THE WOMAN OF SECRETS : Goodbye
I woke up from the deep slumber, I can smell some coffee near me. The orange light came through the windows gave an introduction to her wet hair. She was sitting there and looking at me-sipping the coffee.
I stood up from the bed and looked at her, she was smiling.
"How long I have been sleeping?" I asked with a little bit of anger for injecting me with some drug and leaving me in this shithole.
"A night and a day" she replied. I took my phone and looked at the time, it's about 6 in the evening.
#Maynia chapter 07 ; Chapter 01, chapter 02, chapter 03, chapter 04 chapter 05 and chapter 06 is here. You can even read it after reading this. You could read that for the depth of the story.
I felt hungry, I don't remember the last time I've eaten something.
"I bought some food for you if you are not that much hungry take a bath before that" She pointed me towards the bathroom.
I have no intention to take a bath before eating something, but I just looked at myself-felt like it's better to take a bath. Maybe it was because she told me to.
"You will find everything you need inside" I felt like a kid when she said this. She was giving me directions about taking each step. I went inside the bathroom. There were a bathing towel and a pair of dress.
That was really helpful, I've been worried about wearing this smelly dress again after the bath.
When the water touched my hair I started feeling a freshness. I took a really good bath for a long time. I dressed up from inside the bathroom. I knew that there was privacy in that room.
When I went out of the bathroom, it was a little darker. My eyes were searching for food. I draw a chair towards the table and started eating that thing she brought. It was pizza, but it tasted differently.
She came to me and offered me a cup of coffee. I took it, it smells great.
After finishing all these basic needs, I was ready to hear some answers from her.
"So what's now?
"Now?? Now you are leaving home. I have finally found a way to get you out of all this mess."
That was good news, but I was not happy. After some minutes of uncomfortable silence, I asked her.
"What about you?"
"Me!! There is nothing about me, I've been born in this mess. This is where my life belongs to."
Now the anger inside me turned into some kind of sympathy towards her. It has been nice if she left with me. I wanted to talk to her about her past and hug her with the love that was inside me from the beginning. But I didn't. There was silence.
"Being in this town, we are not that much safe. There is a train which leaves the station within an hour. You need to get it." She broke the silence with this little speech.
"Where are going after that?
"Nowhere" she replied with a smile.
We packed up everything and get ready. There was a thought of calling her to come with me in my mind. But I felt in some way uncomfortable. We left the house of madness and started walking through the shitty path to reach the main road.
"Could you come with me and have a normal life?" I got some confidence from somewhere.
She was laughing.
"If I came with you there will be no normal life, and I can't come with you. This is my life."
I haven't said anything after that.
We reached the station and hid in the darkness. She insisted that. There will be a train coming any minute now. I looked at her she was looking at the watch thinking about her next plans. Maybe she was acting like that to hide the sorrow inside her.
The train came and the door opened.
"This is where our path diverges." She hugged me.
I have nothing to say to her, I walked towards the train and entered inside it. The trains started moving. I looked towards her.
"She had already vanished into the darkness."
