DARK OCEAN - (Eng.Vers) FREENBECKY

Chapter 9

In a warm embrace while looking at the stretching night sky, Freen pointed towards the dark sky full of stars, she connected the shining grains enthusiastically. Freen is explaining about her favorite constellations.

"Orion? I just heard about it. Is there an ocean-shaped constellation?"

Freen laughed, "Nothing, Patricia. Maybe you match the Ursa constellation?"

"Ursa? Is that a beautiful constellation?" Patricia actually just looked at the collection of celestial bodies without knowing what Freen meant at all, she couldn't imagine the lines that these constellations formed.

Another laugh, "Ursa is a bear-shaped constellation, there are little bears or big bears!" Ursa Minor, Ursa Major.

At that moment, Patricia let go of Freen's embrace, she immediately moved away while looking at the laughing woman in annoyance, "If I were Ursa, that means you would hunt me down!" Orion is a hunter constellation.

It all felt funny, this conversation was quite entertaining, "No, I won't hunt you. When you come, maybe I'll run fast because I'm scared." She answered that without thinking twice. Bears are fierce.

Patricia became even more angry, "So you're saying I'm terrible, huh?"

Freen was already on her feet and running fast, she even laughed when she saw Patricia who was furious. "No, no! I didn't mean it like that! The bear is white, you are white!"

Patricia heard that explanation, but she still chased after Freen quickly, "You should have said that first!"

"Well what else! You ask something else!" The sound of laughter finally filled the starry night.

....

Now, Freen has carved two constellations on the page's tiles, Orion and Ursa. The hunter and the bear. Her gaze seemed to be looking at what she had made, but her mind was reminiscing about a happy past moment. Today's starless sky means Freen can't look directly at the constellations she wants, this way Freen can relive those memories.

Pausing for a moment, Freen stared at the carving. "Orion. Ursa." The curve of her lips was not visible at all, because all this time her heart had longed again, it was suffocating. She said softly, "We've met each other. I've met you, but it wasn't easy. What should I do, Patricia?" She turned towards the closed door. Then Freen tried to stand up and ring the bell. She wanted to meet briefly, at least hoping that Rebecca would mention her name as a sign of the beginning of the meeting.

Waited a moment, apparently the door still didn't open. Freen knew, she shouldn't disturb that woman at night. Maybe it was true what her friend said, Becca was already asleep. But what can I do, Freen can't just go home and let this night pass without any results. If possible, she would wait until Jacob returned from the date. Although, maybe the man won't come home tonight. Freen had to keep waiting.

And speaking of Freen's feelings earlier, when the door closed right after Rebecca saw her, the smile she showed Jacob earlier, in fact, her heart really ached. She even whispered to herself, 'Was my mistake so fatal that she is still scared like that?'

Freen sighed as she went back to carving the constellation lines again. She pressed the bell twice, but still nothing. "I hope she's just tired, not sick. Hope she's okay." Freen recalled all the previous stories in her mind, Freen smiled slightly as she said, "Why does the atmosphere tonight feel so sad?" She didn't want to cry, Freen wouldn't be sad and look pitiful. This time she just held back the feeling of rejection in her heart, yes, the rejection she had met before.
