Soulmates

Chapter 5

Ara should stop thinking about that.

"You will never find your soulmate."

Ara.

"Never find your soulmate."

Ara, stop.

"You don't deserve a soulmate."

Ara!

Ara snaps out from her thoughts and froze for a second. When she realises what happened, her slightly widened eyes return back to normal but looking lifeless. Ara shakes her head, as if with the action, she could throw those memories away from her head.

Thanks.

Ara continues eating her food in peace, but she could not quite enjoy it like usual. The flashes of images in her mind are mix and jumble, somehow similar to those zombies she saw in television when they sense a human, all rushing to the front line. All of the images race to the front of her mind when the wall she laboriously build around her mind started to wobble.

She frowns disturbingly.

She shakes her head slightly, wishing those images to fly away as she continue to devor her meal like a body without soul. Blankly.

After finally she finished her lunch, she instantly get out of the cafe to go home after leaving some money on her table.

Buzz.

Something vibrates in her jeans pocket capture her attention. She rummages through her black backpack to find out that her brother is calling her. With elegance swiftness, she pulls her phone out and swipes to the green button, putting it near her ear.

She stays silent, waiting for the party on the other line to speak first like usual.

"Hello, Ara?"

Her brother's normally rich voice speaks up.

"Hmm."

"Have your classes done? I'm in front of your uni. Hurry up."

With that, she hung up. And carry on with her lone and boring walk.

"Why were sticking your note on my forehead while sleeping again?" Those rich voice greet her the moment she climb the white Lamborghini car. "Couldn't you just stick it on the fridge or table or something?"

Ara turn her head to look at her big brother who is frowning with his mouth turn downwards, waiting for the answer to his question while resting his veiny, muscular arm on the car wheel. But then the unsatisfied expression turn into a concern one as his eyes roam over her face in worry, as if searching for something he dread to found on her.

Ara let out a tiny breath. Her brother always being the first person to notice when something amiss with her.

She gives a look to her brother, to which he understands instantly that there was nothing to worry about, as he nods once and turns his head to the front to drive home.
