Chereads / The Fan(GL) / Chapter 3 - De ja vu

Chapter 3 - De ja vu

Becky just came out of the bathroom with water still dripping from her hair. Wearing a pink robe, she sat on the edge of her bed and faced the Vanity mirror, wiping her hair with a dry towel. Then she turned on the hair blower and dried her hair with it.

While she was drying her hair the rob that covered her chest would occasionally opens, giving easier access to the person who was watching her from the window with a binocular. Becky suddenly felt a shiver as if someone was watching her.

She stopped what she was doing and went to the glass door leading to the veranda. She adjusted the robe covering her chest before peeking outside but she didn't see anything suspicious. She locked the door and closed the curtain and laid her back heavily on the bed making a creaking sound then she sighed as she looked at the black ceiling with a white ceiling fan spinning and her hands were on the side of her head.

She sat up and swung her legs and looked at the pile of paper on the center table of her bedroom with the glowing card on it. She approached the table and looked at the paper, she took the card and put it to the side then she put the story line book of this novel on her lap.

'You, Me and the curse in our souls' is written on the cover of the book, perhaps this is the title of the novel. The title sounds interesting, Becky said in her mind. She was about to open the book when there was a knock on the door.

"Becky, come downstairs, dinner is ready, we'll eat together." Becky's mom said behind the door after knocking.

''Yes, jus a few and I'll be down with you.'' Becky answered back.

Becky just grabbed her University shirt and a jagger after getting dressed she left her the room. The book was left open but unread. A wind suddenly blew on the pages and it seemed dancing as it turned pages and stop on a certain page

'The wisp sings was written on top of the page'

''The sound of her hair is like music to my ears as the wind blows her hair so it dances to the sound of the wind blowing against us as I rest my head on her shoulder and we ride this horse in the middle of the night, where will she take me? I don't care as long as my arms are on her waist and I can feel the warmth of her body on me.

*Let me sleep I am tired of my grief*

'I close my eyes feeling her body close to me.'

'We stopped near the cliff and my eyes lit up seeing

the golden glittering leaves of this old tree near the cliff high above the rocky sea.'

"It's so beautiful here Freen! " I happily said to her while she just smiled looking at me.

Her face was shining like gold because of the light coming from the golden tree.

I know she got what I meant by what I said even though she didn't understand my language.

'This magical moment turned into a fairy tale as the wind blew the tree and the fireflies flew and they danced with the two of us they surround us like stars that just fell to light up our night here in our place , this cliff is our place. And she, is my home.

*And I would like you

To love me, to love me, to love me*

We laughed as we continued to spin hand in hand on the grass until we both fell to the ground.

*This is the night when these woods sigh

Come with me*

'While we were both lying on the grass I watched her freely as she happily spoke in her language which I did not understand. Her gummy smile is consuming me up.'

'' I stared at her for a few seconds, she was beautiful.'' It's beautiful'' its just came out of my mouth that got her attention and she looked in my direction which made my cheeks warm.

'Her innocent face was looking at me with confusion how could a woman like her obliviously do this things to me?'

อะไร?( What?)

'Her voice is cute it put a smile in my lips.'

'I don't understand what she was saying but I love hearing her voice.'

'She was still looking confuse , trying to make a sign language asking if she has dirt in her face I shook my head as an answer.'

'And she pouted her lips cutely which melted my heart'

'She winced when I pinch her chipmunk like fluffy cheeks and she whines caressing her now reddish cheeks I attempted to do it again but she ran away from me.'

'And we ran like kids that night on that grass field '

A crash of something falling on the floor woke up Becky's sleeping body while she was still sitting on the couch in her room. She shook a little in shock and the first thing she saw was a black ceiling. She closed her mouth and wiped it with her hand in case there was any dry saliva but it was good that there was nothing.

She checked herself and noticed that she was still wearing a robe. That's when she realized that she fell asleep on the couch while reading the script. She saw the book on the floor, maybe it woke her up from sleep, it fell from her grasp.

She suddenly remembered her dream, the writer of this book was so good that she too was carried away by the story of the two women and she even dreamed of the scene as if she and Freen were the people in the book. 

Her eyebrows creased seeing the door to the veranda slightly open she clearly remember that she locked it and closed the curtain earlier. She slowly got up adjust her robe she hold the cloth on her chest to cover it more before she walk towards the door. She peek outside its already dark , she saw nothing suspicious she lock the glass door and close the curtain.

She then get a university shirt in her closet and she paired it with a jagger and as she finish getting dressed she heard a knock on the door.

She was about to answer but she stop as she remembered something quite familiar to this scenario but this knocking is coming from the veranda unlike the dream that the knocking was coming from her room's door,  suddenly the knocking stop.

She shook her head getting rid of the eerie feeling and decided to open the door and see who's knocking but as she walk back towards the door she accidentally kicked the script book on the floor she was just reading earlier. She hit her head with her palm realizing she hadn't picked it up when she had woken up she got distracted by the slightly opened door.

She pick up the book and placed it on top of the table .

This day was so tiring she might be overwhelmed with all the event happened this day especially the project and Freen being cheated on by Blew. She thought as she was feeling uneasiness in her chest.

Another knock caught her attention feeling anxious she grabbed the book and slowly walk towards the glass door  ready to attack the intruder.

She slowly open the curtain covering the glass sliding door she was hiding herself behind the curtain while peeking but there was nothing there .She made the opening wider so that she see more.

''Aaah'' Becking was shouting loud hitting the glass door repeatedly using the script book as she panic seeing a ghost outside her room.

''Becky stop!! its me. Yuki.''

''H-huh?'' She awkwardly stop midway of hitting the glass door again and examined the figure standing outside it has a smudge lipstick and a wash out eyeliner and disheveled hair.

''Yuki?'' Becky finally recognize the person standing in her veranda . She got worried to what happened to her friend  looking like a mad person outside her room she quickly unlock the door and slide to open it.

''Waaahh, Becky.'' Yuki hug her as soon as she open the door . 

''Ahh..Becky?!'' Yuki complained when Becky hit  her head with the book she's holding it even made a solid sound.

''You almost killed me out of heart attack!!'' Becky shouted back at her friend annoyed to what Yuki just did to her.

Yuki pouted and cried again that made Becky hug her back and lead her to sit on her bed.

''What happened? And why are you standing outside my room looking like that?'' Becky, ask worriedly.

Yuki was still crying unable to answer her question. 

''Becky! What happened!? '' Worried voices echoed behind Becky's room door.

Becky's room door opened and her Brother Richie got in quickly with her parents holding the spare keys in their hands.

Becky stands up and face her parents leaving the crying Yuki lying in her bed her family was confuse looking at the lying woman on her bed.

Richie eyed her asking about the person lying in her  bed she shrug and gestured him to stop asking  she knows her brother he would just  tease her friend to death. While their parents are still confuse but chose not to say anything and just watch them bickering through their eyes.

''Its okay Rich. Mom ,Dad, I m okay its only Yuki.I' ll handle her. '' She assured them and signaled to give Yuki space. Yuki is her childhood friend that's  why she was also considered by Becky's family as a member of their family.

When her family already left the room she got back to Yuki and sat beside her she caresses her back to comfort her friend.

''I think it will be better , if you would take a shower first to freshen' your body up? '' She suggested when Yuki already calmed herself she really want to talk to her but not to this crazy looking woman in front of her.

Yuki nodded and got up from Becky's bed and got in the bathroom. Becky slump her shoulder and sighed.

''What an eventful day.'' She whispered taking a deep breath while getting Yuki some clothes to wear. 

Becky's POV

" So, you've finally broken up with him?" I ask to clarify what Yuki just told me about the reason why she's lurking around our house looking like mad woman smelling like alcohol.

"No. He's the one who left me alone on that bar and end up being harrass by a maniac guy." She said looking down to her hands on lap.

We are now indian sitting on my bed facing each other.

"That's absurd. How could he? " I said furius to what she just told me.

" I caught him kissing another girl at the bar's restroom. I confronted him but instead of being sorry he left with that slut. " Yuki started crying again still looking down.

I really hate this kind of situation what should I tell her to comfort her?

I awkwardly embrace her and didn't say anything and just let her cry heart out in my shoulder.

I then of Freen how did she react finding Blew cheating on her?

Did she cry this much too?

Who was with her when that happen?

Stop.

I shouldn't be thinking about her she doesn't care about me anyway for her I was just one of their employees as she was the adopted of Blew's family when her family was mudered when she was still a kid and they were agreed to marry each other at the right time.

Their business was handled by Blew's family since they have no other relative. She just can't fight for her right as the rightful heir as she respected Blew's grandfather too much as they were the one who raised her.

She is just like a puppet doing what everybody needs her to do.

And I'm sure this is also the reason she accepted the film.

She is still the puppet that I've known.
