Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Senja grabbed her phone and accessed he home's security. Afterwards, her front door appeared on her phone's screen. There was an old womanstanding there alone.

Her brows wrinkled, she knew this old woman. She has been a regular customer for the past five years and was also a friend of their parents, you can say, she was a close person to the siblings.

Senja checked the perimeter of the house carefully, because of their family's profession as professional thieves, they had a lot of enemies. Her brothers and her were always being extra cautious to their surroundings and the people near them, since their parents were away from home most of the time.

When she couldn't find anything strange and everything seemed normal, shedragged her body lazily to open the door.

"Good evening grandma," Senja greeted when she opened the door, she invited the old woman to come inside. After that she closed the door and locked it. 

"What would you like to drink?" Senja asked politely.

The old woman waved her hands, "No need to be polite, it's not my first time here."

Senja chuckled and removed her face mask then threw it in the dustbin.

The old woman patted the sofa beside her andmade a gesture for her to sit there. Senja obediently satdown (sit) and (then) huggeda sofa pillow, then shelightly asked the old woman.

"What happened grandma? It's already late in the night."

"I have a request," the old woman spoke in a low voice.

"Request? But my brothersare not here. They might be back after 3 days."

"It's okay. It's not necessary for your brothers to get involved in this request," the old woman waved her hands slowly.

Senja frowned, "What is it grandma?"

The old woman didn't answer her directly but her gaze fell on the book that Senja was reading.

"Hypnosis?" she was taken aback when she read the title, "You learn this kind of thing?"

Senja scratched the back of her head and felt embarrassed, "Just to spend the time, Sian bought it for me."

"Good…" The old woman muttered to herself "Does it work?"

"Huh? Oh… not really, I just learned it these past two years. Until now, it only worked on Zhou. It's really hard to get Sian or Lee, those two are full of self- awareness."

Last time she tried it on Lee, he scolded her, saying that she has wasted his precious time without any sign that he was affected, and continued working on his laptop.

With Sian, he fell asleep however, not because her hypnosis but, because he got bored listening to her mumbling random things. He chose to fallsleep just like that and even snored.

"You dyed your hair," the old woman pointed out.

"I dyed it this afternoon out of boredom," She smiled, showing her little white teeth.

"Purple?" The old woman raised her brows.

Senja just smiled and twirled her hair awkwardly.

"Grandma what is your request? If it's within my ability, I will try to help but if it's something that I can't handle then I suggest you wait for my brothers to return."

The old woman shook her head, "No, it can't wait… even if it'sonly you its fine, I just need you to deliver something to someone."

Senja felt something was off about this lady but she couldn't point out what it was. The old woman's eyes looked dimmer than usual and she gave off a cold vibe. Her wrinkled skin looked pale. Something didn't feel right.
