Eighty-Three:
'Return to Earth'
What Dione talking about made me think if I can really go back to normal once I return to earth? So, before she can finish her statement I quickly cut her off and speak up what I truly feel.
"And what? After learning something about my past life, do you really think I can easily go back to my normal life? Because I don't." I seriously stated.
Dione stays quiet as she takes a deep breath and just silently looks at me.
"Jeanne." Suddenly we heard Asim's voice. "We have to talk." He seriously stated before turning his gaze to Dione. "Go ahead I'll be the one to make her understand everything."
"Alright, I'll leave you with her."
…
"What do you want to say, Asim?"
"He already said his farewell," he begins. "Isn't it enough for you to go back to normal?"
"Do you really need to ask me of it?" I asked and added. "After all what happened and what I already seen from my past life… I don't think I can."
"And that is what I came here for."
"For what?"
"To help you back to your normal life," he said that I just stare at him. "You need to forget. And to help you with it, here is what you need."
He handed me a crystal bottle with clear water on it. "What is that?"
"A water to drink." He simply answered.
"What content it has? Or is it some kind of liquid that will help me to forget everything I've known from the beginning?"
"It is only Almos that you will forget and nothing else."
I stare on it longer as I think of it if I'll accept it and let my entire memories about Almos be erase. Though, as I think of it further, the more my heart feels suffocated.
'Why?' I wanted to speak out loud but I can no longer say a word out of my mouth.
"Just take it and decide. Since that, it was Almos prepared it for you and wish you'll choose the right thing to forget him."
I was surprised from what I heard from him and it was hard for me to accept the truth. It was Almos wish for me to forget him even though fragments of my past memories gradually connecting. And he's a part of it, so how can I forget him and go back to normal so easily?
And I don't think it was just a simple water just to forget him, there is more to it than what Asim explained and I can only learn if he was telling the truth once I drink of it.
…
Next day…
"Is everything prepared?" God Kamali asked me and Asim.
"Yes, we're ready to go." Asim answered while I just quietly watching them.
"Jeanne, I know what's on your mind." Suddenly Kamali approached me. "But then, what Almos done is the right thing to do. You need to be safe and that is the most important thing to do. That is why you have nothing to worry because after drinking the water given to you by Asim you will forget everything about him."
"Do I really need to forget him?" finally I found my voice to speak and added. "Is that what he wishes for?"
"Indeed." He answered without a doubt. "He wanted you to forget about him and live your life back to normal."
"Then, what I've learned from my past life should also be forgotten because as long as I remember it, I will never ever be able to forget about him."
Kamali smile at me. "That is much better if you will totally forget everything you have learned and discovered. However, your heart will continue to remember no matter what and you'll suffer as you continue to walk through a path without a light to guide you. Are fine with it?" he seriously stated.
"Are you suggesting to let me forget or to let me not forget? Because of what you expressed, it seems that you don't want me to forget and that I only keep remembering all about my past life."
"It is up to you if you'll listen to what I say or do whatever you decide to do."
I heavily sighed after what I heard from him.
"God Kamali." It was Asim. "Don't complicate her because we still have a long journey coming back on earth."
"You were right, Asim." He agreed and walks back. "Now, now! There's an easy way for the two of you to go back on earth without any guidance coming from an Angel. Though, there's one condition you have to do."
"Whatever it is, we will follow." Asim answered.
"He was right we'll just going to follow what you said so." I finally decided.
Kamali smiled. "Then, the condition is, once you enter the portal going straight on earth, you should never ever look back no matter what you heard just continue walking straight and that's all you have to do."

Between Ninth Kingdom and Earth
"Let's go Anne."
"Wait, aren't you going to go back as Chadd?"
"I will after we left this place because right now, I need to protect Chadd as he is a human and will only result for him to put his life in danger."
That explain it entirely and I agree with him.
"Are you two ready?" we heard Angel Zamariel asked.
"Yes we are ready." We answered in unison.
"Good, I'll open the portal now." He announced. "And remember what God Kamali told you. Never––"
"Look back no matter what we hear. Just go straight and we'll be safe after passing the barrier you put around the crater." I said cutting him off.
"She's right." Asim answered before turning his gaze back at me. Worries were written from his eyes yet it quickly gone. "Let's go?" he asked which I just nodded as an answer.
Afterwards, we finally enter the portal going straight back to earth with a heavy heart.
