The Search for Freedom 29 The Power of Hearing
LilI knew if a couple didn't really love each other, there was a high possibility for them to break up. Because even though they were already married, change was constant. There was a big chance that someone's wife would be out of zest when she was with him. That could be a reason for separation. just like what happened to my friend's parents.I was going back home when I saw France Lim. It had been many days since I last saw him. He wasn't going to school anymore, and I didn't know why. I didn't want to make an inference about him, because it wasn't my business if he wanted to do whatever he wanted to do.He was sitting on the bench near their house's gate. I went near him and sat down there too. Walking back and forth from home and school could be exhausting, even though it was only a kilometer away. If I became rich, I would buy a lot of transportation so that students would not have to exert effort or waste time walking."Hey bro, why are you not going to school anymore?" I asked
The Search for Freedom 30 The Masses
It was pretty clear that if someone made one wrong decision in a temporary situation, it could affect their whole life. It sometimes happens when he feels difficulty in a situation. The reason triggered him to make a wrong decision and cling to the sharp sword without thinking that he might tear apart. The only thing on his mind was to escape from a certain difficulty. He didn't think that there were other solutions to his problems. He couldn't see that because he was blinded by the negativity and refused to look at the positive side even in the most difficult situation of his life.There I was again in the grassland, the place where whatever problems I had, nature would absorb them. The breeze would chill me through the bones and would help me forget my problems. Lying on the evergreen grass that seemed to creep and tickle my face. I might fall in love.Everything seemed to have been turned back to normal. Unlike those days when everything was avoiding me. I realized that was exactly
The Search for Freedom 31 The Blood's Stain
KailaAfter I killed the couple who were living in the house in the place I didn't know, the pinkish cloud brought me back to the mansion. However, I had been unable to understand why this was happening to me. The old woman was probably just making a monkey of me. She knew that I felt the difficulty of the curse, but she still didn't say anything about it. It wasn't her mistake at all; it was mine, because I was so choosy that I didn't want to talk with her.It was already midnight when I arrived at the mansion with the cloud. I knew there were marks of blood on my clothes and I could smell them by myself. I took the winding stairs down to the living room. It was already midnight, and the servants and workers might be sleeping in the rooms.The darkness seemed to swallow me. I searched for the light switch and turned it on. I was not wrong; I saw in the antiquated mirror that my clothes had many red marks, especially my skirt, because it was white.The door suddenly cried out. I saw s
The Search for Freedom 32 The Conspiracy
"Goddammit! What are you doing here? Are you watching me sleep? Can you get out of my face? You ugly woman?" I scowled. I sprang from my bed, donned my pink sneakers, and went towards the window. I opened it and let the sunlight enter the room.That day was so bad because I had not slept well, and then I was irritated that when I woke up, the first woman I saw was the old woman who cheated me. She was wearing long black pants and a leather coat, the same as the clothes she was wearing the first time I saw her. Her ugly face seemed to have changed a lot. Some of the veins on her face, which seemed like snakes and wanted to bite me, were gone.There was one more thing that I realized about her. She wasn't too ugly at all, and her eyes were mauve, which turned me curious because we had the same eyes. However, it would never cross my mind that we had a connection to each other just because of that. I wasn't bragging, but I didn't want to have any connection with that ugly woman, because s
The Search for Freedom 33 The Never-ending Boxing
LilIt was my first time seeing cars, vehicles, motorbikes, and many other forms of transportation going back and forth on the highway, though it was already night. The lampposts and the lights from them seemed like stars in the sky, illuminating and twinkling. But unlike them, the stars would never run out of light even though eons elapsed. I was walking against the wind, and I didn't know where my feet would take me. What I only knew was that it was searching for another victim again.There were many huge houses on each side of the streets. Some have two floors, others have many, like buildings. The other thing I noticed in each house was that their doors and windows were all closed. It might have been because it was already night and nothing other than that. Nothing would happen if I walked all night on this highway. It needed to stop so that everything would come back to normal.My feet eventually halted. I might be tired of walking, but I was wrong. There was a two-story house ne

If I could say a word, I had already shouted everything I wanted to say. I knew he was a kind man, for he didn't seriously hurt me and he wasn't irritated though my body wanted to kick and punch him. He was kind, that even though I didn't reply to his words and questions, he still didn't go anywhere. But I also knew he wasn't as patient as paper. I didn't know what he could do to me if he was out of patience.After a while, my feet brought me towards the man, and I continued kicking and punching him. As it were, it was like playing boxing, and I didn't know what it really wanted to do. I didn't know if it was just playing with the man or if it really wanted to hurt him. Perhaps it was just a warm up and the real fight was going to happen.As what I expected, the play round was over. Everything was getting more dangerous when the curse used its real strength, the strength of dark magic. It controlled my arms to punch the man's face, making him tumble down on the ground. It controlled m
The Search for Freedom 35 The Inference
KailaI knew a little bit more about Alicia; she told me that she was already dead and that someone had cursed her. Why couldn't she rest in peace? After that, she did not tell me more about herself. Though she didn't remove the curse on me, I did not waste the opportunity to conspire with her, because I also wanted to be free.I knew Alicia could help me get rid of it because I knew she was powerful, but she told me that she could not remove the curse once it had already infected my body, but I should not worry because she knew it could not easily control my whole body. She was going to tell me what to do in order to get rid of it when someone knocked on the door of my bedroom."You should go now, for someone might see you here," I said."Kaila, have you forgotten that I'm already dead and you're the only one who can see me?" Alicia responded.Maybe it was also a power that I could see ghosts; maybe I had a third eye; or there were many hidden things about me and my family. My parent
The Search for Freedom 36 The Questions
Alicia suddenly showed up by my side and said, "I know you're now thinking again about the guard you killed, but don't worry too much because I can help you forget him."I faced her and asked, "How can you help me?""That's so easy, Kaila. You only need to make yourself busy.""But how can I make myself busy?" I queriedI sensed that there was something she wanted me to do. As might be expected, she would only use me for her own benefit. But I wasn't sure yet."Do you remember what I mentioned about something you can do to break the curse?" She sat down on the concrete-hard chair at my right side.Her words sounded interesting, especially since my sole aspiration was to get rid of the curse, which also came from her. I experienced a dilemma. She probably would not tell me anything without expecting an exchange, or she could also benefit from what she wanted me to do. But as long as I could do it, I would never waste an opportunity to find out what I needed to do in order to break the
