Chapter 235: Ahmed’s Forgotten Past part 2 (1/2)
”Is everything okay, son?” Ahmed's father asked.
”I'm alright...” Ahmed replied while feeling a combination of anxiousness, nervousness, and fear. He's anxious because he doesn't know what will happen next, especially to his parents. He's nervous because this is his first time seeing his parents again, after losing his memories, even though he can't see their faces. And lastly, he's fearful because basing on why it's only him that got washed ashore to Eclipse village, he would most likely be seeing how his parents would die, or maybe they won't.
Hearing Ahmed's reply, his mother quickly hugged him while muttering, ”That's good, that's good, it's all thanks to the Fate God!”
”Mother, what happened to your face?” Ahmed suddenly asked. Since he can't see their faces, then he should do something to let them describe it themselves.
Ahmed's mother quickly began checking her face, seemingly looking for what's wrong with it, ”Is there something wrong?”
”Yeah... Do you always have an oval face?” Ahmed asked.
”Huh? My face has always been the shape of a heart.”
”Oh, then your nose, was it always roman?”
”Did it deformed? It must be because I bump into a wall when we were escaping.”
”Then, why is your eye deep-set?”
”Deep-set? Are you joking my boy, my eye's shape has always been almond?”
”Oh, then why is it red? Were you really worried about me?”
”How can my eyes turn red when it's black? Anyways, why are you asking me all of these silly questions? Are your eyes okay? Do you want me to bring someone to check on you?” Ahmed's mother asked worriedly.
”Just one last question.” Ahmed quickly persuaded as he noticed that his mother was trying to dismiss the conversation.
”Okay...”
”What happened to your thin lips? And did something cut your hair short?”
”Nothing happened to my thin lips and my hair has always been short!” Ahmed's mother realized that her son must just be trying to lift her mood up, ”Let's not joke around anymore.”
Ahmed's mother stood up before walking towards the bow of the boat.
Now, it was only Ahmed and his father who were still facing him.
”Father, your square face is covered in injuries.” Ahmed quickly began the same kind of interrogation to his father.
”What square face, my face has always been oblong, son! Is it perhaps my turn now to get a joke by you, hahahaha!” Ahmed's father laughed.
”Yes, hehehehe...” Ahmed acted.
”Okay, okay, hahahaha!” Ahmed's father replied, feeling intrigued.
”You have the same nose as mom?”
”Of course, we are practically of the same lineage, so of course our nose would look the same.”
”Huh?” Ahmed quickly became curious, ”So was mother your...”
”A very distant cousin from the branch of our clan. Did you hit your head or something while being escorted to the port?”
”Yes, that's why I'm making sure whether nothing is wrong with my memories. It was a pretty hard hit as well.” Ahmed replied.
”Anyways, let's joke another time, I still need to check on our supplies.” Ahmed's father waved his hand while slowly walking downstairs of the boat.
Ahmed just nodded his head in response. He had already got what he needed, so after this Consciousness Labyrinth, he could begin his search.
”Consciousness Labyrinth... What is this thing again...” Ahmed asked himself.
Outside of the Consciousness Labyrinth, Leo's eyes right after turned serious the moment he realized that Ahmed doesn't seem to know about the Consciousness Labyrinth anymore.
”I'll go check on those people in-charged with the Consciousness Labyrinth, you guys stay here!” Leo quickly bid farewell to Diana and the others, ”Blaze, I'll leave them to you for a moment.”
Blaze nodded his head in understanding. With his experience in watching people do the Consciousness Labyrinth, those words that Ahmed had said to himself are basically the start of believing that what they're seeing is the reality.
