Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - New Neighbors 2
POV - (???)
Another sad day...
In recent years, I have been haunted by depression.
The world used to be colorful and bright for me, but after "he" disappeared from my life, everything turned into a monotonous, horrible reality filled with loneliness and a feeling of incompleteness.
I miss him...
Days, weeks, years...
How many tears have I shed since "he" left?
Not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought about "him"...
Where is "he"? Is everything okay with "him"? How is "he" feeling? Does "he" remember me?
All that remains is to regret that everything turned out this way and to hope... at least once... to meet "him"...
After all, the body and spirit need change... you need to seek peace... a new place where you can at least forget the past traumas a little.
Very soon, I will leave my old home and start a new life in a new place...
In just a week, I will embark on a new stage of my future life.
What can I expect from this? I don’t know... It’s still hard for me, and past memories are still stored in my unhappy heart and want to bring back what, unfortunately, will never be there... free𝑤ebnovel.com
I am not alone, I have a family member who understands my pain and also regrets the past. It’s hard for both of us, but we deal with our accumulated emotions in different ways.
Just a few more hours... only a few hours, and we will both leave our family home, but we will take with us pleasant memories of the past and happy moments that we shared with "him"...
A few hours on the road and we will be there.
A quiet and unhurried city appears before my eyes. This is where I will spend the rest of my life.
At first glance, this town seems like the perfect place to calm down and change my usual rhythm of life a little.
Time will tell, but for now, it seems that moving to this small town was the right decision.
In just a few minutes, I will see my new home. I wasn’t nervous, just a little worried that my future neighbors would be normal people.
The car stopped, and we saw our new house, which was similar to the old one but a little bigger.
I got out of the car and began to look around at the local architecture.
There was nothing special, just a long street and a row of houses along it.
A few minutes later, we saw our neighbors. They were two young women who looked like sisters. They both greeted us kindly, and we started talking.
These two women were nice people, but talking to them was a little uncomfortable for me, as I find it difficult to have conversations with people I don’t know.
It turned out that they were mother and daughter, and that one was 55 and the other was 37... That was unexpected.
- (???). "They look incredibly young, and also... they both have large breasts, and to be honest, I envy them."
I have large breasts myself, but it’s impossible to compete with them, and they also look very athletic... enviable.
The conversation took on a more playful tone, but after a few minutes, a young woman came out who looked familiar to me.
When she came closer and showed her face, she was surprised... as was I.
- (???). "This girl... Well... That’s good news for me. I didn’t expect it, but... I was happy that we would now be neighbors."
I didn’t know she lived here, but I was pleasantly surprised to see her.
My mood instantly improved, but...
The color gray... It’s the color gray...
Most of what I see is gray. I don’t have monochromacy, and it’s all the result of certain psychological problems that appeared about ten years ago.
The doctors said that positive emotions should overcome this psychological barrier that prevents me from seeing the world in different colors, but even now... Nothing has changed.
I probably need a more vivid emotional moment!
We continued talking and were generally very happy with our new neighbors.
- (Karin). "Ha ha, yes, they are so cheerful at the moment that it makes me want to cry... Oh, here he is. Meet my favorite son, he was a little late, but he is happy to see you."
Karin stopped talking and all attention shifted to a young man who was her son.
He approached us and...
- (???). "What? You..."
The tall, handsome guy took a few steps toward us and then started to speak, but...
- (Sohen). "Good afternoon. My name is Sohen, and I’m glad to meet you..."
This guy... he wasn’t gray!
...
POV - (Sohen)
Am I still asleep? If so... I don’t want to wake up!
Opposite me... Opposite me right now...
- (???). "Sohen? Little Sohen? Is that you?"
I couldn’t move... My heart was beating wildly, and I couldn’t believe it was real...
- (Me). "Yes... It’s me... It’s good to see you... Nanako and Maria..."
My new neighbors were... Nanako and Maria.
I had dreamed of meeting them at least once. We hadn’t seen each other for twelve long years.
Nanako hadn’t changed at all and remained the same beautiful woman she had been before.
Maria, on the other hand, had changed dramatically. She used to be a small and shy child who loved to spend all her free time with me, but now she had become a younger copy of her mother.
Maria had grown up and become the beautiful girl she was meant to be.
Both beauties with long black hair and perfect figures.
It’s really ironic. Nanako and Maria are my neighbors again.
This is one of the happiest days of my life!
Nanako came closer, hugged me, and started crying. Maria, in turn, just stood nearby with a shocked look on her face.
My family was very surprised by what they saw, but I hugged Nanako and we continued to stand like that for the next few minutes.
Nanako cried the whole time, and I tried to calm her down in any way I could.
- (Karin). "Sohen? What’s going on? Why is Nanako crying? Are you two acquainted?"
- (Me). "It’s a long story, Mom. I’ll tell you later, but right now we need to calm Nanako down, okay?"
After twenty minutes, both Nanako and Maria had calmed down, and we continued our conversation.
- (Nanako). "Sohen... we haven’t seen you in so long. Maria and I missed you so much. Twelve years have passed since we last met. You’ve grown so much."
- (Me). "Yes, Aunt Nanako. It’s been a really long time. I didn’t expect to see you and Maria again."
We are now in our kitchen. Grandma made some soothing tea for Nanako and Maria, and then, when they felt better, they began to reminisce about the past and talk about the present.
For some time, I told my family about the friendship between me, Maria, and Nanako.
Sohen told them almost everything about his past life with his friends and neighbors, and then continued talking about what happened to him after he lost contact with them.
The conversation was so long that we didn’t notice how almost four hours had passed.
Nanako remembered that she hadn’t seen the inside of her new house yet, apologized to us, and returned to the car with Maria to unload her things.
My family and I helped them and learned that most of the things Nanako and Maria had left in their old house would be delivered to them soon.
We spent several hours helping with the belongings and installing small items.
In the end, my grandmother and mother, realizing that Nanako had a lot of work to do, suggested that mother and daughter have dinner at our house.
At first they were against it, but eventually agreed.
The evening was very pleasant. We told each other a lot of things, laughed, cried, but overall had a good time.
I noticed that my mother and grandmother found common ground with Nanako and talked as if they had known each other all their lives.
Maria and Phoebe also got along well with each other because... they were best friends.
I didn’t know this, but Maria was Phoebe’s only friend in school.
Phoebe had trouble getting along with people she didn’t know well, and for a while she was even bullied, so she ended up hiding herself from the world and being a loner. Maria was the exception to the rule and her only friend.
At home, Phoebe didn’t hide herself and felt comfortable among her family, but sometimes she was shy about certain things even at home.
I heard about Phoebe’s best friend several times; she often talked about her, but I couldn’t even imagine that it would be Maria, who was my friend and neighbor in the past.
During the conversation, Maria was not very talkative and spent most of the time silent with her head down, but sometimes she looked around and for some reason avoided eye contact with me, but even so... I was very happy to see her again.
Today, time passed very quickly and night fell.
We said goodbye to Nanako and Maria, then went to our rooms.
I quickly took a shower, changed my clothes, and decided to go to bed.
I will remember this day for a long time, but right now everything was wonderful.
Sohen lay down in bed and after a few minutes began to dream, but after forty minutes he heard a strange sound.
- (Me). "Hm?... What was that?
He opened his eyes slightly, but saw almost nothing except one thing... a silhouette standing in front of him.
- (Me). "Damn! Seriously? Again?"
The night visitor returned after almost a week’s vacation...
- (???). "Haah... Haah... Haah."
The dark silhouette was breathing heavily and was very excited looking at me.
Surprised, Sohen froze for a moment and continued to pretend that he was still asleep.
The night visitor just stood there for a few minutes watching Sohen, but suddenly began to move.
- (Me). "What are they doing?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Unlike the usual loss of consciousness or intimate touches, today the night visitor was behaving strangely and instead of doing something to Sohen, he just started... exploring the room?
Almost silently, the night visitor just walked around the room and seemed to be looking for something.
Five minutes passed and the movement stopped.
Sohen didn’t understand what was going on, but he heard several times that the guest was touching his personal belongings, and then there was a sound of the dark silhouette taking something, leaving something, and a few minutes later it was all over.
- (Me). "Huh? That’s it? Strange... where did she go?"
The silhouette appeared unexpectedly and disappeared just as unexpectedly.
Sohen lay in bed in surprise and was stunned by what had happened.
- (Me). "Fuck! What was that?"
His head was filled with questions, and for some time Sohen could not fall asleep, but in the end, accumulated emotional fatigue won out and he fell asleep.
