Chapter 3: Chapter 3
In midst of curiosity, she fell asleep. The surrounding was very silent and the night was very cold. Her neck was carelessly uncovered, forgot to coiled back the fabric. Presently, there was a sound of a small thing that was being hit into the front door. Because of that thing she suddenly woke up. She sits on the bed and takes a look straight in the door. She feels worried and a little bit afraid. There were two options in her mind that she needs to pick up. One, she will go back to sleep or two, she will find out what it is. But because she feels so interested in that thing she stands up then slowly walks towards the door to avoid noise.
While slowly holding the knob and had attempted to open it she noticed that she was not wearing anything on her neck so she suddenly goes back to her bed and took the fabric then coiled it on her neck.
Facing at the front of the door seems scary for her for she doesn't know what is behind this door. ' I need to do this or not?', the words that we're saying in her mind while her eyes are closed. She took a deep sigh then begin to open the door. The door creaked and heard the soft sound of the breeze. The moon shines brightly and as well as the stars.
She takes a look at the surroundings but no one was around. She suddenly saw a rolled paper which was being tied up into a small rock. She realized that this was the thing that had made a sound lately. She took this rolled paper with the rock being tied up in it and give attention again to the surrounding hoping that there was someone there but there was none.
In this case, she closed the door and goes to her bed again, and took a seat. Her eyes were attached to the thing that she has got in her right hand.
She unties this paper and slowly unrolls this. The wonder suddenly knocks at her veins.
'MEET US'
These are the two words that were written on that paper.
"Does they know me? Who are they?"
She curiously speaks out these words with a small voice, enough for her to hear her own words. Her eyebrows were almost contiguous into each other. Eyes were getting smaller. She lay herself down on the bed while holding the paper very tight.
This was the very first time that she had received such a message. How come that there was someone who wants to meet Fontana? She wondered why and who was behind this but there was no one appearing inside her mind. She doesn't know someone else except for Mrs. Ramirez and his son and the face of her manager at work.
After a minute of thinking, she felt the tiredness of her mind and leads to a headache. She holds her head by her left hand to massage it carefully. She decided to just go back to sleep to escaped this mystery night again and she has work to do in the morrow as usual. She thinks that this paper and the words written in it were not a big deal for her and have no use so she just dropped the paper somewhere. She closed her eyes and deep sleep follows.
Early morning again started. She eats noodles just like yesterday and took a bath then wears clothes same as yesterday also. Walks towards the door then stopped and sighed before opening it. Took one step outside while closing the door. She gets money from the pocket of her jeans, enough for her to pay her monthly rent of the apartment. She walks towards the house beside her apartment on the left side then stopped in front of its door.
This was the house of Mrs. Ramirez and right now she doesn't know if there was someone in there. She starts to knock on the door. After three times of knocking no one opened the door for her. Her hopes started to fade and put back the money in the pocket. 'Maybe Shan does leave Cantanna', her mind seems speaking on its own. She attempts to just leave the concern of whom to pay behind and just go to her work. But as she starts to turn at her back the door suddenly opens and somebody just holds her strongly on her shoulders then dragged her in. The door made a loud sound when somebody forcibly closed it.
The inside of the house was very dark. Fontana cannot see anything.
Someone's right arm was being wrapped at her shoulders preventing her from slipping away. Her heart beats fast. She could barely feel and hear the way this person breaths for it was way too close to the left side of her neck.
"Who are you?"
She said in a little bit of nervousness.
She waits within a few seconds until this person answers her.
"I didn't mean to kill her."
The voice was obviously in deep tension.
As she heard the voice she already knows who was this person. She felt sad and afraid. She doesn't know what to say.
"Look... I can't leave behind all the things that I've done with my mother. The guiltiness is within my mind and heart, and it is drowning me."
His voice starts to cracked, seems like he can now cry.
Fontana opened her mouth and tries to speak calmly.
"Shan... Shan, I know that it was not your desire to kill your mother. You cannot blame yourself for that. And...and I know that she knows. Shan, no one wanted to made that happened it was just an accident."
"Accident? I eat her flesh! And you call that accident?"
His voice was loud and scary right now.
"Shan... Calm down, okay? Please calm down."
She feels that Shan lean his forehead at the back of her head.
"You're scared of me? You know I'll never hurt you."
Fontana stopped and felt uncomfortable.
"No, no. I am not."
Just forcing herself to say it.
"Really?"
"Yes."
While nodding her head.
"I love you..."
She felt more uncomfortable about the words that he just spoke. These words were new on her ears. She cannot believe that Shan just spelled those three words. She felt ashamed and undeserved and made herself think that Shan just said those words because of his worries.
"Shan let me go. I have to work right now. Please, let go of me and anything is gonna be okay. Don't blame yourself for that."
She tries to get off the arm from her but Shan still wrapped her tightly.
"Do you feel it too?"
"What do you mean?"
This was the very first time that this man had a chance to hold her and the very first time that he has a conversation with her.
"Do you love me?"
Fontana was shocked and felt angry.
"Shan listen, I don't know what just appeared in your head but please let me go. I have to work, and you know? You're doing wrong! You must not fell in love with somebody or even me. Love is forbidden! You must consider that this world is horrible. All is a game and we must be serious for that."
After she said those words Shan remain silent for a few seconds then he slowly let go of Fontana. Fontana attempts to take a one step forward from him but she stopped when he spoke.
"Can you hug me for the very first and last time? And I promised that I'll not disturb you anymore."
She felt the mercy for him. She cannot make herself say no unto him. As she thinks right now, his favor was not that difficult for her to do.
Without any hesitations, she immediately hugged him tight within five seconds and get off from his hug.
"Thank you."
Shan whispered but she heard him say this.
She gets the money from the pocket and tried to give it to Shan.
"No need to pay for the apartment. You can own it from now on."
"But-"
"Please hear me. No need to pay for it."
His voice was begging.
Fontana just tried understanding him and accept what he said.
Shan opened the door and she walks out of his house. Fontana just continues walking towards the road without looking back at Shan while he keeps looking at her until Fontana got on the bus and until her presence was gone.
Shan sadly closed the door.
He admired Fontana secretly for a very long time and until now. And this was his first confession of his feelings but it was a failure. But he understands, he always does.
At the running bus, she still can't imagine how unexpected this day was. She never expected that Shan would say that.
'Shan, it's a big mistake. It's a big mistake.'
As she keeps saying inside her mind.
Lean her head at the back corner then she closed her eyes. She feels the air breeze and she was enjoying it and this leads her to unintentionally falling asleep. After an hour bygone, the bus stopped her at Eyring Company.
At her workplace, she was focused on typing, clicking, and reading silently and carefully on the computer. When she suddenly remembered the woman yesterday she looks in the direction of her but it was vacant. It was her fault why that woman was not present.
She slowly sighed. Fontana knows that she resigned. It was not new for them that someone was resigning or missing of a sudden so no one would attempt to ask if where they are or what are the reasons for it.
The sun starts to fall in the west. The color of the sky was orange with a little combination of blue at the east and the color of the sun was yellowish at the center while the rim was red. Right now she wants to walk the distance from Haler to Cantanna. She wants to meditate.
When she feels that she wanted to meditate she takes the long distance from the City of Haler to her destination which was the place of Cantanna. The surroundings were getting swallowed by the dark. The moon and stars shine brightly just like yesterday's night. The air smoothly touches the skin of her face and her hands. She closes her eyes to feel the sweet kisses of the breeze of the air.
While thinking, interesting questions appeared in her mind.
'What happened to my parents? Do they love me? Where are they?'
She really cannot forget her parents. Until now she's still wondering if were and what happened to them, and if they intentionally abandoned her, and if it was or not then what was the reason? Her mind was getting seriously confused.
She continuously walks without the feeling of tiredness. After almost two hours, Fontana finally reached her destination. Looking at the front of the door and holds the knob slowly. She never locked the door every time she goes out of her home because she firmly believes that no one would attempt to get inside there
She opened the door and took a step inside then made sure that it was locked. Walks straight to her bed and lays herself down. Right now, she felt tired. Closes her eyes to begin to sleep.
After just how many minutes later, a little thing that just like being thrown at the front door made a sound that was enough for her to disturbed her sleep. She scrubs carefully her eyes before fully opening. She looks at the front door. She felt and think that this was not just a joke for this was the second time that it happened. She took a sit in her bed then stand up. The paper that she just threw catches her attention. This could be still the same as yesterday? Well, who knows if someone was just playing around with her.
