A Glimpse of Past

Chapter 11

AYNE'S POV

I decided to quickly finish all the agendas needed for the site before I might pass out. It's already 5 PM in the evening when we all finished it. Everyone said their goodbyes until Gwen and I remained in the office.

"Engineer?", Gwen called my attention.

I looked at her and forced a smile.

"A while ago, your phone kept on vibrating.", and she gave her phone using both of her hands, "Miss Anna keeps on calling you.". I opened my phone and there were 20 missed calls. What does she want?

I smirked, "She's just a mooch of mine. Don't mind her.".

After that conversation, we parted ways.

I decided to go to my mom's grave which is 35 minutes away from the site. Whenever I am tired, I always go to her place to remove all my worries and sadness governing my mind.

~^-^~

At my mom's grave.

"Hi, mom!", as I place a bouquet of assorted flowers in her grave, "I can't buy your favorite flowers today because its out of stock, but once I get back here I'll buy as many as you want.", I tearfully smiled, "Did dad visited you? Even once? I guess not. He is busy. Why even married him? Such an ass.", I sighed out of frustration. "Mom, I know you already know the answers to my questions and bothers but I'm frustrated with how I can't understand my situation. I wish you were here, guiding me, supporting me.", suddenly my warm tears fall down from my eyes as I reminisce my memories with her. Her tight hugs. Her beautifully printed smile on her face. Her bright energy , "I... I miss you, mom.".

After a few minutes, I decided to go home. But since I haven't eaten dinner yet, I parked my car in the condo and went to a nearby convenience store and bought instant ramen. I also bought 6 cans of beer to ease my worries. I'm too tired to face it up today. I opened one can of beer and drank half of it.

As I was about to walk across the street when someone grabbed my arms which, unconsciously, led me to look back. It's him. He is panting while still grabbing my arms slightly firm like he doesn't want to let it go.

"Hans?", confusingly looking at him. He slowly stands straight while still catching his breath.

"Why are you not answering your phone?!", he said irritably.... but why do I feel his sincerity?

I looked at him, even more confused and shocked from what he acts. I find my phone in one of my pockets in my pants. As I opened it, I saw how my brother, Anna and... unknown number called me multiple times.

"We have been calling you. Anna told us that she's been calling you and you are not answering, that's why she's stressing us out. Where have you been?", he scanned me and I saw how his face changed, his left eyebrow raised, "Drinking beer?", then he looked around. Well, it's empty. No one and nothing. "Alone in the street?", he smirked.

"I have a reason.", I nonchalantly said and brushed his hands off me. Then, I drank the remaining beer. "I have no energy to talk to you.", and started walking but after 10 steps, suddenly I stopped as I felt strange within my body. AM I DRUNK?! ALREADY? The things around me start moving and even appearing to my eyes as two individuals. I closed my eyes firmly and opened it slowly but I was shocked when someone appeared in front of me. I stepped back and slowly looked up.

"Why are there two versions of you?", I looked at the right side, "Hans 1 and, ", then looked at the opposite side, "Hans 2.". I laughed. "Which is real here? or is this a game? Find the difference.", my voice starts to fade away as I walked closely to him and suddenly felt sleepy.
