Ianah's POV
In this modern age, who'd have thought that witchcrafts and curses would still be available for those people who seeks for revenge and whatnots.
And honestly, I'm not a person who believes in such things, especially when I myself works as a small time Psychologist in an mental institution.
And for the record, yes, what I believe is the Scientific Explanations and not some just rumors, gossips or conspiracies.
But just a while ago, I got an unexpected call from an unknown person, saying, how she hates me and my ex for making her miserable for all those years and how will she make us suffer with black magic or something.
And I was like What?! I even had no idea who of my ex is she talking about! So I immediately ended the call and blocked it.
Groaning to myself, I clocked out and immediately went back to my place to see my son who's being baby sitted by my Mom.
My son, Issei, is a 3 year old boy and as you can tell, I am a single mother to him because his dad is a trash who only cares about himself.
Reaching home, my son immediately ran to me. "Mommy! Mommy! Granny and I prepared your favorite food!" He said.
Smiling, I then lifted him up and said. "Is that so, baby? Have you guys eaten?"
Shaking his head, he replied. "Not yet, Mommy! We waited for you!"
Smiling once more, I put him down. "Go wash your hands, baby. Mommy will just put my things away."
Nodding, he then went to his grandma and asked it to wash hands with him.
Now sitting on the dining, I then put his food on front of him before I fill my plate and my mom's. Eating our dinner, I then asked my Mom. "Hey, Mom! Do you believe in witchcraft?"
Nodding her head, she said. "Of course! It doesn't mean its not true just because you hadn't experienced or seen one before." She paused before asking. "Why? did some one cursed at you at work?"
Shaking my head, I said. "No, I just received a random call earlier and I think she's trying to curse at me and one of my ex." Shrugging, I added. "Perhaps it's just a spam call so I blocked it."
Face-palming, she groaned. "Oh God! You could have at least listened to what she was saying! What if she really cursed you?!"
"Oh come on, Mom! Is that even possible at this point of time?" I argued.
Shaking her head, my Mom then said. "Nothing is impossible if it's black magic we are talking about, Ianah. We should see a shaman before it gets too late."
Rolling my eyes, I just continued eating and because it was my favorite dish, of course I ate a lot and in the midst of my meal, my stomach just started hurting like hell.
Worried, my Mom quickly attended to me to the bathroom and helped me by rubbing my back. "Are you okay? You are not pregnant aren't you?" She asked, making me glare at her.
"I'm not Mom, I don't even had a man to hook up with." I told her.
Nodding, she continued to rub my back. "Maybe it's just because you're eating too fast, did you even chew it?"
Rolling my eyes, I argued once more. "Of course I did! I just suddenly felt sick."
Nodding again, she said. "Why don't you go ahead and take a shower? Maybe you'll feel better when you get some rest."
Obliging, I just waited for her to get out then headed to the bath and once I'm done, I just kissed my son goodnight then headed to my bed, still quite feeling sick into my stomach.
Immediately knocked out by the discomfort, I quickly entered the dreamland and guess what, it was a memory I tried to bury in my mind for the past 10 years.
â
10 years ago, I had my first ever boyfriend, Isao. We were both 16 years old and despite of being in the same school for three years, it was our first time being as classmates.
And at the very first day, we were immediately teased for being somewhat a good match and soulmates.
Isao Hara, is a tall and fit guy. He is cool and sporty but most of all, he's also a gentleman. But a fact unknown to anyone, but an ex like me must know, Isao could be an extremely aggressive and possessive person.
In aggressive, I don't mean that he ever lifted a his fist on me, but to the person who is he jealous with, or a thing that he comes across when he suddenly snaps.
Anyways, our relationship started as early as the first month of the school year but it also ended soon, after just 3 months, why? well, you'll know some time.
â
Awakened by the memory of my bad break up with Isao, I quickly got up, only to find out something strange.
First, I am not in my room, second, I am not wearing a top, but wearing a boxer short, and last but not the least! I am not in a body of a lady, but of a man!
Given the situation, the initial reaction I had is to check on the mirror and when I did, the next thing I knew is I was screaming so loud that his neighbors had to check on what's going on.
Embarrassed, I immediately apologized to them, and they were like. "Are you okay? You were never this polite before! As much as we can remember you're nothing but an arrogant man."
Unsure of how should I address that, I just excused myself by saying, "I'm sorry for the trouble, I'm actually not feeling well, so please excuse me." I then closed the door as I slide down leaning on it.
Thought the current dillema is over, I crawled up to the couch and started to browse through his stuffs like his smart phone and his laptop, hoping to find out where am I.
But the doorbell started ringing hard, making me get up and immediately opened it. It was then I saw someone in my body, holding my son, Issei. Frowing and obviously mad about something.
Inviting itself in, it then lead my son into the couch, opening the tv and switching its channnel into a child friendly one. Once Issei is hooked, it then pulled me into the room.
"It's you, isn't Ianah?" It asked with my voice.
Nodding, I then looked at it. "Have you had any idea what made this happen, Isao?"
"Well, I am guessing it's Iwa. She called me yesterday and she kept blurting nonsense so I ended the call." It told me.
Nodding again, I bite my lips. "She called me too and I'm guessing she told me the same thing." I paused, looking down. "But why did she have to do this? Aren't you two doing just fine?"
Looking away, it sighs. "Actually, we just broke up not long ago."
Raising my brows, I looked at it again. "If you guys just broke up, then why I am entangled in this mess? Haven't I cut you off the moment we broke up because of her?"
Scratching its neck, it said. "W-well, the truth is... she found out that I'm still not over you, IanahâŠ"
In huge disbelief, I scoffed and looked at it, saying. "Oh please! We aren't teenagers anymore, Isao. This isn't a game! I have a kid now to look over and if this continues, I'm afraid that I can't be a good mother to my child!"
"I know! I was shocked too when I suddenly woked up in your body. What more is, your kid is incredibly attached to you that I had to bring him here with me." It then replied.
Sighing, I sat on the bed. "Can you please just tell her that I am not a part of this? I just want my body back."
"I wish it's that easy. I actually told her that the moment she confronted me, but she won't listen and told me that I must pay for cheating on her." Isao then explained.
"What do we do then?" I asked in uttered defeat.
Shrugging, it then said. "I know it would be an abrupt proposal but, will you agree to live here with me? I mean, not living together as a couple, okay? J-just until this situation is resolved."
Narrowing my eyes at him, I asked. "And why are you proposing this?"
"Well, honestly, I think it would be more convenient to stay here. In here, no one can bother us, since most of my neighbors hates me." She explained.
"B-but how about our jobs?! We can't just cover for one another, especially when we're in the complete opposite practice." I asked again.
Nodding, it then replied. "For that, I think you have to resign."
"What?! No! I might not be earning too much on the job but I just couldn't resign from it!" I immediately opposed.
Scratching its head, it said. "Just resign, okay? Haven't you told me that you want to be with your son? Then, I'm doing you a favor and cater all your needs as long you guys live here with me."
