I GOT THE MAP TO FALL

Chapter 16

I continued to talk: "You don’t have to feel guilty. It’s your life and it’s your decision, and I don’t have any rights to interfere in that." I said that and tried to walk away, but Dylan grabbed my hand.

"Just fight with me or curse me. Do something, but don’t go without doing something." He said on the verge of tears as I released my hand from himself and smiled at him. "I don’t have anything to say." I left from there.

Although I never loved him, my heart ached because of his state. I strongly believe that Dylan should be with Amelia. As I left the house of Dylan, I didn’t know where to go. I only know three places: Elijah’s house, Dylan’s house, and Dylan’s company. As I left Dylan, I couldn’t go to Dylan’s company, so I went to Elijah’s house.

Unfortunately, his house was locked. I don’t know what to do, so I decided to wait for Elijah outside the house. At the same time, rain started to pour. I don’t know where to stand, and I don’t have any choice other than to stand in the rain. I have been standing in the rain for more than one hour as the chill started to attack me. I found that I was struggling to breathe.

After that, I don’t know what happened. When I opened my eyes, I was in bed, and Elijah and Dylan were standing beside me.

As soon as I woke up, Dylan left the room as Elijah came near me. "What happened?" I frowned at him as he continued to talk. "I mean, what are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing," I said.

"What do you mean by nothing?" He asked me.

"If he loves Amelia, who am I to stop that?" I said as he frowned his eyebrow.

Elijah acted so differently. Like he acted, he doesn’t know anything. I don’t know what to do with him.

"Master said, You can leave him. He won’t force you to marry him. He said it dryly.

What does he mean by calling Dylan Master? What happened to him? I tried to open my mouth to ask what was going on with his behaviour. He pinched my hand. And he closed his eyes to go along with this situation as I became silent.

"Can I stay in your house?" I asked him, as he closed his eyes, to tell me he could allow me to stay here. But he had to confirm with Dylan first, so he went out to meet Dylan.

"You can stay with me. Until your mind becomes clear." He said.

I don’t know one thing—that Madison interfered with everything from the start. But Dylan acts differently, like totally. He was caring about my feelings and giving me space to decide.

After resting for two days in bed, Elijah took me out to relax. Even though I was married to Elijah in my world, I don’t feel a close bond between us. Even Eliajh didn’t talk like we were in a relationship. We both acted pretty decently, like friends.

I wanted to ask for help from Elijah, but I don’t know how. I’m afraid of getting rejected. Because it will drain my whole confidence. As the days passed, I began to converse with my neighbours. They were pretty much decent and kind towards me, and Elijah got me Far-Com.

"What I heard was that Far-Com is for wealthy people. How you..?" I felt embarrassed to ask this.

"Dylan got this for you," he said.

"But.." again Elijah interrupted.

"Don’t worry; whatever's happening, it’s for the best." He even saved your parents number," he said.

I don’t know how to think about Dylan anymore. I have started to talk with my parents. Slowly brought up the topic of fall, which I have seen in that book.

"How could you call that fall as fall? You must have heard it wrong. That is the fall that never falls. It will look like the sky is sucking the water from the fall. "Which water in the fall flows upside down" my mother said.

Ohh," I reacted as she continued to talk, "There were sayings like, Whoever dies in our world, their soul goes to the sky through that land to the sky waterfall, and our ancestors stopped every being from going to that place because it was considered a life-threatening place."

"How could you still believe it, mom?" Aren’t this feel silly?" I pretty much triggered her to talk about that place more.

"I am telling you, Valentina. It’s so dangerous to go there. Even that place exists now," she said.

"Don’t lie, mom, Where is it?" I asked her as she hesitated to tell me, but she finally said the whereabouts of that place and shared a map. To my surprise, it has roots that go into that forest too.

So, I packed everything to go there. I haven’t shared anything with anyone. Even to Elijah. In the early morning, I took some gold coins from Elijah’s house and packed food for me to eat. (I know it’s theft, but I will return it after I come back.)

I even took one Jeep from Elijah and left a letter for him to read.

I started my journey to reach that point. It was good to travel by myself. As far as the eye can see, everywhere is greenery. It was a treat for my eyes. The air was super cool, and I saw a coffee shop there. I stopped my Jeep and went there to have coffee. But weirdly, it was empty, and no one was there. I left there with disappointment.

I have set up camp in the woods. It’s not close to a forest, but it didn’t look like people were living here. I set up my campfire and tent and started to boil water. As Elijah found my letter there, he had a weird smile on his face. He went inside and made himself coffee. I know. You will go there, From here, I am going to start my game. Wait and see Valentina.
