Chapter 10 The Questions

Nique finished the Chapter Nine before she went downstairs. Lauver phoned her to say that the meal was ready.
Fish and chips, roasted rib of beef, lobster, creamy cucumber salad and leek potato soup were all prepared in the dining table. And of course with white plain rice. As Nique saw the dishes, it seems she's in a French or in British restaurant. Lauver cooked these all. Nique was very lucky having a husband like a chef. As for gratifying, she kissed Lauver before she sat on the dining chair.
                 Chapter Ten
Yin was waiting for her friends while she was leaning on the couch. She was just watching a talk show on the television so that she doesn't fall asleep. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She hurriedly opened the door. And she's not wrong, it was really the two. Catalina and Luisiana.
The two were surprised. They hugged Yin promptly and tightly as they saw her.
"Oh.. hey, Yin!.. How is your feeling?" Luisiana asked.
"I'm fine though."
"We really missed you." Catalina said. 
Then Yin's mother suddenly speaks. Invites the visitors to Yin's room because Yin must have to stay in a fireplace so that her temperature doesn't turn to too low. She also prepared snacks for them. After a while of talks with the kids, she left the living room so that they could chitchat well. 
"You have your own fireplace in your room." Catalina wondered as she saw Yin's bedroom.
While Luisiana suddenly touched Yin's arms.
"You're still cold, but not like when you're in the dorm. That time, you know.. you are too cold to touch, like... you know that.. like.." She didn't continue what she wanted to say.
"I know what you wanted to say." Then Yin laughed.
It's dead. Luisiana meant to say.
While Catalina already trying to feel the heat of the fireplace.
"What are you doing Cat?" Luisiana was about to laugh.
Then they all laughed.
The three sitting Indian sit on the floor while watching the fire in the fireplace. They now seriously talked about the condition of Yin. Yin told everything. This is the very first time that she shared her childhood not good memories. She shared about the bully kids when she was seven. How they bullied her, and that's the very first she experienced fainted. Then she transferred to another school. The reasons why they moved address. 
Catalina and Luisiana were just listening. Until they also shared their childhood unforgettable memories too. Then after the exchanging of stories Luisiana got back the topic to Yin.
"Yin, you are very different to everyone else. No one like you. And I wondered why you became like that?" Luisiana suddenly said.
"Yes, Yin. What on earth human being are you!?" Catalina sometimes was really like this talking.
Then Luisiana looked into Yin's eyes. Then she gazed at her.
"What are you doing Luis?" Yin was curious.
"Cat, come here." Luisiana called Catalina. Then Catalina approached to Luisiana. She copied what Luisiana's doing.
"What the two of you are doing?" Yin got confused.
"Are you really a human?" The two suddenly asked with a serious facial expression.
"What!?" Yin was surprised. Not because the two duets, but because of the question they'd asked.
"Look at me.. So explain me why am I not a human?" Yin said.
"Then explain to us why you still survived even your body was so cold like an iced!?" Luisiana said.
"But, I was weak whenever I'm too cold. I just survived because I was in the fireplace." Yin explained.
"But try now, touch me.. my temperature was changed because I'm here beside the fireplace." She added.
Then the two tried to touch her. Yin was right, she's not that cold as an iced now. She's warm now to touch.
"But still you are naturally weird." Catalina said.
"I'm just naturally weird but I am still a human." Yin said.
"What if, like in a movie.. you are a cultivator. From being a whatever kind of creature, then transformed into a human!?" Catalina's mind broadened.
"Ha ha ha!" Yin laughed.
But Catalina was serious.
"You know Cat, that's what you got watching costume movies. You're just carried away." Yin laughed after saying.
"We couldn't say.. it may possible to exist the past in the present and future." Catalina said while she was walking back and forth.
Hours later, Yin's mother arrived to bring foods. The topic changed because of Yin's mother. Until the two decided to go home because it's already 6 o'clock PM. They also refused for the dinner because Luisiana's driver already arrived to pick them up.
After the dinner. Yin went back to her room. Watching the fire in the fireplace and pondering. She pondered about what Catalina's said. 
"What am I?" She asked.
"What really am I?" She repeated.
"Why am I like this? I know this is not a disease. I was born with this kind of weirdness. It is inborn." She's gazing the fire while talking herself alone.
"Why You gave me a life like this?" She was referring to God. 
Then suddenly she had thought something significant.
"I was born with too low body temperature. I must be placed always in a fire. I could stand outside only with sun. I need a heat in my entire life. I need fire. It's because I am cold? It's because my body was cold.. like an iced. I am like a living frozen. Why am I living frozen?"
Then she paused.
"Ha ha ha! I am not frozen, I'm just cold." She corrected herself.
"Cold like an iced but still not frozen."
"So my body.." she put her hand on her mouth to stop talking.
She remembered what had Catalina said.
"Just like a movie?" She uttered. Out of her mind saying.
"Yin."
She's back in her sense when she heard her daddy called her name.
"Dad!" 
Then her mother entered next to his dad.
"Why?" She asked curiously.
"What are you doing?" Her mother, while arranging Yin's bed.
"Ah.. nothing." She replied.
Her father approached her carrying cut woods. Then he added some woods in the fire place. He then sat beside Yin. 
"Are you fine?" Her dad asked.
"Yeah." She answered sparingly.
"What are you thinking?" Her dad, while looking at the fire.
She sighed.
"I'm just wondering what kind of human am I? She said.
"What do you think?" Her dad asked. He was not surprised for what her daughter said.
"What if.. like a movie, Dad. You know what I mean, if you watched or reads some costume, historical or mythological stories." 
Her dad smiled.
"We couldn't say." He said.
Yin once again remembered what Catalina said. 
That word "We couldn't say" reminds her of what Catalina would mean to say.
Why her dad said the same as what Catalina said? Yin was kept thinking.
