Chapter Three

My eyes are full of disappointment. My eyes that are thirsty for the truth. My eyes that is gonna swell up as I try hardly not to cry too much. My eyes that are facing Neon's dishonesty.

"Answer me, Mr. Neon Silva!" I shouted

"W-we need money. They need me for their product. I am losing faith in this relationship. I am losing hope on everything." He said then he looked down. I sniffed and brush my tears with my hand. "I am depressed."

I scoffed and speak, "Is that it, Neon? Tell me, how depressed you are? How discontent you are? Will you find happiness in your decision?"

"I just need a little break from this relationship."

"Why? Is it because I am getting older? Is it because my pounds have increased? Is it because you are so full of my love?" I asked him but he didn't answer. I hit his chest as my tears are falling, "ANSWER ME, MR NEON!" I shouted at him and he hold my shoulders tightly.

"I am tired of everything, Red! I am tired of this! I am tired of this life! I am tired of this hell I am living!" he said and he released me from the tight grip of his hands on my shoulders. He looked down and speak on a soft tone, "I always sit back and decipher why my life is like this. Why did he bestowed a wonderful wife for a man who couldn't give birth. I feel guilty every time I think of it. It's every woman's dream to have a child yet I failed to accomplish it. I always get depressed by the thought of it. The thought of going to school to leave his child on kinder garden. The thought of how we are gonna grow old together with no son or daughter to take care of us. And every time I think of that, I pop a pill and remember the look in your eyes, the day you knew it." I hold his cheeks and made him reassured.

"You didn't have to go far. It's okay for me if our world only revolves into us two. I don't care because I love you." I said as he looked at my eyes but that didn't took long. Because later I knew, he smashed the door of our bedroom and never let me in. I knocked at the door many times and loud as possible. I tried screaming his name to let me in but he wouldn't listen. Why would he locked the door? Why am I prohibited from entering in?

I kicked the door and that opened it. Then I witnessed Neon who's eyes are swellingly red and there is a closed suitcase on the bed. I looked at our wardrobe that is on a pure mess. He's done packing his clothes and stuffs. He is certain of his decision.

"Neon, please." I begged him. Lately everything feels like a drama soap opera.

"Even if I have changed my mind, I still have too. I signed the contract, we don't have enough many to terminate it neither hire a lawyer. If I didn't abide the contract then you'll know what will happen. Neo-Wisdom is a big and strong company, their power is limitless and who knows what their power is capable of?" He said then he opened the first row of our drawer and grabbed the razor. He rushed towards the bathroom with the doors open. He plugged the razor and shaved his head. As the razor shave his hair, i shed a tear. He mean it. He will leave me. I will be alone. I will be depressed.

I tried to hold it back and the best way to avoid waterfalls in my eyes is to move out of the scenario. I leave him there shaving his hair as I proceed to the bedroom. I check the suitcase. There were tons of clothes but on top of it was a paper.

Fantasy Pills development #1

For 25 years of the legalization of Fantasy Pills, Neo-wisdom will have a project to improve the drug that has been the hope of the human kind for the last 25 years. This project aims to upgrade the longevity of the Fantasy Pills. The normal Fantasy Pills claims the host for 3 days while this improvement will change the 3-days longevity to 2 weeks of sleep and endless fantasy. The distribution of the Fantasy Pills won't be affected though for Fantasy Pill is an evolving medicine, once Mr. Gun turned the system for evolution.

The scope of this improvement is not for the Product's name nor for the enjoyment of the host itself. The project aims to create a new world. A new world beyond our brains. The project aims to connect the humankind by its own imagination. Indeed, human imagination is limitless but the real world offers you a huge scale of limitations or boundaries. It is also the scope of this improvement is to change the world while all is out. Earth has been infected by many issues regarding human activities and natural phenomenas. According to the vision of Neo-Wisdom, "We aim to seek change and prove that the human body and mind is capable of everything" so we are gonna change how Earth looks. Neo-Wisdom will try to revive old species that are extinct and they will also revive how the world looks before there was pollution, corruption and destruction.

Our test subject, Mr Neon Silva will be the first user of the said upgraded Fantasy Pill. He signed a waiver meaning he is capable of everything even the worst outcome. If the outcome is a flop then Neo-Wisdom will ensure the studies of his children and also his wife will receive a huge amount of death benefit from Neo-Wisdom. Neo-Wisdom will pay for the funeral of the test subject. If it is a success then the test subject will receive a huge amount of benefit and a house at Richemens Village for participating at the experiment.

Neo-Wisdom will expect further results for the experiment.

As I finished reading the statement from Neo-Wisdom, I grabbed the sweater at the top inside of the briefcase. I hugged it and smell Neon's scent. I let my nose devoured the scent because this might be the last. I tried to be optimistic of what might be the results but I keep thinking about death. Neon was the first test subject and no first lab rat have survived at the lab alive. I returned the paper to the briefcase and I closed it.

I turned around and saw Neon who's hair has been shaved bald. He looks hairless-ly clean and fresh.

"When will you leave?" I asked him

"Tomorrow morning." He answered

"Will you call me?"

"I am not allowed to communicate outside the gates once I got in."

"Did they promise you anything else?"

"Nothing besides from riches, lands, and an implant."

"Implant?"

"For us to have a child."

I smiled a little bit, "You really are serious with that."

"Yes, I am."

"When will you come back?"

"Uncertain of it."

He walked towards me and kissed me. I kissed him back. Being drunk by our kisses made us lately realize that we are laying down on the floor and kept kissing. Our lips meeting together as we undress each other. It was soft yet there were noises but still it was silent. He laid me down at the bed and I pushed the suitcase making it fall from the floor. And we touched each other from the waist up down to the bottom. Without clothes on and it was wonderful. I couldn't believe at all. Right after a rain comes a rainbow. It all made sense as we did it. This is the real fantasy. We don't need no more fancy dinner, because with this I'm already satisfied.

After it, we slept the whole evening. And when I opened my eyes, he wasn't there no more. I was all alone on my bed. He meant it. He had already left. I am alone. I am depressed.
