Chapter 116 - Lisa; Sooner or Later, I Will Find The Truth (1) (1/2)
(Jane's PoV)
How many days had passed since I returned to my hometown? I wondered.
I didn't go out much. I preferred to stay at home and meditated. Three days ago, Sanji finally came and he said that he had taken a leave from his job to solve the problem regarding my father. I was really grateful for what he had done, but I was at lost when he first stepped into the house.
Even though the house my parents left me was a bit far from the other houses and it had high privacy protection -such as high fences made from bricks and stones, I was still unsure of letting him stay with me under one roof.
There were four bedrooms in this house; one was mine, one was my parents', and the other two were left for guest. Technically, I was the only one at home so three bedrooms were empty. But, I couldn't invite him in and stay with me. As much as I wanted to do so and ignored the people talking, I couldn't do it. Unless I wanted the neighbors would call the elders in the area and reprimanded me. I still had to maintain my parents' dignity and showed them that they had raised me to be a well and proper girl.
Fortunately, Sanji didn't even mention about it. After he had ensured that I was fine, he said that he would live in a rented room nearby and to call him whenever I needed him.
That was so sweet of him.
He would always come by when the sky was bright and return to his dorm when the sky had darkened. Sometimes, some of my high school friends would come. Thus, no neighbors would complain that I was being alone with him in the house. The presence of my housekeeper had also helped to lessen the curiosity of the aunties. Being a nosy auntie herself, my housekeeper was so 'generous' to explain the relationship between me and Sanji.
I learned a lot from Sanji about the other dimension, even though his information was not as specific as Siji's, but at least I knew the stereotype of these ghosts when they came out and scared people from human's perspective. While what Siji had been telling me was impressive, but that came from an adviser of White Army. Of course, he wouldn't think of these ghosts as anything dangerous since he was much more powerful than them, but Sanji was different.
Sanji's opinion on ghost was what I called 'normal reaction' for human to see ghost. Siji would never say that Kuntilanak was scary either for its laughter or weeping, Genderuwo was ugly for its strange form, or anything scary related to them. But, Sanji would say the things that human would normally notice and cause the fear inside them escalated to the point they would feel terrified.
Both of them had provided me with the best information I could ever get, but somehow I felt something was missing from it.
After several days in my hometown, I met with a young woman a few years older than me. Her name was Lisa. It was our first time meeting, but I felt like I had known this woman for years. We hit it off right away.
Even though she was older than me, she didn't like me calling her 'sister'. So, we called each other's name, which would sound rude for some people but we didn't care at all.
