>>Yohan“You saw something.” Ruda grabbed my arm, “I noticed the magic item in your hand,” He stared at me intensely, with so much desperation in his eyes I couldn't look away “What did you see?” His grip on my arm was tight.“I- I’m not sure if you’ll be pleased to see that.” I’m not sure what to feel after seeing this either. This changes so much yet it doesn’t. I didn’t expect this when I brought the item to look into memories. I didn’t expect something so- cruel?It reminded me of how soft dad has been with us. He made sure not to even stumble close to what his father did to him.Seeing his memories gave me feelings I didn’t know how to handle.“I want to!” Ruda whisper-yelled at me and I knew he was desperate, I could tell from his voice, “Tell me. I need to know.”I looked at him and then at Chloe who was almost done stacking the dishes and was going to take them to the kitchen.Chloe…It’s the same Chloe from dad’s past. Same chestnut colored hair, same blue eyes. She stayed by

>>Maya“Maya?” Yohan helped me out of the car, “Have you lost weight?” We had just come back from Quincy’s house and it was around 11 in the morning.“I have?” I played ignorant.He seemed worried, “Yeah. You seem a lot lighter.” He stared at me, “And thinner.” I just smiled in return.“I guess I’m getting an ideal woman’s body.” I fiddled with my thumbs and he stared at me with a weird expression.Was he catching onto something?“I-” He wasn’t sure what to say so he stepped closer and picked me up suddenly.“Yohan?!” His actions surprised me, “Yohan, we’re still outside!” I tried getting out of his embrace but he held onto me.“Maya. You’re hiding something from me aren’t you?”“What? Let me down first! We’ll talk inside.” He stared at me, “Yohan people are staring.” He glanced at the bystanders and I took the advantage of that distraction and managed to get down. Then I ran inside without wasting any time and went to my room upstairs.Yohan was outside my room in a few minutes and h

>>Yohan“I’m so sorry.” Mom came closer to me, her trembling hands reached my knees while I sat on the grass in despair.“It’s because she accepted that she's going to die?” I looked back at her with eyes full of tears, “What kind of a curse did you even-” I almost choked on my saliva as I tried talking while trying to hold my tears, “What even-?!” I couldn’t form the words as my vision blurred due to the unshed liquid.“I’m so sorry Yohan.” She reached out for my hands and held them softly. I noticed her hands were very thin and pale and more than that they were trembling like crazy. I looked at her, I couldn’t take it anymore and tears fell down my cheeks. I noticed hers had already wet her face, “I have no other words.” Her voice was shaking, “But to ask for forgiveness. It was all my fault.” I could sense the guilt and sorrow laminating her voice, “I was wrong.” Her green eyes that were just like mine wouldn’t stop spilling and same was the case with me. My tears could no longer b

>>MayaIt was the weekend and I felt so full of energy that I had to go and meet the two people today no matter what.Afraid that this form of health might never come again, I decided to make use of the day and meet the important people and tell them things I need to. I dressed up warmly and did some light makeup with a darker lip stick to appear good.Firstly I was going to meet Ruda.Yohan had already told him about me and since that day he’s been avoiding me. I had already left university so I couldn’t meet him daily like I used to and he wasn’t picking up my calls and barely replying to my texts. So the only thing I could do was catch him off guard and drag him to the cafe or something and make him listen.That fool really is an idiot.Like keeping his distance would solve anything. Things were already set in action and nothing could be changed now. Because I had already made a decision.Since it was saturday I decided to sneak up on him in his dorm.***I knocked on his door lik

>>MayaI went back home, Yohan was already waiting for me even though it was way past midnight.He smiled as he looked at me and I smiled back at him but deep down we both were just hiding the pain.We both knew that and still played along with it.“Do you want anything special to eat in the morning?” He asked.“I feel like I can’t eat anything heavy anymore.” I could barely eat anything with Nena. I practically forced myself to show her I was fine, “So, just something light maybe…” I walked over to the couch he was sitting on and sat down next to him and rested my head on his shoulder.“Did you have a satisfactory conversation with Ruda and Nena?” He leaned his head over mine.I nodded, “Yea,” I smiled, “I’m satisfied.”“I see,” He held my hand, “That’s good then.”And just like that time continued to pass, although I barely felt any physical pain, I got weaker by the day.Yohan spent most of his time at home with me. He brought all his work home and only visited the office when it wa
