NIKUMI’S POINT OF VIEW
Three day later.
“Who are you?” i asked the man wearing a kimono that is sitting on the window. He’s sitting sideways and I can only see his left side. His hair is shining because of the light from the crescent new moon. His right arm is on top of his knees and he looks so serious.
“It’s me, Ojou-san.” He said seriously without taking his eyes away from the moon.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said and walk closer to him.
I Feel a little bit strange of my surrounding and myself. I don’t where I am and I don’t who I am. I can’t remember anything. I just woe up in this room this morning and Juvia-san unclog the chains that are restraining my movements. All I knew is that I’m here since I woke up without any memories of myself or anything.
“Ojuo-san, I’m sorry.” He said and looked at me with a smile but it’s a faint one. I looked at him closer. I can’t see his face because he is now facing me and the light from the outside is against he window.
“You’re sorry? For what? Who are you?” I asked again while trying to see his face, the light from the outside is blinding me. I don't understand. Why is he saying that he is sorry even though I don't even know who he is.
He jump down and grab my arm. The next thing I knew is were are now facing each other and on a side view with the window. I was mesmerized by his dark red eyes, his pointed nose and shiny black hair. His tattoo on his neck that is in Japanese characters “Ichi” and white and red kimono. I gulped when felt a thumping on my chest and he really is too close to me, I can feel his breath on my face and his eyes re looking straight to mine.
“It’s me, Edward.” He said. His voice is so handsome that is a perfect combination to his perfect face.
“Edward.” I said and looked at him with curiosity. I can’t remember where I heard the name Edward. It’s so familiar but I can’t tell where or how it’s sounds familiar. I’m on a deep thinking when he let go of my arm. His hand slide down to hands and drop on my laps. Hi put his hands on his hair and brush using his hand.
“I get it. I’m sorry I can’t do something about it.”
“About what?” all I can do is ask and ask again but he is very mysterious. He’s logical and not straight to the point that is why I’m getting more confused. “Who am I? Who are you, my brother?” I don’t know why I asked him that but brother is the first thing that came in my mind. He did not answer but he is still looking at me. He smiled again but for the second time, It’s faint. “Are you my—”
“I’m your knight....” he cut me off and after saying that he climb up the window. He’s about to jump, I’m staring at his back but I can’t utter a word after he said those things. “See you around, Nikumi-chan.” And he jump out the window. Before I can even stop him he’s already gone.
Nikumi-chan? My name is Nikumi?
“Margaret.’’ My heart almost drop when I heard Juvia-san’s voice behind me. she called me in a different name so I started to get confused again.
She closed the door after she get in. She’s holding a tray with a cup on it.
“Good evening, Juvia-san.” I said and smiled at her.
“Good evening.” She replied without even smiling. She looks so serious but she seemed to be a good person. He put the tray on the table and checked the outside of the window. “Who are you talking to?”
“I’m sorry?” I asked.
“Nothing. How are you feeling?” She asked while closing sliding window.
“Uhm.” I paused for a second. “Juvia-san, I can’t remember anything. I don’t know my name or anything.”
“Your name is Margaret and we are family.” She said while patting my shoulder. She pick up the cup and hand to me. “Here is your medicine.’
“Am I sick or something? Why am I drinking a medicine?” I asked innocently.
“Margaret, listen to me. You will remember everything soon once you take the medicine.” She explained while caressing my cheeks. She’s giving the cup to me and it’s getting closer to my mouth.
It’s red but the smell is so sweet. The aroma is hypnotizing me.
