He was shocked to his core by the revelation of this soul marriage. He didn't know how to handle all of this information.
Alan is an introvert didn't know how to start a conversation with anyone. He doesn't have anyone to call his friends, only acquaintances, and his source of interaction is his family, sometimes colleagues.
But after he failed to awaken and endured daily struggles, he became more gloomy. Yet he understood his responsibilities and did everything he needed to do for his family.
Now, a new responsibility has attached itself to his fate, and he won't abandon his responsibilities— that's how he was.
"so, yeah, we are all bound forever. I don't plan on dying early, so you'll have to bear with us." Elena finished her speech about the soul connection.
Alan also saw their expression; they were also helpless against this soul marriage. The only difference is that both women already accepted their fate.
" So, is there no way to sever this soul marriage?" his voice was shaky while waiting for an answer. This time, Christiana answered his question with a glum demeanor.
"No, I don't think there is any way to escape this."Alan sank onto the bed with a dejected look on his face.
Both women understood his position. After all, why would he care for some unknown woman? They both tried their best to find some way out of this in these last seven days, but couldn't find anything.
Alan noticed their expression was the same as his, for a long time it was brief silence for all of them.
" If you don't want us to live here, we will leave from here, we don't want to become a burden for you." Christiana broke this long silence with her suggestion.
Alan didn't say anything, again silence enveloped the room. This time both women gave him all the time he needed and didn't utter a single word.
"All right, I have decided," Alan kneeled in front of them and offered his hand," if both of you are fine with it, I guess we should start by knowing each other. Also, I do not want to disappoint beautiful women."
Both of their faces lit up after hearing his words and Christiana blushed lightly hearing beautiful women.
Alan noticed the slight blush in her."God, she is so fucking cute, My heart gonna explode."
Suddenly her entire face turned into a red tomato and she hid her face behind Elena's shoulder. For some reason, Alan also felt that Elena became happy and she was trying very hard to not show this expression on her face, but Alan noticed that her ears turned red. Alan's heart was on the verge of melting, because of the adorable sight in front of him. Looking at his deep gaze Elena also hid her face with her palms.
"Stop looking at us like that," Christina said slightly peeking through the shoulder of her sister's.
Alan's lips unconsciously formed a genuine smile, the smile he had only shown to those who were important to him.
Alan also felt he could now tell what kind of emotion they were feeling, and it was different from his intuition.
"So, you both can sense my emotions." Alan leaned toward them
"Yes, we can tell what kind of emotion you are feeling towards us or anyone." Elena gathered herself showing her usual confident look.
Alan finally solved how they knew about his thoughts.
" Anyway, what are the functions of soul marriage," Alan asked them with a gentle tone.
"We don't know anything, other than the strong connection we felt toward you." The recovered Christiana responded to him.
"Hmm!" Alan whispered lost in his thoughts before dropping another question on them.
"You said before, you both found me inside the rift, so how did you both enter the rift."
"We didn't enter we just appeared out of nowhere in front and at that you are unconscious suddenly bright white light envelopes all of us connecting all our souls and after that, we suddenly appeared in your room."
Alan felt someone was pulling all these strings, and he didn't like any of that, previously Alan wouldn't have cared anything about who would use him or who would mock him, it didn't affect him at all, but now all of a sudden he didn't like being used by someone, he hated himself for being weak, he loathed himself why did he give up about his dream, why did he let them bully him.
" Let's stop thinking about, what's done is done, i should be focusing on the present." Alan calmed himself taking a deep breath.
" So where are you from?" Alan's previous annoying look turned into gentleness when looking at them.
Elena hesitated before telling him, "We are not from this world, that's all I can tell you right now."
"What?" Alan was surprised to find that there were still more worlds other than his world, truly after this day nothing could surprise him anymore.
Alan noticed the sudden hesitation in her voice with an angry look on both of their faces, so he didn't ask her anything about it anymore. Alan knew everyone has secrets that they want to hold and he had not earned their trust so why would they spill their secrets to him? When they feel they are close enough they can tell him that, after all, they are now his wives till the day he dies.
"I think I should sleep in the hall, and you guys can sleep here." sensing the tense atmosphere Alan changed the topic and walked towards the hall to get his mind some rest.
Alan was lying on his sofa thinking about all the things that happened in the last seven days, he didn't know if he was cursed or lucky, but one thing he was sure about was that he wanted them to become completely his, he didn't know where that sudden urge came, but for that he have to work hard.
"Also, whose voice that time heard inside the rift?" Alan pondered.
Suddenly he felt a familiar sensation in his mind.
