“I'm going crazy...” I mumbled, stunned because of hallucinations, is it really just hallucinations?
I shake my head, no way that there's a talking cat in front of me, just no way. I am really going crazy.
The cat tilted it's head, “Are you ignoring me, human?”
I laugh, “oh, look. It spoke again, am i really that tired?” I look crazy, a talking cat? And, wow. I'm talking to my self too! Isn't this great but crazy?
Let me just, take my slippers and go home. Walking forward nonchalantly to take my slippers.
Trying to calm my self by reassuring myself that it's only a hallucination.
“What kind are you? This is not the normal reaction i usually get from humans.”
Ow, it also comparing me to other people now. What a joke, maybe this kind of event is happening to my life because I've been comparing my self to others.
I bend my body to get my slippers that been lying on the slightly wet grasses.
“Hm, human. I've decided.”
I get a glimpse of the cat's fur, it's black. And it's shining too. No, no.
Shaking my head to wash off the unnecessary thoughts inside my head, i finally get a chance to took my slippers and put it on.
The cat is still looking at me, I think. I just felt it's unwavering and overbearing stares that can bore a hole through my head.
Maybe i should hurry up and go home, that's right. The sun will also set soon. I stand up straight without looking at the cat.
Taking a move backwards, like escaping from something. I slowly move my feet and made up my thoughts to go back home.
“Take me.”
I stopped from my track, this can't be. That cat is asking me to take him/her,
No! I can't, does my conscience is eating me up? wanting me to take this cat home?
I can't do that!
My brother is going to kill me, he's allergic to cat's fur. Making him sneeze every minutes when a cat is near him.
I shake my head, again. Move my feet to walk away.
“Didn't you heard me human? I said, take me with you!”
I move faster, i swiftly look around and my eyes look where the way i've gone to earlier.
My memories is great, making me remember that the tall bushes is the sign to where i came from.
I swiftly moved my body to a running position and fastly run to the way back home.
“Hey! Take me!”
I heard the fading voice of the cat, i didn't look back. To scared to accept the reality that what if the cat is truly speaking?
I run and run, until i saw the white big house of my grandmother. I didn't slow down, i just run and run ‘til I managed to get in front of the house.
I'm sweating and out of breath, i put my arms on top of my knees to support my weight.
“Oh, maldita. There you are!”
I looked up and saw my brother who just got out of the house, behind him is the slightly open door,
“No, i'm not here. This is just my shadow.”
I philosophy answered him, making him rolled his eyes. I stand up straight and walked to get inside the house, i passed by my brother who's still observing me
“Where did you go? Mother is worried.”
My movement stopped in the middle of opening the door, i smiled bitterly,
“Mother is worried? I doubt that.”
I left my brother outside, i did not wait to get his reply nor do i want to get his reply.
I walked straight to my ‘prepared by lola’ room
Slammed my body on top of my soft and white, small bed.
Mother is worried? Bullshit. We may look like a great and okay family outside but in reality, the relationship between the mother and daughter a.k.a me and my mother is not alive anymore.
Duo, we're duo before. But the death of father made our relationship fake. Hindering us to fully understand each other.
My mother,
my mother don't like to talk to me anymore, i guess. I don't know why, i want to know why but i don't know how.
Why and how,
What about ‘When’, when is she going to tell me her reason? Treating me like I don't exist, and here i am. Giving her what she wants, making my self invincible in her presence.
Father...
What am i going to do?
My thoughts are interrupted when a knock on the door echoed into my room,
“Apo...”
I immediately stand up, confuse, i walked up to the door and opened it, only to see my grandmother who's standing and smiling at me.
“Lola, do you need something?” I ask her,
She laugh because of my forwardness, “Why don't you let me in first? let's sit down and talk.” She said,
I immediately did what she said, i let her in and let her sit on my bed.
Looking at my grandmother who's 73 years old this year, her beauty did not fade away. I can still see it through her.
My grandmother hold my hands between her hands, patting it like a pet.
“So, how was your walk?” She asked,
I inwardly gagged because of what she asked, should i tell her about the weird things? No.
I smiled, “It's wonderful, ‘la. I came across with a... rabbit, it's super cute!” I said,
Well, i'm not exactly lying. I really did came across with animals, and one of those is cute white rabbits,
My grandmother smiled weirdly at me, “Really? Did something...weird happened?” She questioned, which is weird too.
Does my grandmother know something? Did the cat really exist? Did those events really happened?
I shake off my thoughts, “W-what weird things could probably happen in just a normal walk, lola? I just...saw how beautiful the peacefulness is.” I answered her,
She looked at me like i'm some kind of experiment that needs to be inspected, while me, smiling reassuringly like an i***t.
My acting skill is top tier, she won't get to see through me.
She smiled again, “Is that so? Well then, i'm glad that you taken a like in this place.”
I inwardly sigh because of her words. Nice, i'm good. I smiled at her as an answer,
Fast-forward, after talking to my grandmother and eating dinner. Hours passed by and i am now preparing to go to bed.
I sighed of relief when i got to lay on my bed, i let the darkness to engulf me. Drowsiness surrounded my body.
I thought that i will wake up, fresh and on time. But when i opened my eyes,
I didn't see this coming,
“Running away from me is no use, human.”
T-The f*****g cat is resting beside me, on my bed!
