The night was silent as it always is. I enter the bathroom fully naked then turn on the shower. I close my eyes as the droplets of water starting to spatter in my entire body. I listen to the drops of water dripping- one after another.
Ding!
I suddenly hear a strange sound beyond a wall.I open my eyes and saw two blank empty crystal staring back at me. I look at her from head to toe and was mesmerized how perfect her body is. Her eyes were crimson. Her hair is black as the darkness. She look so innocent; without those blank ink covering every part of her skin.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
As the water continually flowing, it started to cover my line of sight. The blank ink that I'm trying to read get blurry, and that's when I decided to take another step forward.
One step. I took one step at a time, and as I walk closer, she do the same.
One. Two. Three. Is that a name?
I get the water out of my face, and focus my gaze on that blurry name. Li- the word seems small and so I decided to take another step towards her.
Four. Five. Six. Hold a minute.
I shifted my gaze back at her eyes, as she seem getting fuzzy, and when our eyes met again, her gaze never leaves me as if she knows who I am.
So, I take few more step before I can finally read those words- word to be exact. As I read every line of ink printed, I realize that it is actually just one word.
I want to touch it. I want to feel it. I want to know the reason why does she need to undergone such torture to only have that single word covering her skin. But who is that?
Who is the owner of that word to make her ignore all the pain? Who push her to do it?
I reach my hands towards her having the urge to feel her pain. I was shock when she does the same. So, I look at her eyes and when the tip of our finger met- I remember.
