Part 2 - The locket

Rebecca

The van is taking a long silent ride. Everyone including the driver, Mis - - err Freen, me, and the other assistant are not making any sound because we are used to how silent our atmosphere is wherever Freen is around. We don't wanna make her uncomfortable. For now, I'm entertaining myself by reading In the Parallel Side book.

I've been into these types of books since I was a kid. It's the thought that pulls me into reading more about it. I can't believe how vast the universe can be and how there are possibilities that other lives are existing on the other galaxies as where we live, the milky way is also one sort of a galaxy. It is just one among billions of galaxies in the universe where each contains billions of stars and has at least one planet orbiting that star. It's just theories that there might be possibilities of life among it, as well as the possibility of an alternative universe.

It's all weird how there are unusual things that appears unexpectedly and how there are other visuals of creature looking outside of our own planet which they say is inhabitable but the research only shows a few over billions of them so - - - -

"Make it stop'' Freen hissed with her eyes closed. I'm sitting beside her so I can see how her face crumpled looking like she's in pain. I don't understand her. What should be stopped? What is she talking about?

"What's wrong F-Freen?'' I mumbled as I leaned closer to her to check if she's just dreaming or she's got an insect biting her or she feels nauseous but she's staying still with that reaction not leaving her face.

''Stop thinking so loud'' her mesmerizing hazel brown eyes opened as she speaks. Her nose wrinkled while her brows lowered. I haven't even done anything wrong but why is she looking at me like I am at fault? Is there something wrong? Why, What and How - - - I don't understand her.

What is she talking about? What is she thinking? What's bothering her? Ughh this is the hardest part of my job, I didn't sign up for this just to be a mind or action reader of some kind but it feels like my role includes it. Oh no..... Is she tripping?

Wow now look at that, her face turned into a judging one- - she's like evaluating me with those stares again and tight sealed lips. Great, what's going on with her? Is she okay or should I knock some sense into her? I could possibly do that only if she's not my boss.

''Cute'' she muttered, tiny smiles popped up in her lips before closing her eyes back, laying her back comfortably in her seat.

Uh what was that right now? What is wrong with her and why is she so random? I don't understand... What if she's daydreaming or just - - -nah that's impossible.

Anyway she still has an interview to attend to. Maybe she's just having hallucinations because of her weariness. Her schedules are a bit tight and I know that she's not even getting enough sleep so I get it now, she should also at least get some rest. Poor Freen.

------------------------------------------------------------

It's 8 p.m. in the evening and I have to go home after the day's schedules. It was pretty exhausting but not as much as those in actuality. I'm kinda having some adjustments about the work set up since I'm the youngest employee they have and I don't want to be treated like a baby so I'm doing my hardest to be as responsible as I can.

The agency is not that far from our own house that's why it's convenient for me. I can go to work just by walking a few distances. Sometimes I go home a bit late since there are still other things to settle before the actual time out of the day, which can be considered as an overtime though.

Just as I was about to turn to the street corner, a gleam from a tiny piece of thing caught my attention. It's glowing from its place where the lamppost's light hits. I hurried to find out what the shining thing was.

It's a silver round shaped locket with a moon carved on its cover. Why is this gorgeous thing in here? Has anyone left this? I tried to look around for possible owners but there were no other people walking in the street except for me.

I opened the cover and it revealed a shining little mirror on the left side while the other side had a quote written in it. 'The universe is within you' it says. Aww this is just so pretty that I can't even take my eyes off of it. It's glowing brightly together with the light of the post.

The universe is within me

Maybe I should keep this locket by now. I'll post a poster about this one maybe tomorrow. The owner will probably look for this so I gotta make that poster fast. I put the locket in my bag as I continued to walk in the street towards our home.
