Chapter 27:

I remained quiet all throughout our journey to the police car,
as muffled sounds still rang loudly in my ears.


"Watch your head."


I wore no cuffs.
There was nothing movie-like.


I entered the car just like any other normal person would—
the only difference, an officer's company.


"Hello." I greeted.
The driver only nodded his head.


"We're ready to go."

"Okay."


And the engine started almost instantly.



Chapter 28:

The car took off in the flashlights of the cameras
and a cacophony of voices.


"Man~ why did this have to happen today? I wanted to take my girlfriend out on a date." The younger officer complained.


"Excuse me..."
I started, after a while.


"Huh?"


"Where are you taking me...?"
My voice came as a whisper.


"Why?"

The man on the passenger side turned in his seat,
fixing his gaze on me.

"Isn't it obvious?"


I gulped down my nervousness.



Chapter 29:

I did not dare open my mouth again.

All throughout the journey, I remained
S I L E N T a n d R E S T R A I N E D ,

captivated by my own memories
which continued to play endlessly.


In a matter of seconds,

I was transported back

to the subway station,

back to square one,

where it all began.


I relieved my experience,

my first and last meeting with her,

our first and last time seeing each other,


and suddenly,
I began to question her appearance.


Did I even see it right?
