21 Ism Not Her (1/2)
Tereza had been brought by Hana and her mother to one of the Japanese traditional zen garden. It felt so calm and they sat around the rock table while they were chatting, drinking green tea and sweets on the table.
Sakura or cherry blossom's petals falling down and passed them. It gave them a gentle feeling. Hana and Han's mother, Grace, had been telling stories about Han's when she was a little. Tereza found it amusing, how can there be a boy who still wet himself when he was 13 years old. Yup, Han did.
Hana curiosity still not done yet, she could tell that Sarah was not an ordinary person. She said she was amnesia, but the way she talked, how to say it, to courteously? It felt like she talks to a noble or something.
She looked at Sarah, she was indeed beautiful, worthy as one of the top beauty in Japan. She also smells good! God, what perfume she wore? But the smells were not strong, it was faint. It was calming one heart and make the people near her relax.
She knew she wasn't supposed to act like this. But she felt Sarah was not Sarah. The media describe Sarah spoiled rich lady and overbearing. While here she looked nothing as the media describing. Well, it was probably because of the amnesia.
But how can one personality changed so much?! Then again it may be because she was overthinking. So she tested her.
”You said that my brother found you on the forest?”
”Yes.”
”You were missing for about four months, were you really okay on the wild for that long? I mean you were a girl.”
”I'm not sure... I woke up found that I was in the forest. I walked following the stream and I met your brother along the way. Before that event, I didn't remember. Later I found out from Han I was missing for about four months.”
'Half true (laugh)'
Hana thought hard. ”It was really weird. You were missing for about four months, you were falling from that high cliff but now you are here without dying. Unless there was a savior save you before my brother did. So at that time he or she took care of you until you woke up. But they were gone, leaving you. But strangely, when the patrol searched the down cliff area searching for your body but they only found your blood. Your body was gone. No human tracks. So they conclude that you had been eaten by some beast. My question is who saved you?”
Tereza broke a cold sweat behind her back. She was really sharp. Her brother didn't notice, yet she noticed. Or perhaps Han's already knew but chose not to ask her until she speaks to himself.
”...”
”Are you really Sarah?”
Her mother only looked at both children. It makes sense though, but her mother really didn't care if she was the real Sarah or not.
If she behaves well, act nicely and can take care of Han and family. It was enough for her. Besides, Han's really like this girl. So she had no problem.
Hana stared at Sarah deeply.
”...”
”Unless you are-”
”That's enough Hana.” A cold voice resounds at the garden. Han pushed his father wheelchair, walking to their directions.
”That's right Hana. Looked at her face, she was confused. She was just lost her memories. Your saying probably true, but right now is not the time to talk about. Perhaps if her memories come back, she may have known what happened to her for the past four months. Just give her time. ”, said his father.
Her mother nodded and walked to stand behind his father wheelchair. Han walked to Tereza's seat.
”Tch, alright.” Hana reluctantly answered. Suddenly her phone ringing, her friends called her to go shopping together at the mall tomorrow. She hangs up and looked at her parent. They only nodded, letting her go. She looked at Sarah. She said, ”Sarah, I will wait for you to tell me your secret~”
Han looked at his watch. ”It's about time, we have to go.”
”Ehhh? Why not stay until dinner?”, said his mother and sister.
”I have a lot of works to do.”
””Stigy””
After that, the couple says goodbye to the family and went back to the estate.
In the car, the couple had a silent atmosphere.
