Prayer on a meteor night

On Saturday morning, the people living in the village were supposed to be resting at their homes. Instead, they walked around the village. To find Lin, a 9 year old girl who has disappeared. It's only natural that when a neighbor's daughter disappears, how can they let them live happily?

“How are you? Did you see it?” one man said.

“I haven't found it that way yet. How are you?” another neighbor shouted back.

The search was continued by the elders, and the young boy, Tee, thought it would be fun to explore the village to find people, so he asked his father to come out as well. But after some time had passed, walking around in the village It became boring for the 9 year old boy, so he decided to ask his father's permission. Go play in the village park.

“Sigh! I'm crazy tired so I want to go home and lie down. But if I ask to go back now, I'm sure I'll be scolded. I'm the one who asked to come out.” Thu sat and complained to himself. that he made a huge mistake by asking to follow his father out It was not fun at all and very tiring. He lies down and watches television. Or is it better to play games at home?

“What is that noise?” he shouted as he heard something coming from the nearby bushes.

Tee walked over and looked at the bush, fearing that it might be a poisonous animal. Or it might be something supernatural. But curiosity overpowered fear and he walked closer and closer to the bush. Then he stopped and stood only a few steps away from the bushes. “What's going on?” the boy thought to himself.

"Hoy! Lin, what are you doing here?” he exclaimed in surprise.

“K..is W..wa.”

He found that there was nothing scary behind the bushes, but rather Lin, the girl who had disappeared. The little boy made a decision. He brought the neighbor girl out of the bushes to deliver her to the elders.

“Come on, everyone else is looking for you in the whole village, you know that?”

“I won't go, let me go.” Lin shook his hand and said. “You mustn't tell anyone. That I am hiding here, do you understand?”

“Are you crazy after being gone from home for this long?”

“K…well, please help me. I have to hide from them.”

The boy thought about what he should do. “Is it good to help?” he thought to himself. “If I help, will I get scolded? But really, hide and seek is fun. I can help you.” Tee thought about it and decided to help Lin hide from the elders who were looking for her.

In the morning they hid from the adults in the park. This incident allowed Tee to play with new friends. In Tee Lin's opinion, she was more cheerful than her friends in the village. It makes playing with her very fun. As time passed into the afternoon, Thee felt that both he and Lin You should go home now.

“Lin, please go home. It's already very late.”

“Can't go back. They will soon know the truth.”

“What truth?”

“Well, I can't tell.”

"Just tell me, we're friends. I won't tell anyone else."

"It's me."

“What is it?” When Thee turned around, what he found was his own father. And where has Lin gone?

“Where has your child gone? Let's go home now. They met Lin just now.”

“How did you meet Lin? How did you meet her? Lin is with us. What exactly happened?” The things in his brain were all mixed up right now. It made him confused, how was he walking around Kanlin just now? Since Father said they had found Lin

“What are you doing? You can go home now. His mother is waiting for us to come back to eat.”

“Yes, Father.” He tried to push those thoughts away. But he still hadn't thought about who was walking with him. If it wasn't Lin, or Lin might have gone home right then when he walked with his back to her, “Never mind it, maybe I was just thinking too much. Dad, please wait.” Thee then ran after his father back home.

Every new day will be bright. That evening, the boy decides to go to his new girl friend's house and invite her to play with his friends in the village at the park.

“Lin, would you like to go play? There are a lot of friends in our village coming today. Let's go play together,” he said to the girl who was walking in the garden of her house.

“I don't want to go. I don't like running around like that. It's boring. If you fall you'll get an injury. What should I do?” Lin Said in a displeased manner, making Thee not dare to invite her anymore, so he walked away with a depressed expression.

At night, Tee came to sit down and do his many homework. After both Saturday and Sunday, he didn't touch any of those homework because he was busy thinking about various things that had happened and playing games and watching television. After that evening, he left. Go home and play with friends. His work had piled up tonight.

“Why is it like this? It's like you've changed into a completely different person. It's really strange. I think there's a lot of homework on my brain. I still have to wonder about this again. Sigh, I'm really tired. I still haven't finished all my homework. I'd better go to sleep. I'll wake up tomorrow and do it to send to the teacher. ”The boy then went to turn off the bedroom light and fell asleep.

“Ring, ringing, ringing, ringing!” The sound of the phone ringing one morning caused Tee, now 27 years old, to wake up in shock.

"Hoy! What time is it? It's already late, it's late."

“Hello, Lin, don't blame us. Yesterday there was a lot of work. So I sat and cleared until it was a bit late.”

“Sorry, next time I won't do this again. Please forgive me. We'll go out and pick you up right away. Please wait a moment."

“Sigh...damn, I shouldn't have gone to bed at 1:00 a.m. last night. You'd better hurry and get dressed. It's getting late,” he grumbled in frustration.

After the story of that day happened, both Thee and Lin got to know each other better. Until they finally met while studying for bachelor's degrees. Now both of them are working. Thee, whose duty is to pick up and drop off Lin to work, must hurry to get dressed and leave her house to pick up Lin at home.

"Oh, what's up, Nil? How are you?" he greeted the black cat. Lin's female Then I walked in and played with him. Normally, this cat doesn't like to play with anyone, and is too quiet. It's different from normal cats that just come to snuggle, but with Thee, she comes to play with him regularly.

"You can go now, it won't be late, Nil. I have to go to work first."

“Meow,” Nil shouted in response to his master.

"Go first, Nil. I'll buy some snacks for you." With that, Tee hurriedly followed Lin out of the house.

Nil is a cat that Lin adopted when she was 18. If we count until today, Nil is around 9 years old. Lin loves Nil very much, even though he rarely begs her, but she knows that he loves her just as she loves him. One time when Two years ago, a snake came to bite her, but this cat was the one who saved her. Lin usually lets Nil sleep in her own room every day, except on some days when she wants to sleep outside, she will ask her to leave.

“Thee, why did you come to pick up Lin so late today? Did you know that Lin waited so long?” After Thee drove out, Lin complained nonstop about the fact that he came to pick her up late, and Thee couldn't do anything because He was truly wrong, just as Lin had said. But when he went to pick up Lin, he still did various things. Nana wasn't finished either. Even so, it wasn't a big deal. Treat each other as disappearing.

“Sorry, don't be mad at us.” He berated Lin as usual. Which seemed to work.

“Then let's take Lin to the mall this evening. I'm going to buy some food for Nil."

"Okay then, see you in the evening."

After buying Nil's food, the couple decided to eat dinner before going home.

“What do you want to eat today?” Tee asked his girlfriend.

"I don't know, it's up to you to choose," to which Lin answered like every time before.

“How about grilling?” he offered.

"Um...don't do it or your head will stink."

“What about Suki?”

“Lin, you don't like to eat vegetables, don't you remember? Something as simple as this, what a shame, I don't eat it anymore. It's better to go home.” But in the end, instead of getting something to eat before going home, it turned out that he didn't eat and Lin also seemed angry at Thee. As a result, on the way back home, they didn't talk at all.

Thee finished sending Lin home and returned to his own house and recalled the past from more than ten years ago when they It was still a child when he first met Lin. They were only 9 years old at the time, but they were able to play and Talk like children innocent Play or talk without thinking about anything.

Completely different from now. Because in addition to not talking much, they often tend to quarrel with each other.

He sorely missed that day when he met that Lin at the park. Until today, why did he feel suspicious that that Lin and the Lin he met today were different people? What truth would Lin tell him that day?

“By the way, we never asked Lin about anything from that day. Should we ask about it?”

Even though he thought like this, his heart told him to stop wondering about this matter for once. Things that were in the past should be let go and not bring it up again. So he picked up the phone and sat down to look at the news. normal

“Oh! There will be a shooting star tomorrow? It's worth inviting Lin to watch together."

The next day, Thee invited Lin to sit and watch shooting stars together at the park, but Lin flatly refused, causing him to sit and watch the stars alone in the window of his own house that night. “This feeling of loneliness and loneliness is no different from the sky. When I look at it, there is only darkness and I can hardly see the stars. But at least those stars have the moon as a friend. Who do we have as a friend?” he thought to himself.

Suddenly, a meteor fell, so he made a wish on it.

“Let me meet Lin. People who were like they were 18 years ago too.”

While the lights were turned off at Thee's house, she was sleeping. But Lin House's pets were still walking around the wall in the dim darkness of the nearby lights, their expressions as if they were communicating with something that other people couldn't see.

“What the hell is this? You suddenly asked me if I wanted to be a person. But in exchange for your own power, who would want to exchange it? How did you think of that?”

“Nil, are you sure you won't trade with someone who prayed to me that I want to meet you?” Nil was actually communicating with a meteor. that just disappeared It had disappeared behind the horizon for a short while and then suddenly appeared in front of it.

"Who! Did someone ask for that?"

“Yes, my friend, when 18 years ago.”

“Thee, isn't he already forgetting me?”

“If he forgets, will he pray like this? Think about it.”

In fact, onyx is Nekomata who had transformed into Lin When Lin disappeared 18 years ago and hid Lin But someone found her, causing her to never regain her form. Nine years later, Lin adopted her. No matter how much he wanted a human body, the bond still made Nil not think about stealing it again, until now his power was almost non-existent.

because he had never practiced his power Transforming into a human is almost impossible, if only for a moment. Until now he has turned into a normal house cat.

If you accept the offer when the time comes, Lin will return and Nil himself will return to being a cat. There was no need to harm Lin either. Because transforming and killing the owner of the body is the best way to transform into a human, but since you didn't intend to accept the meteor's offer, it wasn't that bad. It only took a little bit of power to exchange and it didn't take long for the power to be restored.

She decided to accept Meteor's offer by transforming into Lin. Then Lin will disappear for 18 days. Only if beyond that, if she still insists on hiding Lin. And if she continues to transform into Lin, she will die.

“Tomorrow, you will become Lin. Don't forget, Nil, 18 days, you must break this seal. Otherwise, I think within two days later, you will definitely die.”

"I already know. There's no need to emphasize it too much," Nil said, fed up with Dao's nagging, then jumped and went to sleep on the big mango tree at Lin's house.

The sound of birds chirping in the morning woke up every house, including Nil.

“Hey! How did I get up here? Oh! Last night, I shouldn't have slept here. How will it go? If I change into a cat, will I be able to come back as a person? Let's climb down like this."

“Thump” wasn't too surprising because she wasn't a cat anymore. The human body was not good at it, so it suspiciously fell from the mango tree.

“Oui! By the time I got down I was in pain and my knee was scraped. You better hurry and go into the house.” With that, the fake Lin hurried into Lin's house, dressed as if she had just woken up.

"Lin, go to work now. It's going to be late." Tee called Lin on the phone. As he just realized that he shouldn't have said that. Lin was late, but what Lin replied was more strange than every time.

“I'm sorry, we were wrong. Please wait for us for a moment. We'll leave immediately,” she replied with a guilty expression.

“Did I just lose my hearing? Lin shouldn't have said something like that,” he muttered to himself.

“Finished, hurry up and go. Did you say anything to us just now?”

“No, there's nothing here.”

“What happened to your knee?” he asked her with concern.

"There's nothing wrong with bumping into something a little. It's not a big deal. Never mind."

“Oh, so where did Nil go? Normally, he should be awake by now.”

“Oh… oh, he probably went for a walk somewhere else. Never mind. Let's hurry and get to work.” She hurriedly changed the topic before inviting him to go to work.

Along the way, Thee began to think about Lin's actions today. He began to have an idea about whether something had happened to Lin or why he was acting strange this morning. But I thought it might be nothing, so I didn't ask anything.

"Wow...I'm so tired. Why is Lin's job so difficult?" Since Nil had never worked before, he had to use special skills. It takes a little bit to understand the work that humans do. Today's work wastes quite a bit of energy, causing the little cat in the human body to fall asleep without realizing it and wake up again.

On weekend afternoons, in order to make ends meet, she needed to wake up to eat and then go to sleep, which was very different from Lin's habits. Because normally Lin often spends her holidays traveling. and playing with mobile phones

“Lin, on Saturday the elder who works on Line went to ask for work files. Has Lin sent it to him yet?” Tee asked about the work file on behalf of a senior colleague. who needed a work file from Lin to edit because this Lin slept all day, unlike another Lin who never missed checking messages on LINE at all.

"Well, Lin hasn't touched the phone for two days now," she answered with guilt but didn't know what to do because normally, when she was a cat, she slept most of the day. When she became a human being, it would be difficult for her to wake up all the time. Hearing this, an idea occurred to him. “Lin has been acting really strange lately,” he thought to himself. What exactly happened?

From one person to another Lin's personality was very strange. Lin usually stayed away from the phone and she rarely apologized to him first. Unlike now, his personality is much cuter and he doesn't yell at him like before. In addition, she is playful and unusually bright and cheerful.

“What's the matter? The ice cream has completely melted. If you don't eat it, we'll eat it.” Suddenly, all his thoughts were interrupted by Nil's craving for ice cream.

"Hoy! Wait, Silin, don't eat it all yet. We haven't eaten yet.”

“But Lin said, "Don't eat it. It doesn't taste good." Please give it to Lin to eat.”

“You know right away, it's delicious, right? This restaurant is delicious. Have you ever eaten it before? Don't make it difficult for us to fool each other.”

“Ugh, you know us again. Let's go look that way quickly.” Then she motioned him to walk in another direction. Until the thought of her changing personality disappeared from his mind as well.

“Time passes so quickly it's like a lie. In just a moment, it's the 17th. I don't want it to be the last day.” Nil thought to herself, how would she accept it because for the past several days we had been together forever, walking and traveling. It was such a great time. I didn't want to wake up from it. Sweet dreams. But if you let it go past the deadline She will definitely die.

While she was worrying about those things, Thee said, “Lin, in 3 days it will be my birthday. Shall we celebrate our birthday together?”

“K… is that.”

"If Lin doesn't want to go, that's fine. We don't mind."

“Go, definitely go, see you.” At that time, Nil decided to answer because she thought she had nothing to lose. If she were a cat, she wouldn't have this opportunity again. Tee is the person she secretly liked for a long time. When Lin was 18 years old, she tried to approach Lin. To find a way to transform into Lin in order to become Tee's girlfriend.

But things were not as expected when she had reached this point and she had no intention of giving up. One good memory in a short life is more precious than many ordinary memories in a long life. more

“Come here, have you been waiting for a long time?” Nil hurried over and ran at her best because today she still hadn't had the urge to wake up late as usual, making her condition now no different from an athlete who had just finished exercising.

"Not for long, slowly take a breath, take a rest before going, then you can hurry and run. Why did you think you were running for a gold medal? I don't have any medals for you, Lin," he said, laughing that Lin hadn't run enough. Her head was as fluffy as the head of a lion.

"Oh Tee, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. Let's go." They went to many places together, whether it be a department store, a museum, an amusement park. On that day, Tee was a model for Nil to draw a picture for.

“Draw beautifully.”

“Yes, I'll try not to move too much. The picture won't be beautiful."

After about half an hour the drawing was finished and the model hurriedly came to the painter to ask to see the picture.

“Lin, show it to Tee.”

“Not yet, I'll show you tomorrow. Let me go back and collect a few more details.”

“Oh! But today is Tee's birthday. Can't you ask first?”

“No is no.” This sentence made Tee have to wait until tomorrow to see pictures of himself as a model. The couple went on to celebrate their birthday together. They bought a pair of keychains that, if put together, would make a perfect keychain. Until it was almost evening, so he dropped Lin off at home. On the way home, the two of them walked and talked.

“Do you remember the day Thee met Lin in the bushes?”

“Do you remember that day when we had so much fun playing?” he thought of asking. Onyx in Lin's body said that day She wanted to tell him something, but Lin spoke up with a sad expression.

"Oh, that's it. We probably won't be like that anymore. Thee, will you miss Lin if Lin disappears?"

“Why are you suddenly saying that? I won't let Lin go anywhere. Lin, are you going to leave us?”

“No, Lin isn't going anywhere. We've arrived at Lin's house. It's...Lin.” But then she changed her mind from telling him everything. Let it go and let it go because even if you tell it now, it won't make any difference. If he finds out later, it will be easier for you to give up on him.

“What is it, Lin?” the young man asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing. Never mind. Take care of yourself. Go home well. May you have lots of happiness." Nil said to him while feeling the same. At that time, I didn't want today to pass at all. She doesn't want to disappear. She was willing to stay as Lin and not be herself in order to be with him. But it probably won't happen again in this life of yours.

"Then I'll be back first. See you tomorrow."

“Oh.” After she turned her back on him, the tears couldn't stop flowing because this would probably be the last time. Since tomorrow she wouldn't be the one to go out with him anymore, she probably wouldn't be able to. See him again The image of the person he saw wasn't her. From now on, Lin would be able to take care of him. "Goodbye, Thee."

The afternoon of the next day, Lin came to see Tee at home. along with bringing a notebook with you

“This book is yours. Why are you here at Lin?”

“This is the book that Lin used to draw pictures for Tee-Ni, so please give it to Tee.” He hurriedly asked for it from Lin, not even bothering that she didn't remember this notebook.

“Take it.”

He took it and opened it to read. What he found were two images. One page was a picture of what he was like yesterday. The other picture is of two children walking together. He remembered that it was him and Lin, which made him want to clear up his long-standing doubts. So I asked Lin some questions.

“Uh, Lin, do you remember when we first met?”

“The reason why Tee invited us to play but we didn't go?”

“Not when we found Lin behind a bush.”

“We'll tell you that. We never played in the bushes or anything like that.”

“How is that possible? Yesterday Lin was still asking us…”

“How can we ask Thee? We didn't see each other yesterday. We were at our house yesterday. Did you sleepwalk or something?”

“How is that possible…” he blurted out, completely surprised at what was happening. Yesterday Lin was still hanging out with him. And even drew a picture for him.

“Lin doesn't talk anymore. Lin, come back first. Bye.” She cut off the conversation and walked back home stubbornly.

He was silent for a moment before he quickly opened the book Lin had brought and flipped through the pages. Until I found some text on the last page of the book.

“Thee, we're sorry for deceiving Thee. We're not Lin. It never happened. When we were children, when we could play hide and seek with the adults, we had a lot of fun that day. In fact, Lin's disappearance was the work of I, at that time, just had thoughts of wanting to become a person, but later Our thoughts have changed because now we want to become people because we want to be with Thee together like when we were children.

But until today, we probably didn't have the chance. Goodbye. Take care. Thank you fate. for bringing us together.”

Reading up to this point, he already knew that the person he had been waiting for and liked all along wasn't Lin, but someone else, he didn't know. And will we meet again? At that time the phone rang.

“Th…thee, n…nil, it's huh, Lin, what should I do?” It was Lin who called to him with a trembling voice mixed with sobs.

“Calm down, Linnil, why is that?” His girlfriend's voice made Tee startled as to what she was crying about.

“Thee, can you please come and see it? It didn't know what was going on. It didn't respond to Lin at all.” After hanging up the phone, Linthi rushed to Lin's house to check on her cat's condition.

“Nil, what's wrong with this, Lin? Why isn't it suddenly moving like this?”

"Lin doesn't know. When Lin came to see him, it was already like this."

He looked at Onyx and saw something that shouldn't be here. “These are the pair of keychains he bought with the other Lin that day. Why are you staying with Nil?...It's probably not what I thought, right?"

"Lin, let's hurry and take Nil to see a doctor first. Don't worry, Nil." He hurriedly carried the black cat away. From Lin's house to the car, on the way he asked,

“Nil, you were Lin that day, right?” he said to the little cat in his arms who was barely warm and whose eyes didn't even forget to look at him. Nil's current condition was no different from that of a cat that was about to die.

“Nil, open your eyes.” Nil, her time would run out in the next few minutes, so she used the last of her strength to try to transform into a human, and then that was not in vain, but Nil's human form It was not a real human body, but instead was as translucent as a person's soul.

“Thee, we have met each other. This is Nil's true form. Nil is a Nekomata cat. Are you shocked?” She transformed into a woman with long black hair. It has cat ears on its head and two black tails. Come stand in front of Thee.

“Nil, are you the one who transformed into that Lin?”

“Yes, it is Nil. We probably have to go. Please take care of Lin for us. We really have to part. Take care of yourself and be very happy.” Nil said to Thee with a smile that was smiling through tears, then her body slowly disintegrated.

“Nil, don't go!” Tee shouted before her body completely disintegrated. He tried to grab her arm but it was useless. Onyx's body gradually faded until it finally disappeared. Thee could only go down and sit on the floor. Then he said, “Nil, I like you too… Goodbye. My little cat hopes that we will meet again one day.”
