He laughed darkly as I was just telling him a joke. "I'm not joking!" I insisted.
He laughed again at my second statement, "I'm not lying!" I tried on assuring him, "I'm your best friend."
"You're dreaming too high to be my best friend Jazzlin. I think you're out of your mind."
Did I do something wrong with telling him this secret? Though I thought he would believe it.
I thought hard about what evidence I could show him until I found something that would make him to believe in me, "You will believe me if you can see my signature. You know clearly your friend's signature and written form right?" I challenged him.
Great idea, right? No one in the world would have the same handwriting and signature style. It would be easier to convince him.
He looked surprised to hear me but for a moment he smirked, "Let's just see." He looked at the other men, "Ron, get me a pen with a blank paper." H
Flashback to years ago."Jazzlin, wake up." I heard someone's calling me. I looked up and Barra sat in front of me, smiling.Wait a minute, didn't I just get shot? I looked at my body, I was fine, no wounds hurting me."What's wrong?" Barra asked again. He looked different from what I had ever seen. He looked younger. This was what he looked like when he was a teenager. I saw us sitting in a cafe. Our table was filled with textbooks."No problem." I answered slowly, I thought I was reborn but back to the previous year. Wait, what year was this? I dig into each of my pockets to find a phone."Are you looking for this?" He showed me a flip phone. I nodded quickly and wanted to take it, but quickly he pulled back his hand."Sadly, you have to study first." He pointed to the book in front of me. I saw the book in front of me, it was an economics lesson."I
Ethan Sanders. This man had adopted me from the orphanage. He was a middle-aged man who was thinking that he was not capable enough to continue his business.From what I knew, he didn't have an only son to inherit his fortune, so he decided to adopt me.He was a man who was very determined and made the best of his spare time. He would not let any time slip from his grasp other than to make coffers of money.I just did what he wanted me to do. Since morning I'd been busy with all my bussiness matters, then came home from my office, I continued with additional lessons and after that, I took a course with my foster father about the world of business.I really hadn't mastered about business properly.Comparing to when I was lived in the orphanage with my new home was quite different. I felt depressed here, but what else I could do? Maybe it was what I should do for my future.I didn't r
The crowd filled the scene while I sat down with Alia instead. I was so worried but I didn't even dare to look at Janielle. I was scared like a puppy.Clarissa tried to calm Alia, who was shaking incessantly. I kept praying until I decided to accompany Janielle to the hospital. I had to see what kind of condition she was.Her condition was so bad. Blood had already covered half of her face, her head was badly injured. Doctor and nurses immediately helped as much as they could.I cried in front of the room trying to enter. I just wanted to hug her just one more time. I kept on crying while trying to break down the door where she was trying to between life and death.All I could do just praying to God.My heart felt empty just as the doctor came out with a stunned expression, bringing us news that we never wanted it to be told."She has gone."It felt like my world ca
Continuation of IN COMA pt. 1Days passed until our exam day arrived. Barra was getting better enough, although sometimes he still had trouble walking because of the pain.The man surprised me over and over again with all the willingness he made for Jazzlin. Luckily that woman had it, but now he hated me.The exam was hard for me, but Jazzlin did it easily like it was piece of cake.My days were busy with studying and avoiding every party which actually tempted my soul to go there. The soul controlled by real Jazzlin but I could feel it.Barra and I spent our time studying together. He often stayed in my room. I was the one who always hugged him when nightmares about his mother came.The figure of a mother was indeed the most important part of his life.His mother's departure completely destroyed him. I promised myself to never leave him alone until I stop bre
I continued to walking until I woke up while the sun shone brightly. In front of me was a table that I had been using to lean my head. It looked like Jazzlin fell asleep.On the table there was a calendar which immediately caught my attention.It was 2005 and the ink circles right on the date when my accident happened. I wondered what Jazzlin did until her car hit me.Someone's crying voice was heard, averted my gaze.I started walking closer to it, but I didn't aim to get close to the voice. Right behind the wall of the room where the sound of crying was heard, I stopped.Rose Ozza was crying alone in there. I closed my eyes. Again, it wasn't me who moved the body but the real Jazzlin.The cause of her sadness was none other than Jeremy Ozza. That man became someone Jazzlin hated the most after what he did to this family.Rose Ozza was just as frustrated after her
"Finally you woke up." I held my armpit which was felt sore, I noticed a bandage had closed the wound tightly. My eyes turned to someone who was sitting next to me.It was Haytham sat next to me. His eyes like silver lightning when I staring at them.“Where am I?” I looked around and only found him by my side."No need to panic like that. I have no intention of hurting you anyway." His voice was hoarse.Thanks for the information."That's not the answer to my question.""Look, I know you just woke up but what you said before was enough to make me dizzy."I knew what he meant. My statement before, "I thought I heard you say you believed me." I snorted softly."I believe you." He swiftly held my hold, "It's just that it doesn't make sense." His eyes searched every direction but never found mine."I don't even know how this happened. B
"Don't tell me you made this for me?"He smiled as he nodded.Wow, sometimes I forgot this man by my side loved me so much. He kept his promise even after I died."I memorize that day very well. I told you that I'm tired of living in a room with the others."He nodded, "Not only bored but you also said one of them likes to snore.""You remember it." I chuckled."I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of you. You left because I couldn't do anything and now you are hurting because of my mistake." His face hardened.I lifted his chin with my finger, "Don't say that." His words made me miss someone. The first time I woke up in Jazzlin's body, Barra said the same regret, "Shall we come down to eat?" I tried to break the tension.His face showed a smile and then he carried me."Hey, my leg isn't hurt." I reminded him that it was not my leg t
After my chat with Alia, I immediately went to Haytham's room. I knocked on the door and then I found his voice allowing me to enter. He was busy taking care of his work, papers scattered on the table.I walked closer and stopped right in front of his table, "I need to talk to you."He looked up, his eyes staring at me tiredly as his hands clasping the paper. He froze in place when he found me who had come."Hey, what's the matter?" Instantly he put all the paper back. He stood up then walked over to me. His body stopped right beside me, leaning it against his desk, "Is your wound getting better? Don't forget to continue to treat it. I have put all your needs in your room.""It's getting better, surely. Thanks." I paused, thinking for a moment then asking, "Are there any new problems with the Ainsleys?"His eyes tapered, "How do you know?"I let my hand ruffled my hair, "I asked for
