《Time Turner》3. Deja Vu
Advertisement
Staring at his own reflection in the mirror left him more confused. His face looked a bit different as if that face wasn't his; it looked like him alright, but it felt unfamiliar.
'Shouldn't I more mature?' He scrutinized the juvenile face closely, yet at the same time, he realized that he is 16, and the face he saw is befitting of his age. Despite that, he can't get rid of the uncanny feeling that boggles his mind.
He was sitting in a wheelchair; his head wrapped in bandages. He won't be needing the wheelchair anymore after a little over a week. The only reason he sat on it was because of his casted leg, but the doctor, none other than Zio said they were going to get rid of it tomorrow.
His body is feeling a little weak due to his injury, but nothing a little training can't fix. Also, the other reason as to why he felt so weak was he didn't move his body for a little over a month.
It doesn't matter; as long as he could channel his Aura or inner energy to accelerate his recovery, he would be good to begin some muscle training. But, there was something that made him feels unsettled. He suddenly recalled about the old man who gave him the pocket watch that he found on the nightstand.
Aurina said that, when they found him, he held onto that pocket watch tightly. He looked at the pocket watch that he believed came from the non-existent old man.
The question is, he was so sure that he had left that place after the old man pushed him out. But how come that old man and the store disappeared? And why was he found under the shop's ruin? Thinking too much about the bizarre incident left him with a headache.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Then, the door opened.
"Brother? Are you done?" Aurina's head popped in from the door. "Let's have breakfast with everyone! Afterward, I will show you around the house." Then, she stepped in to take hold of the wheelchair's handle, before pushing his wheelchair without waiting for his answer.
"You are not going to school?" Alfizar asked curiously. From what he saw, their new home clearly big, he could guess just by looking at the wide hallway. The design is just how he liked it; modern. From the open windows, he could see the beautiful garden outside; it's going to be his favorite place later.

"No, I will take a day off from school. Just for today, though," Aurina said as she continued to push the wheelchair.
While in the dining room, Henry put an envelope in front of him.
The feeling of Déjà vu hit him.
"Whoah! You've done it?"
"What is this?" Alfizar asked before he opened it. He tried to ignore that odd yet familiar feeling, but the peculiar sensation kept on bugging him.
"Of course! Who do you think you are talking to? This is your new school, Goldenfalion International Private Education Center. You and Aurin are going there next week."
"This is the enrolment documents from your new school, you might want to take a look before anything else. Goldenfalion International Private Education Center. Aurin goes there too. You can go once you are up to it."
He pulled out the school documents and a glass device that will serve as his student Identification Card with a name Alfizar Leonore above it.
"I'm going next Monday." Alfizar declared with his eyes still glued to the document.
"""What?!""" The voices of disagreement were loud.
"But you just woke up!" Henry said in surprise.
"Brother, don't rush it! Why don't you stay at home and recover first?" Aurina said, trying to persuade her brother.
"Don't push yourself! You need to recover for about a month!" Zio said almost shouting. He slammed his hand on the table to make his point across.
"But if I don't go to school, I'm going to fail the grade this year." Alfizar frowned then he mumbled, "Where is my pride as a big brother if I have to repeat a grade with my younger sister." Only then did he begin to eat the porridge.
"This is why I said to not give him the envelope yet!" Zio said as he smacks Henry upside the head. Knowing Alfizar's stubborn nature, there is no other way but to give in to him.
Henry clutched his head in pain while protested that it was not his fault if Alfizar was such a stubborn kid.
While eating his porridge, Alfizar's thought wanders back to the Deja Vu's feeling a few moments ago. He was certain that the 'Henry' from his mind said the school's name right after 'Alfizar' tore up the envelope excitedly to read the document, but what really happened was the opposite.

People said that deja vu happens because our brain made a mistake, then we felt something that happened had occurred in the past, bringing along a sense of familiarity but we don't remember it.
But what he had just experienced was something entirely different. The scene from his mind was not in the dining room but in the living room. The room in the vision looked like they have just moved in; the place looked completely unorganized, a stark contrast to this neat orderly home of his. There is no way he could see the future, right?
Even if it is the future, it looked different from the one he went through the next moment. But then again, there is always something that feels weird since he woke up from the coma.
After breakfast, Aurina began to push his wheelchair to show him around. Their new home has two floors with a contemporary and modern architecture. There was an elevator that Aurina said saved her, Henry and Zio from a lot of trouble and wasting time from climbing the stairs with bunches of boxes when they moved in.
Listening to her only made the twisted guilt bloomed in his chest again. He didn't help when they moved in. Although he knew there was nothing he could do about it, the guilty feeling won't disappear.
There were three workers in their home; a cook, a gardener, and a maid. But none of the workers lived with them. They come in the morning and go home at 7 pm.
The garden is quite big. So, since he had finally gotten rid of the cast on his left leg by annoying Zio to the extent that he removed it earlier than planned, he would have someone to help him walk around the garden for his rehab session.
Usually, it would be Henry who supports him. Just like today, Henry held his arms to support his weight, pulled him up from his wheelchair and guided him to walk around the garden.
Four days have passed since he woke up from the coma, and today was the third day of his rehabilitation. Though it was quite tough at first, it's better now.
Although he still can't walk by himself, but he was sure that he could do it with more hard work. Sure, he might be a bit thin now, but he can fix that by eating more. He swore that he will work his body back into shape! Build up more muscles!
"Slowly," Henry said as he guided him back to sat in his wheelchair. "Are you tired?" Henry asked as he gave him a bottle of water. Alfizar nods his head then began to drink the water. "I know you want to go to school tomorrow, but why don't you reconsider it? Let's wait for another week perhaps?"
"Then by next week, you would say 'Let's wait for another week~!' don't take me for a fool! I have known you for many years! What would you do if I failed this year?" Alfizar said with a frown.
"Bribe the headmaster?" Henry grinned at him brilliantly.
"You-! Argh! Whatever! You are impossible! I'm still going tomorrow." Alfizar gave up talking some sense into him. Actually, the fear of failing this year was not Alfizar's only reason. The past few days, he kept having the feeling of an impending crisis. And sometimes, it's often accompanied by something like a memory-but not.
He swore that the pseudo-memories daydream had never happened. But because of those daydreams, he could almost predict what going to be said by the other party. Those memories-like-daydreams however were not a future vision because in the vision, he was not bound to a wheelchair. Like... the accident had never happened to him in the daydream.
Alfizar gets a feeling that he was going crazy. If he told Zio, he would say "That is because you just have woken up from the coma. It's normal to have a messed-up memory and some hallucination."
