From chapter 1 to this chapter is an introduction to the character, but still mengambung. So, don't be confused and enjoy reading 😊.

Claud pov's

The girl almost hit me. Fortunately, he managed to escape. “Dodging?” there is a peculiarity of that word. “How could he possibly dodge? Can he see me?” the question came up and made me curious, so I stopped my steps and turned back to him. But nothing strange about him. He's just a regular piano player.

I raised my shoulders indifferently and returned to my main goal. “Make sure this wedding runs smoothly”. Even though I'm not part of the wedding organizer.

“Cloud R” that voice resuscitated me.

I'll approach her soon. “Why? Do you need anything?” I'm trying to ascertain my Shadow's needs. If you want to know what Shadow is, then I have to explain it. Shadow is the name for someone who is getting Cloud's assistance like me. These Shadow were people who would likely become curious spirits when they died. The cause is a wedge in the form of wishes that they cannot realize or dependents that they have not yet resolved. And the Cloud's like me are in charge of helping them.

“What will everything go smoothly?” it's been the last time Lexion has asked me the same question. I understand he's upset, but this is too much so I just kept quiet. And it seems he understands.

“Sorry. I'm a little bit riled” I nodded. Then we both kept quiet.

“Cloud R can you accompany me?” He sees me expectantly. I nodded assuring “I want to see Mira” without saying much I directed her to the front of the bridal makeup room.

I chose to stay at the door. Lean on the wall nearby. Seeing the magic clock that is connected also with the one on his arm. Tomorrow is the day. The day that the man will be separated from the world. I don't know the cause of his death. I only know the clock and the date. The rest is the life-extracting angel's business.

“Cloud R” I turned to someone who was suddenly next to me. My eyes were shocked.

“What are you doing here? Isn't it time tomorrow?” ask me for the angel next to me. Unlike the Cloud people, all angels never manifest their true form. They incarnate every time they meet us. But incarnated as anything we Cloud must have recognized it because of the distinctive aroma that came out of their bodies.

“I just made sure of his readiness” I breathed a sigh of relief hearing him because I thought he was going to take him right away.

“This is his last request. I guarantee all smoothly” I explained to him.

“Good. Make sure everything goes well” he pats my right shoulder. I just nodded.

“I'll be back tomorrow” I nodded again before he disappeared.

“Cloud” that voice vibrates and sounds weak. I looked at the door that was open. Lexion stood there with my face. “we go back inside” he moves first. I followed him from behind.

The whole Lexion show was silent. Until the bride came in to get his attention. The woman was silent at the end of the red carpet. Although all eyes were on her, but the girl's eyes were only fixed on one pair of eyes. “Kak...” flowed. Lexion himself did not move. Maybe he himself was confused as to how. “Do you not want to take me there?” tanyakanya. I saw Lexion hesitating, but he finally stood up to the girl.

“Shit” umpatku. This is obviously dangerous for me. I don't want Lexion to change his mind and get back to having a wedge before his death. Or I'll get a penalty for it.

“that's dad”'s job he said subtly while stroking Mira's shoulder. For a moment I felt relieved. Refused it. But it all didn't last long.

“I give up this task for you” that middle-aged man's answer made me curse back.

“What's with them?” gruntuku “what they worked together to create a re-channel for Lexion. “This cannot be let.” I'll move quickly to Lexion's sideline. I looked at him who was weighing his decision.

“Alright” my forehead shrinks. I looked at him with a question mark. He smiled and nodded as if he was saying everything was still going on.

He walked with his woman to the altar while I opted out. I don't want to see that sad ending drama. More precisely I do not want to be stamped as an antagonist in their drama.

Long time also I waited until the voice called me back. “cloud” I turned my head. “ayo home I had to cook dinner for all” he again spoke as usual. I just nodded and followed him. We went shopping before returning to his house.

It's strange today that she repatriated the entire housekeeper early. While now he plunged himself in the kitchen struggling with a variety of cooking ingredients. I just watched him while leaning against the door.

“I don't know” I replied as is.

“help me. I'm a little allergic” he turned his head while putting up his ringing.

“You shouldn't have returned your chef” my grumbling while picking up the black apron that was draped next to me. He just returned me with his grin.

I took over the onions and cut them thin quickly. “Wow I did not expect you great also” comments. “maybe you used to be a chef” guess.

“I don't know” reply me. I don't know what I used to be. I lost all my memories in my life. I don't even know what my name is.

All of this is a powerful provision. That the entire Cloud like me would lose his memory during his lifetime while on duty. The Power will restore our memories once we have successfully guided the five spirits free from its world affairs. The Power will also allow us to settle our unfinished world affairs.

After hearing my reply Lexion fell silent and continued cooking. “Cloud, terimakasi” he said softly. I immediately stopped my hand that was cutting the carrot. Shut up for a moment and digest the meaning of the sentence.

“For what?” ask me without looking at him. Although I didn't turn my head but I knew he also stopped his stir-fry activity.

“Everything” said as he looked at me who resumed cutting carrots.

“That's my job”I answered briefly. Although my answer sounded cold but she kept smiling.

I took a deep breath and breathed it out. I put my knife down and I changed my position to face him. I put my left hand on the pentry table and my right hand on the plate. I looked at him who was also looking at me in wonder. I gave him the code by glancing at his stir-fry that had turned blackish brown.

“What?” tanyanya's confused.

“You want to saute or burn?” many sarcas. He instantly realized it. “Oh shit” umpatnya while turning off the stove. “Oh shit” he's back cursing but this time it's slower.

“Just leave from the beginning” suiku lightly.

“The time will not be enough in a moment until they are up to” he said a little sad.

I had to use my abilities to check where the Lexons are now. I laughed at my vision. They were still at the party and were laughing happily. Irony isn't. Perhaps none of them were aware of Lexion's absence. Wait at least there's still one who folds his face for Lexion. The middle-aged woman who was always called Lexion by the name of mother was still clearly looking moody.

“Just leave from the beginning. Time is still quite” I told him. He looked up while frowning. “How can you know?” tanyanya full of search.

“I'm a Cloud. I could see at a distance” he nodded his head as if he had just remembered that I wasn't human like him. He had a faint smile while washing his pan.

“It's worth you to always be able to find Mira anywhere.” He made a pause in his sentence. “it might be nice if starting tomorrow I have such an ability” once I hear that sentence I immediately stop my activities preparing blenders to smooth the seasoning. “at least with that I can still watch him when I've moved world” he said casually. While continuing his work.

“Do you regret having to go from him?” ask suddenly. I didn't have time to filter that word in my brain. And seconds later I regretted the question. “Stupid what if he regrets I can finish heremy inner”.

“No.” that answer makes me plong instantly “Because I knew she would be happy with her partner” she answered me with a smile. Like he was really happy. And I also knew that man was dying full of wounds in him.

“by the way I waited for his fine seasoning” he patted my shoulder resuscitating me from earlier pecking.

“Oh ok” I stammered a little, but after that came back quickly to do my job.

The cuisine is ready on time. Anggoro's extended family opens the living room door just as Lexion lays down a plate containing the last dish.

I'm gonna disappear soon. I moved in waiting for Lexion on the roof of his house. Even so, I can still hear their entire conversation.
