" Good morning, Emya. How are you feeling now?" Sophie asked with smile.
"I feel better," Emya replied.
At that moment, Alric adjusted his coat and spoke while heading toward the door. Mom, I'm going to the office. " Take care of Emya."
"Okay, You take care too."
Alric left the house.But instead of going to the office, he drove straight to the hospital.
Inside the doctor's room, his expression looked tense. " Doctor… what exactly happened to her?".
If this happens a second time, it could be fatal for Emya. The substance we found in her body increases the heartbeat dangerously.A drug like that doesn't always act instantly," the doctor continued. "But it's extremely harmful. Be very careful, Mr. Alric.
"Okay… thank you, doctor."
Alric left the hospital, his mind filled with confusion.Who could have done this? Other than Sophie… who else could it be?But another thought appeared.What if Emya took it herself? I should ask her about it.
---
Meanwhile, back at home, Emya sat alone in her room.She didn't speak to anyone.
When no one was around, she cried silently.
She hated showing weakness in front of others.She always wanted to appear strong.
Perfect.
But today she couldn't control herself.
Why, Sophie…?
Sophie had no family.Emya had always taken care of her like a sister.So why was she doing this?
" Without you… how am I supposed to live?" Emya whispered to herself.
---
That night, Alric returned home.Everyone acted normal.They talked and laughed as if nothing had happened.
But sometimes Emya noticed Sophie looking at him and smiling.That smile irritated her deeply.
" I don't feel well," Emya said suddenly.I'm going to my room to sleep.
" Okay, Emya," Alric replied . "I'll come in a little while."
Emya walked away slowly.Inside her heart, a painful thought echoed.
It hurts so much to realize… you are no longer mine Alric.
---
Hours passed.But Alric never came to the room.Emya tried calling him.
No answer.
Finally, she walked outside to search for him.He wasn't in any room.Then she remembered the rooftop.Maybe he was there.
When she reached the roof—She saw exactly what she expected.Alric and Sophie were together.
But this time, Emya didn't run away.Instead, she quietly took out her phone.And started recording them.
Then she called Sophie's phone.Sophie and Alric both froze when the phone rang.
" Who… who is this?" Alric asked nervously.
" Alric… don't you recognize my voice, honey?"
"It's me. Emya.What are you two doing there?
"N-nothing!" Alric stuttered.
"But honey," Emya said"I'm seeing something interesting."
Sophie stayed silent.
"Sophie," Emya continued, "why aren't you saying anything… my best friend?"
"What are you talking about?" Alric asked angrily.
Emya's voice turned cold." Can I ask something?"
"How long has this been going on?.At least I have the right to know that."
She looked directly at Sophie.
" It's okay if my husband cheated on me. Men cheat. That's not surprising."
"But you…"
"You were my best friend.How could you do this to me?"
Then Emya played the video she had just recorded. " Wow," she said slowly.
"What a beautiful moment."Should I show this to your uncle, Sophie?
"I considered you my sister.I never imagined you could betray me like this."
" Why are you silent, Sophie?"
" Say something."
Sophie slowly walked closer to her.Then she leaned toward Emya's ear and whispered coldly," You know something, my dear friend?"
"When I see you cry… it gives me peace."
"That's why I record moments like this."
"So I can watch them later."
Emya stared at her in disbelief. " You're really my best friend…?"
"Am I supposed to stay silent like a fool?"
Then she looked at Alric. " In divorce time, honey… how much alimony will you pay me?"
"But hunny you don't even have money."
"So where will you get it from?"
" You know," he said, "some people are like dust.We remove them no matter what it takes."
" Really?"
" You're right.If dust enters the eye… people start crying."
Sophie suddenly snapped." Emya! You're crossing your limits!"
" My limit?"
She stepped closer. " Do you have the courage to tell me what my limit is, bitch?"
" Anyway, carry on.I won't disturb you anymore."
But before leaving she looked at both of them. " Remember one thing.One day… I will make both of you cry tears of blood."
---
Emya turned and started walking down the stairs.
Suddenly—
Sophie ran behind her.And pushed her.
Emya's body lost balance.She fell down the stairs violently.Her body crashed against the floor.For a moment everything became silent.
Sophie didn't scream.She didn't cry.She only smiled.
Because this…
was the perfect death.
Alric stood there frozen.He didn't understand what had just happened.He only stared at Sophie.
" What are you staring at?"
"Go downstairs.Your wife will die if you leave her there any longer."
Alric suddenly ran down.He checked Emya's breathing." Thank God… she's still alive."
He quickly called an ambulance.She was rushed to the hospital.But not the same hospital as before.Everyone in the family was shocked.
"How did this happen again?"
"What will we say to Emya's family?"
Alric stood there speechless.His mind was blank.What should I do now?And then he noticed something.Sophie was gone.
---
Inside the operation theatre, Emya was taking her last breaths.Her vision slowly faded.
Was my death written like this? Did I not even have the right to choose how I die?
Alric…
If I get another life… I will love you again.
But this time… I will leave you.
I prayed for someone like you.But a man like you…Even curses don't deserve.
After that— Emya slowly closed her eyes.
---
Suddenly she heard voices.People shouting.
Noise everywhere.She slowly opened her eyes.
But she wasn't in a hospital.She was sitting in a garden.Emya looked around in confusion.Is this my last hallucination before death…?
Suddenly a voice spoke behind her.
"Why are you sleeping in the garden?"
Emya froze.
She slowly turned around.And when she saw the person standing there—
Her eyes widened.
"You…?"
" Yes, babe. It's me."
"Sophie."
"Why are you so shocked to see me?"
" What… what's the date today?"
Sophie looked confused. " What happened to you?"
"Today is 18 September… 2015."
Emya's heart stopped. " 2015…?"
That's impossible… " It was 2024…"
" Are you serious? Of course it's 2015."
Emya stared at her in shock.Her hands slowly started shaking.
I… went back…?
Back to the past…?
