Angelo’s eyes almost popped out, and his ears suddenly couldn’t hear any sound because of the revelation he had heard. Of all the answers that could answer his question. The response that he feared the most went out of Mark’s mouth.
“Your... your wife, you’re just joking, aren’t you. How can we be married if we’re both men?”
“Ha, is that a joke?” Angelo inquired Mark with a laugh. “Bro, I haven’t lost my mind yet even, though you’re handsome, I don’t hit on my fellow man.”
Mark frowned at what he heard. He thought that Aimie might have suffered severe brain damage from the accident.
“What makes you sure that you’re a man?” Mark asked the woman in front of him calmly. If Aimie’s injury was that bad, he might have to monitor her condition closely.
Angelo frowned at what he heard, “Ha, you’re asking me how I’m sure that I am a man. Brother, don’t you have eyes? My handsomeness screams a manly aura. And most of all, see these muscles that I have just one punch from this, and you’ll be lying on the floor.”
Angelo was supposed to teach Mark a lesson, but before he could open his mouth, his eyes landed on the two mountains in his chest. It was as if cold water was splashed- towards him when remembering that he is now in a woman’s body.
“F*ck this, I had gotten a new life, but sadly I’m in a woman’s body. I don’t know whether if I will be happy or sad because of this situation.” Angelo secretly wept in his mind.
“Is there a problem?” Mark saw the erratic expression on Aimie’s face, and he became worried. At first, she looked like a crazy person because of her weird laughter, then she became pale as a sheet, and finally, because of her frown, she looked like a child robbed of her favorite sweets.
“Nothing.” Angelo sobs in response.
“Are you tired?” Mark asked worriedly.
“You’re asking if I’m in tired. If you’re the one who ends up in a woman’s body, let’s see if you don’t feel any exhaustion.”
Angelo shakes his head, but Mark thinks that Angelo is tired and wants to rest with that action.
“Rest first,” Mark said worriedly to Angelo.
Angelo could do nothing but follow Mark’s heed to rest first. His soul was already tired of the revelations that he had learned.
Angelo immediately fell asleep, and because of this, Mark smiled and noticed the drastic change in Aimie’s personality. In just a few hours that they have been together, the girl became more expressive and talkative, unlike when they first met.
If Mark has to choose, he seems to like the new Aimie with amnesia compared to the old Aimie- who’s like a robot. But what he feels right now will need to be buried first in the deepest part of his heart to be able for it to sprout healthily at the right time.
Mark shakes his thoughts away. He took an apple from the table and started peeling it so that when Aimie woke up, she would have something to eat.
After a few days, Angelo’s condition improved, and the doctor told him he could check out of the hospital. He became happy when he heard the news because he couldn’t wait any longer to get out of the hospital. Since, aside from the fact that he was so bored. He also didn’t like the food that they served to him. He wants to eat delicious foods, not tasteless ones. But these reasons are just superficial ones- why he wants to be out of the hospital. He wants to avoid the one person he hates the most in the whole wide world. If he can hide in the sewers, he has already done it so that he won’t see that Homosapien’s ugly face.
Angelo can’t wait for tomorrow to come. There is a trace of joy on his face because finally, he will be able to go home to the place of his residence, and most of all, he will no longer see the person he hates the most.
Angelo happily thinks of what he will do when he returns to his rented apartment. But, he suddenly remembered a heavy and depressing reality.
“Why!” he suddenly shouted inside the quiet room.
“How can I go home if I look like this,” he cried as sniffle suddenly dripped down her nose, “I’m sure the landlady will drive me away because she doesn’t even know me.”
Angelo got up from his bed and walked like an insane person to his room. He is lucky that he was in a private room and not in a public space because if someone ever saw his face right now, they would immediately call the mental hospital.
“Why did I become a woman. Now I have to think of a plan to get past that stubborn landlady.” He wrecked his brain for ideas as he walked back and forth inside the room.
“What if I say I’m Angelo’s wife?” Angelo suddenly thought and laughed successfully, but it didn’t take long for sadness to become evident on his face. “That landlady won’t believe me. She knows I’m not in a relationship for a couple of years, then suddenly I have a wife. The idea of myself pretending to be me seems not believable. “
“What if I tell her that Angelo is my dad?” He smiled again at what he thought. He’s proud of his intelligent self, but just like before, he suddenly frowned again, “This idea is also not possible, maybe the landlady will send me to a mental institution, what kind of person has a child at an early age of seven? “
Angelo walked faster, like a bull that had gone insane, he suddenly laughed softly, but it didn’t take long for his laughter to get louder. If you look at Angelo’s actions, you will probably call a psychiatrist right away, and adding to the situation is his messy hair that will make you believe that he had escaped from a mental hospital.
“Right!” After Angelo finished his crazy antics. He suddenly shouted and messed his hair even more. “I’m just going to pretend to be a man because I’m Angelo, the most handsome man in the world even, even if I’m stuck in a woman’s body, I’m still a man through and through!”
“You’re good at thinking Angelo, all I have to do is disguise myself. I’m so good at being smart.”
“Hahaha ...” he laughed heartily, but his laughter died down when suddenly the door of his room opened, and the last person he wanted to see in his whole life entered the room. He suddenly blushed because of the way he looked right now.
“Are you okay, Aimie?” Mark asked Angelo worriedly because of the latter’s crazy look.
“I’m... I’m fine.” Angelo replied nervously to Mark.
“Oh, earth swallow me. I’m ready to live in the sewers.” Angelo tearfully thought.
“Are you sure?” Mark is not persuaded easily by Angelo’s reply.
“Of course, I’m just exercising. You know I’m going to be discharged tomorrow,” Angelo said like a drunk person.
“I hope my excuse works.” Angelo pleads in his mind.
“Is that so,” Mark replied. Angelo smiled because his excuse seemed to work. “By the way, have you packed your clothes?
“Yes, since I’m excited to get home,” Angelo cheerfully said to Mark.
“Good, actually it will be easier to take care of you if you stay at our house. The doctor also said- your recovery will be much faster if you are at home.” Angelo was stunned by what he heard.
“What?!” Angelo suddenly shouted, “I’ll stay with you?”
“Why, is there a problem?” Mark asked in astonishment.
“Why should I stay in your house?” Angelo asked Mark because he couldn’t understand why he had to live in the same house as this ugly Homosapien that he hated all his life.
“Have you forgotten what I told you the other day?” Mark asked Angelo.
“What?” Angelo asked back.
“I’m married to you,” Mark replied to Angelo.
“Then?” Angelo asked Mark.
“Then?” Mark asked back.
“This son of a *****, I’m the first one to ask, isn’t it common sense to answer the question first before asking again. So what if we’re married. It’s not like we need to live together just because we’re married.”
“Wait, we’re... married?” Angelo was suddenly shocked at what he had found.
“Looks like you have gotten what I mean,” Mark said while laughing.
“I ... you and me ... in the ... same ... house?” Angelo can’t help but stutter.
“Yes,” Mark said as he looked at Angelo with a smile.
“Kill me now,” Angelo said to himself.
Finally, the day Angelo hoped for had come, but instead of rejoicing, he felt as if heaven and earth seemed to crash into his soul. Because today is the day that his most hated Homosapien and he would live together in the same house. “What if I run away.” Angelo thought as he adjusted his clothes. He smiled at his thought and hurried to the door, and was about to walk out of it. “Wait, Aimie, where are you going?” Mark asked when sees Angelo leaving his room. “Ah, nothing, I just want to breathe some fresh air,” Angelo said nervously. “Nice timing bro, when I thought of running away, then you are going show up.” “Let’s go together,” Mark suggested. “Oh no, no need, since you’re here already, why don’t we just go home directly?” Angelo happily suggested to Mark, but, inwardly he was annoyed. He really can’t get along with this ugly Homosapien. If ever they will live under the same roof. He might want to kill the Homosapien every time he sees th
After the scene in the hospital, they safely arrived at Mark’s house. Angelo couldn’t help but be in awe when he saw the house because of its beauty. “Wow, your house is fantastic.” Amazement is evident in his voice because of how astonishing the design of the house is. “Come, let’s go in.” With a sweet smile, Mark invites Angelo inside. When Angelo heard this and saw Mark’s sweet smile, it was as if Angelo’s happy thoughts shattered in front of him. “Tsk, my mood was getting better already, and I was happy when I saw your house, but when you spoke, it ruined everything,” Angelo inwardly sneered and complained in his mind. “Also, I hate the way you smile. It makes me want to throw this bag towards your face.” But he had no choice but to follow Mark inside the house because he wanted to see its interior structure. According to him, if the design on the outside is fabulous, its interior is also something worth boasting. He is sure that its interior will
“Where’s that ugly Homosapien that looks like a monster? I’ve been wandering around his house for who knows when,” Angelo became annoyed as he mutters to himself since he had been strolling Mark’s voluminous house for a long time. “Why is the size of that ugly being’s house so massive if he’s the only one living here.” “Wait, it looks like I’ve already passed through this painting before,” In Angelo’s mind as he carefully examines the painting of a woman playing the violin under the moon. “Tsk, maybe it’s just my imagination. But where is that ugly Homosapien?” Angelo continued to search for Mark. He searched everywhere and entered all the rooms he could see, but he could now see even the shadow of Mark. “Sh*t, where is that ugly Homosapien hiding. Wait, this is the same painting I saw earlier.” He was annoyed by how big the house was. He wished he could destroy Mark’s abode in an instant. “Is he the manufacturer of this painting? There are so many paintings
“The…” Mark’s words were cut short when his phone rang. He immediately looked at who was calling and answered it. When Mark heard the caller’s purpose, Mark’s aura suddenly changed. That made Angelo stop his daydreaming at the table. “Excuse me for a second,” Mark said. He didn’t wait for Aimie’s response and hurried to his office. “What the heck, it’s a pity. I could have gathered some information. The person who called him just now very was insulting.” Angelo said as he stabbed the vegetables on his plate and then chewed them reluctantly. “I just lost my appetite.” Angelo stopped chewing the vegetable and stood up from his seat. Then he placed his plate in the sink along with Mark’s plate. “The nerve of you to make me wash the plate you have just eaten, but how do I wash this?” Angelo complained in his mind but immediately remembered that his arm currently had a bandage, and he would have difficulty washing the plates. Angelo just sc
Angelo woke up early to go to his funeral. He wore a comfortable outfit that consisted of a black t-shirt, pants, sneakers, a black cap, and a black mask. Angelo looked like a thief in his apparel. But he doesn’t have an alternative because it was the only outfit that Aimie had that fits his style- other than the dress collection in the closet. His whole body trembled when thinking in his mind- that he. Who is a very handsome man will have to wear a dress. He just shook his head because of his useless thoughts. The important thing now is that he needed to get Mark’s permission to go out of the house because the other might think someone kidnapped him, or something happened to Aimie’s body if he can’t find her inside the house. But Angelo could not find Mark, ever since the latter received a phone call. Not even his shadow was seen in his spacious home. With the size of the house, which looks as big as the Mall of Asia, it will take him a long time to find Mark. So he just di
Angelo feels like he is about to die because of how overcrowded the bus is- he thinks that the sardine container is even more spacious than the bus he is riding right now. Adding to it is the inexplicable smell that his nose inhales from behind him. He almost feels like becoming a double dead person because of the fragrance he smells from behind him. He was unable; to cover his nose because, first of all, he was holding the rabbit in one hand while the other was clutching to the railings of the bus. And he also thought that he might look rude if he covered his nose. “Bad luck. How many years did this person not take a bath,”Angelo said to himself while holding his breath?“His fragrance is something else, to the point where he can be an endorser of exotic perfumes.” Angelo almost got suffocated in his location. He didn’t know what to do when suddenly, something caught his eye. “Is she getting down?”in one corner, he saw an elderly wom
When Angelo arrived at the terminal, he immediately looked for the bus with a signboard posted “Haven.” He went around the terminal, and when he saw what he was looking for: Angelo immediately boarded the bus. If he rode it much later- it might be crowded again, and he would not; be able to sit down, so he decided to board the bus immediately. Fortunately, there weren’t many passengers on the bus; there were only ten people on board- so he could choose the seat he wanted. When he sat down, he looked around for posters placed; on the sides and front of the bus because he might be hustled by the bus conductor again. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no such thing that would eat his money away, “Good, I can ask a question freely later.” While he was sitting, his stomach suddenly rumbled- which caused him to be a little embarrassed. He looked out the window, intending to find a food vendor nearby, and luckily a man selling snacks entered the bus wh
With his head resting on the rabbit’s stomach as if it were a pillow, Angelo slept soundly because of the exhaustion he felt throughout the trip. When they arrived at the third bus stop, the bus conductor approached him to wake him up. “Ma’am, we’re already here, in Haven.” The bus conductor said while at the same time he weakly shook Angelo. “The heck, five more minutes, please. I’m not that yet excited to go to heaven. You can go there first.” He absently suggested- to the person who interferes with his precious sleep. “But ma’am, you might not arrive at your intended destination if you won’t wake up now.” The bus conductor angrily barks at the girl while he shakes her shoulders more intensely. “What the fudge, dude!” Angelo shouted, which startled the passengers. “My dream would have been beautiful. My sweetest Amanda and I would have kissed. Our lips were so close already. Dude, you better bring me back to my dream world.” “But, Ma
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
