Empty Space A PURPOSE
A cold breeze caresses my skin that runs through the deepest part of my being.My mind is in a mess.But one thing is for sure… His name kept repeating inside my head.I mean his name is Shier.In the entire thousand’s of years, no one dared to name the same name as the prince of the Smerte clan.I am sure that if he is saying the truth then I am deeply in trouble. I get the journal and quickly put my hand in it.“What an odd name.” I heard what Hyria said.“What are you?” He was shocked for a second, thinking of something. At that moment he just stared at her despite the pain.“You will not understand me or what I will say to you.” she just smiled.“Try me.” Shier inhaled deeply before he opens his mouth“I am an Angel from the Smerte clan.”“An angel or a fallen one?” She said sarcastically.“I am not joking.” The rope did not react since it is proof that he decided to tell the truth.“Okay, I’m sorry.” Hyria said after a moment of silence then I heard Shier continued what he is s
Empty Space WAITING PATIENTLY
NADIE’S P.O.V.I can’t help to cry deep inside since I don’t have an eye. I never thought that I could encounter something similar yet different situation in this life.I understand what Hyria is going through. It is hard to live and struggle in everyday life. Where I just also wanted to live like everyone else, but what can I do?If shier is telling the truth then even if she does not die today, someday she will die. He said that it is inevitable then even if she struggled a lot and consistently trying to be alive. The result will be the same.Now that explains why Hyria is so unlucky. She is destined to die in this story from the very beginning. Does that mean that Cerez is the true heroine in this story? If I haven’t intervened what would the story be?… Going back, Shier truly lives up to what he says earlier about not doing any harm to Hyria.I was anxious earlier when Hyria fainted in his arms while crying.

Empty Space PATIENCE OF HYRIA
I am living in a studio-type apartment so I can see everything I have.In normal circumstances, I usually saw everything too much that it overwhelmed me.But now…I saw nothing, too much that I fail to recognize my room…Is this what you call a nightmare after a nightmare?Or did someone rob me?I scan the room again just to be sure I wasn’t mistaken, but my eyes failed me.I saw nothing but the man sitting on the floor like a prince that even I can fall.But I am irritated right now to appreciate his very existence.I don’t know where I would start.Do I have to start about me crying on his shoulder or me being a sacrifice or my things that got lost?I guess I have to start at…“Where are my things?”“What things?”“My thing’s, the table there, my plates should be there and my… my used clothes that you might see everywhere.”I can see how shocked he was, but can you just answer me.“I put it outside because they are uncomfortable in the eye. It also stops me from moving freely. Why d
Empty Space AN INNOCENT MAN
It’s almost three in the afternoon when the cleaning started and Hyria’s things are back to their normal place. Thanks to Shier’s effort it is well cleaned.“Come sit here” Hyria pat the space beside her on the sofa and then Sheir moved to sit beside her. “You see that box?” He nods and I smile while opening it. When the television opens, Shier almost jumps in surprise.I never knew that keeping your laugh is tiring so I just slip.“Hahahahaha!” I just laugh to my heart's content. I cannot help it, even if he is awkwardly surprised by it, it just took him a second to adjust and come toward the television.“The people are inside the box! Why they are there? I mean the human is inside that box.” “We, humans call it televisions, where you can see everything you want to see.”“Do you want to eat?” Hyria asked him while I moved to go to the kitchen.“No, I don’t need to eat anyway.”“You have to try some things in this world so when you go back to heaven or your home you can tell
Empty Space A DIFFICULT TASK
NADIE’S P.O.V.I used to go out and see people at night when darkness is everywhere.That is the time I felt safe.However, I never knew that there will be a day that I stand in the afternoon sky where the shadow of the trees hid me from the sunlight.I am not allergic to sunlight.It’s just that I live in the dark for too long that being under the sunlight gives me a foreign feeling.It’s as if I forgot the feeling of living with the bustling noise of the people, the honking of the cars, people walking on the street, chatting as if there is no tomorrow.I felt so exposed, that I was naked under the afternoon sun.But what can I do?My legs moved to step on the trunk under the wings of the tree leaves. This is the only thing I can do so no one will notice me.But why?Why are they going where a lot of people are headed?Can’t Hyria go to a place where few people come?I can not protect her if there are a lot of people.I sit when I saw Hyria in the crowd with Shier.They are currently
Empty Space EXCUSES
Hyria's P.O.V"Am I wrong?" All I can see is the mask in front of me as if it was looking right through me while hearing those thoughts.I was stunned. Somehow, it felt like a big slap on my face.I know that leaving that man is the most cowardly thing to do right now, however keeping him threatened me and comfort me at the same time. I don't know how he does that.But his hostility catches my attention and with that face of him. I shiver at the sight of that coldface.Yet, he surprised me with his adorable childlike innocent act.My guilt puts a weight on my shoulder while I was cooking for him. I can still remember his amazement and smile of satisfaction while eating the food that I made.I tried to teach him everything I know from the time I'm with him.I know that it is not enough, but what can I do?I was threatened by the fact that If I do not do this hastily then I can not do this ever again.Nadie was taken aback by the thought of Hyria.“You…”“You love him?” Hyria rolled
Empty Space THE NIGHT SKY
Shier's P.O.VIn the short time that I am in this world, I was amazed at how they evolved in the present day.I also confirmed things from a bunch of theories in the books that I read. One of those is the different aura of the human. When I visited the human world long ago, it was faint, almost that my kind didn't recognize it.The aura of a human represents a different kind of color however there are ways to recognize if people are having trouble or happy in their life.Happy and contented human tends to have a brighter aura while those who are having troubles have a darker one. Though it’s just a hunch base on their memory when I touch the shadow-like aura that lingers around their bodyWhen I am looking down and saw people. I am amazed that it resembles the sky above after the last glimpse of the sun. Where darkness spread in this vast land and only a few who is shining brightly despite the lights of the town.If this phenomenon happens in the past. There is no way that we are gonn
Empty Space SLEEP
“Ever since I was born, they said that I am unlucky. "My mother died by giving birth to me when she was perfectly healthy. Then my father’s business goes into bankruptcy and didn’t take responsibility or even care for me. At least that’s what my untie says.” When I open my eyes I saw the very man who approach me in the park. My eyes wandered and all I can see is a familiar place again, where everything is black. While he is sitting on the floor with those sharp eyes looking at me. If only looks can kill, I would be dead by now.However, if you are gonna look deeper his eye expresses desperation, anxiousness, and exhaustion. I am curious about it. What happens that you look very tired? It is as if he is ready to… “My untie, the third sister of my mother adopt me.” My eyes blink twice when I heard his voice. I guess my head wanders again.To my surprise, a big screen just pop up in front of me and I saw a familiar woman. The one who pushed the little boy earlier.“ Well, I guess
