Heka was thinking about Ansel’s offer. It was his biggest dream. But, there was a big hesitation.
He felt guilty for leaving Ansel just like that. However, what he should do. He had to go before he let the boy entered into his life.
He has the principle not to let someone he just knew to enter into his life. Moreover, it was easy to give offer for Heka from what was shackled.
After they separated, Heka did not return straight home. He went for a walk in a park. It was not so far from the Japanese restaurant, William E Wolfe Park.
Although it was just for walking around and taking some interesting photos. it was more than enough for him to breathe fresh air. So, his mind would become clear. He would make the best decision for him. It was to accept an offer from Ansel or not.
Heka was indeed trying to find someone who could make him return to normal. But it had to fair and smooth way, not like that.
“There is nothing wrong to receive help from Ansel. Who knows that he is the only person who can get rid of my insomnia that is getting demented.”
After he remembered the character of Ansel, he became doubtful. His doubts were filled with fear. From his sight, Ansel was the kind of person who didn’t care about anything, especially the other feelings.
“Ansel, he is indeed humble and quite kind. But he looks dangerous and likes to impose his will. If the character of his grandson is like that, it is certain that his Grandpa is more sinister. I think It’s better to just let him go. So I don’t need his help to heal me.’’
He had decided that it was better to refuse Ansel's help. Therefore, he knew for sure the consequences.
For that moment, it was not easy to find a way to make him sleep easily. That opportunity would not come easily once more. His head was full of indecisiveness that never ended.
“But if I refuse it, I will lose my chance to recover. Waiting for a moment like this is impossible to reoccur once more. Maybe this is the only way to get rid of it all.”
When he was lost in his mind, his eyes suddenly fell on someone he knew. He also directed his camera to take a photo of the person.
She was Clancy. He was sitting by the lake alone. It made him feel calm, because there was something that could distract him.
Then he approached her and immediately sat beside her. “Hi, Clancy.”
“Hi, Heka.” Clancy replied.
“I don’t think you’ll come back here again after you returned to China.” He remembered that Clancy and her family had decided to return to China and settled in there forever.
“It’s true, I can't stay here long. I’m here just for a while. Maybe just a week or two, there are only a few things that need to be done.” She explained.
“Then, are you alone?” Heka asked. He didn’t see anyone around her.
“No, I’m waiting for my sister. She will be getting married. That’s why I came back here. How about you?” Clancy wondered what he was doing in the park.
“Just walking around.” He answered briefly. He couldn’t possibly tell Clancy who he had just met. After all, Clancy didn’t know him either.
“You look fine, your sleep must have returned to normal.”
He never really told everything he had gone through to everyone he knew. But, he thought about why they knew about him, including some of the treatments that he had undergone. “Really? Actually, I didn’t sleep last night.”
“Just try another treatment, who knows it will work?” Clancy said. She reminded him of the offer of help from Ansel.
For that time, he was doubtful about Ansel. Because Ansel was kind of person who was aggressive, and he was not comfortable beside him. But, it seemed like Ansel was so confident to help him.
He was on the verge of destiny. If he received help from Ansel, he would feel that he would definitely be able to sleep. But if he didn’t accept it, it meant he would never again get an opportunity like this for the second time.
“Not yet, I’m thinking about it.”
“You don’t have to think about it, but you must to do it. Take that opportunity. The most important thing for now is your health. Sleeping is very important, and your heart will not feel tight. Don’t think about anything else, the cost or what the treatment is like.” Clancy said convincingly that it was better to accept his help.
Since, he was silent, Clancy continued. “What is kind of your new treatment? Is it very expensive? Or Is it so scary?”
“I don’t know.”. He answered briefly.
Clancy tried to convince him, “You must to try it, don’t think about anything else. Your recovery, that’s the most important thing.”
Her words made Heka began to waver and his belief in accepting the offer from Ansel was slowly getting stronger. He felt Clancy had a point. For now, what he had to prioritize his recovery. And he had to put aside other things.
"Look, my sister come." Clancy said. She saw her sister. She was seen bending some dresses. It was obviously for her wedding. Their family did return to China, except for her sister.
“Hey, Heka.” Stacy said, she looked very happy. “You must to came to my wedding.”
“Okay.”
“Clancy, let’s go home. Heka, I’m sorry. We’re going home first.”
Heka just smiled without saying a word. But Clancy said to separate, “Bye, Heka.”
After they left, Heka was sitting by the lake. He wanted to wait for the sunset, after that he would go home.
Then, he received a message from Ansel.
Heka, let’s meet again. There are many things I want to talk about. It’s about your recovery, my Grandpa can do it. Tell me when your free time and where we gonna meet.
Nowadays, he felt that he had to accept for his help. Even though, he felt that there would be a big change that would happen if he did. But whatever it was, he had to accept the risk.
He felt that his Grandpa’s advice was very true. Actually, he had to avoid Ansel. This time, he decided to think about it and ignored the message. He just wanted to breathe easily before he felt his chest feel tight to breathe.
One thing he knew that it was Ansel’s Grandpa, who could heal him. He had to accept for what would happen later.
“it’s looks like I have to open the door for Ansel and let him enter my life. Meanwhile, there’s something terrifying in his hands, and maybe he will kill me.”
He was very worried and scared, but he had to do it.
