My Unconventional Lover: Seeing A Different World-Chapter 98
98 Bad News! (2)
This revelation was not what I was expecting. ๐๐ณ๐ฆe๐e๐ฏn๐ผัต๐l.๐๐๐
Seeing the sheepish smile on the ghost face made me understood why Sanji was kicking this fellow out.
I cleared my throat. โWell, since itโs still dark out there, Iโm going back to sleep now. Bye.โ Turning my body around, I waved goodbye to the ghost and human and closed the door hastily.
Let Sanji deal with the ghost!
But, before the door was closed, something blew in and held onto the door. As I turned around, I saw the ghost was there, working hard to keep the door open.
โMiss, Miss, please, hear me out first. Help me!โ He said between his gritted teeth.
I pulled back my hands and crossed it in front of my chest again. What an acting!
โEnough. Donโt act in front of me. What are you trying to do acting like that? I didnโt even use much strength to close the door, yet you look like youโre pushing a big stone. What do you want?โ
Bima, the ghost, stood upright when he heard me. A shy smile appeared on his face as he lowered his head. If he still had his body, he would probably blush in embarrassment.
.....
โDo you hate gays?โ He asked carefully. โI didnโt ask for it, you know? I also thought I was normal, that I would have a wife and two kids. But, I had no idea that the wife in my mind was actually a guy! And that I wouldnโt have kids if I were to marry a guy! Is it my fault that I fell in love with another guy? Whatโs wrong being in love?โ
In the end, he didnโt just ask, but he defended his sexuality and yelled at me as if I was the one who bullied him for falling in love with the same gender.
โAre you done?โ I asked him calmly. Maybe he was surprised with his outburst and felt guilty for yelling at me, he lowered his head in shame as he nodded his head.
โFirst, Iโm not homophobic. I have no problems with your kind. But, if a straight man doesnโt want your company, you better behave. Donโt force it!โ
โSecond, only because you were bullied because of your sexuality, it doesnโt mean all people are the same. Thereโs nothing wrong being in love. I donโt care who you love, as long as itโs not someoneโs husband which meant youโre destroying someoneโs marriage, or underage kids.โ
โNow, tell me what do you want?โ I looked at him straight at his eyes, ignoring the trembling of his body.
โI... I...โ He stuttered. His hands were reaching out to me, but before he could touch me, he was grabbed and flung far away from me.
โDonโt touch her!โ
In a second, Sanji stood in front of my door, putting himself as the unbreakable wall between me and Bima.
Bima floated back with aggrieve look on his face, but he did maintain his distance from us.
โI-I just want to stay here. I promise I wonโt disturb you.โ He said slowly.
I noticed the frown on Sanjiโs face. Objection was cleared in his face. I could understand the reason, though. But this coward was in need of a place to stay.
โTell me, do you want to live with Kuntilanak?โ I asked Bima.
His expression changed when he heard me. His already transparent body looked pale as he stepped back. His head shook quickly.
โThatโs what Sanji feels if you insist on living with him.โ
โBut, Iโm not Kuntilanak!โ Bima argued hastily.
I had the urge to face-palmed my face. โYou are Kuntilanak in Sanjiโs eyes!โ I retorted back.
Bima was left speechless. He looked at me and Sanji repeatedly. Then, he lowered his head dejectedly.
โFine.โ He mumbled as he floated away.
As he disappeared through the wall, I let out a sigh of relief. I was just about to turn around and crawl back under my blanket when I noticed Sanji was still standing with tight expression.
โWhat? Are you regretting your decision now that he left?โ I teased him.
โWhat are you talking about?โ Sanji flicked his fingers at my forehead gently. โOne of the reasons I donโt like him beside him being a gay ghost is he is sensitive towards bad news. He came here today, it must be some sort of premonition.โ Sanji explained, but the frown in his place were only getting deeper.
I raised my brows. โBad news? How come?โ During my lifetime as a horror lover, I had not heard a ghost could be a premonition for bad news.
I guessed with my new ability, I really opened a whole new world for me to experience.
But, bad news? Now that he mentioned it, I did feel something bad was coming at me.
What is it?
