Chapter 5 A Pretty Rambling Soul

"Maddie, my child, I miss you so much!" Mommy is crying again. "Wake up, please! I love you, My daughter!" while Mommy unzipped the glasses that separated the two of us. Can a soul weep? Can I also cry? Can a soul feel alone? The feeling is so uncharitable! "It goes this way, Dear! The amount of time I have been involved to many wild souls is not yet enough for me to be versed with this kind of drama." Mama Vito suddenly appeared. "Mama Vito, what can we do so I can talk to my Mom? I want to comfort her!" I confronted him. "That is what we need to know. We need some brain-storming too." he shook his head. Later, Dad approached the glass barrier. "Maddie, if you can hear Daddy, I wanna say sorry! I am sorry I did not listen to you. I am sorry if I tortured you for so long. I do not deserve to be your father, Maddie! My child, I did not mean to kick you out away from home. I will not forgive myself. I should have asked you about your true feelings for Basty. I should have consulted you about the marriage. I should have cared for your feelings, my Maddie! "Dad was breaking down. "I thought you do not have a boyfriend?" Mama Vito asked after hearing my Dad's litany. "I broke up with my long-time boyfriend because I do not love him. Only Dad wants me to marry him. Our parents decided to insist on the marriage we both disagreed to pursue. I told them I had another boyfriend. And I love him! I faked it! I thought saying that lie would make me free from the marriage. But this worse scenario happened." I confessed to him. "Looks like I have an idea of what we should do." He winked at me. "What is that?" I immediately checked and my face lit up. "But I am not sure if it would work out. It is just a trial! Are you ready to try it? Find someone alive who can hear you! " He explained his plan. "I have tried that already. They cannot hear me. That is vague!" I frowned. How many times have I tried to talk to Mommy, Daddy, Jesiah, and Quinn but I failed. "Maybe they were not the right people. Try to talk to your doctor, for instance. Or to one of the nurses here. Or to the taxi driver. I might work soon, right?" Enumeration by Mama Vito while pointing to his fingers. I looked away when someone came. I will try it. There is no harm in trying. "There, try it with that man?" He directed to the one coming. "He is Basty. My ex-boyfriend." I have a weak answer. He is allowed to come into my room since the doctor advised them that they can visit me inside. "Just try it! Come on, Dear!" Ordered by Mama Vito. I middle-nodded and came near him. "Basty, !" And suddenly Basty turned around. I looked at Mama Vito and I smiled. Looks like it will be a successful try! He just took something from his pocket. He grabbed his handkerchief. He wiped away my tears. My earthly body also weeps. "Maddie, if only you had accepted me as your fiance, this wouldn't happen to you! You know, Dad is so mad at me. I might not inherit the company because of you. Wake up! Marry me and be my wife." Basty while talking to my earthly body. "Are you serious? You are selfish! You are a coward. You only think about your welfare. Then what? You will let me live a miserable life? I am on the brink of death but is that what you are going to say?" I even tried to tweak him. I touched my chest near to my heart. I can feel pain! I thought this man is good to me as a friend. But he has his agenda for me! I was right all along not to tie a knot with him. He is not the one I should marry and spend the rest of my life with. "Failed! He is still not the right one. "Mama Vito shook his head. I also tried with doctors and nurses but still, nothing happened. I am not feeling tired as I am a soul but I am feeling depressed and giving up! "I am losing hope. What should I do?" I shouted. "Hey Dear, watch your attitude! A little sacrifice will give you a huge benefit! You cannot consult a spirit medium. They need to initiate calling your soul. Unless your family would try doing that."Mama Vito walked back and forth. "I will try it again and again until it works, Mama Vito! Let s go on the street! Maybe the perfect medium is just out there." I suggested and flew around the hospital. "Go, Dear! Go, Girl!" He agreed and flew with me. And we skipped over the walls. I did my best over and over again but no one has heard my voice yet. "You know, Mama Vito, it is just nice to be like this, like a soul. Because I can do what I want. I can fly. Stumble. Penetrating the walls. I can pinpoint who is backstabbing me. Not like before. I have to be submissive to people. I should listen to what they say and obey what they want. Now, I can do what I want. "As I flew through the air. "So, you are enjoying this? You want to be a soul forever?" his assurance. "Nope! No! Of course not, I want to try more. I want to live! "I moved around in the cars moving on the road. I have seen yet another reverent soul. They still do not know what exactly the sentence is on them. They are waiting for their verdict. Waiting for uncertainty! I stopped when I saw a jewelry company. "BIJOU INFINI" as I read the name. "Do you know what that means, Mama Vito?" I asked him while pointing the company's name. He shook his head. He shakes his head. "Infinity Jewels! That is the meaning of that. My dream is to work there. But I almost spent half of my life at Dazzle Jewels Connection. Basty's family-owned Dazzle Jewels." I said numbly. Dazzle Jewels Connection competes with Bijou Infini. They are great competitors for a long time. When I learned to design jewelry, I dreamed of working at Bijou Infini. There was just really no chance for me to pursue my dream. I have to work with Basty's company because of our bullish*t relationship! I saw a man standing in front of the building. I approached him. He seems to be memorizing the building. His hands rested on his waist. I looked at his appearance. "Oh my gosh!" I was surprised. "You know him?" Mama Vito asked. "He is the man I have been looking for for a long time." I floated away from him as if I were on cloud nine. "You looked thrilled and shivered. Let me take a look at him!" And Mama Vito approached him. Then he plunged back into me. "He is handsome! More handsome compare to Basty, your ex-boyfriend. He is oozing with so much s*x appeal. He even smells good! "He also flew around. "Mama Vito, you are the one who is thrilled with him! He misplaced something and I have it. " I approached the man again. He is drop-dead gorgeous. He is heart-stopping! At last, I saw him again! I finally meet him again! The soul is still trembling! "I deserve you!" The man shouted and pointed to the building. "Oh, he looks drunk!" I said. "He has a problem!" Mama Vito while still lying down the parked car. "Maybe he got fired from work. What a pity! "I shook my head. "I will prove you wrong!" he shouted again. "What just happened?" I came near and asked him. "I am not good enough!" He replied. "Maybe you did not do enough. Just give your best. Do your damnedest." My advice to him. "I will never be the best for my Dad." He said again. "Wait, wait, can you hear me?" I smirked while asking him. "Yes! I am not deaf just drunk." He answered mutteringly. "My God! Wait, are you just fine? "I asked excitedly. "I am not fine! Bijou Infini is my world but I just seem to lose it." He threw the beer can he was holding! "That is enough, you are drunk!" I stopped him. "Yeah! I am so drunk. I hear a voice but I cannot see where it is coming from." He said and held his head. "Mama Vito, he heard me! He talked to me! "I told him. "The question is, did he really hear you or he is just hallucinating because he is drunk." He waved his hand. "I will get back to him tomorrow! And I will try to talk to him again." I felt sudden anticipation. I hope he heard me. I hope I can talk to him! I am so glad to finally meet him again. He is the man I saw at Samgyupsal Restaurant. He is the man I introduced to Basty as my fake boyfriend. He is the man who dropped the necklace.
