Do you believe in soul-mate? Fate, say those who believe. Nonsense, said those who didn't believe. The red string that connects people. Do you know the string was not only for lovers but also for those we call family? Do you believe the thin crimson thread could connect not only love but also something more than that? Henry was a ghost, a lost soul. The man had no memories of his past life. He couldn't move on or reincarnate, he only wanted to end his misery, the loneliness and the emptiness. Being led by a mysterious source, he then met a girl named Tania. The girl could see supernatural beings and her family who were also full of extraordinary people. After being alone for a long time, Henry found something called family once again. Along the way, Tania helped Henry to find an answer to his problem of being a lost soul. Together they found out more than Henry's past life and the truth behind the boy's life. Sometimes you would find more than what you seek, be it for good or for bad purpose.
View MoreSunday afternoon, the sun began to set. The sky was full of clouds, the sound of the wind playing with the leaves could be heard clearly in Tania's room– which other family members were starting to call Henry's room as well. They were like a package, where Tiana was– there would be where Henry was.Like a couple duckling together, was what Tania’s sisters were saying. Watching dramas was not something Henry did often, but watching was a good activity to take his mind off the hassle of life for a while. Tania had her life as well, she couldn’t possibly be with Henry all day alone and do whatever they needed to get more information about the man’s unconscious condition. It was a normal evening when Tania started, "Hey," a small voice behind his shoulder made Henry turn. Tania was sitting with a sullen face on her single bed, hugging a strange alien doll with a heart-shaped head and a blue body decorated with yellow polka dots, her favourite alien, she said. The alien's unnaturally th
It was just a matter of time to find out why Henry couldn't return to his original body, maybe Tania's family could help with this. A tinge of fear had followed Henry ever since he found his body, he was happy, delighted. But there was a strange feeling that continued to follow him like a reluctance to continue investigating himself.Henry shook his head, he had troubled Tania, even endangered the girl, there was no way she could run away or back off now. The thing he wanted the most was to be free from his half-ghost status, he wanted a clearance and now was his time to make one for himself. Investigating and finding a way back into his body was the only way, the right answer.That night after their day in the hospital, finding so many details about Henry’s life– Tania and Henry had already planned what they were going to do tomorrow. Tania was looking for information about Nathan Lee's family which, as they suspected, was very little, only a few photos were taken by news reporter
The sound of the door opening made the two of them stop groaning in frustration, Edward and Yeqiu came in with a bag of food. Yeqiu smiled and called out to Tania, telling her to choose the rice balls and the desired drink."Eh- no need," said Tania politely."It's okay, you must be hungry," Yeqiu replied, pushing a bag filled with rice balls and forcing Tania to choose. To be honest all the rice balls looked delicious in Tania's eyes."No need-" Tania's stomach voice seemed to echo in the VIP ICU room, overpowering the device that kept Henry alive.The booming voice made everyone silent for a moment. Tania's face turned red rapidly and Edward's loud laughter beat the sound of the machine installed in Henry's body for the second time.
Henry was ready to jump in, his palms clenched into fists. He was already standing behind the door and was ready to run inside his body.Tania was prepared to witness the return of the spirit into the body, something she had never seen before. She watched him with a serious expression until Henry stopped abruptly and turned to run to Tania."What are you doing?!" Tania protested in frustration.Henry quickly without asking permission came over and hugged the girl so tightly that the girl stood stiff for a moment."Thank you," he whispered right in Tania's ear, he half kneeled and hugged Tania who was standing.Tania got goosebumps hearing Henry's deep voice so close like this, for the last time, Tania cursed
"The people from the church," Tania looked up to Yeqiu and Edward."They told me Henry might be in this area but no one knows for sure where it is" Tania was amazed her brain could think of such a scenario, "I'm very close to Henry but .... He- he disappeared without any news and I-""You really search for him with that little information? Also, has it been more than a year since he last came here?" Edward added.Tania gulped, "I-" she picked at her finger, ".... I like Henry ...!" She shouted.Both Edward and Yeqiu's mouths opened in surprise."You love me?!!!!" Henry shouted too. Tania felt his cheeks turn red at the attention but this was the only sane reason she could think ...!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" said Tania in disbelief, she looked at Henry fiercely.They just missed a golden opportunity to find out where Henry is now!Tania wanted to scold Henry right now, right under this lush tree. She couldn't understand why Henry was standing still, looking like an undead, empty and filled with sorrow and lamentation.Why didn't he look happy when he found his two best friends?Tania decided to ask later, “come on,” she said while holding out her hand which only Henry looked at."Come on?" Henry repeated her words in a confused tone.Tania growled and rolled her eyes.
Henry didn't notice Tania at all. He was still focused on looking ahead with short breaths like someone who was about to have a panic attack.Tania followed the direction of his gaze that was fixed on Yeqiu and Edward."We'll go first then," Yeqiu held on to Edward to get up. It looked like her leg was sprained quite badly as Tania expected.“Yes, thank you very much!” Tania bowed many times and thanked her.After Yeqiu and Edward waved and walked quite a distance Tania came to Henry."Hey, what are you doing?" she asked worriedly.Henry was still looking straight ahead with shock and disbelief. She waved her hand several times in front of Henry
Tania's dark coloured eyes watched the figure of Henry who was walking towards her and now standing beside her.Tania couldn't talk to him yet since the kind stranger was still here.The older man's face was worried, frowning deeply.She wanted to laugh at the man's face, but for now, she had to focus on her life saviour first.It was a Woman around twenty or maybe younger than that.Her wavy black-brown hair tied into a high ponytail, she wore a casual outfit.She was beautiful, she had this mo;e under her lips that made her look elegant."Are you sure you're fine? Are you waiting for someone?"
It took about twenty-five minutes or maybe thirty minutes on the bus to get to the destination because of the traffic jams, whereas usually it only takes fifteen to twenty minutes.Tania went down first followed by Henry.Henry looked at the road to the house's complex hoping that maybe a few memories would come back if he paid close attention to the area.Maybe he used to live here, otherwise, why was he stuck in this area for so long?"This is it," Tania stopped in front of the narrow alley, where Henry had first met her.Henry walked in, the shadow of the wall blocking the scorching sun.Sweat was already on Tania's forehead while the hot sun didn't affe
"Go follow your fate and you may get the salvation you seek, boy," the little girl with a black skirt said to Henry.When the Earth and the Sky didn't accept the poor soul anymore when the boy had no idea why the world hated him so much.The boy was lost, losing his memories about his past life and why he couldn't reincarnate to the next life.He only knew his name, Henry.He wasn't even sure how old he was when he died.He was a ghost, he had no shadows. He had nobody.He walked and walked, endless.Darkness followed him, clueless and deafen
