For a long time...

I once question myself; 'Do I really know myself?'

Such an ordinary question which led me back to my hometown.

It was nothing before, I thought it was a simple homesick problem but I end up going back. Meeting my friends in childhood and as well as the place where I once meet those dreams.

But today? How will I face them?

*December 1, 2019*

-the month of winter and the day of the coldest month.

Well, how do I start this?

Eherm, Uh... hi! I'm Sathella Sphinx, born in Feb. 29. Yep! Leap year. Just like what they said, those who have this birthday will get confused on when they will celebrate their birthday but somehow I always put and plan it to celebrate before the day. Tadaa! Problem solve.

So, today...well, I'm just a normal intern in a small company and they are planning to fire me just because they THOUGHT that I was the one who cause the bankruptcy of one of our major project but I wasn't it was our team leader and  now she's not here. How can I explain this to our boss now?

But there is only one thing I can do right now and that is to voluntary follow what they want even thou it hurts for me to leave. I'm happy working here and just because of someones fault it cause me to give up my work.

"Oh c'mon Sathella! Don't give up!" Cried one of my colleagues after knowing what just happen to me.

Some of them cried while others tried to stoo me and told that there must be a way to prove my innocence. But in my thought there isn't and so I told them one thing.

"Don't be sad guys. There  will be a time where going to meet again" I said as I smile even thought I only act happy. Cause, I don't want them to be sad because of this.

It might affect their work.

Hours pass by, and I'm downstair of our company. For the last time, I look up and wave my hands goodbye and quickly call a taxi and went home.

To rest... I guess.

*2 hours later*

I arrive after the taxi I was in got stuck in a heavy traffic. Never thought my bad luck will got worsen and worsen.

*sigh*

"Oh c'mon Sathe! You can do this. Its just the beginning!" I said trying to cheer up myself from being sunk down to my problems.

After trying to cheer up myself, I slowly walk to the kitchen grabing something to eat to fill up my starving stomach.

But as I get something inside the fridge, I suddenly hear a sirens voice out of no where. I look around to see if someones was inside but there isn't. I also check the door to see if someone is caroling but there isn't either and so I start to question where does the voice came from?

After thinking about it I just went to what I'm doing and ignored what I just heard.

But never did I know that it won't stop their.

Several days later, I frequently start hearing the sirens voice like its ghosting me. The fact that I don't know who it is and where it is.

"What do you want! Cause you've been keeping me awake!" I scream as I felt like I'm starting to go crazy because of this stupid noise in my head.

"Are you here to distract me?!" I ask even thou I know it won't reply back.

The voice continue in singing and singing until I felt like its getting louder and louder as the time pass by.

And all of a sudden, a vision show up in my mind.

A place... my hometown?

My grandma was also there. Why? Why does   this voice show me such indescribable past. I don't remember anything in my past, not even a single person to be frank. Only my grandma's look, father and mother.

But that's my home. The place where my life start. Where my mom and dad meet.

So, I plan to go back. Going back to my hometown.

*3 days later*

*December  4, 2019*

"Okay! Last stop!" shout the assistant of the driver after reaching my destination.

Looking around there's a lot of changes happen around me. Even thou I don't remember some of the thing. The vision I saw before shows me how it looks before.

"So many changes happen here" I murmur trying to keep myself a a low-key profile.

As I bent down picking all my bags, a pair of shoes was seen in the top of my sight and slowly I look up to see a young man staring at me.

"Uh...h-hello" I great as I see him full of awkwardness.

"You're new here?" He as and I just nod.

But after that he just simple pick some of my stuff and suddenly told me to where to go. Somehow I just stand there still looking at him with confused look.

Uh... what? I... I don't know him yet he's voluntarily doing it?

But grandma told me before that DON't ever and never talk to stranger!

"Uh...you know I can manage myself *nervous laugh*" I said trying to act like a normal person should talk.

Waiting for him to talk, my phone suddenly rang causing me to quickly excuse myself as I leave him there be.

Checking the one who calls its was my mother who is calling me. Ugh, what on earth is she going to tell this time!

I just pick it uo knowing how this conversation will be a mess up once again.

[Honey, do you have time to visit grandma?]

H-huh?

Well, I'm literary in the place where grandma is living now but...*sigh* I'll just say fine

"Sure mom"  I answer but as she start to talk, the guy that tried to help me appear once again. Causing a massive misunderstanding between me and mom.

Gosh dangit!
