CHAPTER TWO

"Why Geo Astro? Geo.. Geology, Geography? Is he a Geologist or Geographer? Astro.. Astronomy, Astrology? Or he is.. Astrologist may be Astronomer? Astronaut? Is he in outer space? Is he an Alien or what?. that's why he is faceless! He is a Scientist?" Funny thoughts and questions on Nique's mind. She really feels that this author's pen name has hidden meaning about his personality. What on earth happening on her now? Why she is acting as a detective trying to collect informations to find out about one's Identity?
What's behind on his hidden Identity? Her mind asking. If she feels now she is a detective, then he was a murderer? Or criminal? And she's finding ways to catch the sinful. Then she laughed after thinking that. Feeling she's foolish! "He's not also a falling star why should I catch him?" She's teasing Geo without him even notice. "I prefer the term captive, capture, not catch." Then she laughed again. HAHAHA!
The place was so dark. But there you can see things like milky way or galaxy, and rounded things that orbiting.
Where I am? It feels like I am floating. It seems that I am in space, I mean in the universe. I am outside? I mean outside earth? How could it be? But how could I moved when I tried to walk? And my feet did not touch the ground. I am in no ground? I don't know what would I question. One thing I'm sure, really I am floating. A lot of questions in my mind that the answers already seen. The orbiting rounded things are the planets. The gas like, clouds, dusts are nebulae, stars, galaxy, milky way. How could I already know about the stars?
I am now moving uncontrollably. I am looking at the biggest planet, if I'm right that is the Jupiter because I had see two faint rings. There I have seen, 16 rounded things orbiting when I counted it. I think the moons. So If I am right, Jupiter has many moons. It is orbited by 16 known moons. But now with 79 moons. I never knew about this before. Why so many moons? I'm still moving, floating getting closer then suddenly feels like I'm landed. I am now on the Jupiter?
"Oster cor moor de viocini." I heard this unfamilliar words. Voice from nowhere.
"Ven suarze le mo fes tali voir." Another voice said.
I can't understand, they had strange dialect. I don't know what they are talking, I don't even see them. I just heard more voices. I just keep on quiet.
Then after the exchanging of words that seems they are not a human like me and I don't know what kind of they are, the place suddenly became silent, I get they had gone. But one voice is still remain because I heard again the headed voice when they were talks. The voice sounded as big, boss, powerful, king, god? I am not sure if what or who?
"I know you are there, listening." The voice said. Sounded as loud as thunder. I know it is for me.
Now that the voice speak in english I can talk to him.
"Who are you?" I replied.
"I am who I am." The voice said.
"Where are you? Why did I hear you? Why I can't see you?" Multiple questions from me.
"I am here where I am. I am everywhere when it's time for you to hear me. I have no existence." The voice is serious.
I shocked for what I heard. I hesitate to speak again. I feel that the voice was came from the highest but sent to this planet.
"Why I am here?" I asked. And never follow up the question about knowing who was that just a voice.
"You are the Earth. And you are the chosen." The voice replied.
"Earth? And chosen?" I asked.
"Yes. You have a destined moon orbits on you to beam your dark side while your rotates is for its appears."
The words are deep. I got confused. Then I think for my self as I am. I am an author. I am famous. But I am not, the famous was just the pen name. I'm hiding my self, real identity. My minds going back to my lifestyle, then unexpectedly I found that I was now on my bed, lying.
"Oh! I have a dream?, it is already 7:15 AM. It just a dream! What a wonder thoughts that I should have to think later."
While driving, Geo thinks back again about his dream last night. And he corrected his self because when he woke up, it is already 7:00 in the morning. He was dreaming in a short time so it is not last night, it was morning or day. A day dream? What should he call for this? He was dreaming in the sun? A dream under the sun? He's wondering now, some part of himself saying he's not sleeping that time when he was dreaming, he was awake. His eyes were closed but his mind still functioning. He knew that for certain. He remembered, he rose from his bed to go to the CR, he saw from the wall clock on his room the time was already 6:40 AM but still feel lazy and sleepy. So he went back to the bed and lay down. "Did I go back asleep?" He asked himself while waiting for the traffic signal to go. "I didn't!" some part of himself saying. He can open his eyes anytime he wants, but he had kept closing it because he likes. He was flowed to the amazing universe he had saw and talked to the voice from nowhere. And when he feels something strange it's not on reality, then he got back to normal. Everything's back! The background, the displayed, the things, even the view outside when he put to side the window curtains, he saw everything was back to reality!
As what happened to her yesterday, she was again curious and trying to search things that relates to what she had experienced. But yesterday was not the first time, she had already experienced stranger things even before, when she began to annoy with the famous author Geo Astro. Like she had seen some strange or things that couldn't be seen. Like supernatural, unrealistic and mysterious. Now as what happened yesterday, there's a lot of questions builds in her mind. She can't tell anyone about this. It is already one year and more that she was dreaming while she's sleeping and talking to herself when she was awake. Speaking in tongue. Sleeping but still the mind is awake. Talking with others inside herself. It's hard to explain and understand so who could be listen to her?, that's why she just posting this things in her status updates in social media as a thoughts and quotes so that it's not obvious that it was really her status.
She's now waiting for her client, she ordered a cup of cappuccino and then got her phone to her bag. She wants to search about lightning, Yin Yang, Zodiac Sign, etc. Because these are relates on her stranger things experiences. She has just searched only about Yin Yang, because her client was arrived. They will talk about work. She is the interior designer that sent by her boss to meet the client.
A woman with eyeglasses, wearing expensive necklace and earrings. Carrying her hand bag Dior. The shoe's YSL and the dress is Chanel. Oh! Like Cristina Aguilera? "The dress is Chanel, the shoe's YSL, the bag is Dior." She arranged her words to make the lines of a song.
"Oh? You are already a senior now Madam? Nique asked with praise about the client being still look younger than its age.
"Hahaha! You're so nice Hija. I like your sense of humour." The client said.
"Anyway thank you!" she added.
"Mrs. Tashya, let's now talk about your place." Nique asked.
"Okay, It is in the Island, if you familiar the Island named Nayiba. The Lighthouse Residence of Snowold was older than me. It already had taken some renovations but now it looks like empty and bored. This Lighthouse is so important to me, my parents started a family there. Since I was born and my brothers, we lived there but when one by one left the house, I was the one who's in charge to take care of it. " Mrs. Tashya comfortably shared her story to Nique. Even they are on the very first met.
"Oh Mrs. Tashya, I'm so glad that you share some of your stories to me." Nique feels so good about this.
"You have important memories and cheers in the Lighthouse when you are young." She added.
"Yes. I have 4 brothers. The one passed away. And the 3 left, are now living with their family. I have my own family too so that's why I left the Lighthouse. I'm not the youngest. I am the 4th in the siblings but since I am a unica ija, no more other sisters, I'm just their only sister, my brothers were decided that I am the one who should take care our Lighthouse." Mrs. Tashya was really comfortable to Nique telling about personal life.
"I hope I was your younger sister Mrs. Tashya." Nique smiled.
"Don't worry, I will help you to make more lively again the Lighthouse. Just tell me about your some wants and hates so that I could design it perfectly that exact on your taste."
After the conversation with Mrs. Tashya, Nique did not go back to the office, it was already 5:15 PM, less than one hour left to the office hour. So she decided to meet her best friend. She phoned it.
"How's your work dear?"
Nique turned to his back where the voice came from.
"Oh my dear, are you hear now!" Nique replied.
"Have a seat." She added.
"Thanks dear. So what's the matter? I knew you than you.. yourself."
"You're really my best friend." She smiled.
"So do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes dear, I have more things want to share but it is so weird, things like unbelievable."
Nique shared to Daisylyn all the things that she experiences. They had a long conversation.
Since elementary Daisylyn and Nique were good friends and became best friends when they were in high school. They were still colleagues when they were in college. They are like sisters. But when they both got a job, the world for them was changed. They can't have talks like before. They were chatting on the internet and video call in just a little time. They just texts and calls but not so often like before. They never see each other in everyday or even once a week or twice in a month like old times, everything was changed. But one thing will never be change, their friendship.
Nique forgot about Taero's birthday. Pomilo called her on the phone and told her to buy some drinks when she's on the way to go home. There's a mini grocery near before the gate of Monte Leior Village, so Nique went there to buy some drinks as what Pomilo said and she also takes a look to buy something as a gift for Taero.
When she's arrived everyone was already in the house. The small table in the sofa was full of foods. The decorations with birthday greetings on the wall, the background light was dim then suddenly changed into different colors. Wonderful. She was empressed.
"The drinks is finally arrived!" Bruz said as he opened the door for Nique.
"Sorry I'm late?" Nique sorry for the guys.
"Happy Birthday to our youngest boy." She gave her gift while greeted Taero.
Taero was the youngest inside the house. He was still studying in college, while the rest have their job.
Tonight, they are now celebrating Taero's birthday. Nique bought also 2 drinks for ladies, because she and Zeira are just the girls on the house, they both not good in drinking alcohol. They just drink occasionally and moderately.
Now, under the moon, the night party is celebrating.
Party party in the house no.577 at Monte Leior Village.
