PROLOGUE
I stop walking and look behind me. I think I saw someone. And there, I saw the back of a man, walking. Hmm. It feels weird. He smells so nice. The guy isn’t that far away so I stare at his figure, intently. He’s wearing a black jacket and black denim pants. Has brown boots that I don’t know where he bought and a black cap. Is he fond of black? I gradually stop thinking about it when Anne called me.
“Oh? Are you listening, Zab? It looks like you’re not! What are you looking at the back, huh?” I glance at Anne.
“Nothing, it’s just that the guy there…” I point to the guy in a black jacket. He’s now clicking his phone.
“Huh? What guy? There’s no one out there.” Febbie said. Huh? No one? I point to the man again and told them the same thing. I don’t know what’s with him but I can say that there’s something different in him.
“Can’t you see that guy out there that wears a black jacket and brown boots?” I said while pointing my finger at the man earlier. In my peripheral vision, I saw how the man flinch.
“Where? I don’t see anyone, Zab. Maybe you’re hallucinating. Let’s go.” Anne said. But! I know what I saw! But how come they can’t see him?! Actually, it’s not the problem. It’s just that I can smell something from him, it smells like a flower but not. My nose is very sensitive to this kind of smell and it tells me that he’s no ordinary. I stop walking.
“Sorry, but you go first. I need to check something.” I said before apologizing to them. I’m glad that they let me go without asking me. I look at the guy behind me. He’s still there. I’m one hundred percent sure he heard us talking. I slowly walk in where he’s standing and I think he felt my presence so he immediately looks at my side. I think my world just stop when I saw his blue eyes. I saw how his beautiful pairs of eyes widen as he saw me walking to him.
But I got shocked when he started running away from me. I follow him despite being shocked. I frown when I saw him enter an alley but I still follow him. Unfortunately, I didn’t see him anywhere. Not in my entire life that I felt this way to someone, this is the first time that got interested in a person, especially to a man before. I felt a sudden gush of wind and I smell something familiar. It’s the same scent as earlier! I immediately look behind me when he grabs my arm and pushes me into the wall. He corners me!
“Tell me, how come you can see me?” I want to push him because his pleasant smell distracts me, but my mouth gape when he asks me a stupid question. But then I remembered what Anne said earlier.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
The fuck?! I stare at him intently and because he corners me, I can clearly see his face. Compare to my skin color, he is way whiter than me that it looks like he hadn’t gone into the sunlight for too long. Well, who’s not going to turn white if their whole body is covered up with clothes? At a first glance, I thought he’s a kidnapper or maybe a bad person. I came back from my daydreaming when he fake a cough.
“Y-yes, I-I can see you,” I saw how his azure eyes gleam. “I-is it bad?” I continue. I can’t help myself but feel nervous. The way he stares at me looks like he wants to hover over me or what. He suddenly smiles sweetly at me. Fuck! Am I thrilled?! He suddenly steps backward and nods at me. I frown when he talks.
“It’s rare, you know? What are you? Some people I know can see me unless you’re not human.” What did he say?! My mouth gape as I stare at him pathetically. Is he crazy? Or maybe he’s an escapee from a mental hospital?! That if you talk to him, he will immediately attack you and he’s going to beat you up to pulp?! Shit! I got a shiver in my spine while thinking this, fuck! But you need to be brave, Zab!
“W-what rare are y-you talking about? Really, w-what are you?” He suddenly laugh. Shit! Is he going to kill me?! Shit! No way! I love my life! You need to do something, Zab! Anything, so that I can escape! I was about to punch him when he talk.
“Glad you ask! I’m Yad! And I’m a God.”
