LUX: The Mr.ious Ms.tery

Chapter THREE: Bread+peanut butter+___+bread=tasty

"Once you enter LuX Academe you must change your name. It is taboo to know your real name especially your family name. For some important reason that there are persons who take good care of their reputation outside."

he precisely says while we are walking towards to something that is not far away.

"You can also use a name that is not too far enough from your original so that you can still remember a piece of you everytime."

"I'll be dealing with it for a quite time." I answer back.

"Oh, I see. Can I ask something Mr.M?"

"Sure, spill it out young lady."

"Does that carriage belongs to you? and that's what we are going to?" being curious at the same time.

"Yes, Does it look uncomfortable to ride on it. It is so cool if you own one just before my younger age. Hahaha." gently laughing.

"No, not at all. I think it is a little creepy at all. But we are living in the 21st century so atleast you can afford one."

"Hahaha. But it looks very old fashioned and it is cool to look back at my times." that line makes me curious.

I just chuckled a bit for that moment.

So I came in the carriage, at first I intended to ride at the seat beneath the driver but Mr.M says that I'm a guest. It would be a disgrace to him to let me look less elegant for I'm a lady.

As I climb through the steps of the carriage, it creeks silently that makes me nervous through my spine. Quite I feel a bit ground rather.

Mr.M followed me upon riding and as he seat properly , he took out his pocket watch on the left side of his coat.

"So we will only take 20 mins. to get there. You can rest for awhile now."

"Uhmmm. Woahh, does it really take less than an hout to get there? I thought it takes hours rather a day to spend traveling?" back to my conciousness and I'm so puzzled about this matter.

"Hahahaha. You will know all the things about this when we get there."

"Uhm. Okay." as if I would get any other chance to now more. But as the saying goes-Patience is a virtue-.

Mr.M continues to say something." By the way, can you reach for the suit case behind you."

I reach for it and pass to him but he stopped me by his hands.

"Open that one, it's my welcome present to you."

"Oh—-." As I lift the other side of it , I saw a thick red cloak with hood.

"I think it is too much for me."

"No. Just accept that. It will let you protect your entire aura and existence. Letting you to be vulnerable." he explains.

I nod as a sign of my agreement.

I never had a chance to utter a single word again for what Mr.M said ealier about knowing everything.

So I put on the cloak and it looks dazzling to me. It's my first time to have one.

I close my eyes to make me relax as well.

The journey we've got was first I feel the shaking of the seat. I think we are passing through a rocky road and suddenly become stable and a bit colder.

It feels like we are flying up in the sky together with the clouds. Some breeze pass through under my nose. Chills.

I'm stunned on my position for I don't take any action to swept the curtain at the window of the night carriage.

Striking my mind with the thought of changing or bringing up a new name.

————————————

"You remind me of something sweet. All of the fruits can be delicious at that state and also even if the chunks are plenty."he said."that serves as a clue to you."

"AND YOUR THE LOAF BREAD!" I scream. And run through the plaids.

"I think you are too smart to realize it very quickly." he amazingly utters.

"You filthy kid, I'll catch you. It suits the name better with you."he joyfully says while trying to catch me around the field.

———————————-

A tear left my eye. Drops and rolls through my cheeks.

My lips create a small smile.

A name that tells me not to hide the past and continue to face the present.

It's a mushy and a simple one. But reminds me of my dreadful days.

-J.M.L.

———————————-

Can you predict the name?

I guess, you may hit the right one.
