SHE

Who had fair and glowing skin... Thick, long, and shiny black wavy hair... A pair of aqua-colored, sparkling eyes. And the one who'd been loved by elders, admired by children, and the pride of the family.

SHE is my sister...

My sister, who had everything that I don't, who got all that I want and received all that I've longed for.

I hate her, but I want to be like her.

Despite being a boy, I strived to be an equal to her. I've grown my hair and taken good care of my skin. I achieved the perfect replica of her.

But just being only a copycat has never been enough.
I lived as a living picture of her image and became the scenery of my family who misses her. I'm still not equal.

Then one day, no one saw it coming...

A circumstance occurred that twisted the cycle of our world which I did not expect would change everything that we used to and opened the door to the next chapter of my bittersweet life.

The circumstance that crossed my path to the girl I never thought would play a huge part in my life...

That one girl who spoiled me with attention and filled my empty existence with genuine affection.

But... In just a blink of an eye, death took her from me.

Her sudden death caused dubiety to all of us...

Suicidal? No... Someone surely murdered her...


But... Our only question is...
.
.
.
Who?

Bittersweet Life

Tristan jolted up and confusedly looked where she was looking. He paused, trying to listen. 


His brows furrowed. "No. I didn't hear anything."


"Listen carefully. Someone's really calling you," she looked at him, anxious.


Tristan once again looked at the horizon. This time, he heard a faint sound. He wasn't sure what the voice was saying but, he knew it was a girl's voice.


He stood up and squinted his eyes. "Is there another island on the other side?"


"Tristan..." She intently stared at Tristan's confused face. "Would you like to stay here with me?"


Tristan paused. Stay with her? Wasn't it supposed to be good to hear? But, why did he feel like something was off with those words?


"I knew you will hesitate." She stood up and hid her hands behind her, gazing into nowhere. "Do you want to go?"
