Same but different.

I slowly open my eyes. My head was aching. I got up slowly. Seeing me, a woman rushed to me and said, " My lady, finally, you have woken up. I was so worried."

I was shocked. Who is she? And this place looks unfamiliar.

I asked, " Who are you and where am I?"

She answered, " Lady, what are you talking about? I'm your servant, and this is your home. I would get the lord right now," and she ran out of the room. She looked worried.

The bed I've been sitting on this whole time is hard. And this place looks like it from ancient times. This house is made from wood. Wait, have I traveled in time like the movie? Wasn't I in a bus a few moments ago.

Then a man and woman entered, with the servant entered the room and claimed to be my parents. The man does look like my father, but has long beard. And the woman looks like my mother, too.

I knew that I had traveled in time, so I pulled the ace. " I don't remember anything," I said, acting scared.

They all looked worried and assumed I must have lost my memory. But they were confused. How did I lose my memory? The original body owner's mother started crying. The father tried to calm her. And they left me to rest.

The only one left was the servant, who looked as if she would cry at any moment. She began to share everything she knew about the original owner. Her name is Leisana, and she is the eldest daughter of the village chief. The servant's name is Korounganbi. Leisana is timid, and a few days ago, a group of girls pushed her into the pond. She didn't know how to swim. When she was rescued, she wouldn't wake up, but she was still alive. The chief punished the girls, but they framed the incident as an accident.

I decided to go outside, but Korounganbi tried to stop me, saying that I was still unwell and it would be dangerous to go out since I had lost my memory.

I said, " But I want to know about this place since I forgot. And I will be fine as long as I'm with you, will you guide me?" I smiled.

She couldn't refuse. When I started to get out of bed, something fell out of nowhere. I picked it up, and surprisingly, it was the blue necklace. Korounganbi was already out of room.

I hid the necklace and followed Korounganbi. When I got out, I saw that this village is in the middle of a jungle. I just assumed that I must have travelled in time, but this place looks strange. It is different from our ancient society, I read in books.

Well, who cares? My house is the biggest in the village. As I was walking, many people called me and showed their concern.

I was just walking, then I heard a scream, "I'm not Thasana." She was running away from some people. To my surprise, it was Maipakpi. I called her name. She looked at me and ran towards me.

She was huffing, and Korounganbi looked confused. Then Maipakpi said, " Laija, what is this place? Where are we?"

 I didn't want to say anything in front of Korounganbi, so I whispered in Maipakpi's ears, " Just play along for a while." At that time, her parents arrived and apologized for the trouble and took her to their home.

I was surprised that I wasn't the only one who traveled in time. Does that mean all the people in the bus got transported back in time?

My doubt was soon cleared as I heard many screaming and found people running away. Korounganbi was surprised and confused about what was happening.

Looks like I was the only one who took it calmly, it's all because of all the novels and movies I watch. Wait, wasn't 5Star's new song gonna be released in just a few days? I'm doomed. I wanted to watch it so badly.

Korounganbi asked, " My lady, you look worried. What happened?" " Nothing," I answered.

As we were walking, I saw a river. I got near it Korounganbi tried to stop me but I didn't. When I saw my reflection in the river, I wasn't surprised at all. It was my reflection, but with a different hairstyle. But something hit me, if I had traveled in time, how would this girl look like me? Her parents look exactly like my parents, and the body of Maipakpi in it also looks like her.

Have we all come to a different world? Why did it take me so long to find out? I'm an idiot.

The dress I'm wearing looks awfully similar to our traditional dress, but there is a difference.

Travelling in another world is more exciting than time travel. A wide smile spread across my face. Korounganbi, who was looking at me the whole time, thought I must be seriously ill.

She was just about to suggest going home, but a voice disrupted her. This voice surely irritates me. When I looked, she was an unfamiliar person. She said, " Leisana, you are fine now. You know, I was so worried. And I wanted to say I didn't mean to push you at all." Oh, so she was the girl who pushed me, I meant her. Somehow, she looks so unauthentic.

I said with an innocent look on my face, " Miss, who are you?" She was stunned, and then Korounganbi interfered, " Look, Malemnganbi, my lady is unwell, so I fear she can't talk to you right now." She turned to me, " My lady, I think we should head home." I answered, " Um."

We started going, that girl just stood there, but I could feel her threatening gaze. I'm familiar with this kind of look.

On the way home, Korounganbi said, " My lady, you should stay away from her. I think she has a hidden motive. People think she is kind and so whatever, but she doesn't look good to me. And she is the one who pushes you, but she got away with her friend with all the acting. People think they accidentally bump into you."

" Okay, I'll stay away from her," I said. When we finally reached home, she made me rest.

Maybe I was too carefree. I didn't know they would hold a meeting. How should we get out of this?
