Cecilia

Aji was stunned when he was on the balcony of the patient's room. He was still trying to understand what had just happened to him. But it wasn't until he understood what had just happened that the woman who had called him told him to go inside.

"Come in, the security guards can arrest you if they see you out there," the woman now said. And the woman's voice, exactly the same as the voice that echoed called Aji's name. 

Aji immediately crawled into the room. When he walked into the room, Aji felt a coolness that Aji had never felt before. Aji also felt the fragrance in his nasal cavity. Aji looked around. The room with an area of 6x6 square meters looks so clean and tidy. Aji, who had never seen such a neat and clean room, became so amazed.

"This place, it's great. Is this like a rich patient room? Even better than Mr. Erman's house," Aji said while paying attention to what was in the room. To the extent that he forgot if anyone was in the room. Aji only realized, when the woman asked the name that Aji had mentioned.

"Mr. Erman's house? Who is Mr. Erman?" the woman asked because she overheard Aji say a name.

Aji immediately turned to look at the woman with his face down. From the age of 5 until now at the age of 15. Aji's life is just being a slave. So when he knows there are people who are higher than him, Aji will spontaneously humble himself.

"He was my employer 5 years ago. He's the richest man in district 61," Aji replied without daring to look directly at the face of the woman in front of him.

"Are you working with him?" 

"No. I am his slave. He bought me when I was 5 years old." 

"Slave?" 

"Yes. Do you feel uncomfortable with my status? I can leave if you ask for it," Aji said.

The woman smiled warmly.

"Why should I be uncomfortable with your presence. We are reborn with our own new life. There is nothing to worry about. In fact, I feel very happy. Because after thousands of years we separated. We can finally meet again." 

Aji's eyes widened at the woman's statement.

"Meet again? What do you mean?" 

"Don't you remember it?" 

Aji was speechless. He thought hard to remember something he didn't remember at all. 

"Ah, maybe it's not right for me to say that you don't remember it. But you haven't taken it back yet. Because if you've remembered everything, I'm sure you'll be sitting next to me like you used to. And not bow that kind of face." 

Aji really didn't know what the woman said. And what's more, he didn't know who the woman in front of him was. 

"Who are you, this really is?" 

The woman got out of bed. She was about to introduce herself gracefully like a noble princess. But just now the woman stood up to introduce herself. His body lost his balance and made him almost fall forward. But fortunately, Aji quickly supported the woman's body.

"This body is really weak. I'm sorry," the woman said as she tried to stand up again.

Aji couldn't say much. Because he was too fixated on the charm of that woman. Her exquisite face, her delicate skin and her body fragrance are so fragrant. made Aji so amazed that his heart beat faster.

"If your body is very weak, don't force it to get out of bed," Aji said as he helped the woman sit on her bed again. 

"It's okay. As long as there is you, I am not afraid of falling. Because you will always support me and help me to get back on my feet," the woman said with a sweet smile.

Aji's face blushed with shame at the woman's words. Her face flushed like a freshly ripe tomato. Aji also felt his heart beating faster than before. It was as if his heart was about to explode and let out all the contents. 

"Actually introducing yourself to a familiar person, sounds quite strange. But because you can't remember everything yet. Then will I introduce who I am. My name, Cecilia. I am the goddess of light from the southern temple," the woman said introducing herself.

Aji's forehead frowned in surprise.

"Goddess?" said Aji. 

Cecilia nodded.

"Does this sound strange to you to listen to?" asked Cecilia.

Aji didn't know what to answer like. Think in short, this is just Cecilia's imagination. Because Cecilia comes from a wealthy family and has a charming face. So she considers herself a goddess. 

"No-no. I-it's good for you," said Aji. 

Cecilia smiled. 

"Have you eaten?" asked Cecilia suddenly. 

Aji opened his mouth. He wanted to answer "yes". However, he didn't have the courage to say it. But Cecilia understood. Only by seeing how Aji's condition is, he can know what Aji is feeling at this moment. So he offered something to Aji.

"I just got the lunch ration. I haven't eaten it yet. Do you want it?" asked Cecilia, pointing out a package of food lying on a nightstand beside the bed.

Aji was silent. His eyes glanced in the direction of the food Cecilia was pointing at. His mouth suddenly became wet with saliva when he saw the food. In his heart, Aji wanted to eat it. But Aji hesitated to say he wanted to.

Seeing the doubt on Aji's face. Cecilia made a new offer. 

"What if one leaf of the kalpataru tree outside is exchanged for this meal of mine?" 

Aji was stunned. "What do you mean?" 

"You must have a hard time taking my food for granted, right? So how about we just swap? My lunch, I exchanged for one kalpataru," explained Cecilia. 

The offer was really good. But climbing trees, especially those up to two stories high, is not his forte. 

"Isn't there any other offer? I'm really stupid to climb trees."

"You can. Just believe in your abilities. If you can't, there's no way you can get to this room!" said Cecilia with a sweet smile.

Aji doubted. But for the sake of delicious food and for the sake of his starving stomach, Aji was willing to try. 

Aji headed for the balcony. Then stretched out his hand to grab a leaf over there. But the distance between the fingertips and the kalpataru leaf closest to him is quite far. There is a distance range of about 1 meter.

"Jump like you did earlier!" said Cecilia. 

"I-it's obviously impossible. That one was just a coincidence!" said Aji 

"Trust me, jump!" said Cecilia again.

I don't know why, hearing Cecilia give an order, there was a turmoil in Aji's heart to obey the order. It was the same feeling as when he ignored the voice that echoed his name when outside the hospital earlier.  

With such confidence that somehow belief can exist. Aji climbed to the top of the balcony railing. Then he took a stake and jumped up. However, unfortunately his jump could not be as far as when his body moved on its own. So at that moment, Aji fell hard down. 

Cecilia was very surprised to see the incident. She got out of bed and crept towards the balcony to see how Aji was doing. 

"Are you okay?" asked Cecilia from above. 

Aji is surprisingly fine. For some reason, Aji felt that his body didn't feel any pain at all when his body hit the ground. Even though he fell quite hard and high.

"I don't know what really happened. But I'm fine. It's a strange miracle," Aji said and then observed his own body.

Aji was really surprised when he saw that his body was okay. In fact, he was also surprised when he saw that the injuries he got from the thugs who beat him were gone. 

"It's so strange! Actually, what has happened to me?!" muttered Aji in astonishment. 

"Hurry up! Before any officer sees you!" shouted Cecilia who instantly awakened Aji from the reverie.

Aji hurried to climb the tree. And strangely, this time he could actually climb very easily. As if, his body was very accustomed to climbing. 

Aji laughed in disbelief when he saw himself who became so good at climbing. 

"What the hell?! I can actually climb this tree?" 

Curious about his new ability. Aji tried to jump from the branch to the balcony. And in this second try, Aji managed to do it. 

"I-I did it! I can really do it!" said Aji happily. Even because he was too happy, Aji forgot that Cecilia was still lying on the balcony floor. 

"Now, can you help me?" said Cecilia. 

Aji, who just noticed that Cecilia was lying on the balcony, immediately picked him up and put him back on the bed.

"W-did you see it just now? I can climb and jump far!" said Aji passionately. 

Cecilia smiled. 

"Yes. I saw it. But, where's my leaf?" asked Cecilia.

Aji just remembered that. So Aji jumped back into the tree and took one of the best leaves from the kalpataru tree. 

"This is your leaf. If you don't like the leaves, just say it. I'll get some better leaves for you," Aji said a little arrogantly.

Cecilia smiled. 

"It's not necessary. Whatever leaves you take and give to me, will be the best leaves for me," Cecilia said. 

Aji felt very happy and flattered. But between those feelings, there was a nagging feeling in his heart.

"Exactly, who are you?"
