Van quickly turned around and Harlow Kept looking at him with sadness. Her legs became stiff. She felt like she can't move. She kept walking to home slowly. She was thinking about Van words after all she loved him from childhood. She arrived at the corner of their street. She sat down and started crying. Wallace was coming behind her. He threw tissue paper box on her head and passed by her . She quickly looked back at him and makes angry face at him.
It's been a few days since Harlow was rejected by Van . But she was still thinking about him. She still wanted to impress Van. She went to Wallace class and asked him "What is Van ideal type"?
Wallace " how would I know that"?
Harlow "Why you don't know that"?
Wallace taking a sigh " he is my older brother, how can I ask him about something like that" ?

Wallace" what happened "?
Harlow making a crying face"I confessed my feelings for him but he turned me down".
Wallace" that was given idiot ".
Harlow" Why? Why? why it was given "
Wallace" because.... Suddenly he stopped talking and then after a pause "whatever he doesn't likes you".
Wallace wanted to protect his brother secret so he stayed silent. Harlow Kept whining for a while then stood up and came out of his class.
She was trying her best to forget about Van . But there were still feeling left in the corners of her heart. Although she would not talk a lot about Van as she used to but still when she would see him or remember him, she can see that she is stuck on him.
While Wallace was starting understand his dreams more and more. Things started to become more clearer with time. He is fourteen years old. He will be fifteen soon . Wallace asked his distant Uncle who was in police about the cases of suicide and accident. At first his Uncle thought that Wallace was just asking out of curiosity so he overlooked it. But Wallace constantly kept pressing him to get him information about those cases. He agreed with him. He couldn't find other cases as it was so long ago but found the case of accident and suicide in 1977. He informed Wallace on telephone about it. By his Uncle confirmation Wallace started to believe Shaman words. He puts back the receiver and run to his room. He started looking for his diary. He looked in every drawer and shelf in his room. He found his diary in a box which was under the dressing table. He opened the diary in a hurry. He had written the names of his recarcinations in his diary that Shaman told him. He see the same name on diary as his Uncle told him. His hands were shaking. His breathing became faster. He threw the diary in anger and yelled in frustration. Then he slowly sat down near the bed. He putted his head on bed and started to control his emotions while tears come out of his eyes. He couldn't sleep well as he was thinking about it all night.
He asked his mom about the Shaman they visited. His mom " why "?
Wallace " Someone I know asked me"
His mom " I don't remember but I think it was a temple , maybe south district temple, I don't remember clearly".
Wallace "it's okay. "He wore shoes and came out.
His mom " are you not gonna eat breakfast? Where are you going this early? "
He tried to remember. He bought a train ticket to south district temples. By asking people he finally found a temple which was far away from town in seclusion. He intered the wooden Gate. As soon as he sat down, Shaman became angry at him " why are you still with that girl?, I told you to stay away from her ".
Wallace" instead of going away from her, Can't I do something else to solve it "
Shaman" She have cursed fate, she will drag you down with her".
Wallace" So there is no other way? "
Shaman" There are chances that your luck can save her . But those chances are slim. You are more likely to be engulfed by her bad luck ".
