WHAT IS THIS FAMILIAR FEELING?

That night,

"Hurry up Eva, which one is better for me to wear?"

At that time Eva was sitting cross-legged on her mother's bed facing the wardrobe. Her face was so serious that she frowned. Her brain began to make various assessments and assumptions. Her eyes were closed as if trying to imagine something.

"Well, between a long dress and a blouse... Let me see... I think for tonight you better wear a blouse with a long skirt. It will make you look elegant. "

'For sure Uncle Gordon won't blink later. ' Eva thinks the last part to herself.

But, just as Edith was about to reach for the recommended blouse and skirt, Eva changed her mind.

"Wait a minute mom. I think the long dress is better. Probably the best to look soft tonight. " Eva is quick to say as she just realizes that today is her mother's first time to meet Uncle Gordon's son, so kinder look probably more suitable. Today is not the day to impress Uncle Gordon that is for sure.

"Really? You have already changed your mind a few times now. I don't think this is necessary anyway. I can wear just anything. " Edith started to get angry with Eva as she was tired of choosing clothes. Her daughter suddenly wanted to be her fashion consultant without being asked at the time.

"How can that be, mother, tonight is special. I know you will behave like that, that is why I'm here to the rescue. " As a child to her mother, she wants her mother to look always beautiful, especially tonight which is important for her mother.

"Haish..." Edith sighed a little bit but in silence, she agreed with her daughter.

Seeing her mother who looks tired of her, Eva gets up and starts hugging her mother to start the pampering scene... Like she always does.

"Whatever you wear, you will always be beautiful. It's just that, I want to grab this opportunity to cling to you. I might not have this kind of opportunity again next time."

Edith just smiled. She knew exactly what Eva meant by it. And she is also happy to spend time like this with her. Hopefully, even after she gets married, they will still stay that way.

"What about your makeup for tonight? Do you want natural or smoky sexy? " Eva deliberately asked, intending to tease her mother.

"Eh? Makeup? Don't bother about it. Just using powder is enough. I'm not young anymore. "

"Hmph! I know you want to show your natural vampire beauty..." Eva was still teasing her mother.

"Stop that nonsense. Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? " Edith now looked at her daughter who was still wearing a t-shirt.

"It's okay to wear clothes like this. It's not that Uncle Gordon wants to see me. He probably didn't realize my existence. " Eva then winked at her mother.

"Stop bothering me. Go get changed quickly. " Edith is too lazy to serve this one child now.

"All right. I'm going to change. Don't be surprised to see your beautiful daughter later. Probably I'm the one who will get married suddenly. " Eva said while walking out of the room.

Actually, she was lazy to the maximum level to get out of the house that night. But, her mother said she needed to come along for dinner at Uncle Gordon's house as Uncle Gordon also wanted her to be there. The meeting of the two families, he said, before the wedding took place. So, because of that, she had to follow.

'But why do I suddenly feel uneasy? ' Somehow, Eva suddenly feels like that.

After a while,

"You got to be kidding me."

Eva was stunned for a moment to see the very large and beautiful mansion. It turned out to be far different from her house. There is a swimming pool, fish pond, and gazebo and there is a variety of interesting lighting fixtures. The exterior decor also looks so orderly.

At a glance, she could know that every inch of the mansion was expensive and screamed the word 'rich people living in here!'

"Is it a house or a palace?" Eva began to say to herself.

She started by walking around the area. There was a radiant fountain flooded with lamp light. Truly a neatly designed house. The imported grasses that are planted so green indicate that they are of high quality, making Eva afraid to step on them. She started pacing there, then stopped while looking at the mansion from top to bottom.

"This mansion is so big, but yet only two people living here. They must feel lonely. " Eva then looked at her mother who had been silent ever since.

"Mom, it's ten times bigger than our house, isn't it?"

Edith was also stunned to see such a big mansion and the beautiful decoration. She just agrees with her daughter's words in her heart.

She had never set foot there before, so she was equally surprised by what she saw.

'Apparently, Gordon is not just any person, her heart said.

Indeed, from the beginning, she already knew that Gordon was not an ordinary working person, but she never imagined Gordon to be so rich as this.

'The house is big, there are beautiful lights, my mother is lucky. But, electricity must be used a lot, it's a waste. But, why did I think of that? They are not using my money to pay for that anyway. Looking at the pool with clear water, make me feel like diving. Can I use everything here later on? '

"Ugh!" Eva started slapping her face with her both hands to get rid of whatever she was thinking at the time. This is not hers, to begin with, so, even if her mother married this rich person, she will not cross the line.

"Eva, what's wrong?" Edith deliberately asks as it looks like Eva is daydreaming alone and at the same time covering up the nervousness that is starting to travel in her heart.

"There is nothing mother, just a little surprised. This house is so big. Are there people who want to come to rob or steal anything here? "

"Eva, that mouth, I'll pinch you later," Edith was angry as she heard the weird question. Sometimes this girl's imagination is just too much.

"I'm just kidding mom. I just want to help release your nervousness. "

"I'm not nervous." Edith denies it even though she is.

"Enough already. Let's go in. " Edith started walking towards the door of the house while Eva followed from behind.

By then, they could see the faithful Gordon waiting in front of the main door of the mansion. His face was full of smiles then. Next to him appeared a young man who stood as if compelled.

'Is that his son? ' Eva asked herself.

While Gordon and Edith were saying greetings to each other, Eva and Dylan inadvertently looked at each other. Their eyes did not blink at all. Nor do they look away, as if they were in their world.

'Do we know each other before? ' The question began to play in Dylan's mind suddenly after seeing the girl.

'What is this familiar feeling? ' In silence, Eva also thought and felt the same way.
