2024-10-29 19:42:56"So what's your name? I didn't receive your information yet, it seems there's a network issue with our system. Could you help me fill out the forms", says Lisa.
"Nurse, could you bring him some drinks before we start his service," said Lisa.
Mr, would you like coffee, or can drink? She asked.
"Any! Sure! I'm Jim. Lives somewhere far from this village though" he smirked.
"So she really doesn't remember me!" Jim thought.
"Something is definitely not right, I'm sure it's not fine"I kept saying to myself.
"How come that guy looks exactly like Jim? How he gave me that pitiful look, something is definitely going on that I am not aware" I thought again.
While scribbling and scattering things away, someone opened the door and it was My wife.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Mike," she said while shivering.
"Why are you shivering? Are you sick? Was work bad?" I kept asking Evy.
I don't know what she was hiding but she kept looking around as if she was hiding from someone that's totally something else. I asked her to come and close the door…
Why is she shaking? Did something happen at that moment? I didn't even wonder how she found that room, I was scared, she was behaving so strangely.
Evy say something, come on! you are scaring me, could you just talk, did anyone hurt you while you were at work" I questioned her.
"Mike you aren't a survivor but a dog on trial"Evy said.
I locked the room and offered my wife a chair to sit on. Due to how she was shivering, it was best to offer her warm coffee and a nice jacket to put on. I could see she was okay now.
"Evy, what's there that I have been missing? I asked.
She kept murmuring something for a while and later stood up to the board and wrote hundred and twenty-four (124).
I don't really know what's going on.
"You are successful on trial 124 project," she said.
" I'm a hundred and twenty-three," she continued. We got married because it was a way for me to protect you. Each time you have Tinnitus I make sure to mark the calendar.
"What are you saying? Evy! What is a hundred and twenty-four? or whatever. Could you just break it down? I pleaded.
" I will summarize it for now, because there's no time to waste," Evy said.
" On the night after your shift, you were kidnapped not just you but your friends too. I was sitting close to you, that's how we got our numbers. Most of those who got kidnapped died for what I know now, Nodle is still alive along with your friends, but don't know what might happen later.
Also, Jim is out! He's under trial. I got in contact with him and he's currently playing a deaf role of not remembering what happened" she said.
" Okay okay, meaning we were dating and then we got kidnapped, now thankfully my friends are alive and Jim was able to come out like me but is still on trial just like me.
So you knew all this while why now? I added.
"We are being watched and this place is wired, it's the only place I know for now that they can't get us. Currently I have arranged pillows on the bed as if it's us…I will explain later, Mike, " she said.
Wait for one thing, for now, if they know you're trying to figure out what is happening thus you need to play the fool like Jim and me, I don't know who sent that to them. But we have to look for a place where they can't track us. A few moments from now this place will also be found" she added.
I have brought only Lisa here, Does she have a hand in whatever is going on? She wasn't able to recognize Jim? I thought.
"Are you following what I'm saying? Mike" she shouted.
"What's that Tinnitus? I questioned.
"From the look of things, whenever it happens…it's like time travel. As if you're being programmed. You move from today to the next week of that day and even month or year. It's really something bad. For now, you aren't able to channel it.
"Channel it," I asked looking confused.
"Huh! I thought you were smart. She said,
Well, Channel, the Tinnitus is like controlling where you want to go and once they find out you can do that, they will come for you since you are already a successful tool, She remarked.
"This whole thing is definitely worse than Tinnitus, how do I even trust you?… I questioned her.
" I stole a certain medicine on the day I was sent there to give everything about what you've been doing?
That's why you haven't had any Tinnitus for now. Even though we are being watched, they still want me to give details since I promised that you won't disturb them and we will focus on our life. We have twenty-five days till the trial is over, this is the reason why I came to you.
Also, DON'T TRUST ANYONE!
Said, Evy.
" I'm really happy that you came to me but for now what should we do," I asked.
"Well, what couples do" she smirked.
"What do couples do? I love it" I said.
We left the secret place for now… got into our house and pretended nothing was happening. I went to the kitchen where Evy was, I hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheeks and neck.
"What are you cooking, babe? It's already 7:30 in the evening. Could we just drink some juice, I said.
"Oh no! The doctor says you should check on your diet since you have a few days left for your general checkup or do you like to stay at the hospital, Evy said.
"Then can you give it to me after I finish eating the noodles? It's been a while since I had that, I chuckled, grabbing her butt.
"Haha! Funny you are! Sure since it might be of help for your health.
NEXT DAY
It's already another day for our couples thing. So refreshing since I have finally started to trust Evy.
"You've gotten a call, it's from Lisa" Evy shouted.
What does she want now? I must not let her know that Evy knows everything, that might endanger her. I thought.
", Could you answer the call, I'm working on something for now" I pleaded.
In life to get what you want you have to go through struggles, suspicions, fear of being alone, scared, and a lot in life that one doesn't know of, I'm going through one now!
For now, it's the most difficult question to ask

Lisa kept blabbering on the phone, but I didn't utter a word for a minute, honestly, I didn't hear whatever she was saying, everything came back to me, everything seems like falling, crushing but as I saw Evy coming out from the bathroom, I saw things back to normal, she smiled at me… Her look was genuine.
