The night sky is beautiful. Theres soo much stars that lights up the sky, holding the oil paper umbrella that catches the red raindrop that seems to came out of nowhere since theres no cloud thats visible.
"I hate this"
Nothing can ever be compared to the original product of nature and creations...
"Why..."
The world is fair. Its there only to act as a foundation for everything living in it. Will it gets angry if we were to ruin it? No.
"Why why..."
The world will still help you, if we were to ruin it. Then the consequences will be on us... However there is one thing that will be an exception.
"Damn it"
You cant even call it anything, it exist and at the same time it doesent. Its something thats supposed be the starts of everything.
"I wish i can... Do it again or atleast..."
***
A faint of imagination entertains me and the sound of rain drops landing in the roof sounds extremely calming, and the smell of earth is very nice. Judging from the sound of the rain, perhaps its going to last long.
"Mhmnnn"
The voice of a woman in her 20's was heard "Wake up, i know you like the rain."
"Just 5-" In the next second my leg can be felt being grabbed and reflexively opened my eyes "Whuh-"
With great strength, the hand that grab my leg pulls me out of the comfy and warm bed and my head hits the floor.
"I know your head is strong enough for that"
I slowly raise my head and tries to think what had just happend, after all my soul is still somewhere out.
"Can you be more gentle next time?"
The woman who pulled me out of heaven was my mother figure. Then i can feel her presence behind me, she is a tall woman around the height six feet, a black straight hair that goes halfway to her waist, an energetic face, and a dark gray eyes.
"Sorry no can do. Anyway breakfast is ready, i ate my portion you go eat yours"
I slowly got up and she leaves shortly after. I look around, i am in the middle of my room. In front of me is my bed with a window just above it, and its attached to the wall on my left which has a desk beside the bed and a lamp on top of it. On the opposite wall, theres a wardrobe and a table beside it along a mirror beside it.
When i look at myself in the mirror i saw i am in a complete mess, Kaverin Marka is my name. I have a black hair thats completely messy and is standing up, i am five foot nine, i am a bit shorter than my mother figure, a black thin eyes, and a boring face... Atleast to me.
'I should go wash up first'
I took some clothes from the wardrobe and head to the bathroom to take a shower, the bathroom is to the right of my room.
It didnt took long, so i am already done after only a couple minutes, i went to the dining table and see's some fried rice, its simple but its still my mother cooking so i have to savor it.
Then i see her again going out of the house in the rainy day. Probably just relaxing in the porch. Her name is Zukanae, its quite foreign, and surprisingly she's supposed to be 49 years old, yet her appearance says she is in her 20's.
The calendar shows that its currently the year 2010, i am already 18 at this point.
I continue to eat the fried rice until the very last grain, i took the dishes and cleans them in the sink, currently its Sunday so i am free for the day. Once finished i went back to my room and started to tidy it up a bit.
After finishing it, i look around and tries to find soomething else to do 'I've been wasting some time here, speaking of time, its still early in the morning.' I decided to search for Zukanae, so i went to the front door and opened it.
I stepped outside and look around, theres no one here 'While raining really?' She might quite literally doing anything, she is quite unpredictable.
Our house is actually in the middle of nowhere, its a modern house thats sorrounded by nature, in front of the house is a clear lake with a tall mountain on the side and to the right of our house is a dirt road to the closest city. Its currently raining so the mist was covering the view of the lake.
I noticed that theres no umbrella in the umbrella holder, then she really did leave.
"Ugh..."
Theres something i wanted to ask her, specifically i want to ask her about herself. Because even if she is my mother figure she is still extremely mysterious, she doesent even tell me alot of stuff about herself.
I walked back inside the house with dissappointed face. 'Now what?' Theres really nothing that i can do here, usually i would hang out with my friends, however i am pretty sure they are busy currently... They always are.
'There's usually something unique happening when i have nothing to do, like a mailman coming here to give me someone else's message. A dog with a knife on mouth, a random man just came to talk about life and all.'
When stuff like that happened i usually ignored them and told them to leave respectfully.
All of those are pretty random, i really do wonder if it happens to anyone else other than me. And to make it more suspiscious, it all happened when Zukanae is not home.
I looked at the door and noticed that the rain is still pouring down. 'Surely theres no one that will came'.
The next moment.
Knock knock knock
My eyes widen a bit. 'Huh?… oh, it might be Zukanae'
I walk slowly to the door. However, each step i took can be felt weighing down on me, its like as if i i am a blind man walking toward a cliff.
I stopped just as i am in front of it. 'What? This is unusual…' I can feel many eyes looking toward me, or more like searching.
When i look turn my eyes theres no one in the room other than me. "I-i probably should go ba-"
Just before i finishes my sentence the door suddenly burst open and slams me to the wall.
"Ah you took too long!"
It was In fact Zukanae. She closes the door and see's me dizzy on the wall. "Oh sorry about that"
I shook my head and calm myself down. "Ugh… Where were you anyway?"
"The grocery store"
I noticed that she is carrying two plastic bag with food's and cooking ingredient. "Huh. I though the grocery store was quite far away, but you only gone for like half an hour." i put my palm on my forehead because i felt dizzy.
"Honestly, after living with me for over 9 years you still doubted me?"
"Are you even human? We dont have any car after all"
She shrugs. "It felt close to me, and i was enjoying the rain too."
She said that it felt close to her, however the closest grocery store was three kilometers away. Like i said, this person is mysterious.
"Now i wanted to ask... ugh... a question" My head is still a bit dizzy however i can feel it slowly getting better and better.
"Go ahead, and i woll answer it"
'Did she says she will answer it? Damn... I should ask anyway' I shook my head and face her "Who ar-"
"Left on read" She walked away to the living room.
'Was... Me being slammed to the wall a part of her plan.'
"Though! Kaverin, come here for a second." She sat on a couch and pat her lap.
While walking to sit beside her "I am not a child anymore"
"Yeah right... Anyway what i am about to ask you is quite important, so lend me your ear for a minute"
"What is it?"
Zukanae took a deep breath "I didnt adopt you without any reason. Well obviously i wont let a dying child in a random streets, but that isnt my reason for adopting you."
What does she means by this? "Hmm?"
"You'll find the reason soon enough, probably tommorow at school will be when you'll start to realise it."
I am a bit skeptical about this. "Why dont you explain it directly to me?"
She stood up and head to the front porch but before she leaves "Heh... It wouldnt be fun"
I stared at her. 'From all the people i've met she's the weirdest one... Even though its my mother figure' i though.
When Zukanae leaves the room and closes the door i suddenly felt something once more. The feelings of being watched is here again, although this time it felt a bit diffrent.
Now it felt like they are farther away, and the pressure is weak. 'Could it be that its because of Zukanae?'
For as long as we've lived together this is the first time it has ever happened. Now i remember something, the same feeling doesent appear when Zukanae is close to me. But, now that she leaves the feelings appear again.
"This is quite scary"
Considering Zukanae earlier statement, it became quite a mystery. 'Could it be that she knew about this feeling? Perhaps thats why she adopted me.'
I decided to seek Zukanae shelter and stood up. However just as i stood up, i can feel a presence behind me...
