Chapter 5- We've Met Again

I was walking on the white sand. I looked at the vast blue surrounding. Where am I? It seemed like an ocean. I smell the cool sea-breeze that touches my skin. I closed my eyes, thinking of a feeling of blissfulness despite the scorching sun that burns my skin.

My... Skin... W-what? Why I am only wearing matching underwear? My mouth drops agape.

"Yuna!" I heard a voice calling me from afar. Who is it?

"Yunaaaa!" Who is calling me? I feel ashamed of my appearance. Should I hide? This is very vulgar! How could I ever wear such a skimpy outfit outside?

Undecided as to what to do, I saw a girl running towards me. She, too, is in the same clothing as mine, but in a different style and color.

"I was looking for, you everywhere! Mother was calling us for lunch already. Why are you here? You should not wander afar." the girl clearly scolded me. I was speechless. She seemed related to me, is she not? Her hair has a darker shade of brown than me. We are on the same height, and we have the same physic.

"Come on! What are you waiting for? I am hungry already!" She grabbed my hand and I followed her aimlessly. We walked a few a little longer until we finally came to an area where there are a lot of half-naked people. I gasped in surprise. Men and women are together flaunting their own bodies. It seemed like a natural thing to do in this place.

I calmed my frantic heart and silently followed the girl that is holding my hand.

"Oh, well you are here. Let's eat lunch together!" A middle-aged woman said as we enter an open cottage. I see 8 people inside. A middle-aged man, probably the husband, two tall twin boys that seemed on the teenage years, a young girl in twin ponytail and a young boy maybe at around ten years old. They all shared the same feature from the couple. So, maybe I am part of this family.

There are lots of food at the center table. I heard my stomach growl, looking at the delicious-looking food.

"Sister, where did you go? I was looking for you too you know." said the younger cute looking boy.

"Joe, get your food." I heard the older woman said who seemed to be my mother. She is a bit of a plump side. I could see the resemblance of the boys from her.

"Oh, I was just walking around and I did not notice I was already on the other side of the beach," I answered awkwardly.

"Don't go alone Yuna. We don't know what danger lies ahead if you go separately. Even you are already at marrying age, but you should be careful." My seemed-to-be-father said.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha. Sister is old." one of the twins said.

"Yes, father," I said as I ponder his words. Marrying age? How old I am then?

We all eat at the lavish banquet in front of us. I learned that my mother's name is Elle, the father is Edil, my younger sister is May, the Twins are John and James while the youngest are paternal twins Pat and Joe. I am the eldest daughter apparently. We seemed to be close together as a family.

After eating, we played beach volleyball. I enjoyed it as I played it for the first time, at least that's what I thought. I don't feel awkward with them anymore and I care freely smile and laugh together with them. After an exhaustible game, I excused myself to go to the comfort room nearby. I walked alone since it is visible in our cottage.

Entering the room, I glanced myself in the mirror. I gasped. I think I am older than my original age. Maybe around 26 years old. My body looks thinner and more pronounced and matured. My skin is not white, but with a bit golden. I think, it still looks good on me.

After I finish using the comfort room, I stopped again in front of the mirror where a faucet for washing the hand is located. I washed my hand when I caught a familiar reflection of the person washing beside me.

I held my breath... I know her. I look at her intently as she was finished washing her longhand. Noticing my gaze, she looked at me in the mirror too. It is the same expressionless, but deep-seated black eyes. She did not utter a word as she comes closer.

"We've met again." She said with a smile. My eyes looked bigger on her recognition.

"Y-yeah. It seemed so." I backed away as she comes closer like a predator cornering her prey. I am not sure while I feel very nervous about our situation. "Uhm... What are you doing?" I asked.

"Looking at you." My breath hitched when my back touched the cool wall behind me. I flinched when I heard a click sound. The door got locked?

Before my wandering mind, she got even closer to me.

"Last time, holding your hand was not enough. What should I do? I have been looking forward to seeing you." her eyes glinted with slyness. I was confused by what she means. I was confused about this situation.

" Do you still remember my name?" her soft and long fingers touched my hand, slowly going to my bare shoulder and stopped at my chin. She is taller than me now. "Say my name, will you?" she said seductively.

I was in a trance listening to her voice. I feel no power to oppose her and just do what she says. I looked at her mysterious eyes.

"Aria." I weakly said. She smiled satisfactorily and closed the gap between us capturing my mouth.
