Chapter 8 Forgotten Memories

Today everything went as usual without any hiccups. Everyone in this city looks busy with their own activities, including Simon. Currently, he was in the room where he was painting. The room in the house contains a lot of his works and it turns out that all of them are the works he made in the last few months. On the same day, to be precise at a residence belonging to a girl who had previously come to the museum. The girl's name is Rion Antherium. Rion is a history student at a university in this city who turns out to be in the same school as Simon. He is a history buff and even all the books in his room are history books that he has collected so far. The book, from various generations, tells the past of this country and even this world. Previously he visited an ancient museum in this city to find out some information. Currently, he is dealing with a grandfather who is none other than the museum keeper and he feels strange about the child. Rion who kept asking him and the grandfather seemed to be questioning who the girl was. his look that looks serious proves that the person feels strange with Rion.
"You ask who I really am?" said Rion to the grandfather of the museum guard who was in front of him with a sharp look and immediately made the person feel intimidated.
"Yes. Who are you?"
“I'm just someone who loves history. For me, all of that is really interesting, “said Rion
"Oh, is it really like that?"
"Excuse me."
Rion then left from there and now he was heading somewhere. The museum that looked deserted then had several visitors who came after he left and it turned out that they were also history lovers who were looking for various information related to the museum. Rion, who was now walking towards a place that turned out to be a shop that bought and sold books. There, he entered the place and then saw some books that he thought were interesting and then he took the book. When he was looking at the book, suddenly a shopkeeper gave him a recommendation but it turned out that Rion was not interested. After finding a book that he thought was good, he then paid for it at the cashier. Only need to queue for a while and finally the book is already his. This time he decided to go home. On the way back to his house, he accidentally met someone who turned out to be none other than Simon. They both looked at each other and then they greeted each other.
"Sorry in advance, for making you feel disturbed," Simon said to him politely.
"No. Completely unobtrusive. By the way, are you a painter?” he asked
“Ah, that's right. how did you know that?”
“I saw him just then by the lake. After a closer look, it turns out it's you."
"Oh really? Then nice to meet you, Simon."
“Okay. I'm Rion nice to meet you too."
"Did you just leave the bookstore?"
"Correct. oh yeah, what are you doing here?”
"I just came aimlessly."
"So it seems."
The two of them were seen chatting with each other near a place that looked like a city park. There, some people were relaxing and some were doing other activities. Today is Sunday, where everyone is enjoying their free time and so is Simon who has just been walking around aimlessly then looking around. During these few days, he always spends his time painting. But not infrequently he just walks around casually without any particular intention and continues like that. after they finished talking, not long after that Rion immediately left and previously said goodbye to Simon. Quite an awkward encounter. They look like normal foreigners. On a different side, a man from three o'clock was watching the girl and then went after her. Simon, who is currently around it, himself then gets an inspiration for his later artwork. He then walked again along the place that was there and then he felt reminded of something when he saw a statue that was none other than a mannequin in a boutique in front of him. Simon paused and his eyes seemed to show something scary. He soon started to break out in a cold sweat and immediately ran from that place. Several people who saw him were astonished and kept looking at him with strange looks. When he was far from where he was, now Simon felt something strange inside him.
"Wait, why am I running?" muttered Simon
At the same time, in a place that is none other than an internet cafe. A young man was busy playing a game there and he kept winning the game. The person playing the game is none other than Dominic, who is a child from the same department as Simon but himself is a photographic artist. Inside that place, Dominic kept playing games to spend hours and is still there. A few moments later, Dominic left that place and then walked towards somewhere. When he was heading somewhere suddenly he met Rion who already knew each other.
"Rion, is that you?" said Dominic, shouting at him. Then Ron saw it too.
"Oh, you."
"Where were you just now?" he asked
"I just left the bookstore."
"You have never left a book once, have you?"
"So what? This is my favorite."
"No. It is nothing. oh yeah, do you have time?”
"Yes, what is up?"
"Wanna go somewhere?"
"Okay. As long as you're the treat."
"If it's about that you don't need to worry."
The two of them then went to a cafe and there they were seen chatting and talking about many things. Dominic is indeed a child who is fairly popular among girls because of his looks. However, he is a cold person if you don't know him. The two of them who were chatting then started saying something that was quite taboo and not a few of them started criticizing it.
"Hey, have you heard the news that's been circulating for a while?" Dominic said in a whisper.
"What news?"
"You really don't know?"
"Yes. I really don't know. What is it?"
“Some time ago there was an uproar by an influencer who turned out to be a criminal himself. You know what he did?"
"No."
"That person drank the blood of the person he just killed."
"Has that person gone mad?"
“It's been crazy. Because of that he was immediately arrested and reportedly now ends up in a mental hospital.”
"So you've always heard of news like that. I didn't think so."
"How could I not know. Everyone's talking about this. I thought you knew too."
"Too bad I don't know anything."
"What have you been up to lately?"
"I?"
"Yes. You."
“There is some science that I want to know. Because of that I went to several reliable sources and asked for information.”
"You went to the museum again?"
"Yes."
"Good grief."
“I can not be calm if my question is not found an answer. It really makes me suffer.”
"I understand."
Their conversation continued and it didn't even feel like three hours had passed. Today is quite an interesting day. Some people start to get over what happened and it's not uncommon for them to start doing things in their life. Simon is now in what is an art gallery. Some time ago, he remembered an incident and didn't know why in that shadow he couldn't remember it at all. It was as if the current him had amnesia and made him feel empty. The memories stored all this time just disappeared and he seemed to be reborn in a different condition. Not long after, Simon saw several famous paintings there. In his head, he thought what if his artwork was displayed in that place and many people fell in love with his work. inside the delusion that continued to course through his veins made him suddenly unconscious and immediately drifted into the vortex of the illusion. When he was looking around, suddenly someone came up to him and then asked him something.
“Excuse me, do you need anything?' asked the person who was none other than the clerk of this place.
“Ah, sorry. There isn't any."
"In that case, okay."
The person then left and now he was still standing in the same place before finally leaving the place. When Simon started out of the room, he accidentally saw some very beautiful sculptures and then he remembered someone. The memory mixed with the previous one and it was at that moment that his head began to spin. Simon immediately ran from that place and now he was outside the building. With a breath that looked rushed, he then looked around and found that nothing had happened. A few minutes later, Simon left there and finally arrived at the door of his house in an apartment. Simon opened the door and he entered the house. Not long after, he sat on the sofa and looked at some newspapers that were on the table. The newspapers had been there for a long time and he had never thrown them away and had never even read them. Simon who felt empty then swallowed his saliva and looked pale.
