An important part of my life is looking up at the evening sky on clear days. Let your mind drift away in peace and relaxation. I watched and waited for something until a strange woman sat down next to me.

An important part of my life is looking up at the evening sky on clear days. The sky is wide and quiet. The clouds drift slowly Let your mind wander with the birds flying in the distance.

Pale orange sunlight spread over the horizon. The wind blows across the vast rice fields as far as the eye can see, undulating waves passing by in waves.

Inhaling the scent of the earth and the fragrant grass brings your mind to peace and relaxation with nature.

I came back here again after a month. To sit here A lone long bench at the edge of the park at the end of the village.

At the end of every month when I'm free from work, I travel back to my hometown in the provinces. To always sit and look at the evening sky

Take this important holiday to free your mind from stress. Pressure of responsible work duties and today's highly competitive world

This rural housing development does not have a wall around it. The village is surrounded by rice fields of nearby villagers. Behind the village are rice fields in the distance. Beyond is a dense forest.

After finishing eating the lunch my mother made. I have been sitting on this long bench since the afternoon. There is shade from large trees here, making sitting comfortable and refreshing.

The sound of children playing on the playground equipment and exercise equipment installed in the park could sometimes be heard from far away.

The village children often come to play here after returning from school. There were some uncles and aunts who came to jog and exercise.

Every once in a while, people in the village who know each other come in to say hello and ask how they are doing. Then I continued to go jogging.

I watched the sky from this spot calmly and without boredom from afternoon until evening. Even though it's a far and lonely corner But this seat was arranged by the people of the village. For people like me who stop by to sit and admire the view.

Grab…ha…ha…ha…haha…

The sound of footsteps on dry leaves was approaching. I didn't care much. Probably people in the village stopped by to say hello and chat normally. I don't know who it is. I casually said hello.

"Today the weather is very nice."

"Yes, the wind is really cool here." A sweet, clear voice rang out. She came and sat down next to me on the same bench at the other end.

I turned to look at the stranger. She was a young woman in her twenties who had mixed Western and Japanese appearance.

She has a sweet, beautiful face. Big brown-black eyes look as big as wearing contact lenses. Big Eyes convey deep emotions on the face. Curly eyelashes, sharp bridge nose, plump red lips. White, smooth, pink skin proportional body She was wearing a casual skirt. Shiny black hair that reaches the middle of the back.

The wind blows and blows her hair. The scent of the scent wafted through my nose.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before relaxing and staring at the sky. I looked away from her before letting my mind wander. After a moment she spoke up.

"Look at the sky from this angle. It gives you a feeling of relaxation like this.”

"Yes, I really like it. This seat is my usual place." I changed my posture slightly. Your eyes relax and look at the floating clouds. "Did you just move to this area? I've never seen you before."

"I happen to have someone I know in this village."

"Oh, sir. I'm Nop Wongsarung. You can call me Nop. What's your name?"

"Nilla Ofu. You can call me Nilla."

"Are you a half-breed? Guessed from this name Are you half American-Japanese?"

"Uh… yes, I'm really good at guessing."

"Oh, I guessed right too. I guess I have good sense."

She laughed a little. His eyes watched the wind blow across the grass in waves. "You can see it from my face, right?"

"Yes." I smiled slightly. I admit that I knew when I saw his face. “I speak the language of this country very clearly. Did you grow up in this country?"

"I haven't been here for a very long time. I'm just a quick learner.” She smiled before squinting at me slightly. "By the way, your name suits my liking very well. Napha comes from the word napa, which means sky, right?"

"You're so smart," I laughed a little. "Just like that. My mother gave it to me to lie on my back and look at the sky and give birth to me in front of the hospital."

I often think back to the story my mother used to tell about the origin of my name. I've been listening since I was a child.

“Oh, really? Nop, the man who watches the sky. It's a good name," she said, smiling.

I laughed a little sheepishly when she complimented me.

“By the way, Neela, did your father or mother give you a name? I'm just curious." I asked her.

“Um, the origin of the name is a bit simplistic. Let it be."

"Oh, sorry for asking about a personal matter." I nodded.

"nevermind Even though it's a bit easy But I really like that name." The woman smiled slightly. It's like she's thinking about the past.

She doesn't seem to want to tell. The two of us stopped talking here and sat quietly looking at the evening sky for a while.

The light from the sun has decreased slightly from before. The orange above was beginning to be swallowed up by the dull blue. Various past stories from my life passed through my head and then passed away. Like many clouds floating by.

The girl shifted her legs, crossing them when she felt tired. Then she asked me without thinking too much.

"Why do you like to sit here and look at the sky?"

“It's calm and relaxing, and the view is beautiful,” I replied, thinking about the pressure of my job and the responsibilities on my shoulders. “Working in the capital is stressful and stressful. This is a private viewpoint that makes me feel like I'm temporarily removed from the chaos.”

“I totally agree. This seat is very suitable for relaxing. Look at those clouds. Just looking at it makes me feel at ease."

"That's part of the reason I like sitting here."

I spoke a little softer.

"But I have another reason."

"Why?"

Shall I tell her? The story is too hard to believe.

"The story is a little too unbelievable."

"Can you tell me? I want to know."

"Are you sure?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Tell me, I want to hear it." She turned around and smiled cutely. I hesitated a little. Before, I didn't think much and decided to tell.

"Ah, how do we begin? Let's say Miss Neela believes in the story.

UFO

Is it an alien ship? The kind you see in various clips in the news." Pictures of thoughts running around in my head.

UFO

or

Unidentified Flying Object

is a mysterious flying object whose origin cannot be traced. that is aircraft or certain objects seen in the sky at any time

It might be a mysterious plane. Weather balloons, survey drones, or even unmanned aerial vehicles that have been tested to invade the airspace of some countries.

UFO

is a collective term for unidentified things flying in the sky.

UFO

Some of the parts that humans have seen tend to be floating in place. or there is flying that is different from airplanes and human aircraft. Or there might be an incredibly fast warp from one point to another. which is a wonder in the sky

Some people believe that aliens have come to Earth and appeared to the world in mysterious and futuristic spaceships.

People have taken photos or clips that have been published on the internet from all over the world, both clearly visible and blurred and mysterious.

But most of them proved to be blurry photos of birds, airplanes, and other constructions that caught the eye of the world. Photo montage deceives the world Or fake clips with amazing computer graphics. Made with the hope of gaining some benefit.

The girl tilted her head slightly in thought.

"I don't really believe it. I saw in the clip only toys or they were edited and defrauded."

“Yes, most of them are,” I shrugged. “Do you believe in aliens?”

“Uh… I believe there is. The universe is endlessly vast. A galaxy has an enormous number of stars. There must be other civilizations already.”

I was silent for a moment before I said something.

“If I say that I have encountered

UFO

drama,” I said seriously. Ms. Neela paused for a bit before looking at me in disbelief.

“Are you saying you encountered aliens flying around in spaceships?”

"Yes, I've seen it in the sky." I pointed to the sky in front of me.

The girl looked at the finger pointing at the sky. There were only clouds floating by. and the sound of birds singing in the distance

“Delirium…” The woman shook her head slightly, crossing her arms over her chest before continuing.

"That is for me. Aliens are real. But I don't think that because of the distance between the stars They will secretly fly their aircraft around the world for people to see, worship, or simply film.”

"I don't know what they want. I really see it. I'm sitting here. Many years ago I saw it with my own two eyes,” I tried to explain. “I have been looking for a long time. The mountain ship appeared. There is no fixed time period. Many times when I saw it I just wondered why they were there. Not just once Over a period of many years

I have always watched and seen it many times.”

She smiled weakly.

“Well… I don't want to insult your personal opinions or beliefs. But are you looking at it wrong? It might be a plane."

“That was the first thing I thought of.” I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking of old memories.

"Then why do you think it's an alien ship?"

"One, I check airlines around the world. There are no airline passenger planes flying through this area.”

The young woman raised her eyebrows.

"which in fact From the time I was a child until I grew up, I had never seen a passenger plane fly by. At most it was a helicopter. Which was a very long time ago before I saw it once. And my eyesight isn't bad."

“Maybe it was another country's spy plane. Or a spy drone that can evade detection?”

“That was the second thing I thought. But it will never be something as simple as that.”

My right hand came up to hold my head as I thought.

“I don't have any evidence to corroborate you. But if you saw what I saw You will know that it is not a technology that humans can do in this day and age.”

"How?"

“That mysterious aircraft isn't too far away to be seen. It shone a strange light in the distance of the clouds. Something that makes me not think that it belongs to the human world. That is, it moves quickly as if warping from one point to another and then stops without caring about G-forces.”

What is G-force? Acceleration due to the Earth's gravity acting on various objects Including ourselves as well.

When we stand on the earth at sea level The force that the world exerts on us is only 1.

g

But if we move on an airplane Our speed will be equal to the speed of the machine. When the machine curves or swerves The enormous G-forces exerted are greater with the speed achieved.

Imagine a pilot flying a jet plane. If you have to dodge or make a sharp turn Of course, what happened was the enormous pressure exerted on the pilot. That will affect the blood flow.

And what if it's so fast it's like warping and then stops? If he could do that, the pilot would probably vomit out his internal organs. Or your body is crushed. The plane was probably crushed as well.

However, I don't think that modern human technology can withstand the G-forces I see.

“As fast as warp? And then stop?”

“Yes.” I pointed my finger at the right side of the sky, dragging it to the left side. "From the sky over there Go to the other end over there. then descends to the horizon in the middle Then go back to the original place over there. It moves from one side of the sky to the other in a fraction of a second. triangular"

The girl was silent. She looked at my face and thought for a moment before crossing her arms over her chest and turning her eyes to look at the sky.

"Heh… I think you should think about it yourself."

"Why do you think that?"

“Well, humans still have satellite systems. and mystery flying object detection system For example, when fighting a war, there is a system to detect and prevent airspace encroachment."

"True," I nodded in agreement.

“Then that mysterious ship appeared several times. Fly and fly to see clearly like this. Aren't you going to make loud news and announce that it's an alien invading craft?"

“I consider alien technology to be so advanced that it can travel hundreds of billions of light years across space. Evading human detection is probably just child's play.”

"Hm…"

“Also, even if the government or other organizations can really detect and confirm it. He probably wouldn't come out and announce it to cause the people to panic.

Imagine that suddenly news spreads around the world that alien ships have invaded Earth. How shocked will people be? There might be a riot. Hoarding of consumer goods or the various chaos that will follow

What about strange cults that worship aliens or nonsense alien mediums? There are many people who believe it to be true. But many people don't believe this.

I think humans today are not ready to accept this kind of thing.”

I spoke at length about my personal opinions to her. Even though the girl let her gaze relax on the sky, she listened intently.

“So… do you have evidence? Have you recorded a clip? What is there to convince me that you're not just imagining it?”

“No, I have never recorded a clip. I don't know if he saw me or not. I thought he might be exploring without wanting to be seen.

which if I recorded the evidence There is a chance of being detected. Then it is more like bringing danger into oneself. His technology is so advanced. Who knows, he might be dissatisfied and just delete me quietly."

young woman laughing

“You think a lot too. Until now I'm starting to think that maybe you have delusional mental disorder or not. Some people take on a lot of pressure and carry a lot of burdens. I want to escape the truth and create something for my own comfort. And really believed in that thing until I saw hallucinations all by myself.” Ms. Neela scratched her head, not knowing what to say.

"I'm not sure. Many times I thought I was hallucinating. But it was last seen a few years ago. The aircraft was traveling at high speed and came to rest over the rice field ahead. It made me see with my own two eyes."

“What do you see?” She frowned.

“The craft is in the shape of an inverted disk, matte silver, similar to what is often seen in movies or clips.

UFO

It is somewhat different in that it is not round like a plate. But the ship has a clear indication of where it is at the front and where it is at the back.” My voice started to sound hoarse. “The glass-like part on the front of the ship was facing me. It was like he looked at me for a moment.”

“So what's next?” the woman asked. Her brows furrowed even more.

I looked at her calmly. That picture is still a memory that is firmly etched in my head, never to be forgotten.

“Well… that's all I remember, like a blurred image. I woke up again. It turned out that I was asleep in this seat and when I woke up I couldn't find anything."

"Emmmm…" The girl's furrowed brows loosened. She sighed heavily. "You're dreaming, right?"

“I almost thought I was dreaming. But when I think back I've seen this ship many times."

"Don't be like this. I think you should see a psychiatrist. I'm quite worried after what you said." She looked at me worriedly.

“Oh…… Never mind that. As you said I might be imagining it myself. Maybe I should consult a psychiatrist sometime. Let's just say I told it as a fun story. I thought it was okay to just tell you a mysterious story."

I gave myself a big sigh. Thinking about it, maybe I was so stressed about work that I was just imagining it.

The picture of the ship I saw may have been in my head only. If there really were ships flying above the sky Maybe I wasn't the only one who saw it.

Villagers in this area may have seen it and may have recorded the clip and posted it on social media until the clip became famous. This is the era of social media.

But all along I have never heard news about

UFO

In this area That made me feel hesitant and began to replay the memories in my head.

Maybe the whole story was just a fantasy because of the pressure of my job.

I am not someone who blindly believes something and blocks out reasonable opinions. to the point of not paying attention to logical thinking as educated humans in the era of advanced science should

It's just that something deep in my heart still believed that the image of the ship I really saw. Because the detailed picture is quite clear.

When I think back, I regret not having recorded the clip myself. So that I can confirm to myself whether I am imagining it or not.

The young woman shook her head slightly and let me think to myself for a while, then she invited me to talk.

The sun is starting to set. The two of us talked endlessly. Sit and look at the beautiful sky in front of you. The cool weather made me tell her many stories.

Both stories about my personal life, general stories, politics, or even various stories that I have heard. Including the novels I like.

Ms. Nilla is a great listener and supplementary storyteller. Sometimes she debates with me about politics or asks me personal questions. I told a joke until she laughed.

Sometimes she tells me about her hometown. But it seemed like she didn't want to share too many details because she liked listening to my stories.

When talking about the novels that I like to read. She told me a short novel from her home that she liked. It's about a young woman from a large, prosperous kingdom traveling to meet a poor young man in a small village.

The two secretly looked at each other for a long time. Watching each other often From watching to becoming interested Before having the opportunity to meet each other and experience various events So many adventures that eventually turned into love.

But in the end it seemed like fate was playing a joke. The two of them had to separate because they had responsibilities in their hometowns that made it impossible for them to be together.

The young man and woman were very sad. The two had no solution for long. Until finally they both agreed. They enlist the help of a mysterious and kind wizard to help them erase their memories and return to living their lives as they were meant to be.

Ms. Neela looked very happy while telling the story. But towards the end of the story, her eyesight becomes sad. It's like a story being told. It comes from some deep memories and feelings.

Her story was conveyed with a touching heart. Mixed with both happiness and sadness Various feelings in the story were passed on to me.

I, after listening to the story, was quite impressed with what Ms. Neela had told, so I continued to ask with interest.

“And how were they after that?”

“The man has gone back to living a normal life in his original village. As for the woman, she…” She turned her head away and looked down at the ground with sad eyes. Before continuing

“As for the female side, after the male side had their memories erased by the wizard. The girl couldn't afford to lose this important memory…” Ms. Neela closed her eyes and water stains appeared from her beautiful eyelashes. She wiped away the tears before continuing. “She became a watcher who secretly spied on the peaceful life of the men in that small village forever.”

After that, Ms. Nilla told me that the short novel is called The Watcher. The love of two people who are separated and cannot be together is so sad.

“I really like this story. I'll go look it up on the internet and read it myself again.”

I wiped the corners of my teary eyes. Look at the sky that's starting to get dark. The children who were chattering in the playground were being called back to dinner by their mothers.

The sky as the sun sets is still beautiful. The sun went down over the horizon. The moon's light began to shine down and stars began to appear in the sky.

“Right? This short novel is my favorite. It is a story engraved in my heart and I will never forget it.” The woman adjusted her sad expression and smiled brightly.

"The title is Watcher. I'll have to write it down first or I'll forget." I picked up my phone. Type the name of this novel and save it.

“Um… It's starting to get dark. I must go back, Khun Nop. I'll go first." After saying that, the woman got up and walked out. Until I felt confused about where she was going in such a hurry.

“Do you want me to drop you off?” I asked her as I politely walked over to the girl and was about to get up.

“It's okay,” the young woman immediately denied and raised her hand to stop me, so I sat down.

“Oh, yes, thank you very much. It was very fun to talk to. Next time, please tell me another story."

"Yes, if I have a chance, I'll come see you again." She smiled and I saw a sad look in her eyes before she turned and walked away, stepping on dry leaves with a rustling sound.

I turned to look at the phone. I intend to search for that short novel. Hand types the title of Watcher into a smartphone. I hope someone has already translated this story so I don't have to sit and translate it.

But after searching for several minutes, I couldn't find this short novel. No matter what format you try to find.

Until my eyes saw news of an airplane flying. alien Or aliens are news in foreign languages.

Suddenly, I felt something uncomfortable in my heart, so I clicked on the link to watch foreign news. Then read the letters carefully.

Alien??? UFO???

'Eh! Wait, something strange! …Nilla???'

I thought in my mind of all the stories I had talked with the young woman just now. Until thinking back to some words

“Nilla Ofu… Nilla?

Neila Ofu

Huh?”

Immediately, images of foreign language letters arranged in reverse order flashed into my head.

N-E-I-L-A  =>  A-L-I-E-N

O-F-U  =>  U-F-O

I was shocked for a moment. before thinking back to the conversation The story is told and the many feelings that were conveyed by the young woman My brain began to piece together the story until I began to understand something.

I stood up from the bench in such a hurry that I didn't care if I forgot my phone or if my shoes fell off. My legs walked out without thinking. In my head, I just wanted to see her again for a few minutes. I just want to ask you that question.

I started running until I stumbled but got up and kept running to find her.

I ran around this alley for a while but there was no sign of the girl until I was tired and panting heavily.

Until I ran back again And I found her there on the same bench As he looked at the young woman, he saw something strange. The image of Ms. Nilla looking up at the sky, her body looking fizzy like an old television with a bad signal.

“Are you coming back now?” I asked her, even though I already knew the answer.

She looked away from the sky before looking at me. She smiled softly with an indescribable feeling.

“Please tell me. The heroine of that novel Are you happy now?”

Ms. Neela looked at me for a moment. A warm breeze blew across both of our bodies. She closed her eyes and answered me with emotion.

“You never regret anything you've done.” The woman opened her eyes as if she remembered something. “Oh, and thank you again. For the name you gave me.”

She smiled at me softly and sadly again. Before the image of her feisty figure slowly faded away.

There was silence and I stood there alone for a moment.

I smiled to myself before sitting down on the same bench, not knowing why. All I know is that I have to sit here. I raised my head and looked at the sky again.

Even though it was dark, I saw that light in the sky. It was clearly visible as a light from a mysterious aircraft.

It moves from the right side of the sky. Go to the end of the sky on the left. and then moves for a fraction of a second down to the central horizon. Then return to the original right side. until it is triangular

Flash!

Suddenly, something incredible happened.

An inverted disk-shaped spaceship, matte silver, similar to what is often seen in movies or clips.

UFO

It is somewhat different in that it is not round like a plate. But you can separate the front of the ship and the back of the ship.

It came in so fast it seemed to warp and float above the rice field in front of me.

The glass-like portion of the front of the ship was facing me. But it is matte silver. Can't see inside I sat staring at the mysterious ship for a moment, not wanting to escape.

For a moment, a slight smile spread from the corner of his mouth and he nodded towards the futuristic spaceship.

Before a white light was projected from that ship onto my body. It doesn't feel any pain. There was no feeling of fear in my heart.

“See you again, Ms. Neela,” before the white light grew brighter and swallowed up the entire image.

The sound of birds chirping The wreaths are crying loudly. The stars in the sky were bright and dazzling, decorating the night sky. Bright moonlight shone through the clouds onto the rice field in front. The evening breeze blows across the rice fields and hits your face.

I drowsily woke up and rubbed my temples, wondering if I had been sitting for too long until I fell asleep.

I shook my head to dispel the dazedness. Before looking through the nighttime rice fields that could be faintly seen from the moonlight Looking up at the clouds in the sky

Today the sky is still as quiet as before.

"I've been sitting for so long that I've fallen asleep," I muttered to myself. before getting up and stretching Then he walked home, stomping on dry leaves, making a rustling sound.

I turned back to the seat I had just vacated again. with a strange feeling Tears suddenly flowed out without realizing it. Right now I feel like I'm forgetting something important.

I shook my head to get rid of the strange feeling that came from nowhere. Maybe I'm just a little disappointed that no UFOs have appeared today. I looked away from my seat, used my arm to wipe my face and eyes, and continued walking.

“Sigh….. I have to go back to work tomorrow. But what did mother make for you to eat?"

Behind the clouds above the sky The mysterious spaceship had been stationary here for a while. without anyone noticing or detecting

It floated still as if it were watching something and showed no signs of moving. If anyone saw it and would name it from what they saw, This mysterious ship is probably called the Watcher, or maybe it is. Mysterious Watcher

Until some time had passed and the large clouds that had been covering it began to float away. If there was someone sitting in that seat, it wouldn't be difficult to spot this craft.

The mysterious craft didn't float for long before it flew up into space and vanished from the solar system in a matter of seconds.
