Daniel was born blind.

Seeing nothing but darkness, he learned how to "see" with his ears and voice like bats. Daniel talking to himself day by day, everyone thinks he just mumbling so that he could "see" the sound waves of this world, no more no less.

For more than 17 years, always thought to himself that [I could never truly see this colorful world.], Daniel undergo a surgery with 100% of curing his blindness.

He was very happy to know.

Daniel doesn't remember how many days has gone through, but when they took off the wrap, he broke into tears.

"Is there something wrong, Daniel?", the male doctor who has been take care of him for 5 months ask, Daniel can tell he is worried from his gentle voice.

[I'm okay. It just so... bright.].

"I'm okay. It just so... bright.", Daniel repeat to the familiar voice.

It was truly bright. Daniel could finally see all the colors, all the objects, all the world around him without borrowing sight, his own sight.

"That's good to hear. Now, Daniel, do you feel pain or any kind of disturbance?"

Mr.White took off his pair of white gloves, wipes off the tears on Daniel face. He sees the boy's turquoise eyes, sparkling so beautifully, as if tempting to drown people in those precious sea jewels.

[Now carefully shake your head, don't be too slow or too fast.]

Daniel shakes his head, doing exactly what the voice told him to.

Mr.White, whose hands have slowly leave the boy teary face, started to write things into his notebook as he breath out a gulp of air.

"Okay, I'm going to ask you a few question before letting you go, please answer truthfully, are you clear?"

[Say "Yes" like you always do after you cry.]

"Yes.", wiping off his tears and open up his charming eyes, Daniel replied Mr.White's question with a normal voice.

Although turning 18 in a few more days, his angelic voice has never changed since the day he was born. Daniel was blind, so he didn't know how other people look at him when he's talking.

[It was the calm gaze of audiences hearing the most memorial song.], Daniel thought to himself as he look into Mr. White eyes.

"Thank you. So, Daniel, do you know what is this color?"

Mr.White point at his fully white doctor outfit.

[Of course you don't, you're blind since birth!]

"No, I don't.", tried as hard as he could not to laugh at the voice words, Daniel pull out a confused face.

"Are your eyesight clear, or is it blurry?"

[Just answer like we practiced, I'll help you if anything weird pops up.]

"As clear as day, Mr.White."

He kept on asking questions like he always do with other patients. Daniel seems overwhelming fine to him, not a single problem that had occured during examination. Mr.White take all the notes he needed, ready to send this blonde-hair boy back home.

"Are those digitalis outside the window?"

Daniel suddenly fixed his gaze upon the purple digitalis. It wasn't there before, but now they're lazily cling to the glass as their branches seeking a cleft to sneak in, slowly crawl like a slender snake.

Mr.White look back, but he sees nothing but clear glass and plain blue sky.

"Are you feeling well, Daniel? Nothing's there.", awkwardly looking at the boy, Mr.White ask, thinking whether or not Daniel's having a hallucination.

"But, they're wrapping..."

[OKAY STOP RIGHT THERE!!! Do you want to get us found out?!]

Daniel hear the voice yelling at him. The voice has been silenced for a while, he thought it had fallen asleep.

"Can you repeat what you just said?"

[Just say it was nothing!]

"Sorry, it was nothing. I must have mistook it for something else."

Daniel don't like when the voice yell at him, so he obediently do as the voice says.

Despite an itching feeling kinda surround him, despite a hunch tell him there's something wrong, Mr.White ignored it all. After he's done with the notes, Mr.White sent him back home.

"Hey, do you see those digitalis outside the window?"

Daniel sitting at the back of the taxi, once again in the driver sight sees a self mumbling boy.

[Of course I do, but don't you dare say to anyone you can see that ever again, you're clear?]

"Got it! But why only us can see?"

[Simple, I make it so only you and I can see!]

"You're amazing, Jack."

The driver stop right in front of his mansion, saying a simple goodbye to the boy.

Daniel didn't answer, he ran fast outside, enjoying the world that he knows with his very own eyes.

The driver look at him as if an angel has fallen down to earth, frozen by beauty for a few second, he finally decide to leave.

[Goodbye.]

There was a voice echo in the air, the driver gaze at the back seat, convinced himself it was just a wind blow.

After Daniel left, the doctor look at his notes again.

Everything is normal, almost terrifying normal. He wanted to ask the boy some more question, but for someone who was born blind and has just regain their eyesight, he shouldn't rush it too much. After all, he'll see Daniel next Friday for check-up.

"Wait, what did that boy call me again... Mr.White?"

Suddenly remembers something strange, he question himself.

The doctor name was Markus, but Daniel call him Mr.White. Maybe because of the outfit he wore, but Daniel said he didn't know the color "white". Although everything he answered has nothing weird, but it worries Markus that such answers were too... fluent.

Markus look at the window. Daniel said that there was digitalis outside, but this is the third floor, and there's no balcony outside either.

And what is this itching feeling that he felt since then?

It's wrapping around his neck. It was faint when he first felt it, but slowly becoming clear to his sense.

There's something wrapping around his neck.

It's tightening up, Markus couldn't breath. He want to call for help, but only a husky coughing sound could be heard.

Markus knows now, Daniel wasn't seeing hallucination, but it was too late anyway.

After all, he can't see it.
