Chapter 21: Chapter 21

"I see it." I immediately looked at Keir and pointed to the shop, because the poor functioning of the rig did not carry us far, we immediately stopped.

After I paid we immediately went there. I carried my skirt just to go there quickly, she was immediately stopped when we entered. It stood up and approached. She is beautiful, even her complexion even though her body and clothes are stained with paint, I can't deny how beautiful she is.

My gaze penetrated the soul man who followed her. It was obvious on its face for a long time. His dry lip is cracked. Violet is the color of the skin and even the black veins on his face. It was as if he was too tired to follow the woman, their souls were probably connected and they just fell in love, so even death didn't want to let him go.

"What do you need?" The woman asked calmly.

"Would we be there to draw?" I asked questioningly and pulled Keir, he even looked at the two of us before nodding.

"Just stand there." Simultaneously point it to one side. Surprisingly Keir looked at me before I pulled him over there.

"That's right, you're not allowed on camera after all. And at least we're here together." I'm happy to promise. It just looked at me and didn't speak.

"Closer." The woman ordered so I rushed to Keir.

"We should be smiling." I order it here. I looked to the front again. First time I will do it, because I really want to have memories with him. For me to remember that I once met someone like this and gave a strange twist to my life. That was long and really hooking. When it was over I immediately sat down, but Keir remained standing behind me. I stared at the ghost man who was also looking at us.

"Are you here to help me break free?" I nodded in response. I can't speak because his girlfriend might think I'm crazy.

"It's over. But just a moment." Let's take it together and walk to where. I turned around before turning my gaze to the man.

"It's been two years since then, but until now I haven't been able to leave." Introduction to it.

"Seriously, for that long?" I wonder question. Two years? By the way, I thought it was only months.

"Some people have told him to forget me and let me go, but he doesn't want to, I want to be free." Even though its voice is frightening, there is a trace of pleading in it. He was probably really tired, he should have left here a long time ago.

"Like I said, your soul can disappear and never be given another chance to be born again." I looked up at the back where Keir was standing.

"Or she will be with you," he added. I look back at the man because of the tingling in my neck.

"I hope you can convince her, you're my only hope." I nodded at what he said. I will try to grant his request.

"There, it's over." It happily came back and showed off her work.

"Nice." I am happy with the response. I even smiled when I saw it. There was a mansion in the background and there was also a gig on the side, while Keir and I stood side by side and happily. Inevitably my heart rejoiced, even now we met, as if we had lived in these times.

"You look good two." Woman's promise.

"Clarisse Shovel." Introducing her all at once with her hand.

"Quinn." I invite in handits.

"And you?" I even looked at Keir.

"Keir." His quick answer.

"You know, my boyfriend and I were like that before." She looked down at the table.

"What happened?" I asked carefully and looked at Keir. It just stood quietly behind me.

"Lung cancer, he was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago, the doctors said they couldn't do anything. I was in Canada studying at that time, I couldn't go home because we had an exam. We talked that morning , I didn't know that was the last day we would talk. " It was a story and when the tears finally fell, she immediately picked it up and turned her back on us.

"Sorry." Even though I wasn't in her situation, I could feel the pain in her heart. I could feel every pain in her words.

"I'm sorry too, I'm just crying. I still don't want him to disappear next to me," she looked back at us.

"But you need to set him free." Keir broke his silence. Clarisse even looked at it with wet eyes.

"I can't...I'm not ready yet," she shook it one after another. She is like a caretaker based on her actions.

"You listen." I'm stealing here. I held her hand to calm it down.

"Over time, he's just always by your side, but maybe it's time to let him go. If you just hear his sigh make sure you feel sorry for him. He wants to leave, he's tired. I know I'm not in the place, but he himself asks for it. " I calmly explain. She shook his head again and I could see in her face, that no matter what I said she didn't want to listen.

"You can only say that because you're happy, you don't know the pain of it." Keir and I looked at each other, pointing to her chest. My gaze penetrated her boyfriend. I almost stopped breathing for a moment as the wind carried me somewhere.

"March 30 2008, the first day you met. He was studying criminology and you, on the other hand, just moved to their place. Same day, March 30 2009 when you were. You went through so many trials, but you didn't give up .Year 2016 when you were sent to Canada. You had to go together, but there was a problem with his visa. After 2 years there were findings that his illness returned and it got worse. Year 2018 you know this, your parents called you but you didn't go, not because you had an exam but because you had an argument with him. You thought everything was just a joke, even until he was buried you weren't there. Because of that , you are angry with yourself, you do not let him go not only because of your great love. If not also because of your self -hatred. " I immediately let go of her and grabbed my head.

"Quinn." Keir supports me with concern.

"How did you know that? Go away!" I was still standing when she suddenly pushed me.

"Get out of here! You crazy!" It squealed as Keir pushed us out.

"If you don't release him now, his soul may disappear completely. He can't be given another chance to be born again." I insisted on saying this, but she kept pushing us out.

"If you let that happen, it's like you ignored him twice. You don't really love him, if you let him just disappear."

"You don't know anything! You haveny tried to love like this before!" She kept closing the door and throwing the painting she had made for us. She even closed the curtains, so that I could never see them.

"Clarisse!" I shouted as I slammed the door, but my hand hurt badly. She still won't open me up.

"Quinn, come on. There's nothing we can do about her decision." I tried to pull his hand away, but he grabbed my arm and turned to face him. It was only then that I felt lethargic.

"N-no, we can still do it, can't we?" I insist on him. I looked into its eyes to give me hope, but I could see nothing. It can still shake. It even turned to the right, which is why I turned to look at it. I saw a woman standing on one side, staring at the shop as if you were staring at a painting.

"We're late, the Goddess have decided." This promise is weak.

"What will happen?" I ask a depressing question. It was just a shrug of my question.

"Its soul may disappear forever, even the woman has a punishment. In her next two lives, she will suffer for the same reason. Her next two lives will be more bitter and bitter when it comes to love." My gaze fell to the ground. I could feel Keir's grip on my shoulder loosen.

"There are times we really can't do what we want to do." This promise was weak and I sat down. Why am I so stupid? Why didn't I do such a simple thing? When because of my negligence, even he will have a hard time in his next life. I hope I'm not the only one they chose to help, why a loser like me?

"She herself chose her destiny, we are not in a place to dictate anyone's destiny, because even our own destiny is beyond our control." I slowly stared at the offer of his palm. I even sobbed before inviting it, he helped me stand up.

"What if even your mission we can't do?" I asked here from a hesitant voice.

"Like I said, we don't hold fate." He smiled brightly at me. I averted my eyes and sighed before walking. It's so hard when you don't do what you should. My fun earlier suddenly collapsed, why wasn't I able to help them? How can they be Roly in case I don't succeed? I see in them the tiredness and the desire to live again, but what if I fail there too? Even Keir, what if I can't help him? What will happen?

My face was sad while getting dressed, the gay man was still talking to me asking if we had a happy date, but I didn't feel like talking to him. My shoulder dropped out, I just thanked then we went out. We walked quietly, I can't bet be happy now. It's really good and we did it late, because otherwise I might not have felt like taking a picture earlier.

"Where's your car?" I wonder question. I don't see a motorcycle.

"I would have given you something." His voice is a bit shy. I stopped and looked at him.

"What it is–" I was cut off from speaking when he suddenly revealed to me, the golden necklace.

"Nice." My smile brightened as I touched it.

"Locket?" I was happy to ask him. I opened it and saw the picture of the two of us. My heart was happy to see it, my heart was beating so fast. It was as if an energy flowed again to make me energetic.

"Wait, how did you get the pictures?" I wonder question after it closes. This locket is heart shaped and looks old as well, but beautiful.

"Earlier while you were getting dressed, I imitated what was in the painting," he replied.

I just can't get rid of my smile and stare on its face. It's a pity for him, how lucky his girlfriend before.

"I'll wear it." I just nodded and fixed my hair. It walked behind me, I smiled again when I felt it apply to my skin. I happily held on to the locket and looked away. My eyes widened when I saw a familiar face...it's Blake.

He looked at us seriously from afar. Probably now he thinks this is my new boyfriend, if only I could.

"There's something about you." His language was lively when he introduced me to him. He even looked at the locket, before turning his gaze to my face. If a normal person sees us, they will think we are in love with each other.

Well, how I wish.

"Let's–"

I was stopped when my phone suddenly rang. This is an unknown number, but I answered right away.

"Hello?"

"Quinn?" Tearful words of it.

"Chelsea?" Keir even looked up when I said this.

"Where are you? Are you okay? I'm sorry if Florence fired you, where are you? Keir and I are going to see you."

"I'm in a hotel here in Baguio, come to me sister. I'm scared." I even closed my eyes after hearing the frightened voice of it.

"Alright, we're on our way." I immediately put down the cellphone and hurried to find Keir's motor. It's really good and he's fine. I remembered that damn Florence again. If something bad happened to Chelsea, I would definitely hit him.

I should take her back to the hotel, it's safer if she's just in the hotel, nothing bad will happen to her. Whatever else Florence said he could do nothing. I will help as much as I can, not just for him. Also for those there who also want to get stuck. If he doesn't think about other people, I can do what he should do.
