CHAPTER 3

Migi woke up early the next morning not knowing how he had slept the night before. He didn’t even know if it was real or a dream which happened at that time.

Later, he frowned after sniffing when he smelled food from the kitchen that made his stomach growl. Only now did he feel hungry because of that smell. He didn't even know when he last ate.

Even though he tried to think of who might be in the kitchen to cook, he couldn't think of anything so he just decided to get out of bed to look at it. As Migi went down to the kitchen, he could smell the delicious smell of that food even more as he could barely feel the nervousness of who was there, even though he had no expected guests.

Migi's forehead furrowed even more when she got to the kitchen. He stopped when he saw a man without a top, only a pink apron covering his body. Despite Migi's astonishment and trepidation, he couldn't help but marvel and stare at its wide back as well as its a**.

Even before Migi could react, the man noticed him and turned to face him. She could not move as his gaze was fixed on the man's face. He couldn’t be wrong, this was the man in his room that night. Migi's mouth dropped open when he realized that it wasn't a dream. The man who introduced Sebastian to him was real and it was there in front of him.

"Good morning, Migi," the man greets, still holding the spoon.

Migi blinked while his brain was still processing everything.

How is that man still here? He still thought about the last thing that happened that night but the last thing he remembered, he was fast asleep.

"Y-you? Y-you’re not a dream?" Migi asked in shock who was also there. "W-what are you doing here?"

Sebastian scratched his forehead as he smiled. "I'm not your fantasy, Migi I'm your reality," he said. "So yeah, I'm basically real," he also added.

"D-don't you know you're trespassing? Now I can also call the police to put you in jail," he threatened but there was no fear or apprehension on Sebastian’s handsome face.

Sebastian just smiled at what he said. "Until now do you still think that I will do something bad to you? If you want to call the police, go. I won't constrain you about it, Migi. But if I have any bad intentions towards you, I’ll  already harm you that night," Sebastian explained with a serious look on his face.

Migi didn't say anything immediately because the man had a point. If he had a plan, he would not give him a chance to escape or call for help. He even prepares his breakfast.

He didn’t know why he was still not calling the police, even though he had a chance. "What do you really need from me, huh?" Migi continued to inquire.

Sebastian smiled. "Didn't I already tell you my reason, Migi? I'm here to watch over you."

Migi's eyes narrowed. He could not understand why he needed to be watched. "I don't understand why you have to watch me?" he asked and sounded confused.

"Wait, are you a lawyer or an investigator, Migi? You asked too much," Sebastian said laughing. "Migi, you just need to trust me because I know everything about you," he said seriously.

Migi was even more confused by what he said. "What do you know about me?"

"I know your personality, Migi, all of it, even your past."

Migi didn't know what to think of what he said. He also remembered what Sebastian said about murder cases in their area. "Who are you really, Sebastian?" He developed an interest in the man in front of him because of his mysterious personality.

"Right now, you just know my better name, Migi. You'll know me too," Sebastian said, then smiled.

Migi couldn't answer because his eyes just remained on his handsome face as he thought about who this man was and what was hidden in his personality.

"The food is ready, Migi you can take your breakfast," Sebastian said later, which provoked him. "I prepared this food for you because I know you are hungry," he added.

Migi blinked, then turned to the food served on the table. He could smell the delicious fragrance again that made his stomach growl again. He was even surprised when it sounded, enough for Sebastian to hear.

"Don't deny, Migi, you're hungry," Sebastian said laughing. 

Migi was surprised when he pulled him to the table. Migi couldn't have done anything, but to let this man pull him. Migi did not even realize that he had lost his apprehension and fear of this stranger.

In front of him were the foods seen on the table every morning, such as eggs, hotdogs and fried foods that were probably what he had smelled before. He became even hungrier but he thought of the man in front of him.

"Don't be shy, go ahead, eat now because I know you're hungry," Sebastian said before Migi could speak.

"You, you're not going to eat?" Migi asked him, without realizing that he was talking to him in that manner.

"All right, I’m already full when I see you eating," Sebastian replied, smiling at him.

Migi narrowed his eyes on Sebastian because of its response. In the end Migi just ignored it and turned his gaze on the food on the table as if his stomach had told him to eat it all.

Migi took some food and put it on his own plate and started eating. At first he was a little taken aback by Sebastian who was just looking at him but because he was hungry, he ignored it and continued eating.

"So, you like it, huh," Sebastian commented while smiling at him, who was silently eating.

"I'm hungry, eh," Mgi replied and just continued eating until he finished and he really can’t deny that he liked all the food served in front of him.

After he ate, Sebastian said goodbye. When he left him, it was only then that he thought of the reception he had made to that stranger. He even ate the food Sebastian cooked. Migi also felt that this was not a bad person, that it would do nothing bad to him.

Who is that man?

Since Sebastian showed up at Migi's house that time, he never showed up again. Whether he admits it or not, there was a time when Migi waited for Sebastian to suddenly appear in his room, but it never happened again. He just couldn’t understand why he became interested in that man.

Migi collapsed on his bed when he came to his residence from school. As he lay on his back, he changed position and lay down, his forehead furrowed when he felt as if someone was watching him.

Isn't that Seb? he asked himself but later he shook his head because it was unlikely to show up to him. It had been a few months since he had seen it and he no longer expected that. Maybe Sebastian ghosted him.

Because of that feeling, Migi quickly tossed the blanket out of slight fear because someone seemed to be watching him. Also because he was tired from school, he did not realize that he had fallen asleep.

The next morning, Migi woke up early and immediately went to school. His graduation is also near so he has to take care of his requirements.

Migi went into his classroom and found some of his classmates talking and he couldn't help but hear that.

"Sis, did you know that until now Fael and Althea have still not been found and there are those who say they may be among those killed," he heard one of his classmates say.

"Oh yes! And then it's Migi who doesn't seem to remember, eh, aren't they, they're friends?" another one replied.

"Shh!" His classmates immediately rebuked his friend as if he did not want someone to hear it.

Migi was suddenly stunned by what he heard. What does he have to do with the people his classmates mention? How his friends Althea and Fael, eh, he didn't even know it.

What do I have to do with them? Why did they mention my name? Migi asked in astonishment in his mind.

When he looked back at those two who were talking about the matter, he saw that it was coming out of the room so he was no longer able to investigate them.

Migi was left full of questions and wondered what he heard from his classmates. What did he have to do with Althea and Fael, who they say were among those killed and his friends, even though he can't remember that he was with them. The question just filled his mind.

While Migi was in the cafeteria, he still couldn't forget what he heard from her classmates. As he ate, he looked around because he felt there were eyes looking at him from nowhere but he noticed nothing suspicious around. He just ignored that and just continued eating.

But soon he was stunned when he heard voices around him that he could not understand.

Najdgsudhamsghatfswu

It was a mixed voice that he could no longer understand causing a slight pain in his head.

Migi's face was flushed because of those loud voices that he couldn't understand. "Noisy!" He could no longer freely raise his voice because of the noise he was hearing. Only then did he notice that his fellow students looked at him in amazement at his reaction.

Migi saw the students looking at each other. "There is nothing noisy here, ah," said one of the students in astonishment. Migi looked around and it was really silent there.

"Maybe it's the effect of losing his friends so he's losing his mind," the other student replied.

Migi frowned again because of what they had said about him. They also think that Althea and Fael are his friends.

Embarrassed, he ignored them and went back to eating with his head bowed. He thought the surroundings would be quiet again but soon there was a loud voice again that he could not understand. He was almost deaf to what he heard. He let go of the spoon he was holding and covered his ear.

He stood up from the seat and quickly walked away from that place. He went straight to the CR and immediately looked in the mirror. Migi's face showed surprise and confusion there. What are those he hears? He closes his eyes tightly. He turned on the faucet and immediately wiped his face, hoping he would calm down and those voices would disappear. 

What is this feeling?

On the other hand, in a dark alley, two men are seen fighting five zombies. Their speed is astonishing, their frightening faces that look like corpses coming from their graves can also be noticed.

Two consecutive blows were unleashed by a man that hit a zombie but  that monster ignored it. The man turned to another zombie and grinned. They thought that if it couldn’t kill the zombies with their fist, they would use the easy way. The man pulled out a sword with a shining tip, immediately swung it at a zombie that hit his neck, followed by throwing his head somewhere.

The other man did the same. He immediately grabbed the hand of a zombie that rushed at him. He pulled it and spun it followed by wiggling it with the whip he was holding that wrapped around the two zombies, successively separating its heads from their bodies. In an instant the opponents were wiped-out.

After they killed those five zombies, the cellphone held by one rang and he immediately answered.

"How's the situation there?" question from the other line.

"It's already done here Sir," said the man holding the phone seriously.

"Good then. I have received the news," the man on the phone said happily.

"What news sir?"

"It looks like his ability is coming out," the man immediately replied.

"Well, that's good, Sir," he replied, while his lips curved and formed a  smile.

"And you know what you will do," the man from the other line reminded him.

"Yes sir!" After he said that, the call was cut off.

The news secretly made the man smile because of what he found out. But in spite of its smiles, there was a glimpse of it.

"I did this for your own good, Migi."
