Chapter 14: Chapter 13: A Key
"Here's your order, sir." I said while smiling. I immediately put the tray with food and drink on his table and then bowed my head at him. He nodded and smiled at me as well, I didn't wait for his response anymore and quickly walked away.
"Aliyah, you have to get the tray after putting all the orders on the table." Leviticus uttered boredly that made me smiled a bit. "I wonder what is your life in your previous world, I noticed that you're not really into this, are you a princess there?" I immediately shook my head because of his nonsense theory. If I am a living princess there, I should be happy while living with the paradise. But no, I am no princess, am just a patient who's waiting to be taken by the God.
"O-Of course not, I just don't want to interact with them, Leviticus. I'm shy, and you know, I am not really good in interacting with strangers." I responded.
"You interacted with me in your first day here, don't you remember that?" He fired back while frowning. I just smiled a bit.
"I don't have any choice back then, you're the only person I'm with. A-And can you stop bringing back the past?" I suddenly felt shy when I remember how he killed my innocent eyes because of his naked body!
"Aliyah, give this to that woman." Serene pointed the woman who look so problematic. She gave the tray with an unfamiliar color of a drink. "She's facing some problems I guess, looks like she'll drown herself tonight with hard drinks." She concernedly said that made me feel sad for the woman.
"Aliyah, the tray, don't forget it." Leviticus butted in. I looked at him exasperatingly but he just raised his right eyebrow, I just sighed and then rolled my eyes at him.
I didn't linger any longer and immediately delivered the woman's order. The woman looks so devastated. She's sad and that's so visible in her expression while staring at the table. I fakely coughed that made her looked at me and then to the tray. I smiled at her and then put her drinks on her table.
I bowed, "enjoy your drink, ma'am." She just nodded and then inmediately took the glass.
I was about to go back when I bumped into a big guy, which made me stepped back because of the impact. He immediately turned to me but I was shocked because he has no face! I suddenly felt my heartbeat went fast because right now, I am scared! His face is blurry! He's tall like a giant guy! His body is so bulky that I can't even have a short time to define it because of being horrified!
"Y-You can see me?" I don't even know how to respond to what he said because that wasn't even a question! I was so shocked that I almost dropped my jaw because of his appearance! So scary! He looks like a ghost I watch in tv shows!
"Y-Your face! Oh my G——" I was immediately cut off when he suddenly held my shoulders and that made me horrified! I don't know what to do because of his tight gripped on my shoulders! I felt like my soul had left my body because of the overwhelming fear!
"Hey, take this," using his deep voice, he handed me something that made me look at it. In his palm, there's a black key... the stem of it has a blue symbol of water like it's a droplet. It is not that long kind of key but I can sense something from it... like an energy! "I sensed an overwhelming power within you, you will be a great holder of my key, finally!" He joyfully uttered not minding my feared expression while staring at his palm.
"Aliyah, come here now!" I looked at my friend Alfalla and nodded, but when I looked back at the scary man, he suddenly disappeared right in front of me! I suddenly felt my shoulders relaxed it is because he was no longer there! I searched for him in the surrounding, but there was no trace of him! He was like a wind that just passed by!
The hair all over my body just raised because of what happened!
"Finally, a great holder of my key." I was stiffened when I heard his voice again but there was no presence of him. I don't know but my heart relaxed when I heard his voice again. Not until I hear no more except the whispers of the wind from the opened door.
I accidentally glanced at the floor and saw the familiar key there. I picked it up and examined it closely. If you look at it from the distance, it seems ordinary, but up close, its design is stunning.
"Aliyah, come on!" Alfalla shouted again that made me flinched. I immediately went to her.
"What are you doing there? Is there any problem? Is someone giving you a hard time?" She asked boyishly.
"D-Did you see the person I was talking too?" My voice seemed so bothered.
"Hey, are you okay? If someone bothering you, tell me, I'll smack him for you." I immediately shook my head and then gradually roamed my eyes in the surroundings before staring at her eyes again.
"N-No, there's no one, it's just that, I was talking to someone not until you call me, Alfalla." I nervously uttered. She frowned and then looked at the ceiling like remembering something and then looked at me again.
"Aliyah, you were not talking to someone. I called you because you seemed stunned or something." It felt like my hair raised because of what I heard from her. I don't know, but I felt even more chills from what she said.
So I was the only one who ca see him? That no face guy?
I glanced at the key I am holding. As far as I remember, that guy was talking about me who has an overwhelming power. I don't know what does he mean by that but he was talking like he was so happy because someone finally saw him! And he was talking about a great holder. Holder of what? Holder of this.. key?
