji said, 'It's an indication of a passage.'

'Passage? A passage to where?'

'Well, it's easier to show you. Put your hand against the wall, Gen.'

Gen then reached out and touched the wall, and Dehji said, 'Now use my essence.'

'Okay.'

Gen then started using Dehji's essence, and the wall started shaking a little bit.

Seeing this, Raja asked, "Gen, what are you doing?"

And Gen said, "I don't know either. Dehji told me to do that."

After some time of shaking, the wall began to crumble, turning into grains of sand that went into the ground where it had previously been. After this happened, Gen and Raja saw that on the other side of the wall was another room.

Gen then asked, 'Dehji, what is this place?'

And Dehji said, 'I don't know, you can't see anything from here. Go into the room first so I can tell you what it is.'

Gen then entered the room, and Raja followed him. Everything was dark, but after a few seconds, lights came on, illuminating the place.

The two of them could then see that it was a corridor, and at the end of it, it seemed to have another wall with the same symbols that were on the wall that crumbled into sand.

Gen then followed the corridor, and Raja followed him. 

When they reached the wall, Gen repeated the same process, and the wall crumbled into sand.

The two then entered the next room, and after the lights came on, they saw that this time, it was not a bedroom.

The first part of the place was a small room with some baskets and two doors leading to other rooms, and between the doors, there was a corridor.

The door on the left had a symbol of a man on it, and the door on the right had a symbol of a woman.

Raja then said, "Those look like bathrooms."

And Gen said, "That's right, one for women and one for men."

"That's a shame, isn't it?"

"What?"

"The bathrooms are separate."

"And what did you expect?"

"You know, maybe in the empire, they didn't have a problem with men and women bathing together."

"I don't think that will change with time."

"Who knows? Let's see what it's like in there."

Raja then went towards the women's bathroom, but as he tried to open the door, he couldn't open it at all.

Raja then said, "Gen, come here. I think you need to open this door like the others."

"Ok."

Gen started to go towards the door, but then Dehji said, 'This door won't open for both of you.'

'What do you mean, Dehji?'

'It's not locked. The point is that it only open to women. After all, it is the women's bathroom.'

'Got it, that makes sense.'

Raja then said, "What is it, Gen? What's taking you so long?"

And Gen said, "Dehji just told me that this door only opens for women."

"What?!!! Who's the bastard who did that?!"

"Easy, Raja, if you think about it, it makes sense to be that way. It is the women's bathroom, after all."

"And who cares about that, Gen? From the moment they made this door open only for women, they took away so many possibilities that it makes me want to cry."

"Raja, you are exaggerating. The only thing it stops you from doing is spying on women taking baths."

"Of course, it's not just that Gen! I'll give you an example."

"You wake up in the morning, wash your face, and go take a shower to wake up. Because you're a little sleepy, you accidentally go into the women's bathroom, but there's no one there. You then start to clean yourself in the shower and, afterward, get into the enormous bathtub to relax a bit before a day of hard work begins."

"You then stay there for a few seconds when suddenly you hear the bathroom door opening, but you don't mind it because the bathroom is quite large and has plenty of room for everyone to take a shower. You then hear the shower on, and just after that, you notice that the person is coming towards the bathtub."

"You then think in your mind, 'Could it be Jhony from room B5? He usually wakes up around this time.', and then-"

Gen then said, "Hold on, Raja, who is Jhony? And what room B5 is that?"

"Gen, just go with the flow of the story!"

And Dehji said, 'That's right, Gen, we were just getting to the good part.'

Gen then said, "... Okay."

Raja then continued, "Ahem, and then you hear the person's footsteps getting closer and closer, up to the point where they get into the bathtub opposite you. You then think, 'Did Jhony not see me here because of the steam? Let me get closer so I can talk to him a little bit before I leave.', and then you slowly get closer, and the figure of the person gets clearer and clearer, until the point where you realize that it can't be Jhony because the person clearly had two arms."

Gen then said, "Hey, what happened to Jhony's arm?"

Raja then looked at him with a look of disapproval, and Dehji said, 'Shh!'

And Gen said, "If you don't want me to interrupt, stop making this stuff up. How do you expect me not to be curious?"

Raja then continued, "Ahem, until the point where you realize that it can't be Jhony because the person clearly had two arms, and everyone knew that Jhony had lost his arm in an accident in the mines."

"Thank you."

"And then you think, 'Who is it then? The rest of the guys don't usually wake up this early.', you then continue to approach, and with each passing second, the image becomes clearer, until the point where you see her standing in front of you with everything on display."

"You then get a little lost in the moment and appreciate what is in front of you, but then all of a sudden, she starts to turn towards you, and you quickly dive and start back to where you were before. When you arrive, you quickly leave the bathroom and then go towards your room, being careful that no one sees you. When you get to your room, you lock the door and then fall, laying on the floor, with your back against it, and one of your hands on your heart, which is extremely fast at the moment."

"You then start thinking about what you saw before and begin to feel a small warmth in your chest, and then you decide to go to the bathroom in your room to ... ahem, to breathe and calm down a little."

"After a while, you leave the bathroom of your room, and you go towards the outside bathroom again, as if you had just woken up, and then, on the way to the bathroom, you see her coming back from there."

"Your heart starts racing, and you start to remember what you saw before, and then as you get a little closer, you realize that she's waving at you, and so you wave back. You both get closer and closer to the point where you cross paths, and she says, 'Good morning.', and you nod your head since you can't even look at her because of your overactive imagination, which keeps undressing her with every glance you take."

"She then walks past you, and you let out a slight sigh of relief, but soon after doing this, you hear her say, "Next time, you don't have to be in such a hurry. You can take your time in the bathroom."
