Chapter 7

After the call ended, now I still feel surprised. What's with all this? This doesn't usually happen. I feel like there are some strange things that always make me think about it. With all these things, I'm already fed up even though I still haven't guessed well. At the same time I sat back down while enjoying a glass of orange juice. My mind is still focused on those words. As if implying something. In the evening I went to an event held at the largest art gallery exhibition center in this city. At first I just thought this was like a normal event. However, when I came here and then saw with my own eyes it turned out to be more than what I had previously imagined. This is the first time I have come to such a magnificent event. I confidently stepped into the gallery area and not long after that I saw several people I knew discussing the works on display in this place. People are also attracted by all this extraordinary work. I myself felt far below when I saw all this. Suddenly my heart beat fast. I felt nervous but tried not to show it. This time I walked around a bit and looked at the other works on display too.
'Wow, this is truly extraordinary,' I said to myself.
The atmosphere at this event was very lively. They also seemed happy to attend this event. I can feel the good emotions from within them even just looking at them. I also feel that this is very fun. Time goes so fast. It doesn't feel like I've been here an hour. While continuing to look at other works of art, I didn't forget to ask questions about the works on display here. Strangely I feel like I've seen it before but don't know where. Even though this might just be my assumption, it feels so real and makes me feel like I keep thinking about it.
“Maya?”
“Oh? You?"
“Wow. I can't believe you came to an event like this. I thought you wouldn't like it," said a woman in elegant clothes with short hair who was none other than one of my college friends.
“Ah, I think you're mistaken.”
“I see. Looks like you're right.”
“You also came to see the exhibition?”
"Of course. Because this event was organized by my aunt herself."
"What?"
"What do you think?"
"Ah. This is amazing.”
"I'm grateful. At first my aunt was worried about the guests' reactions. If the reaction was that good, of course it wouldn't make him worry. Then I'll go first."
"Okay. See you."
"Yes. Hope you enjoy the event until the end."
'What is this?' I muttered, still in disbelief.
The day continues to get darker. I've checked the time and now is not the time to stay here. Even though I don't want to go home early, it's just that it's too late. I immediately rushed away. On the way, my mind was still swaying uncertainly. I guess I should get rid of this frustration soon. Right in front of my house, I immediately went in and not long afterward took a glass of water. This time my mind improved quite a bit thanks to taking medicine too. Time seemed to fly by quickly. Right now I'm getting ready to go to bed because tomorrow I have to get up early.
"Gosh, this is so tiring," I muttered.
As I expected, this all just gets more complicated. Surprisingly, there were some things that I really couldn't believe just came to me. I was immediately shocked and didn't know how to deal with this situation. A moment later I felt something was wrong with me and then I saw myself in the toilet mirror. Again my thinking was wrong. Until finally I just kept quiet and didn't want to do anything. This is the same as what I felt before. I always panic about conditions like this and of course I don't know where to start because everything comes to me suddenly. In fact, I feel that now the world is not okay. Right after that, I also repeatedly saw myself really not believing in this world, which felt very different from what I usually see. I can't stand all this anymore. On the one hand, I can't escape from this kind of situation. I always feel surprised to the extent that I just think about it and never tell anyone about all this. To the point where I also feel that this might only last temporarily and there's no need to worry about anything else. Tonight I couldn't sleep. It felt like I was awake all night. When I tried to close my eyes, the result was the same. I got fed up with it and then I went back to working on some of my projects. Not long after that, I opened my cell phone and found that there were already lots of incoming messages. One of the messages was from my friend. At first I was surprised why the woman gave information like this. Before finally I was curious and quickly tried to contact the woman. Even though I had to wait a few minutes because the woman hadn't picked up until now we were finally talking.
“Wow, I can't believe you called me on purpose.”
"That's because I didn't understand the message you sent earlier. What does it mean? Are you threatening me?”
"What? I never threatened you. To be honest, that's just information I know from several people. I just want to make sure of you. Is it true?"
"No. That is not true."
“Thank God it was wrong. At first I also believed a little. But when I think about it, how could someone like you be like that? That's why I sent you that message. You must be very surprised. I understand that.”
"Yes. You are right. I was very surprised that's why I contacted you. Sorry if the late nights disturbed your rest time."
"Does not matter. Don't worry."
I quickly hung up the call. Immediately I thought maybe now was the time for me to calm down by resting tonight. The sound of rain that I kept hearing earlier made me feel even more anxious. It's like it's not me. Because I don't usually feel like this. Even though it feels a little disturbing, I'm fed up with the increasingly chaotic world. In my heart, I always hope that there will be something fun, even if it's just a few things. But it is still not visible even now. I'm just getting more frustrated with all this. Not long after, I immediately lay down on my bed.
'Unlucky.' I muttered.
After this I felt that there was something that was much more troublesome than what I had previously faced. At that time I couldn't think clearly. There are several things that always concern me. At the same time, I also feel surprised by this world which is very strange. I've seen a lot of things and there really isn't anything different from that. I've been annoyed about this for a long time and strangely there's nothing I can do. I almost hope that all this is just a dream. After I felt much better, even now I can't think clearly anymore. When I opened my eyes, I felt like I was right in a different world. I feel that this will only make me even more confused. After I left to start my morning, I saw several people who turned out to be the same. At this time I also tried to reconcile the atmosphere. Before I felt much different again, until now I am in a situation that is quite strange. The weirdness always comes and I don't know why it feels so sticky. Arriving at class, I sat down and then took out some notes for this morning's material.
'This makes me feel busy enough,' I muttered.
I almost missed something important. From the other direction, someone could be seen watching me. At first I felt normal. However, when I looked again this couldn't just be a coincidence. It was as if those two people were deliberately waving a war flag at me. Even though I try not to care, the reality continues to be in my head. Honestly, this really bothers me. As soon as class ended, I immediately rushed away and ignored them. While on the way, suddenly someone came up to me and then asked me to talk. I was of course happy because this person wasn't someone who bothered me as much as I saw earlier.
"Hey, do you want to go?" The person asked me.
"Yes. I have to go somewhere.”
“Hmm, I see.”
"Why? Is there something you want to ask?”
"Yes. "Actually there are many things I want to ask you Maya."
"What's that? Just tell me if you want to ask me something."
“This may sound very unreasonable. But, don't you feel strange with everyone today?”
“Hmm, I think there are some people who don't seem to like me.”
"What? Who's that?"
“Maybe that's just my feeling. Never mind, don't think too much about it."
“You are so strange. Even though I also felt a little disturbed by the unusual atmosphere."
I felt something was wrong. After I finished talking with my campus friends, I immediately continued my journey. This time it was really quite exciting. To the point where I feel there is something wrong with this world. My thoughts just kept repeating here and there. I'm curious about something. But on the other hand, I also feel like I can't understand all of this. When I arrived at my destination, I saw a building that looked the same as the last time I came here. The cool atmosphere with the wind blowing made my mind immediately feel calm. I tried to step into that place slowly as I tried to get there.
'I hope it's still the same,' I muttered to myself.
