Chapter 55: Paranoid
“Darling, what’s up? Why aren’t you speaking?”
My father’s voice traveled through my ears, pulled back from my paranoid world.
“Um, Dad. No, I was distracted.” I replied, shaking my head a bit even though I knew he couldn’t see .
“Where are you now?”
“I am on my way to go to campus. Where is mom?”
“She is with the neighbors. You know them.” I could see my father shrugged his shoulders and smile crept up on my lips.
“It’s good she blends with the neighbors quickly.” I said.
.....
“Yeah. So what is it that made you calling ? Do you need more money?” He asked.
I awkwardly laughed when he asked that. It seed like I did that a lot; calling them only to ask for my monthly money.
“No, I still have so with , probably will be enough until next month.” I said. “I’m calling you for sothing different.”
“...Is it regarding your ability?”
How does he know? I was stunned.
“Sweetheart, ever since the last ti you called and asked about it, I’ve been having this feeling, telling that you must have started seeing things. After all, the seal could only contain your ability until you were 17 years old. It’s been months now, so I am not surprised if you tell you’ve been seeing things now. Am I right?”
“...” Dad, you are right.
“Actually, considering your age now, there are two options for you to do. First, to completely seal it. Second, to completely embrace your ability. Each of it has its own perks and it’s your choice that will be used. It’s your body, after all.” My father said again, ignoring my silence or maybe taking it as yes.
There. I had my answer and my options. My seal had weakened after I reached seventeen, which was why I could only see them after I entered university. And I could choose to completely seal it, or to completely unblock it.
“Will I be okay if I want to unseal it?” I asked.
“It’s okay. It might seem strange and a bit scary for you at first, but it will get better. Trust . I’ve told you before that being able to see them is better than not able to see them, right?”
I rembered he did say sothing like that.
“Well, I’m coming back ho for New Year’s holiday. I’ll make up my mind before that.” I told him.
“Sure. But if they are planning to do sothing bad to you, just rember not to be afraid. You are stronger than you thought, Darling.”
I had the urge to laugh when he said it. Should I tell him that I fainted after my first ti seeing a real form of Kuntilanak?
“I’ll make sure to rember that.” Instead, I told him that.
After exchanging so other small talks with him, and talked a bit with my mother who had just returned, I hang up. Just in ti, I reached my faculty.
Closing my umbrella, I stepped deeper into the building. After putting my umbrella near the entrance, I walked to the appointed room for my upcoming lecture. Maybe it was because of the rain, the faculty that was usually crowded now seed a bit gloomy and creepy, with quiet halls and rooms. Only several students were seen so far -this ti I made sure I heard their footsteps -but I felt better.
After I reached the room, I saw no one was inside. So, I turned back and sat on a nearby bench. I took my headset and plugged it on my phone. In a while, my favourite songs could be heard from it. This silence was truly suffocating , so listening to music was the only way to ignore the horrifying feeling that might co.
Even so, I would unconsciously take a peek towards the door, fearing that sothing scary might appear. Or, towards the hall. Even in the corner of the ceiling.
Silly , being afraid for no reason.
Huffing slightly, I tried to calm myself and to think of sothing more joyful. Like, thinking about Tom.
Now that I thought about him, the mory of the night before flashed in my mind. I could barely notice the blush in my cheeks.
I was so deep in reminiscing about our night when my line of sight caught a glimpse of familiar figure floating towards down the hall. Staring at the familiar face, I arched my eyebrows.
Kunti?
What is she doing here? It’s the first ti she ca to et here.
Turning off the music without pulling out the headset, I asked her as soon as she ca closer.
“What are you doing here?” I asked in a low voice.
Kunti grinned playfully. “I went to your room but Tom said you’re here. So I ca here. By the way, I saw the blush!” She teased .
I put my hands on my face and realized I was burning up with embarrassnt.
“You must be thinking about that night, right?” She added.
“S-shut up!” I hastily scolded her.
Kunti laughed happily. “How was it? Did it feel good? Judging from how you scread for more that night, it must feel good. Is he big?” Peered into my eyes, she floated happily, hovering all over excitedly.
“Pervert. Why do you want to know?” I gritted my teeth.
“Hm, should I find my own human?” Ignoring my question, Kunti started to think about sothing else.
“Yes, then you can fuck him silly...” I said quickly.
