All he had to say was written on the piece of cloth in just three lines.
-I'm leaving. Don't follow me. Please.-
The last one was just a word. Please.
I returned back to my bed and sat down with Perl still sitting on my shoulder. I read those words again and again trying to comprehend them. For some reason, those simple words were very difficult for me to understand. My brain was malfunctioning through the whole process of me trying to read it. So I read it again and again and again. Pearl moved closer to my neck as if she was trying to console me over the message written on the cloth.
"What does he mean, Pearl?" I asked her. But she wasn't giving me a proper reply. "What does he mean by asking me not to follow him?" I asked her in vain.
But immediately, someone knocked on my door. It made me wonder if it was him, Victor. I knew it can't be him since I'd just received a message from him, still, I hurried to the door and opened it.
