It's Maura, she knew that much because her voice gave her away.

Now that she had called the words just weren’t coming out as she was drowned in nervousness.

“I….it… it’s me. We… We met today…. And you... You gave me your card.”

“Calm down Drusilla, if you could hear yourself right now, you’ll laugh so hard,'' Maura says to Drusilla who’s already at the point of tears due to her nervousness. “You must have felt worried because I didn’t say anything right?

I’m sorry.”

Drusilla, without Maura knowing, breaks out in tears that she covers her mouth so her crying can not be heard.

“Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?” Maura asks.

“Sure,” Drusilla answers speedily with excitement. When she realises the enthusiasm in her voice, she tries correcting herself to avoid making Maura think she’s weird, as it is, she already feels Maura can read her mind, and the mere thought of it makes her tremble.

Her happiness knows no bounds in making her very first friend, and she’s eager to meet

    The evening was approaching rapidly, cars honking as the street became busier than ever while everyone tried to get home early. SStreetlightswere already on as the streets of the city glowed like the stars of the galaxy, shimmering brightly to help people find their way home. "Honk!"Maura, no Drusilla hears the sound of Neon's car honking severally at the gate.She sits in the living room watching him suffer through the CCTV footage and sips wine. His access to his home has been denied three times, and if he fails it again it'll send out a call for help to the police.He takes out his phone and dials the landline.It rings, she picks up and he starts explaining. "Hello, Maura, I think something's wrong with the gate code," he says. "I can't get in, my access is being denied, can you see if it's possible to get me in from the inside?" But there's no answer, just the sound of breathing before she hangs up. Neon starts feeling troubled when the gate suddenly opens and he drives in

    Her legs are shaken, trembling as if she's been locked up in an ice room.She steps back, wondering what she had done wrong to make Neon, who's always kind to her, staring at her with so much anger.Neon walks closely, while she steps back out of fear for her dear life, she dares not anger him while she wonders how to calm him."How dare you…" He murmurs under his breath."Who gave you permission to enter my room?" Finally, it dawns on her what she's done wrong. She was never his wife in the first place, and the man right in front of her is a man who's madly in love with his wife. The pictures around the room say it all. "I…. I didn't mean to, I swear.""Then what were you doing there?""I just wanted to do some cleaning, that was it." Of course, Neon can see how badly she trembles. The woman who dared to hold a knife against him a few minutes ago was gone, and before him is but a weak woman. His anger quells before his rage could explode, he takes a deep breath, "Ha!" And calm

    Old and grey are her hair, her teeth losing a few neighbours, with wrinkles in her face. Neon stares at her confusingly and behind him to confirm if she's talking to him.In the end, he only ends up looking like an idiot as the old lady just stands there staring at him with a smile on her face. He breathes out and his shoulders slump as he smiles, he couldn't be rude to an elderly lady. "I am.""Why ish thab (why's that)?" Her missing teeth don't let her speak properly as air escapes from her gaps, carrying her words with it. "Because that woman over there." His fingers direct to the corner where Drusilla sits alone, waving back at him right after their eyes meet. "That woman over there's about to face the most difficult heartbreak of her life, she's going to get home, and finds that her husband's married to another woman.""Well I shebe jamned (I'll be damned.)

    All through their return, their journey is filled with nothing but silence. Drusilla's fighting spirit dies the moment her memories return and she holes up into a corner as she looks out the window.From when he returns the car to its owner, to their flight trip, and the drive back to Neon's house, it's nothing but silence. Neon couldn't help but feel responsible because he has a hand to play in this. "I should have told her the truth." He curses himself out of guilt. When they arrive home, like a gentleman, he hurries over to open the door, but Drusilla beats him to it as she drags herself in. Just as she's about to go in, she pauses, raises her head and looks at the magnificent building before her. "I don't belong here." She mumbles, just loud enough for Neon to hear."You can say that, but who I welcome into my house is not your choice, but mine." He answers.Before she knows it, he's taken her hand and pulls her in. "Make yourself comfortable, this is your home now." He say

    "I understand." Neon takes her hands to stop her from wiping her tears, revealing tears on her face. The embarrassed woman looks away as she starts sniffling once again. "No, you don't, I have a son and he's still with his father." "Please stay calm, I'll do what I can to help you."Before Neon could explain himself, he finds himself being pulled by the collar as Drusilla closes the gap between them.Her head tilts to the side as she widely opens one eye. "Did you say you can do something?""Yes." He says, with caution, as he proceeds to remove her hands from his shirt. "I can help you."Those words relay differently to Drusilla, echoing inside her head as it interprets into many meanings."How?" She asks. "It's simple, all you have to do is help me, to help you, to help us."Her brows furrow with irritation as his words are complicated, she chants his words in her head, trying to unravel the meaning of his words as she divides them into bits, at the end, she ends up shaking he

    "Mrs Neon, I didn't think I'd see you here." Ethan cheerfully greets her. Maura drawing near nods her head as she looks around, observing the wonderful works ongoing."Oh, well, I had to ask my husband for permission, I mean I wanted to be useful and try to regain some memories.I'm sorry if I took over your project," She says. Ethan chuckles as he brushes the back of his head, "please, allow me to guide you." A smile grows on one part of her lip as she follows him inside. She watches Ethan from behind, and thoughts of doing something crazy flood her head. If it were only the both of them alone, Maura pictures herself holding a knife, sneaking close to Ethan as he looks forward. Just as she's in close range, she'll lift her hand and dive towards Ethan with a loud yell as she stabs the knife straight into Ethan. "Ma'am…."She hears the sound of finger snaps before her face."Huh." Maura flinches as she regains herself. "We're here." "Oh wow, it's beautiful," Maura yells, only

    "Come in." Neon answers from inside. "I brought tea."With his head, he points towards his cabinet so she can drop the tea. Although he just arrived, his bed has already become a pool of papers. Nervously she looks around, her hands are sweaty as she opens her mouth and closes it, watching if Neon saw."You never told me what happened to Maura," she says.Neon Freezes mid-air, almost like he suddenly stopped functioning. "I still don't know how you are acquainted with my wife," Neon says, resuming his work. "Maura and I met several years ago when I went on a vacation. We grew close and befriended each other for three weeks." She tells him with a sad expression."You said 'for'..." slowly, Neon turns around, his ears perking as he catches her words. "The Maura I know won't easily let go of the people she calls friends." "I don't know, I got back home and tried calling but her line was unreachable." "I see, Maura went somewhere far away, we separated and she won't be coming back

    "Ah!" She sighs, as she bows her head between her legs. Today marks day two of their awkward breakfast and Drusilla has lost the voice to complain. "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have spoken to him that way in his own house," she regrets. Ever since her breakdown, Neon has been trying his best to make sure that she doesn’t feel alone, or that she doesn’t rush into doing something that she would later come to loathe herself.Although it may be a little too late for that. Druuuu~Druuuu~By her side, her phone slightly skips on the bed as it moves towards Drusilla as if it knows its master. This makes it the eleventh time the phone rang in the short span of five minutes, and the repeated sound of the phone ringing is doing its best to tick her off, especially at a time like this when she’s still bent on finding herself.She glances at the screen, frustrated.If she doesn’t answer, the phone will most likely ring again, and again, and again, until she’ll be forced to do something s

    Flashback~Cats and dogs are at bicker, as they wage war upon the earth. Houses and roofs were inhabited by people who wouldn't care less who owned the building. What everyone knows at this point, is that they have to take shelter, so they were automatically turning into house owners, as they inhabit houses who's owner they don't even know. Even if they had to share the same roof with other people.Still, while everyone took shelter, cars honked at each other. It's a good thing it wasn't sunny, otherwise, these people might have flooded the jammed road, yelling into each other's faces. However, far from their non-stop bickering, a car drives freely on the mountain highway. Maura, helps herself to the heater, as she drives without anyone needing to trouble her. "I can't hear you, honey, the signal's bad, the weather's horrible," Maura said, her eyes glued to the road, and hands clenched in the steering wheel as she drove. She wears an earpod on her right, connected to her phone

    If overwhelmed was a person then it would be Drusilla. She whispers to herself, unable to comprehend what she just witnessed. With hurry he reaches towards her, "Drusilla…" he calls out her name, just a few inches away from reaching her when she slaps his hand away. She turns around."Don't you dare say my name," she warns him a second time, her hand violently flickering in his face. The sound of air forcefully escaping her nostrils is heard as she pants heavily, her tears stroll down her red eyes, sticking her lashes together, disorienting them. The guilty man stares at his hand, his hand bright red from the slap he received, "I'm sorry."From furrowed eyebrows to gritted teeth, and finally shaking lips.Drusilla's face displays different looks within seconds until her resolve weakens and she breaks down. "You lied to me, you... you tricked me, over and over again," she tells him, counting his crimes repeatedly with her fingers. "I didn't lie to you," he tells her.Despite his

    With her hands on her mouth, as she realises the figure before, she pulls Neon’s hand and turns him towards her.Like a statue, Neon stands still, his cheek all red with small blood at the corner of his lip, she extends her sleeve to wipe away the blood, almost teary from having him protect her, and yet, she wonders what would have happened to her if she took the hit instead."How dare you disrespect my daughter in such a manner that you even get to clone her,” the angry woman explodes barely being held back, not minding the wound she’s inflicted on him.Drusilla, understanding who she was talking about snaps, now it’s her turn to protect him, as she hides him behind her back despite him being taller than her, she was going to face the woman one on one, one woman to another."I'm not a clone,” she corrects her."Oh yes you are, and you should be ashamed of yourself, you just called yourself by my daughter's name.”Silence falls upon her as she realises the woman wasn’t lying.

    It's been three days since their big argument. The fake couple goes back and forth as one tries to make amends for their foolishness, but all efforts bear no fruit. Whenever the sun would rise in the morning, Neon would disappear without a trace leaving for work before the light-headed woman would move her head from her bed. When the sun sets, he would take out his phone which he muted. His eyes would glance through the screen as he reads the inked text in his phone before putting it away.In the night, he returns like a thief and quicker than a shadow, when Drusilla is either asleep or too slow to catch him. Full of uneasiness and ticked by constant failure to catch him, she makes up her mind to wait for him all day today. To please the man, she fills the air with the lingering aroma of mouth-watering delicacy, that her nose could almost gobble up the crusts of the pie and tarts.All prepared for him as an apology.Only if he would show up. Lucky for her it's a weekend and Ne

    Shock is not enough to define what Maura feels at the moment. As she slowly drives inside, she stares at Neon who seems to have arrived much earlier than usual due to a certain someone. She pulls up her car in the parking lot and with fear turns off her engine and gets out of the car. Neon stands before the house with one arm crossed as the other stretches out to her.She knows too well what he wants as she starts walking towards him with her eyes down and cold sweat dripping down her face, guilt was written all over her as she thinks quickly of what to say. Finally, when she's close enough, her lips separate as she sighs deeply."Listen…" Before she gets the opportunity to speak, Neon holds up his hand, automatically silencing her as she chokes on her words. "The keys." He demands. Like that, she ultimately gives in to his demand as she hands over the car keys. Neon starts to walk away grumpily while she follows closely behind.Upon reaching the door, Neon opens it quickly an

    After the night when Neon and Drusilla discuss their so-called plan, Neon can't help but worry about her. If it weren't for the fact that he has work the next morning, he would have stayed home to watch after her.During this short time he's spent with her, he can tell that although shy, Drusilla can be airheaded most times, and in cases when that happens, she tends to be careless and vulnerable to her curiosity. "Sir...?" A lady at the end of the table standing next to a giant screen calls out to him.However, there's no answer and this succeeds in encouraging her to call out to him in another way. She braces herself for it as she tightly hangs on to her tablet. "Mr Neon?" She calls her boss by his name. It isn't until his name is called that he awakens from his trance and looks up. The presenter and everyone else stared blankly at him as they pondered hard on what can make their boss think so much that he shows it. "Hmm?" He questions as he notices the staff avert their gaze a

    For a while, the earth stands still as they digest the tone of the single word she uttered.Her face, like a dog ready to pounce, worries the couple. "...." They stare at her, waiting to find out who'll break the thin ice of awkwardness. Suddenly, Neon steps forward with a nervous laugh, overshadowing Drusilla as he covers their view, redirecting their gazes towards him. "Haha, forgive my wife, she's a bit sensitive to family issues, I mean we wouldn't want such a thing for our families right."Within the seconds that he manages to avert their gaze, he holds Drusilla by her shoulder and shakes her to awaken her senses. "Oh… well that's understandable." Sharon declares as she steals a glance from George, who stands guard."If there's anything we can do to help, then please, let us know, my wife and I will be more than willing to help," Neon says and he hands over his card.George, although unhappy about taking help from others, reluctantly accepts Neon's business card with his head
