Both Emma and Shalom became startled when they heard what James said. “Sleep at his place?!” The two of them seated in the back seat couldn’t help but exchange gazes, then Emma instantly saw the deep unwillingness on Fiona's face, while Fiona saw the thick excitement written and painted all over Emma's face. “Hum... is that good?” Fiona breathed in silently and directly ignored the strong excitement all over Emma's face, questioning James uncertainly. “Yes, yes, it is, please.” A thick frown instantly appeared on Fiona's face when she felt the pleading aura radiating from James' body. Finally, she made up her mind. “James,” she suddenly called gently, making James turn around. “Is something the matter?!” Fiona who has no choice finally decided to ask gently, then James' thought for a bit before he eventually decided to brief them a bit since he would be needing their help anyways. “Actually, actually, I just received a piece of really ba
‘Could these people that have lost their minds still have time for that?!’ James thought to himself Helplessly, then he finally walked over to Fiona and shake her gently to wake her up. “Hun… hun?!” Startled awake by this shake, as James intended, Fiona started gazing around, looking completely lost, then she saw James and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.Seeing this, James nodded his head gently, then he walked over to Emma, the one who was mostly out of it.At first, James shook her gently, but as time passed, when he realized that she wouldn't regain herself, he proceeded to shake her widely.But unfortunately, no matter how much he shoot her, Emma wouldn't wake up. She completely lost that if one doesn't know better, one would have been scared to the core.As if her mind has flown out of her body, she continued exclaiming at everything she sees. The sky, the beautiful road, the floating villas, and all.In no time, James became helple
According to the stories told by James' Aunty, his parent had died when he was 1.5 years old, so he had not even a single memory of them. It was his Aunty and her husband who took care of him as if he was their child since he was a toddler till he left the village. They gave him everything a child could ever ask for without feeling stingy at all. It was only these two and their son, Ronald that stood by him all through, loving him with everything they have. As for the rest of the family, they hated and abhors him to the bone. In fact, they hated and despised James more than anything could ever be. They had never spoken normal words to him before. Every time they had something to say to him, it was always through curses and bullies. Also, he had never heard them call him by his name before, other than bastard. Well… before he knew the truth, James was always hurt and filled to the brim with miseries because of this, but after he knew the truth
James’ face became blank for a moment, then he abruptly scratch his head again in embarrassment. “I’m… I'm sorry for that.”“It's nothing, just don’t address me like a stranger and an elderly person, okay?”James' gaze stayed on her face for a while when he heard her, then he eventually nodded his head gently.“Okay, Fiona.”Hearing this, a huge smile boomed on Fiona's face. “That's good.” She paused for a few seconds before finally returning to normal.“So… are you going already?!”James also paused when he heard this, the expression on his face changing slightly, then he sighed suddenly, looking slightly lost in the space. “Yes, Fiona. The issue at home is very urgent.”"Oh..." Fiona nodded her head softly, then the gaze she was giving James became pitiful.‘Nothing indeed comes for free, everything has its responsibility.’Just as she was about to wish James a safe trip and that he should be careful, she saw an awkward
“Hehehehe,” Someone in front of the pleading woman suddenly gaggled mockingly. “You don’t want us to demolish this dilapidated building, you say?!”“Yes… yes, please don’t demolish it,” the woman pleaded tearfully, but the man before her with a budging stomach as if there was a huge drum of water in it only continued smiling playfully.“Then I dare you to stop us, hahaha”“Hahaha…”“See, this poor woman wants to stop us!!”Everyone behind the middle-aged man began to cackle at the woman with strong sarcasm.Suddenly, a furious roar entered everybody’s ears. “HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MY MOTHER YOU BASTARDS?! HOW DARE YOU?!!”Without being told, everyone that heard the voice immediately realized how furious the owner of the voice is, but alas.The moment everybody heard this, some of them became filled with pity for the owner of the voice.‘He's done for today.’‘Aish… he shouldn’t have said anything!’As for the woman, she suddenly trembled with fear, then she screa
Even before Jimoh completed his words, Ronald’s mother already fell to her knees and started crying buckets.“PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!"Of cause, she would plead because she and everybody in the village knew this devil's reputation.“Mother, please don’t kneel for this beast!”Ronald couldn’t help but rush over to her mother and try his best to lift her, but no matter how much he tried, his mother wouldn’t bulge and she even kept pushing his hands off her, as if telling him to leave her alone.Poor her.Jimoh wasn’t furious at all when he heard Ronald calling him a beast, in fact, he loved it like that.“You heard that, right? I’m a beast, so let me act as one!”Finished saying this, Jimoh glanced at the dude who couldn’t wait to tear Ronald apart and nodded once at him.This was what the dude had been waiting for because the moment he saw it, a wide grin that looked demonic covered his face.As for Ronald’s mother.Knowing that there was nothing else s
"What a pitiful family!!!”“Yes, it is so pitiful…we could only pray now that the little boy would not become bedridden for the rest of his life after this !”“Sigh… will a day ever come when our village will become free from this demon?!”“I’m sure the day would definitely come!!”These are the things James has been hearing since he set his feet into the village.Without being need to be told, James realized the moment he saw the situation and felt the atmospheric condition within the Village that it was being terrorized.He began to boil furiously within himself, but he controlled himself as much as he could.He could still remember clearly how lively everywhere was before he left four years ago, but now, it looked utterly dark and mournful. James continued walking through the village whose several houses were already razed to the ground.As for the people he passes by, they didn’t even have the time to notice him, the foreigner as they were too engrossed in their miseries
Upon entering, James realized that nothing much has changed, that everything, or most of the things remained as they used to be.Everywhere is still spotlessly clean as was in his brain. But right now, this wasn’t what was on his mind.Nervously, he continued trotting three steps behind his Aunt Sally.As for Sally, she and her husband doesn’t stop at all rather, they took James further inside the house, toward the room that used to belong to both him and their son.Although James was walking behind the husband and wife, he immediately felt the thick mournful, and sad emotion that suddenly descended upon them. Dragging her husband behind her, Aunty Sally suddenly stopped for two seconds by the door before slowly and tremblingly, she pushed the door open.After that, not looking back at all, she dragged her husband inside while James followed.The first thing that James noticed upon entering the room was the thick medicinal and herbal smell that permeated and rushed into
