INTIMATE TWINS
(BLANK WORLD)
EPISODE 18
WRITTEN BY AUTHOR NATHN
Celina had been carefully narrated on how the journey from the blank world miraculously ended in,side her sitting room. Cynthia never hesitated to feed her on the way about of her daughter, Amaya and others who are still in the blank world with no hope of getting out, at least not yet. All spent the night there except Pakyle and Lina who were driving home at few minutes pass 2a.m. in the night. They rode freely as if the road was made for them alone, street light reflecting on their windscreen at every point they passed each of them.
The driver’s seat suddenly became a hot seat for Pakyle as he handled the steering wheel with a hand while another rested on his chin, thinking about Mrs Kate. They had built a strong relationsh¡p, hoping to settle down after the fight with the blank world. But now that her husband is back, what’s their fate? He thought while rubbing his head haphazardly. Lina noticed his restlessness. Before she could say anything, Pakyle cell phone began to ring—Mrs Kate was calling. Lina could see it as his master picked.
“On our way back, Kate. Just few minutes” he hung up the call then resumed to his hopeless posture.
Lina glanced at him. “I know how you feel, sir. It’s not your fault”
Pakyle returned the glance, hesitating to speak immediately coz he needed to clarify Lina on seeing him with Mrs Kate in bed late that night. He cleared his throat. “About what you saw…”
“I saw nothing” she interrupted him. “Like I said, it’s not your fault, but Val’s”
Pakyle narrowed his face. “What do you mean by that?” He asked as an afterthought. “Wait, are you saying Val knew that his dad has been alive and never told the mom?”
Lina nodded.
“F-ck!” he hit the steering wheel hærdly. Quietness took over after that. “Its just so painful to see someone you thing you have a prefect match with slipping away from you.” he broke the silence.
“I understand” Lina smiled.
“What do you know? You are just 19”
“A lot” she kept smiling but suddenly spaced out through the window of the car, lost in thought. Pakyle read her mood, so rubbed her shoulder.
“Val will be fine” he let her know. Yet Lina never turned to him nor said anything. “Does he really love you or he’s just lascivious over you?” The question attracted the young girl, therefore she turned to him.
“Lascivious?” she repeated in a worrisome tone.
Pakyle struggled. “What do you expect? Both of you are still young.”
“But I don’t see any lasciviousness in him. He loves me”
“If he still does when he comes back from the blank world, I’ll believe you coz no doubt my niece, the one they call Amaya, will capture his eyes” he smiled looking at Lina.
“It’s not funny!” She frowned.
“Come one, I’m joking” Pakyle patted her shoulder. Though it must have been a joke but to Lina, it’s a one hundred percent possibility.
The door of the panic room cracked open as usual. Mrs Kate came out to see the two coming in,side at the same time. She waited if her son would come in too, but there was no sign of him. She twisted her mouth in a night gown. “Not again. Where is my son?”
Pakyle glanced at Lina before responding. “He’s trapped in the blank world. But by day break we shall be searching for the key to bring him and others out!” He added immediately to prevent the woman from shouting.
“Val was determined to save his father” Lina added. Hence, Mrs Kate wasn’t thinking about her son anymore. She lowered her voice, drew closer to the girl like a confused being she was.
“Which father?” she asked.
“Your husband. He’s the reason why Val was having the vision about the blank world. Unfortunately, he’s been shot, currently in the hospital” Lina explained.
“The death of any person from the blank world was faked” Pakyle added.
Mrs Kate gasp. “So… so.. Val has been…ah.. aware of..” She couldn’t conclude her statement then fainted.

THE NEXT DAY
The morning breeze, along with the news of the blank world circulated the wh0le city. At a balcony of Celina’s house, upstairs, Cynthia stood there to admire the beauty of the city. The morning wind, continuously blowing back her gown and hair, giving her a younger appearance. Just then, she remembered Benny then exhaled. Sooner did she see Sunday standing beside her, also admiring the beauty of the city.
“It’s beautiful” he broke the silence.
“Yes, it is” Cynthia replied. “I wish Amaya was here to see how beautiful it is, even Benny” she became emotional.
“They will be okay” Sunday encouraged her.
“What if another key isn’t found forever?” she looked at him as if the boy had an answer to the question..

A FEW HOURS EARLIER—-BLANK WORLD
Before the gate was closed permanently by Jacob, Valentine had entered into the blank world, shooting at clippers that tried to clip Amaya and Benny. He was bold, sophisticated and determined. Any clipper he shot, fell off from his horse instantly.
Seeing that, Amaya ran to him in a way she hid behind him with hands round his wa-ist like a rom-ntic hug. Yet, Val never stopped shooting at the clippers who retreated immediately, galloping back to Jessica at Kezra. Val looked at Benny who was on the floor then aimed his gun at him to shoot but Amaya shouted, “No!”
Val turned to her in a way both gazed at each other.
“He’s with us” Amaya added, gesturing at Benny.
“Where is Jesaica?” Val asked her unabashedly. Amaya couldn’t respond at the moment, but wondered who sent the handsome saviour before her…
