CHAPTER 33

VEL

I look at my own reflection in the mirror for a bit longer than I intended. I've been having a weird feeling these past few days, like I'm forgetting about something. The same feeling you feel when you are about to leave your home for a long time but you're not sure whether you already locked the door or turned the Aircon off.

The pregnancy test kit in the bathroom, I don't know why I keep drawn to it even though I know I'm not even near to pregnancy, yet. Maybe in 3 or 4 months according to dr. Jill but not now.

I have had these strange feelings since the day after we came back from our honeymoon, and I don't know what caused it.

My life is perfect right now and I have no reason to feel like this. I'm engaged to Tin, our relationship has been happy and content. Tin is getting softer and more caring to me day by day and I can feel how much he really loves me, which still puzzles me because he is a psychopath and he shouldn't be able to feel love or even care about someone else like he did to me.

But I don't know why a part of my brain keeps telling me that I should just ignore it and focus on my happiness and I kinda agree with it. There's no reason for me to not just enjoy my perfect life right now.

At that time, Tin got inside the bathroom already dressed up in his suit.

Tonight is our engagement party. Our parents are the one who arrange everything and we just need to be there. They are also the one who decided the party theme which is Black and White party. My mama is the one who came up with that theme saying it was inspired by my dark silver hair and Tin's black hair. To be fair, my hair is not white so she should pick a silver black theme, but I just don't want to bother with anything about the preparation of this party so I just keep silent.

My mama is also the one who chose our suits for tonight, a matching black and white suit and we are so grateful the suits are not hideous.

I just got out of the shower and was only wearing a towel around my waist. Tin hugged me from behind and buried his face on my neck, inhaling my pheromone.

"Tin..." I warn him, knowing what he will do next.

"I'm just enjoying my fiance's pheromone."

He won't stop with just inhaling my pheromone. We just had sex before I took a shower, and of course it's not enough for him.

"We will be late if we don't leave in half an hour." I said, but of course he didn't listen.

His hands started playing with my pierced nipples. Anything he did with my nipples would make my hole instantly get wet, and he perfectly knows it.

He flipped my body and now uses his mouth to play with my nipple, while his hand is traveling inside my towel.

I didn't fight him, didn't want to anyway. I chose to just enjoy his every touch. A second later he took off my towel, pulled down his pants and trousers and touched my hole a little to make sure it's perfectly wet, before pushing his thing in.

We end up having sex again in the bathroom. Just one round, because I stopped him from getting more. If we continue we'll be really late to go to our own engagement party.

We arrived at the venue just in time. I have to say, my mama's sense of style this time is so on point. The suits we wear are so similar yet different at the same time, there's subtle patterns on each jacket that make it unique and beautiful.

All important people in the country attend this party. Even the King and the Consort were scheduled to come. But my dad gives them a special time so their arrival won't bother the rest of the guests.

Seeing all the important people in our party, Tin told me "If I'm a new valuer terrorist, I'll bomb this place and kill as many people as possible, that sure will make a huge statement."

I almost forgot he is in fact a serial killer with 999 victims. I didn't answer him and just gave him a light punch on his arm.

He sure is not the only one who thinks like that. I can see our parents put up tight security around the venue. Police and bodyguards are guarding everywhere, metal detectors are put in every entrance, CCTV also visible in every corner.

With all the important figures that will come to this party of course we want to ensure the safety and comfort of every guest. So all of this is necessary.

Khun Jack opens the party with a speech about how happy he is about our engagement and gives me and family a lot of praise. He also said he can't wait for us to get married and give him grandchildren, which makes the guests all laugh and clap.

Next my mom also made a speech, speaking basically the same thing as Khun Jack, but at the end of his speech, she sincerely asked Tin to take care of me. Making my mama shed happy tears.

The rest of the party is basically just a big social event for the Top 1% of the country. On one table I can see the prime minister talking to a CEO of a huge start up company, another table The CEO of an airlines company talking to the minister of transportation. This place is the perfect place for anybody to make some connection with somebody and this kind of event doesn't happen often.

Our friends are also here. I saw Ten and his husband, Ping and his husband, Benz and Garfield also here. I want to talk to Garfield but it looks like he is still pretty committed to his effort to avoid me, he always goes away everytime I try to get close to him.

What surprised me the most is, I saw Tin's papa's family here. My parents are probably the one who invited them, not knowing Tin's dad hates them so much. I can see his uncle and grandma at some corner of the room. His uncle is busy talking with someone and his grandma looks totally lost without anyone to talk to. So I drag Tin to go and greet his grandma.

"Hello, grandma." I greet her first, followed by Tin doing the same thing.

She needed to adjust her glasses to see us clearly and when she saw who greeted her, her old face suddenly lit up with a smile.

"Oh God, it's the happy couple themselves." said grandma with a happy tone "Congratulations, son..."

"Thank you, grandma." said Tin with a smile.

"You are already this big, I don't even remember when was the last time I saw you."

"It's... really a long time ago..."

She looked at Tin's face closely and I could see a slight sadness in her eyes "Look at you... you have your papa's eyes...."

She slightly caressed Tin's cheek and I can see Tin totally didn't used to have any connection with his papa's family, he looked so awkward when his own grandma tried to touch him.

"Yeah... many people say that..." answer Tin.

"How are you, son? Are you healthy?" She sounds sad when she asks that.

"I'm perfectly healthy, grandma."

"Are you dreaming a lot too, like your papa?"

We both frown when she asks that. Both of us don't understand her question.

"Dreaming, grandma?" ask Tin confused.

Before grandma answers it, Tin's uncle realizes who are the people that talk to grandma, immediately jumps in to talk with us.

He just pushed grandma away, didn't even bother to say a proper congratulation and just straight up talking about investing in his company.

This is our sign to run away from him. Tin said a lame excuse and pulled me away from them before he said any word that could hold us there.

We tried to find some quiet corner just to get away from all of these people, but we are the main attraction tonight so everyone's eyes are literally on us.

We stop at the relatively empty cocktail corner, trying to just drink something in peace but as soon as we stop there a Female Omega with her Omega son comes to congratulate us. She's the wife of the Minister of Education who is now, I can see talking to my mom on the other side of the room.

We both barely paid attention to whatever she said but her son interested me. He looked at us with a very happy smile and it made me curious, so I peeked into his mind.

"I've had sex with both of them." his thought said.

Ah... that's why... And it makes me remember, his parents sent us a dating request, so I went on a date with him once. We ended up having sex at the end of the date. He has a very weird moaning voice when he climaxes and that's the only thing I remember about him.

But turn up I'm not the only one who ever had sex with him. He also had sex with Tin once, and he's thinking about it right now. It happened at one of the orgy parties Tin held before he started having a relationship with me.

This damn Omega compares my dick with Tin's dick in his mind while his mother talks seriously to us about the future of our country's education system.

I never had sex with myself so I'm not in a place to compare anything in this case, but, yes, I have to agree with him, Tin's dick is bigger and better. Yet he also said my technique is more satisfying. Well, I tried my best. I always read my partners minds every time I had sex so I can move according to their needs. And that's the secret why sex with me is always satisfying.

"I was so sure Tin would marry that special Alpha, Ten, he was with Ten the most at every orgies, and never let Ten go too far from him. When Ten got married I thought I finally had a chance, my parents sent so many dating requests but his father never accepted them. I guess he really prefers Alphas."

Ok, I think that's enough information for one mind reading. I find an excuse to run away from this mother and son duo and go look for another corner we can hide even just temporarily.

I'm not really jealous of Ten anymore, not after me and Tin get this far in our relationship.

I fully accepted that Ten was once a very important part of Tin's sex life and more than that he is still the most trusted person for Tin. The only person he can confidently call friend, and I can never replace that part of Ten importance in Tin's life.

But lately... everytime I look at Ten I just have this weird feeling that I forget something that has something to do with him. And I don't know what it's about.

Anyway, back to Tin's sex partner problem. Ten is just one person who had sex with Tin, while Tin literally has many many many other sex partners. This sex addict Enigma literally has no idea his own body count, not his murder victim body count, but his sex partner body count. And I'm convinced he has more body count in sex than in murder.

Pretty sure every single young person in this party ever had sex with Tin at least once. And also pretty sure Tin didn't remember most of them. I'll just think of it as the risk of having a relationship with the most desired bachelor in the country. He's fully mine, none of these people will be able to have sex with him now and I can totally rub that fact on their face.

Well, at least I know one person in this party who never had any sex with Tin, Ping. He had sex with me, though, so I'm pretty convinced no young people in this party haven't had sex with any of us.

Ping is walking in our direction with his pregnant husband in his arms.

"I wish I will still look that good when I'm pregnant." I whisper that to Tin as I see Nut still has his slim and tall body despite the fact that he's already 5 months pregnant.

Ping smiled when I said that, he's pretty far from us and he shouldn't hear what I said, but he has heightened sense ability and is pretty sure he heard what I just said.

"I'm sure you will also still look good, males don't have much body changes during pregnancy after all." he said as he got close enough to us.

"You are eavesdropping." I said to him.

"I'm not, you just said it loud enough that I still can hear it." he answered with a sneaky grin.

"Did Vel say something about looking good during pregnancy?" ask Nut.

"Yes, he just told me he wishes he'll look as good as you during his pregnancy." said Tin.

I hit Tin lightly on his arm when he blatantly told Nut what I just whispered to him.

Nut giggles then said "Don't worry, dear, we have to be thankful we are males. I remember when my papa was pregnant with my twin sibling he still looked as stunning as ever. My sister in-law... Oh God, she is just carrying one baby and her body is already swollen like a balloon."

"It doesn't matter anyway, for me you'll sure still look sexy even if your body is swollen like a balloon," said Tin and I totally believed him. He won't care about change as long as my hole still tastes delicious for him.

"That's so sweet..." commented Nut with an adoring eyes.

I look at Ping because something seems to bother him. He kept looking around like losing something.

I read his mind and found the answer "You smell blood?"

He immediately turned to me when I said that "Hey! You are eavesdropping?"

"You did the same just seconds ago." I answered him.

"Are you still smelling it, honey?" ask Nut.

"Yeah, it's been bothering me since a few minutes ago."

"Maybe there's some accident in the kitchen." guess Tin.

"I don't think so, there's a difference between a fresh flowing blood smell and puddle blood smell. This one is definitely puddle blood." answer Ping.

The three of us look at him with a judgemental look.

"I don't even want to know how you can differentiate all kinds of bloods." I said.

"Believe me, they smell different," said Ping.

"Let's just try to find it then." said Tin, clearly so bored with this whole party and wanting to find something else to do "Smell it away, where does it come from?"

"He said it the first time when we stood near the entrance." answer Nut.

"Yeah, it smells the strongest near the entrance." Ping added.

"Then to the entrance we go." said Tin.

The four of us walked together to the entrance door, basically ignoring everyone who tried to talk to me or Tin.

We stop near the door then Ping pointing at the receptionist desk.

"I think it's coming from there," he said.

"You sure?" ask Tin.

"Pretty sure."

The two receptionists who waited at the desk immediately stood up and greeted us, totally surprised seeing the two main characters of the party suddenly come to their desk.

I saw a huge pile of gifts behind their chairs. Whatever the cause of the blood smell, it could be coming from that pile.

"Is there any suspicious package among the gifts?" asked Tin.

"Suspicious, sir?" one receptionist asked back.

"Yeah, something that smells or feels a bit unusual." said Ping

The two receptionists look at each other for a few seconds. They were both a bit hesitant before one of them said "Well, we have one gift that appears a bit odd."

"How odd?" Tin asked.

"We don't know who it is from because it just appears on our desk without knowing who put it here. There is also no card or anything that explains where it comes from."

"Can we see it?" I ask.

One of the receptionists took out a small gift box among the big pile of gifts then gave it to us.

"It feels a bit damp for no reason..." said the receptionist.

We look at each other, and seem to have the same idea about what's inside.

"We shouldn't open it here." I said.

We move to the make up room near the entrance, close the door and lock it, before opening the box with the box cutter we borrowed from the receptionist.

"Oh, my God!!!" said Nut loudly as he looked at the thing inside the box.

It was a thumb, freshly cut and still bleeding inside the box.

TIN

We call all the necessary people to the room, the commissioner, my dad, Vel's mom and Ten. They all look shocked with our finding.

By the rules, the party needs to be ended right now and people need to get sent home before we start our investigation. But this party is not just any party, ending it early and sending everyone home will only cause confusion. Not to mention the press that gathers outside will surely pick up the situation and start sniffing around about what really happened.

We can't let anyone know that someone sent a freshly cut thumb to the engagement party of the sons from two most powerful old Alpha families that were also attended by all the important people in the country. Whoever sends this, their purpose is clear: Chaos and Panic. That's why, the most important thing is to keep this secret.

If all hosts disappear from the party, the guests will be suspicious for sure. That's why our parents will stay out at the party while me and Vel stay here with Ping and Ten.

Ten already start working with the footage from the CCTV all around the venue, trying to find any clues about whoever sent that box. Nut, who was still pretty shocked from seeing a real life freshly cut thumb, didn't want to stay in the room but he also didn't want to come back to the party without his husband. Luckily, Michael also thinks the same so he voluntarily takes Nut home and accompanies the shocked pregnant Omega until Ping finishes his business here.

Me, Vel and Ping observed the thumb while Ten busied himself with his laptop at the corner of the room.

"You think it's the Thumb Collector? they want to taunt us because we haven't managed to catch them?"

Me, Vel and Ten were eyeing each other when we heard that. More than anything, I want to tell Vel that it wasn't me, I didn't cut someone's thumb and send it to our own engagement party. But I guess I don't need to say it because the next think Vel said was:

"It's not the Thumb Collector. Whoever did this wants attention that's why they send it here, the place where everyone's attention is gathered. While the Thumb Collector never looks for anyone's attention, they always work secretly and quietly."

"Yeah, but they could just change their method now, since they've been the center of everyone's attention for a couple of months and now people start to forget them, they want to get people's attention back." said Ping.

Vel shakes his head "If anything, they will be just happy people no longer pay attention to them, even if they start killing again, they will do it in a more secretive way to make sure nobody finds them again."

"And..." I quickly speak up before Ping can answer "Based on what I see, this thumb definitely wasn't even cut by the same person."

"How did you know?" asked Ping.

"First of all, the Thumb Collector's thumbs were all being cut after the victims died, that's why there's barely any blood on the thumbs. This one is full of blood because whoever the owner was, they were still alive and breathing by the time this thumb was severed. From the cut, we can also see there's a lot of struggle. This person was definitely awake and fully aware when their thumb got cut. We are probably not looking for a dead body this time, but a living person who just missed one thumb."

Ping sighs loudly hearing our explanation "It will be so much better if this is just the Thumb Collector looking for attention."

"But they probably mean the same. This is not the Thumb Collector looking for attention, this is someone who wants us to pay our attention back to the Thumb Collector." Vel explained.

"That's... even worse..."

VEL

The party ended peacefully with no one knowing about the 'special' gift someone sent to us. The Commissioner ordered an emergency meeting at the Police Headquarter after the party ended, meaning I have to go home and wait for Tin alone at home. For the first time in a while I hate it that I don't work for the police anymore, meaning I can't join this investigation further.

I can't sleep all alone in our room while Tin is at the office leading the autopsy for the severed thumbs. So I pick up my tablet and start making a chart about whoever did this.

It wasn't Tin and I'm not being biased here. Despite the fact that Tin won't have time to do this, because he spends all of his spare time outside work with me, this person's MO is absolutely different from Tin. Like I explained at the venue, this person just wants attention while The Thumb Collector aka my beloved fiance, Tin never wants it.

I start listing my suspect who seems to have a connection with the Thumb Collector. Someone or some people probably don't like that The Thumb Collector never actually gets caught and the case is basically forgotten by the public. The family of the victims doesn't seem to fit to be my suspect here. Blue did tell me, not all victim's families want to support and protect The Thumb Collector, but he makes sure none of them has any grudge toward The Thumb Collector because like he said, all of the victims are basically trash even for their own families.

My next suspect is some New Valuer who's been loud on social media about their suspicion that The Police are protecting The Thumb Collector because they are an Alpha from an Influential family, which is 100% true, two thumbs up for them. They can absolutely send a severed thumb to the most talked about engagement party in our country to get people's attention back to The Thumb Collector.

But, it couldn't be their doing, they were mostly just some conspiracy theorist with a minimum resource. Ten was watching the CCTV and like the receptionists said the gift literally appeared out of nowhere. The person who put it on the receptionist desk was invited to the party and they put the box on the desk when it was crowded with guests coming in, the crowd protected them from the CCTVs.

Ten has speculated the person used telekinesis to put the box on the desk and that's why the box seems to appear out of nowhere. Pretty sure no New Valuer has someone with any special ability joining them, that's why the New Valuer is not possible to be my suspect here.

My suspicion now only falls to one person, Chen and his organization. I saw him and some people from his organization at the party. He probably invited himself again but no one dared to kick him out. Just glad I didn't run into him.

He knew Tin is The Thumb Collector, and he's been hugely profited from selling Tin's victims organs. But, he's been trying to tell me about Tin even though it could be dangerous for his life. Tin told me Chen has become annoying to him and his dad lately, so it's possible that he tried to get people's attention back to The Thumb Collector just to annoy Tin and his dad.

Yet, just that reason alone wasn't strong enough for him to do all of this. He will get dragged too if the police started to investigate the Thumb Collector seriously again. Unless he has any other stronger purpose, he has no reason to do this.

I stop for a moment and look at my chart. Why did I have this weird feeling that I've done this before? I feel like I was also making this kind of chart about something else but I don't remember what it is. I feel like it's important but if it's important why did I forget about it?

I look at the window and it's dawn already. Tin still hasn't come back, his last text was about an hour ago. He told me they already found out the victim's identity. The owner of the severed thumb was some low life pimp who often beat up the prostitutes he handled, even killed some of them. Another garbage in the society, just like all other Thumb Collector's victims.

They must still be at the meeting now and I'm feeling quite sleepy. So I decided to put away my tablet, take a quick shower and try to sleep. This is the first time in over 6 months I sleep alone without Tin beside me, the bed feels so empty and I can't sleep a wink. I just realized it now. I need his scent and his warmth to get me to sleep, totally like babies need their mommies.

I saw the jacket he wore at the party tonight laying around on the table. He didn't wear his jacket to the office and told me to take it home, I just left it at the table since I came home.

I pick up the jacket and hug it close to me as I lay on the bed. It has Tin's pheromone scent and I inhale the scent deeply. It's totally nothing like the owner but added with my tiredness, it's enough to get me to sleep.

I don't know how long I fell asleep but I woke up with a familiar warmth hug me from behind.

"Let go of the jacket, the real person is here already," said Tin from behind me.

I turned around and found him, laying beside me. His eyes are closed but he sure wasn't asleep.

"Welcome home." I said and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

He smiled but still did not open his eyes, he hugged me closer and said "It does feel like home now."

"Tired?" I ask while caressing his hair.

"Very"

"Did you guys catch the suspect?"

He sighs then opens his eyes looking really tired "Not yet. We managed to track his last moment and he was last seen entering The Saturn on Friday night."

"Huh? Smart." I commented.

The Saturn is the nightclub where I meet Tin for the first time. From Saturday to Thursday it was a normal nightclub where people come to drink, dance, socialize, looking for one night stands. But on Friday night, that place turned into a sexclub. People come to literally fucking anyone they want in that club. Only members can come in and we all need to sign a very strict NDA to make sure we follow every rule while we are inside the club. I myself am a member and go there a few times on Friday night.

Some of the rules are: All sexual activities need to be consensual. Everyone needs to wear a mask so no one knows anyone's identities. No phone or any kind of recording device to protect everyone members privacy and that also means no CCTV is working inside the club on Friday night.

A perfect place to make people disappear, because if they didn't come out from that club then no one will know what happened to them inside the club. Someone could kidnap them and put them inside a box while no one is looking. No footage will record anything.

"Yeah, but also annoying because they make me work on Saturday night, while I should be here, making babies with you."

I giggled hearing him say that "Then, what is the police next plan to catch this annoying person?"

"For now, what's important is to hide this from the public, make sure no one finds out an annoying person sent a severed thumb to the most high profile engagement party of the decade."

"Mmm... that must be what the Commissioner said."

"True."

"But, I kinda agree with him this time, the public will be in panic if they think the Thumb Collector has a copycat."

"Agree, it will be so annoying if people start talking about The Thumb Collector again, while he just wants to enjoy a quiet life with his fiance right now."

I smile hearing that, still can't believe that I literally engage to a former serial killer now.

"You owe Ping a thank you for this, you know, thanks to him we found the box earlier before anyone else and we can hide it just in time."

"Yeah... But, I've been thinking, it must be irritating to have Ping's ability."

"Why do you suddenly think like that?"

"I don't know, it just comes to me, hearing, smelling, and seeing everything extensively doesn't seem to feel good."

I chuckles "You speak like you know how it feels to have his ability."

"Am I?"

"Yeah, you never even care about how it feels to have my ability, now you care about Ping's."

"Well, that's because you've told me enough about how it feels having your ability and how your parents and brother are helping you to control it."

I frown and look at him "Really? I don't remember ever telling you about it."

He frowned too and thought hard for a few seconds "Weird... I also don't remember when you ever told me about it."

Both of us went silent for a second. Trying to remember when did I ever tell him about this?

In the end none of us remember. It feels like my brain telling me it wasn't important and we both fell asleep a few seconds later while cuddling.

TIN

I wake up but don't feel like I'm waking up. I was on the floor of a corridor at my main mansion. I heard voices from one of the rooms, it was dad's room. The door is opened wide enough that I can get in without needing to touch it.

I was surprised when I found my dad and my papa in front of me. My dad looks the same as always, but my papa, he looked exactly like in the picture. How can he be? Where am I right now?

"Dad... Papa..." I call them but they don't seem to see me here.

My papa looked like he was crying, sitting on the bed with a newspaper in his hand. My dad kneeling in front of him was also crying.

"12 people are killed, my love, 12 people, why? Why did you do it?" my papa said between his cries.

He was waving the newspaper in front of my dad's face. I can see the news on the frontpage: 12 Alphas Killed In A Big Fire, Cause Still Unknown.

"They deserve it." said my dad, his voice full of anger.

"No... they are not... nobody deserves to die like that."

"They were mocking you! They were calling you names!"

"It's because I was like what they said, I was a whore... I sold my body for money..."

"Don't say it like that! You have no choice, you were used by your family!"

"But I let them do it to me, I was having sex with almost half of high society members, I was a cheap whore..."

"Don't ever call yourself that!" said my dad loudly, then hugged my papa tightly.

"Please don't do this, babe... don't do this for me... I don't deserve it..." said my papa, still crying in my dad's arms.

"You deserve it... You deserve everything in this world, I will give this world for you, I will burn the whole world for you..."

Just like that, everything around me suddenly became foggy and I jolted awake in my own room.

VEL

I was woken up by Tin scream. Looks like he just had a nightmare. He was panting and trembling and sweating like he just ran a marathon.

"Are you ok? Did you just have a nightmare?" I caressed his back trying to calm him down.

"I don't know... It looks so real..." he answered with a trembling voice.

"It's ok, it's just a dream, it's not real..." I hug him while still caressing his back.

"But it doesn't look like a dream, it feels like... a memory..."

"A memory? Why do you feel like that?"

He pushed me away from the hug "I don't... I don't know why I feel like that... I was there in the dream... but like I'm watching someone else's memory."

I frown upon hearing it "I also can do that, you know, watching someone else's memory."

"Really?"

"Yeah, But I need to be awake and doing it with full concentration, and the owner of that memory needs to be in front of me."

"Then it's different from what just happened to me. What I saw was my parents' memory and I'm not even in that memory."

"Your parents? Why did you suddenly..." I stop mid sentence and touch his hands, it was cold and trembling badly "Tin... can I get you something? Your hands feel so cold."

He looked at his own trembling hands and said "Can you make me some warm milk?"

"Sure."

We move to the kitchen, Tin sitting on the kitchen counter while I heat up some milk.

I look around and I feel a strong sense of deja vu. Like something exactly like this has happened before.

Tin told me about his dream, and I have to agree it sounds more like a memory than a dream.

Then I remember what his grandma said to us at the party.

"Your grandma ask us something like 'did you dream too, like your papa?'"

"She did ask that. Do you think what I just dream has anything to do with my papa?"

"Well, first of all you were dreaming about your papa, so most probably it has something to do with him, right?"

He frowned and looked around like I just did a few minutes ago "I don't know why I have a feeling it's not the first time I dream something like this, it feels like I'm having a..."

"Deja vu?" I finished his sentence.

"Yes... like a deja vu..."

"Weird... because I feel the same..."

He rubs his temple roughly, looks like he feels some headache.

"Tin, do you think your grandma knows something about it?"

"My grandma?"

"Maybe we should meet her and ask her directly."

TIN

This is not how I imagine I'll spend the first weekend after I knot my fiance. I imagine we'll spend it at home, having sex the whole day. Not here at some old fashioned cafe waiting for my grandma who I have never talked to since I'm a kid.

It was all Vel's idea, he insisted we don't ask my dad who probably knows about all of this, and instead ask my 90 years old grandma who probably didn't have a good memory about anything.

She managed to give me her personal contact at the party last night, making sure I can contact her personally without the need to get through their family contact and alert my uncle.

I have an impression that my uncle, like my dad said, only wants to get close to me to get my money and my grandma who fully realized it doesn't like that. She really just wants to talk to me as her long estranged grandson.

Me and Vel waited here in a private room at the back of the cafe. I have a feeling this cafe has existed way before my parents were even born. The cafe building itself looks pretty old and outdated, even everything in this room also looks old. There's old radio, old telephone, old TV, the furniture and wallpaper all look old.

"This place feels more like a museum than a cafe." I said to Vel.

"Maybe that's the theme."

"Museum of when my grandparents were young?"

The room door opened as I said that. My old grandma came in, walking with her white walking cane. Looking at me with a smile. We quickly greet her politely, she answers us and tells us to sit.

"I see you two admiring my collection." said my grandma as she sat on the chair in front of us.

"You collect old gadgets?" I ask.

"I treasure old things, I want to keep their memories close. Your uncle doesn't like it and keeps telling me to throw them away, same as his father, my late husband. That's why I built this cafe secretly as a place to keep all of the memories I treasure."

She stands up and walks to a cabinet behind her. She opens one of the drawers and pulls out a very old photo album.

"Your papa's baby album." she said while giving the album to me.

Vel opened the album excitedly. The album is full of my papa's pictures from when he was a baby till he was a toddler. He was a happy kid, he smiled widely in almost all of his pictures.

"His smile is very similar to yours." said Vel while pointing out one of my papa's smiling pictures.

"I agree, I remember when you were a newborn you smiled exactly like your papa's smile when he was just born."

"Yes, he is." Vel immediately agreed "But... he smiled less when he grew up..."

Grandma smiles a sad smile "I have to agree to that too. Every time I saw you when you were a kid I was hoping I would see a glimpse of that smile again, I always miss seeing my son's smile. Not like him, I can't just dream about old memories and re-visited old moments."

We both immediately looked up to her when we heard her last sentence.

"What did you say?" I ask.

Grandma looked at us with a frown. "You don't know? Your dad didn't tell you about your papa's ability?"

"Papa didn't have any ability, he was a regular Omega."

"No, he wasn't." Grandma looked kinda offended when I said that.

"Tin's late papa was a special?" Vel ask.

"He was..." said grandma, she took a deep breath "We did hide it from the rest of the family and everyone else, I don't want my husband to exploit his ability... Only I know about it, and after he got married to your dad, he also told your dad, I assume you dad told you, that's why at the party last night, I asked if you also dream like your papa."

"What is my papa's ability?" I ask impatiently.

"Your papa was a clairvoyant dreamer, he can see the past and the future through his dream."

Me and Vel look at each other. Seeing the past? Is that what I saw in my dream last night? Am I inheriting my papa's ability?

"So... Tin's papa was able to see what possibly happened in the past and the future?" ask Vel.

"Oh, no, no, no. There's a saying that said: when a clairvoyant dreamer sees the past then it's the truth, and when they see the future..."

"... then it's certain..." I unconsciously finish her sentence.

Both Vel and grandma look at me with a confused look.

"You know about the saying?" ask my grandma.

"I don't why I feel like I've heard it before."
