CHAPTER SIX: A PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME

" Granny don't worry about us, we shall call you immediately we arrive." I said over the phone," Okay then let us pack so we can be able to get there early." I added as I hung up," Granny seems to be excited that we going." Mina said as she passed me some boxes," She has long wanted us to join her so yes She's happy." I replied as we both laughed," I can't believe we finally leaving this place not just the house but the city as well, I mean as unpleasant as it has been for us the past two months iam really going to miss this especially the rolled dough sticks at the end of the street." Mina said," Yes leaving this place is giving me both happiness and sorrow." I replied as I looked around, this was the second house we lived in after Mom passed away, back then it was after she gave birth to Yuri so she never got to see him but our dad was a great support system for us the entire time, well before he became the m word " I'll go check on how the packing is on Yuri's side, you can manage here." I asked Yuri who nodded in affirmative...

After a few hours, we were done packing and all that was left to look at was an empty house, even if we were excited to leave it still didn't take away the fact that this was the place we have spent almost ten years, we still had memories here, beautiful and sour ones," I didn't realise this place was huge when it was all crapped up with things." Yuri said as we all nodded in approval," Uhmm I will check and see if the moving company is almost here." I said as I rushed out side, forget the moving company I was just almost going to cry but didn't want to be seen by my sister's," Hello Ms..."," Kang Hyuna, are you the guys from the moving company?" I asked," Yes, what should we load on the truck." he asked he seemed pretty polite," Well let's go, I'll show you." I said as we went into the house where they started moving our boxes out and loading them on the track...

" That's done, so you guys can get in a taxi and we shall follow you from behind." he said as we all looked back I wasn't the only emotional one, my sister's did have teary eyes too," Good bye." we all said in sync and then laughed at each other," Mrs we have other errands to do." the moving company guy said as we all bursted out of our fantasies and got into the taxi...

It was a long ride, sincerely speaking it was like we were going from a city to a small more like village town, you could see the transitions from the sky scrapers and huge buildings to trees, farms and lakes, even the air changed from the warm air from the city from this fresh air that feels good to breath in," Woah! this place still looks the same." I said, I forgot to say but I lived with Grandma back when I was in junior high, that's when my mom and dad were still saving up money to move to the big city, seeing how familiar things had started to get I started get a bit nostalgic," How come I can't remember a thing about this place, I lived here too." Mina complained," You were still a baby by them not necessarily a baby but young so it's normal you don't remember things like these." I said to comfort her but she just cutely pouted instead," So iam the only one who has never been here." Yuri said as she pulled out her phone to take photos of the scenery," Right did you call granny." I said to Mina who clearly had forgotten," it's okay I will." I said as I pulled out my phone...

" Well iam in the next town, my friend has a few important guests over so I offered to help." granny said," It's okay we shall settle in on our own and see you when you get back." I said as I hang up," What's wrong?" Mina asked with curiousity," Well granny isn't around, she went to visit a friend but we can settle in on our own she will meet us later." I said as the car pulled over, Granny's place had this home like feeling seeing how it had a flower garden on the side, a horse stable in the other side but it felt like home.

" Woah this place looks pretty, it's hard to believe dad never let us come here even during holidays." Yuri said as she took photos again," It is, awww is that a horse." Mina said as she ran over," Granny has a horse?" she asked as she snuggled over it," I don't know she never told me about it before." I said

The moving company helped us unload the boxes and then we were set to go, since most of the things we had bought were things granny already had we decided to keep them in the storage for future use or untill we get our own residence which I was planning on doing after I had settled in and checked out a few houses," Mina and I will share a room, you can sleep on your own since you older." Yuri said, that state ment was shocking to all of us seeing how Mina stared at her with that surprising look," What's wrong with you, has the air in Aayan cleansed your soul already." Mina said as she and Yuri started to chase each other around while giggling, laughing was something we had almost forgot to do, I was glad we were finally having a chance to smile without worrying about going out side and being judged by people.

MINA'S POV

" Okay now that the cleaning is done, I will make us lunch, but first I would need you to go buy ingredients." I said to Yuri who stared at me with that am about to complain look," I don't know any place around here, why can you go." she complained as expected," If I go then will you cook?" I asked as this strange tension rise between us," Cut it out, I will go and buy the things we need." Hyuna said as we all smiled in approval," Here I put everything on the list." I said as I handed it over to Hyuna who picked up her purse and headed out, I looked around the kitchen which had that bakery smell," This place smells like cake." Yuri said," Exactly my thought, maybe there is cake hidden around here." she added as we went through the entire kitchen," There's none, granny knew we were coming and didn't make anything for us." she continued," stop whining, granny left for her friends place yesterday." I said," But there noodles so as we wait for Hyuna, let's have these first." I said...

HYUNA'S POV

Looking around despite having lived here a few things had changed like became more developed, there were more shops now and for some reason I didn't know where to start from," Excuse me, I said to an old lady who was sitted Infront of her restaurant fanning her self as she rocked on her chair," Hello, iam sort of new to this place so can I get directions to where the market it, I want to buy a few things." I said as she stood up," Why do you look familiar young lady?" she asked with a smiley face, I haven't seen those in a while," Well I was here when I was younger maybe you know me from then." I replied," Min young!!!" she yelled, the name did ring bells like I knew it from somewhere," That's my grandson he wanted to buy some stuff for our restaurant too so he can just go with you." she said as we all waited for her grandson," Granny I told you I was still making the accounts if you keep calling me like that I might make a mistake." said a deep voice from behind me, on turning it was a man, tall fair skinned handsome man his most outstanding feature had to be his dimple on the right side of the cheek," Wait why iam I caring about the details!" I said as I snapped out of my thoughts," Minyoung this young lady is new to our town, so as you buy the stuff for the restaurant show her around too, since she also has things to buy." the lady said as I turned and smiled at Min Young," Nice to meet you, iam..."," Kang Hyuna!!" he exclaimed with a huge smile on his face , both me and the granny looked shocked, how did he know my name, was he a friend class mate or an acquaintance...and there we were left in that awkward situation where I couldn't remember him but he seemed to remember me so well considering how he said out both my names.
