Fifty-Nine:
Erix Realm
"About us." He said that makes me feel nervous. "Because when I first met you as Fe, I knew there was a deeper past that came between us. My heart tells me I'm in love with you longer before."
My heartbeat suddenly moves fast and my cheeks begins to feel warm I couldn't hide it from him.
"I…"
"Are you alright?" he asked and before I could answer, his hand already landed down to my forehead checking my temperature. "You should rest more. I think it was because of the new environment the reason why you have a fever."
"No." I answered as I quickly take away my forehead from his hand. "I mean--"
"Jeanne!" I heard Chadd's voice but thinking that we're at the different realm and he was able to come here with us then, he wasn't Chadd he is Asim. "You're finally awake, are you alright now?"
"She's a little bit in cold but nothing to worry her body is just adjusting from the new environment."
"I'm glad to hear it." And stares back at me "still surprised, right?"
"Kind of," I said and shrugged.
Asim smiles a little. "I know you have many questions that you want to clarify but right now, you need to rest more so that you can regain the strength you need in this area."
"Yeah, you were right." I just agreed even though the truth, I badly wanted to ask them, to fully answer all the questions that puzzle my mind. However, I think I should just go to rest and regain more strength so that I can stand still until I finally found out the whole truth. "I'll rest for more, Almos." I added as I look at him.
"Alright." He said and nodded. "Then, we'll leave you for now." He added as he stands up from sitting right next to me.
"Thank you." I simply answered.
"We'll talk later once you fully rested." I just silently nodded and after that they both left me.
In silence and being alone, finally I am able to fully look around.
I'm in a room that's cozy, the furnishings are not grand or expensive, but they're not just plain either. A more correct description of the place is that everything surrounding it is like paradise and even the very bed I'm lying on, it's like I'm in a cloud and it's rocking me that gradually puts my spirit to sleep.
The whole place is simple, clean, light and very cozy and I can't help but think that I am really in the place of Angels.
I am very lucky because I am the only person alive who has set foot in the place of Angels.
"Are you sure you were lucky enough to be here?"
Suddenly I heard an unknown voice and before I knew it, I just saw myself standing into an unfamiliar place. All of a sudden, I disappeared inside my room and now I'm standing on the sea-like path but my feet don't get wet even though the water just keeps flowing over my feet.
'Where am I?' I asked and try to move my body but to no avail.
"I'm not lucky, I'm just passing by."
"From where to…?"
"I… I don't know. I even don't remember."
'Who is he? And why can't I move my body as well as my mouth?'
'You seem so lost, young lady.'
'Is he talking to me?' I asked since he speaks to me through telepathy.
He suddenly smiles at me while his eyes soften. "Even if you don't remember, your heart is aching and weeping."
"Indeed, I'm in pain right now. As if I lost someone so dear to me and I can no longer live and I wanted to just lose forever."
"Yet, you have to fulfill your destiny that even 'He' cannot stop although he manages to lessen your suffering on Earth."
'Suffering on Earth? What does he mean?'
"What's the point of what he did if he's the one who will face everything that should be my suffering?"
I suddenly feel that my heart crashed down deep in agony. I cannot even stop myself from crying.
"What is this?" I asked as I hold the fluids that run down to my cheeks.
"That is tears." He answered then, 'and you are also crying, young lady.'
'Huh? How…'
He smiles as he blinks. 'You have many questions to ask, young lady. But you don't have to ask for more, because slowly, you will remember everything that happened from the very beginning God created you.'
I can't explain it but there is something in him that attracts me and I am so sure I can trust him.
'Who are you?'
'Kamali.' He answered. 'And we will meet soon, young lady.' He added and before I answer, something pulls me away from that scene.
…
"Jeanne!"
I was awake from Almos called and when I open my eyes, I was surprised by what I saw.
"Wh-what happened here?" I asked because the room I stayed has been destroyed.
"Oh, God!" he hugs me so tight I can barely breath.
"A-Almos." I try to get away from his tight hug but he was too strong for me to push him back.
"Almos, you're squeezing her!" it was Asim who spoke and quickly pulled him away from me. "Are you trying to kill her?" he madly said.
"I…"
"What happened? Why was this room destroyed?"
"A Fallen Angel has entered the Erix Realm and he has also brought some demons who rushed here to attack the Angels." Almos answered that I don't understand because if I remember it clearly, this place is sacred, protected and safe which is why I couldn't believe what he just told. "Azazel found a Holy Artifact that can open any Realms and knowing that we'll bring you here, he decided to attack us just to get you at any cause."
Shock, fear and anxiety are what I feel I don't know what else to do anymore.
