Several days passed, and by this time, Richard had woken up from his period of unconsciousness, yes seemingly following Alexa, a woman who took care of him while he was in his sick state, who was also the daughter of the healer who helped him in the healing process."So, what is it?" Richard pointed at a clamshell that the woman was cleaning and decorating.Alexa's hand held the sizable shell and showed it to him. "This is a clam shell. Haven't you ever seen one?" she looked at Richard's face with a puzzled frown. "Didn't you ever know?"Richard stared dazedly, then shook his head. "I'm not sure. But it looks pretty." he took it from Alexa's hand with a smile.Alexa looked at him with a question in her mind. She wondered if it was possible for someone to not recognize something at all. Even though Richard was awake at the moment, she was still worried about Richard's condition. The man seemed so healthy and fine he had been able to interact normally, but there were many things he didn
Alexa welcomed her father who had just returned from visiting one of the sick villagers. That day her father returned quite late in the afternoon after he and Richard had done a lot of work together and even prepared dinner for the three of them.After helping Alexa Richard was seen sitting at the simple dining table chair, in the room with the healer who helped to heal her. They seemed to be talking, discussing small matters about the village and what they were doing."So how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" the healer and the man who was Alexa's father, a man named Sam, looked at him kindly.Richard nodded his head, responding quite calmly while arranging the cutlery on the table. "Yes, I feel better.""Does it still hurt quite a bit when you try to remember things?" she reassured.Richard nodded his head, he did feel a throbbing pain in his head when he tried to remember things. When he remembered why he was there and why he couldn't remember about himself at all or when h
"They really went too far." Richard still couldn't accept what he had just found out. "How could they kill a deer and then cook it."Alexa still laughed as she waited for the lyrics and took his hand. "You just ate it too and said you liked it." She turned her gaze elsewhere.Richard looked at Alexa unacceptably. "That was before I found out that what I was eating was a deer!"Alexa rolled her eyes in disgust. "Still, that doesn't change the fact that you liked it for a while; you obviously know why they cook it. Of course, because it tastes good."After hearing that fact, she fell silent in annoyance and couldn't say anything. It was like she had been slapped with a fact, and now she could no longer deny it.Alexa stopped in the middle of her quick stride in the bustling crowd. She then looked at Richard, realizing that he was being trodden down by the matter of the deer he had just accidentally eaten. "Oh, never mind. So what you just ate wasn't an animal that was on the verge of ex
"What did you do to her? Are you bothering her?" Alexa shouted angrily at the man named Baron.Barang opened his eyes wide and shook his head quickly. He looked unacceptable, and Alexa blamed him. "I'm bothering him? Come on, he's bothering me!" the man replied snarkily.While Alexa snorted at him. "There's no way Jacob did that. He's not someone like you."Baron's face scrunched at Alexa's answer. He walked a little closer and stared at the woman's face. "What do you mean by someone like me?" the sentence pointed out to him offended him somewhat."People who like to cause trouble!" Alexa loudly explained without hesitation."Alexa!" The Baron was flabbergasted by her answer. Then he gave Richard an unhappy look and pointed at him. "You're defending someone like him over me? Are you serious? This guy is a loser! How could you?" He was at a loss for words in response to Alexa's rudeness.Alexa then pushed Baron's shoulder hard to get away. She did not accept the Baron's words that insu
"Oh my! Jacob, you did it perfectly." Alexa praised Richard enthusiastically, not expecting Richard to be so good at this kind of thing.She saw and observed clearly how Richard calculated his shot and then swung his hand with a movement that was so fast but seemed controlled and so good when he was aiming.Alexa laughed so happily. She stamped her feet with small steps while holding Richard's arm. Her face looked enthusiastic and proud."You did well!" She patted Richard's arm lightly, looking up at him with eyes that opened wide and sparkled. "Well done! You're a winner. You beat him."Richard smiled proudly as Alexa continued to praise him. He felt happy seeing Alexa so happy that she had won the game.Richard ignored the Baron's eyes, which were looking sarcastically at him. He then approached Alexa by leaning to the side. "So, what do we get if we win?"Reason stared while listening to his question. "Wait a minute, let me ask him." then she turned her gaze to the man manning the
The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho
Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing
