Surviving in Unknown World

CHAPTER 1 - Where am I?

Aiden's POV

"Hey ugly, can I have another copy of this page?" my editor asked me. Maybe she lost the copy that I gave her. 

I smiled and replied, "Sure thing, little sis," and messed up her hair. She glared at me and walked out. Ayah is my editor. I'm older than her, that's why I call her a little sister, especially when I want to annoy her. 

After giving her the copy of the page that she wants, I went to the nearest coffee shop to get us some breakfast to eat.

Thank God, there are no many people here so, I directly went up to the counter to order one cup of cappuccino and a hot choco for Ayah. 

After minutes of waiting, I was about to open the exit and open the door in the cafeteria. Someone bumped into my back and, I spilled the drinks on the floor. And as usual, thank God, it didn't spill in my shirts.

I heard her being shocked and feel sorry, "Omg! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm in a hurry."

I looked at her, but she nods her head. After a while, she ran as fast as she can, like someone is chasing her. 

I even heard her shouting and saying sorry. I chuckled and went to the counter to buy another drink. I don't mind what happened. Maybe there's something that's really in an emergency. 

Accident happens.

"I'm home! Let's eat breakfast first." I called Ayah for breakfast but, she didn't respond. I think she's annoyed at me for calling her, my little sister. I chuckled.

I went to our little office just like her to check if she's there and there she is! 

When I opened the door, her glaring eyes in already on me. I laughed so hard when I saw her dark eyes staring at me.

I went to her back ang tickled her, "Fine, I'm sorry, I won't call you little again." I said while still tickles her belly.

She's laughing so hard to the point that she can't talk, "stop, oh my God! Aiden!" she shouts while laughing so, I stopped. 

"You always get me with your tickles. I hate you!" She said while pouting.

"I love you too, little sis," I said and ran out of the office and went to the kitchen. 

I heard her shouting angrily, "Aiden! Get back here, you ass!" I laughed at what she said. 

When she gets into the kitchen, I asked her, "What did you call me earlier?" I asked in a dangerous tone of voice. She didn't answer. 

She looks frightened but, I burst out laughing, and she glared at me and hit me with a spoon. 

"You called me ass, huh?" I teased her while grinning and raising my brows. "My little sis is reaching her adolescence, huh?" I saw her blushed and looked away. 

I stopped teasing her and, we started eating. I suddenly remembered the girl that bumped into me in the coffee shop. 

I told her what happened earlier but, she just snobs me. I shrugged and went back to eating. But I can't stop thinking about the girl. I don't think the reason is I want to get money to get my coffee back.

After we ate, she went back to the office, but I went to my room because I want to be alone when I'm writing a novel, and she knows that. 

I don't want to be with anyone because it distracts me. If I saw someone moving or doing something or even just a bit of someone that I heard, I'm starting to get distracted by it and forgot the whole plot that I'm writing.

After hours of writing, I smell something food. My focus went lost. I think Ayah is cooking for our lunch, so I closed my laptop and went up to the kitchen. 

I think she didn't notice me coming. I tiptoed as I walked at the back of her and startled her. 

"Aiden!" She shouts and, I ran around the table so she can't catch me. "Come here, you ugly creature! I'm going to smack your ugly face!" she angrily said but still teasing me with her words. 

"Catch me if you can, my little sis!" As usual, she glared at me after I said those words. She doesn't like it. 

"I hate you, Aiden!" she said. "Ah-ah. I know you don't mean that little creature" I said. She pouts, I chuckled at her reaction. 

I thought she's finished chasing me because she already washed her hand but she just sprinkled the water in my face. I sat and accepting my defeat so she laughed.

When we both get tired, I tasted the dish she made, and it's pretty good. She's very good at cooking.

I teased her, "I think you can get married already." She blushed at what I said and started placing the plates on the table. 

I suddenly thought about something. Do I have a friend or a co-writer that will suit her taste? But, I know she has a high standard for boys. Girls who read books have a high standard for a man, bruh.

While we eat, I burst out asking her, "Hey, do you like someone right now?" She was surprised by my question and, of course, I was shocked by myself either so, I panicked a little and talked again, "oh, no, I mean, you don't need to answer the question if you don't want to, so yeah." she just nods and continues her food.

We remained silent until we finished our food. The atmosphere became heavy maybe because of what I've asked about her.

I don't know why did I ask that either. I'm not so numb to not feel that she has a little something that feels about me. I don't want to assume but she keeps giving me an idea.

I washed the plates after we ate because that was our routine. If Ayah is the one who cooks, I'm the one who's going to clean and wash the plates and utensils that she used after cooking.

I continued my novels in my room and, after hours of thinking and writing some drafts, I looked at my phone, and it's already evening.

I went outside to check Ayah and saw her sleeping on her the table. I cooked dinner for her and left a note, and went back to my room to sleep. 

I want to continue writing a novel but, I can't focus. It feels like I need to do something. After minutes of trying and doing drafts for my story, I feel like something is poking my head, and it hurts so bad. 

It worsens every time that I tried to calm myself down. I tried leaving my bed so I can call Ayah for help, but nothing happened. I just felt my head banged in the backrest of my bed, and everything went black. 

I woke up and, I thought it was just a dream because my head still hurts. I was thinking of doing some exercise later. Oh and, off for my job and see a doctor and go for a checkup. Maybe this is because of too much radiation exposure. 

When I was about to get up, my head got banged on the roof. I got confused. "When the hell did I became too high? Did my height got increased?" I looked everywhere and, my jaw dropped at what I saw.

I'm in a truck but, when did I buy a truck for myself, or maybe this is Ayah's truck? No, Ahya owns a car. Who owns this? 

I'm trying to remember but, I keep making myself stressed. I went outside and just got shocked again at this unfamiliar place.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked myself out of words.

Ayah's POV

I'm almost a minute knocking at Aiden's door, but he's not responding. He doesn't want to be late waking up, so I'm confused why he's not responding. 

He's the one who wakes up first. What the hell?

I want to enter his room, but he strictly said that he doesn't want anyone going inside his room. And I don't want to be rude.

"Five minutes, when he didn't open the door, I'll enter his room,"

I said and waited.

But five minutes have passed he didn't go out of his room even if I called him many times! 

I opened his door and saw him lying in his bed. I slowly walked. I don't wake him up, and I sat in his bed. I stared at his handsome face. 

"How can you be so annoying and handsome at the same time, baby?" I asked him. I know he won't answer me because he's sleeping.

"And how the hell can't you notice that I'm so in love with you for a long time?" I sighed. He's so numb and dumb. Oh my God! "You're getting into my nerves, baby. You're so annoying but, I still love you tho." 

After watching him, I tried to wake him up. I don't care if he's going to be mad at me for entering his room. Get mad at my ass and to your annoying but handsome face, Aiden! I rolled my eyes.

"Aiden, wake up." I poked his cheeks. Omg, they're so soft. 

What the hell?! Ayah! Stop it! You look so obsessed with him even though you're not! Well, Uhm, a little.

I have tried tickling him but, he's not responding. I checked if he's still breathing, and I can see his chest moving. But I still panicked because this isn't normal for him. I even tried moving his arms and slapping his face but he's still not responding.

I hurriedly get my phone and call my private doctor for him. 

After half an hour of waiting, the doctor came and check if he's okay.

I asked the doctor what happened to Aiden. "He lost his consciousness while sleeping. Just wait for him to wake up. He's fine, Ayah. Don't worry" he smiled then left the house.

I prepared a towel and warm water so I could clean his face.

"You're working too much, Aiden. I'm worried. Please, be okay." I sighed and leave his room.

I called my friend Cassie to be with me. I'm afraid something might happen, and I might just panicked and do nothing. 

I decided to cook while waiting for Cassie and so that Aiden can eat when he wakes up. 

An hour later, Cassie arrived. She's my best friend. She's the only one who knows what I feel about Aiden. 

Aiden. Aiden who treats me like his little sister. Psh! 

I told Cassie what happened to Aiden, and I'm scared to be alone, that's why I called her.

I fell asleep waiting for Aiden. I saw Cassie cleaning the house.

I was overthinking what happened to Aiden. He works that much, that's why he's tired, and he needs sleep now.

I went to the office and tried to focus on checking his work. I don't want to be too stressed thinking about him. I know that he's going to be alright.

After hours of doing some works in the office, I looked at the clock and saw that it's already evening so I went to his room. 

Aiden is still asleep. What the hell is happening to him? Do I really need to wait for hours and hours? Is this still normal or do I need to call the doctor again?

I'm so worried about him. I called the doctor again and after a while, he came back. 

"I'm sorry if I have to call you again. I just wanted to make sure if is this normal? He hasn't woke up since this morning. I wondered what's happening about him." I said looks a bit panicked.

"I don't know what's happening to him either. I already checked him and there's nothing wrong with his health." He said a bit confused.

I started to get irritated is this even a real doctor?

Days have passed and they started monitoring him. Aiden is in 5 days comma. But they still don't know what happened to him.
