Chapter 12

Then I entered my house, a lot of the furniture there was destroyed and not left, there is also has some that can be saved but not maintained anymore because it has been abandoned for several days. I was very worried about the condition here, but there was no time to worry about that because there were more important things, namely my safety.

I went to my bedroom which was quite far from the kitchen, it was clever of the people to try to harm me because they used the excuse that there was an explosion coming from the kitchen. Although I clearly remembered that I had unplugged some cooking utensils so that there would be no effect from leaks or anything like that.

Events that have already happened cannot be repeated, the focus now is to be something to remember something that has been lost from my mind.

In my bedroom, the situation was not much different from what happened in the other rooms, but I did not give up and tried to find out while there was still something to investigate. Judging from what was there, it seemed that they were just trying to file the contents of this house, but not by finding out what was inside.

My belongings that had not moved from their position, the scattered items were the result of the actions that happened a few days ago, actually I still kept something that might remind me of my past with Samuel.

After searching for some time, I didn't find anything, and I couldn't get any direct clues either, because there were no things that related to my memories after I searched the room again.

"Miss! Don't stay in there too long, I'll catch up with you soon, I'm afraid the condition of the house won't last long and will endanger you."

I laughed at Johan's overly talkative behavior. I, who already felt that there was nothing there, quickly stepped out of my bedroom. But I was also annoyed because he called me Miss. He's too into his acting now.

"Ouch!"

I stumbled over something and almost fell, and it turned out to be a piece of my bedroom floor, damaged by the explosion in my house. And for some reason my heart felt like opening the damaged part. And then I uncovered the wood on the floor and found something that looked like a box.

"What is that?" I asked curiously.

I then opened more parts of the floor and found that it was indeed a storage box. I picked it up and opened the contents.

I was surprised to see that there were some photos, a necklace and a scarf neatly tucked away. Even under the scarf there were some letters and they seemed to be old memories because the color of the letters had turned a little yellow.

I wanted to read the letter now and see what photos were in it, but I decided against it and put everything into the bag I was carrying. I'd see everything later when I got back to Gerry's house.

I left with a pretty happy heart, because my search in this house didn't make me come back empty-handed. There was something that could be a clue to bring back my memories of my past with Samuel.

"Sir," Johan whispered. "Are you all right? Were you not hurt or anything while you were in the house? I see the house is in really bad shape because of the incident that happened some time ago. You really didn't get hurt, did you?"

I gave a simple smile. "As you can see, I'm fine right now. There's no need to exaggerate because I'm not that weak. But thank you for taking care of me."

"That's part of my job," Johan said. "May I ask what you are looking for in there? If you haven't found it yet, we'll help you find it."

I looked at Johan with an uncomfortable look, there was no way I could answer his question with a real answer. I didn't think it was the right thing to do, even though I had promised Gerry that I wouldn't keep anything from him.

"I don't know if it's still there or not. It's actually an item my parents left behind, but I also forgot where I put it and it may have been destroyed by the unexpected incident. But it's okay because it's just a physical form of a memory, in my opinion, in order to remember our loved ones, we don't always need objects that are used as symbols for those memories."

I deliberately reasoned this way so that Johan wouldn't think of looking for what I was looking for without my knowledge. Who knows?

"Alright then. But don't hesitate to ask me for help, because I have been appointed as your personal assistant. It is my duty to help you," Johan said. "Where do you want to go after that? Do you want to go for a walk to cheer yourself up?"

"Errr, I...."

I looked around, the weather was indeed nice, and there were also a lot of people, which means it was an old situation, and there were also a lot of entertainment places near the area. But because there were too many people, I felt reluctant to continue my journey after that.

Not without reason, but because of the ridiculous clothes on my body right now, I don't feel like traveling while I'm still wearing girl clothes like that.

Since I refused to travel any further, we returned to the mansion. Aside from the reason for wearing girl's clothes, I was also impatient to know the contents of the items I found in my room earlier. I wanted to quickly reveal what exactly was the secret of the past that I myself had forgotten.

If I knew that, I could deal with Samuel in the right way in the future, and I wouldn't be haunted by curiosity all the time.

"Next time you need something, please let me know," Johan said before closing the door to my room.

After making sure that Johan was far away from my room, I unpacked my bag and looked at the collection of papers and photos I had found earlier.

I read the letters I had found and also looked at the photos. I was very surprised because the photos contained moments when I looked very close and familiar with Samuel. Even the closeness and familiarity in the photos seemed to be more than just that of a friend.
