The sun’s light entered through the reflection of the window. It made Heka’s eyes warm. He woke up and walked to the window. Then, he opened the curtains to feel the warmth of the morning sun.

It was a week since he received Soul Delivery. Finally, he felt he could live a normal life. He felt reborn.

His struggles have disappeared. He didn’t feel the pain and weakness of blood loss any more.

He took his phone, but there was no incoming message from Ansel at all. He threw his body onto the bed.

He had indeed promised himself, that he did not want to involve anything with Ansel. After he received Soul Delivery. He felt that was the best, both for him and Ansel.

Therefore, he hoped Ansel would text him once more. Since he came home, there was absolutely no news.

His cell phone rang, “Clancy…”

 “Heka can you help me?”

“Today, I had to meet Troy Cole to take the hand watch, but I can’t. I have to go to the airport to pick up my parents. Can you meet him for me?”

“Okay!!!” He immediately agreed without thinking.

“Thank you. I’ll send the location.”

***

Heka has arrived at Geiser’s Coffee and Market early at 3 pm. Meanwhile, Troy Cole would arrive at 4 pm. Next to his laptop he had ordered a croissant and a cup of red velvet latte.

He knew that he came earlier. It was better for him. He deliberated, so he had plenty of time to finish his job desk.

Waiting for an hour did feel very long, if you didn’t do anything. But not for him, one hour was a short time.

His occupation made time go too fast. He barely felt that he had spent an hour.

“Excuse me, are you Clancy's friend?” Someone greeted him, and It made Heka realize that it was 4 p. m.

"That's right, you are Troy Cole, aren’t you?"

Troy Cole sat in front of him. "Sorry for making you wait too long.”

“No.” It was true. Although Heka has been waiting for an hour, but for an editor an hour was as like as a minute for someone else.

Troy took out a box and put it on the table. Then he opened the box. “This is the couple watch that Clancy has ordered.”

Both watches were blue. It was couple watch. The female one was cyan and for the male one was navy blue. The background of the watch seemed beautiful. There was a heart shape in the middle. It surrounded by dots that look like stars.

 “Do you like it?” Troy asked while watching Heka who was focusing on the clock design made by Clancy.

“No, this is not for me. This is for his sisters wedding gift. It holds next week on September 11.”

 “Sorry, I thought that she ordered this for you.”

 “Clancy is perfect at designing everything.” Heka remembered that it has been Clancy’s hobby. She often bought custom items that she made herself.

Troy immediately said goodbye to go. “Okay then I’ll go first. Sorry I can’t stay any longer.”

“Yes please. I have to go too.” Heka returned the laptop. When he was about to stand up, Hepa saw Ansel from the window. He was not alone, there was man beside him. They seemed intimate.

Because he hasn’t seen each other for a long time. He thought it was better to say hello to him. He walked quickly towards the door.

Heka took the initiative to greet him first, “Hi, Ansel!!!”

However, he owned Ansel. Even though, he really wanted to not see Ansel again.

Unfortunately, Ansel completely ignored it. He just passed Heka as if Heka was a stranger one. Heka felt very sick being ignored by Ansel. Immediately, Heka regretted that he decided to say hello to Ansel first.

It was also something he hated. If everyone was friendly, it didn’t mean the other would be friendly, too. It was something that forced him to be nice. Meanwhile, there was a moment when no one recognized him.

But, Heka realized that he was wrong. After Ansel helped him, he seemed to disappeared and had absolutely no intention of contacting Ansel. Even though, just so to tell him how he was.

Heka turned and followed Ansel. But he stopped and when he realized the shadow in the glass, he approached the mirror and touched it. There was not his reflection at all.

“What is this? Am I dreaming? Why does my reflection not exist? Do I die?”

He watched everyone around him. Then he looked back at the glass and made sure that everyone was in the mirror, except for himself.

Heka rushed in and headed towards Ansel. He shouted to Ansel. “Ansel!! Ansel!! Ansel!!”

It was useless. Ansel seemed to think he didn’t exist. Heka tried to touch Ansel’s shoulder. He gave a witness that his hand was on his shoulder.

Ansel waved his hand. But Ansel’s hand transpierced his hand that was attached to Ansel’s shoulder. He was sure that he had touched Ansel. He could feel it. “Why does Ansel’s hand transpierced me? What exactly happened?”

Someone bumped into him and made him fall. He felt his hand hurt. He saw blood coming out of his wrist. But he didn’t care about his wound. He wanted an answer why he became the only person who realized his existence.

Heka stood up and chased the man who bumped into him. He drove a car. Heka immediately got into the car and chased after him.

Then Heka stopped when he entered the forest. He got out of the car and saw the creepy place of the forest. He felt that this was just a trap. He accidentally made Heka follow him.

Afterward, he realized that the person was on purpose. He got into the car and left the forest. He drove through the forest.

The forest was very cold. It made Heka shiver. He looked at the car window, which was slowly covered with ice. He activated the heater, so he was no longer cold.

Until he finally arrived at a luxurious and majestic mansion. The mansion caught his attention.

In front of the mansion , there was a sign. Because it was blocked by a frozen car window, he couldn’t read it clearly. He wondered who the owner of the luxury mansion was.

So Heka decided to get out of the car and look at the mansion. Suddenly, he heard a strange voice. “What’s that sound? Is it a wild animal?”

It made Heka scared and got in the car. He felt safer while inside the car. Then he turned around and drove the path he had passed.
