She woke up immediately and asked, "What?" She pointed to the person sitting by the fountain. We sat down again, and she asked him, "Who are you?" He looked at us silently and said, "Who are you two?" "This is my room." We looked at him; it was the statue in the middle of the fountain, so there was no doubt he wasn't lying. "How long have you been here?"
"I've been here all this time." We looked at him. "What do you mean?" "I mean before you two came in and started messing with everything here." "So this doesn't belong to the merchant?"
"I agreed with Amid that he would take all the rooms except this one. This one is mine, and everything in it belongs to me." We looked at him, and he looked into our eyes. I leaned back. "Do you mean you bought us?" He looked at us, smiling. "Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?" I didn't understand what he wanted after his gaze became serious enough to answer for me. "I believe that nothing happens by chance," he said, smiling. "So you do." I stopped him. "You didn't answer her question. Did you buy us?"
"Let's be clear. I set you free." I looked at her, a smile spreading across my face. I saw her serious expression. "So we're free to leave whenever we want?" "I think so," she said, standing up immediately and heading out, but his words stopped her. "But what if I told you that you're not here by chance?" She paused for a moment, her back to him, and spoke. He waited a few moments. "I mean, you're in the right place at the right time." She looked up, smiling, and continued on her way out.
"Well, if you saw the fruit carrier drop a fruit, and the rich man stepped on it, falling into the water in the middle of the hall, flooding the area around him, causing the girls on the periphery to lose their balance and fall, and the young man with the red hair catch them, and they smiled and thanked him, and they landed on the bird that flies directly above you, and it landed on the clock whose hands reach twelve... I think it's possible for you to come back to me so I can finish what I was saying..." She ignored his words and went out. We heard someone fall, then another. Four minutes passed, and then we heard the clock ticking. She came back and closed the door. "How did you do that?" He looked at her. "I didn't do anything..." She approached. "Is this one of those tricks when you conspire with someone to do something?" To impress one of them? He looked at her, suppressing a laugh. "No, no, I don't think so." "Then what do you want?" "I want you to be his queen." She looked at him, anger beginning to show on her face. "So you..." He stopped her. "I want to make sure everything happens as it should." She went out the door, and he called after her, "Twelve." Then he looked at me. "Do you want to go too?" I looked at him. "I think I'll stay a little longer. Have you heard the song yet?" He looked at me expectantly. "What song? I don't understand." The look of anticipation faded. "Okay, nothing." "Will you wait for it with me?" "What do you want from it?" I didn't understand him, so I remained silent until he pressed on one of the floor tiles, causing the floor to split open and reveal a large pool of water underneath. He stepped into the pool and asked me to join him.
He shouldn't have asked because I was already heading for the water as soon as I saw him. "Why are you here, really?" I didn't want to be more of a stranger than what was happening, but he needed to know. "I've been here before... I mean, I've seen this place before." "So, do you remember me?" He was so gentle with me...it made me look at his face again.
"I don't remember you very well, but you look familiar," I said, lowering my foot into the water. "So, as I heard...your body expands in the water," he said, looking at my foot, which had begun to stretch slightly between my toes.
"I think so...so have you seen me before?" He touched me, and I felt my body become heavy. I felt like I was going to faint, so I looked up to see him standing away. "Okay, I'll come again at twelve. What you see in your dream is real, so be careful."
I didn't understand what he was saying, and I couldn't move my tongue. I slowly began to faint in the water. I saw someone appear and disappear, but I couldn't understand what was happening. I focused on him when he appeared again. I recognized the voice; it was her.
