BIG CLUE

She felt the warmth under the tree.

"I need the space to think and silent to process"

'might as well get lost in it. It would be better than this crazy life I am experiencing' she speak and thought in her mind what she felt like saying.

The moment was just what she needed. She is slowly begin to fall asleep. When she wake up, she was still in the same place and the day changed into night.

She looked around and got up. She walked and walked without thinking anything. Her mind was completely blank but she still continued her walk. It was strange and even more strange when she regain her consciousness. She found out that in this big space there was no presence of person or animals. It was normal city but no person to be seen.

Feeling lost and alone she try to call for the voice inside her mind. She received no answer and in that moment she didn't know whether she should be relief or scared. Relief that she know longer have to hear the voice inside her mind or scared that now she was truly alone.

After a moment she suddenly felt soft stroke on her cheek. She looked up to see what it was and found a figure looking at her. The figure was pitch black shadow but she still could feel that figure smiling at her.

'Strange I used to feel scared when I saw the shadow but now I feel relief and safe' she thought to herself.

"Were you scared?"

There was pussed in the moment when the shadow spoke. The voice was completely different. There was hint of gentleness in that voice and the sound was of a woman. 'Can the voice also be describe as beautiful?' Sora thought

" I am sorry, I didn't mean to arrive late"

The shadow took her hand and creases it softly.

"You look confused my dear"

"Are you the same person who has been speaking in my mind all along"

"Yes but I cannot be describe as a person"

"What do you mean?"

"A person have choice and I don't. I exist cause you wanted me to exist. I don't have identity nor purpose in this life"

"You mean it's all my fault?"

"I wouldn't say it's your fault my dear"

"Then what is it-"

Before Sora could answer the shadow shut her up.

"I can't simply tell you what the thing is. It's your job to find it. All I can do is follow you around and be by your side"

The shadow hugged her from behind, with the arms wrapped around her shoulder.

"You want me to go somewhere"

"Then what? Don't tell me you want to spent your life here"

"That's not what I mean..." Sora looked in front and asked the shadow.

"Can you at least tell me where should I go?"

"I can't"

Having no choice Sora walked with the shadow on her back. After walking for some moment she stopped.

"Why did you stop?" The shadow asked

"I heard little children laughter"

"You must be hearing things. Look around there is no one"

"Quiet down a little bit, I said I heard then I heard"

Both of then didn't speak and there was indeed the laughter. "Let's follow the sound"

The shadow began to follow her without arguing.

"Hahahaha" there laughter was now clear. They saw the two children playing near the beach.

"Stop fooling around and catch the fish"

"I told you this isn't the place where we can catch the fish. So we should just play."

"Play play play all you think about is play. Just as you requested I came along with you to catch the fish at night and now you don't want to catch fish??"

"It's fun, don't you agree"

The children were having fun near the beach. They seem be playing with water while there fishing rod was abondent in the beach.

"Hey kids what are you doing?"

Sora saw herself talking with the kids. When she wanted to ask about it to the shadow, it was not with her. She trun back and observed the woman talking with the kids and saw the legs were floating in the air and had black smoke.

"So it was you"

Upon observation she also saw their moments to stop, it's was as if the time just stopped moving.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon"

She looked at her side and saw face up close. She jumped back and looked at her.

The woman she meet was gorgeous even though her half face was covered with face curtain. She had white and gold coloured clothing. Her eyes were as beautiful as sunset with golden colour. Her white hair was as beautiful as the pure white swan.

She hold her hand and spins her taking her to another place. The place was up in the hills, surrounded by the nature the beautiful green scenery and the water fall at distances. The weather like spring was just the perfect in the environment.

"What is this place?" Sora asked

"This place is what you desire"

"What I desire??"

"Yes didn't you wish to be here"

Sora thought for a moment and realized.

"So you meant you just made my wish come true."

"Yes but I could do it sooner since that shadow won't leave you alone so I had to play the trick on her"

"You- does that mean those children were not real"

"Exactly, given by your reaction. I think I did a pretty good job at deceiving"

The woman was pretty proud at herself.

"May I ask who are you?"

"I can't answer that question"

"Then what can you answer"

"Anything except that"

"What is my propuse in this world?"

"I can't answer that question"

"Then what can you answer"

"Anything except that"

Sora was once again disappointed.

"Oh don't be sad I can give you hint"

"What kind of hint?"

"Useful one of course" said once again feeling proud.

'her appreance and behaviour doesn't match at all' she thought

"Just tell me"

"You need to know your existence"

The woman was again feeling proud as if she had just solved the biggest case and then there was Sora who was even more confused then she previously was.

"My existence?"

"Yes"

Her brain was still not working.

'hearing her it sounds like a simplest thing then why can't I just think'

"Are you having hard time thinking about your past?" The woman asked

"Yes but how do you know"

"Your thoughts are blocked so you won't get it by just trying to remember"

"Then what should I do"

"I don't know. My job is to just help you"

"Why"

"Ugh i don't know" the woman pouted

"Don't get angry? What should I call you?"

"You can call me anything"

"Then what about juli"

"It's alright" Juli felt happy by recieving the name from Sora and Sora didn't miss this opportunity to ask questions.

"So, Juli will all my problem be solved Once I know my past"

"I don't know about that but this sure is big clue"

'A big clue huh'

"Oh Sora I forgot to welcome you in this place"

"It's ok" Sora reassure her but it doesn't work.

"No it's not"

"Welcome to the SILENT SPACE"she continued

Juli clapped her hands and suddenly it was pin drop silent even the water fall was silent.

It was truly SILENT SPACE.
