The Tale of Two worlds : Realms Unveiled - Chapter-: 6
So, you feel like you are now ready for the QNA, girl.” [Atul]
Or so I said to the girl lying in front of me in my bed. It’s already been three days since our last conversation took place, and now the girl’s life is out of danger.
So now comes the tough part, face-to-face interaction with another human being, seriously whose face did I saw yesterday when I woke up first, oh yes.
“Hey why are you glaring at me like that? I have yet to do anything bad for you today.” [Vayu]
Seriously, if not for the reason he is my only family now, I would have …….., I would have done nothing.
“Hey why are you hugging me now? What is happening to you today?” [Vayu]
When I was busy teasing Vayu, the girl in front of me coughed, well she still has not recovered completely. So these should be normal, right?
“Ahem, ahem. I don’t want to interrupt the two of you, but I think we should get back to the ‘QNA’ topic first. I don’t think I will stay awake for long, and while you’re at it, could you please also explain the QNA to me? “[Celia]
But contrary to my expectations, it was just her interrupting my perfect revenge against Vayu, but she is right, she still looks very weak.
Her chakra is recovering and decreasing at a fast rate, she need a lot of rest to recover completely.
“Oh, almost forget about that, so QNA, huh? Well, it’s simple you ask me your doubts and I will answer them and vice versa.” [Atul]
Well, I have to dispel her anxiousness, fear, and confusion first. These could be very bad for her at this time, and the best way to dispel them is to clear her doubt.
“Well, I answered some of you question last time but you still have a lot of them, and I also want to ask you some questions myself. So you want to ask the first question or I go first,” [Atul]
Well, as far as I can guess, her first question will be either about this world or about who am I?
“So, um, how should I ask this?”[Celia]
“Well, first you think what you want to ask, then arrange the words to ask in your mind and lastly move your mouth in such a way that the sentence you arranged in your mind gets pronounced.” [Vayu]
“That’s the normal procedure, but sometimes people don’t follow step 1 and 2 and jump directly to step 3 though.” [Vayu]
Seriously, what is wrong with this owl’s mind? She doesn’t mean it that literally.
“Don’t mind this owl. He has a habit of taking things too literally. You can just say it in a slow, polite voice.” [Atul]
“Like you are any better.” [Celia](in a hushed voice)
“I just want to ask, um, I have a glimpse of memories of someone helping me in, um, helping me in doing number 1 and 2.” [Celia]
“I know already know the answer deep inside My heart but, I still want to ask. Was it you?” [Celia]
Seriously, this girl’s life is on the line. She may survive until tomorrow or not.
And what worry her is if I helped her in pissing and shiting
Seriously, how the hell is she get chosen as a chosen one?
“Well, of course he did. Do you see anyone else in the house?” [Vayu]
Vayu replied to the girl’s question faster than I could, and just when the girl heard his words, tears filled her eyes and she again holed herself inside her castle made of pillows and blankets. Seriously, how did she build it so fast?
“Hey, hey don’t listen to this emergency food. I didn’t even clean the piss and shit of my own children. Why would I clean yours?” [Atul]
Hearing my words, the girl’s eyes shined for a moment, but then again lose its shine as some realisation hit her.
“You are just saying this to console me. Don’t touch me, you hentai.”[Celia]
“Seriously hentai, you know there are far better insults out there.” [Vayu]
Gotta shut this owl’s mouth first, he is just making it all worse.
“Hey Vayu,”[Atul]
“What”[Vayu]
(Smack)
Well, that’s taken care of now for this problem. I mean, didn’t I just saved her life yesterday?
She could at the very least show some trust and respect.
“Girl” (in a pretty loud voice)[Atul]
“What” (in equally loud voice)[Celia]
“Listen to me fully first. I am not saying I didn’t see you naked, or I didn’t touch your body, but I only did it when I was treating your injury. I was doing it to save your life.”[Atul](in a calm voice)
“As for the persons in your memories, they are not me, they are these.”[Atul]
As I said that, 2 puppets like creature enter the room from behind me and stood in front of the girl.
“These are puppets who took care of you for the last three days, not me”[Atul]
“No response, huh?”[Atul]
First she was too weak to talk, then too embarrassed to talk and now too guilty to talk, huh? Was talking to people always this tough?
“Ok, well just go back to sleep now. We will continue this talk next time.”[Atul]
Why do I feel like this had happened already, well whatever.
Saying this, I head back to the kitchen to cook the rest of the food.
Just as I was gonna open the door to leave, a whisper came from behind in a very slow, guilt-filled voice.
“I am, ….. sorry.”[Celia]
“It’s OK.”[Atul]
Yup, it’s OK, it always is.
Celia’s POV
As the old man left the room, I felt a mixture of emotions swirling inside me.
His last words echoed in my mind, leaving me in shock.
“It’s Ok.”[Celia]
I murmured again. I don’t know why, but his last words seemed filled with anger and sadness to me.
When I peeked at his face, at that moment it looked to me like the face of a broken person, who just doesn’t care about other people’s opinion anymore.
“Just why did I have to ask him that question? I am stupid, stupid.”[Celia]
Alone in the quiet room, I shifted beneath the blankets, trying to find a comfortable position.
The old man’s kindness, tempered with a hint of irritation, left me feeling conflicted.
Was I truly deserving of his care? Guilt started eating me from inside as I remembered everything he had done for me.
He protected me from those gorillas. I still remembered him coming back completely covered in blood when I was laying unconscious on the surgery table.
He gave me food, shelter and all that for nothing. He never once tries to do anything to me in these last three days and yet.
Closing my eyes, I tried to push aside the guilt unsuccessfully.
After punching the wall for what was like the third time in the past 15 minutes, I again laid down on the bed with the blanket covering me.
“Seriously, what is happening to me?”[Celia]
With those as my last word I fell asleep, while continuously praying to whatever deity is in lunch break right now to give me the courage to face the old man tomorrow, so I could properly apologise to him tomorrow.
