Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 2 - Elvina
...***...
Rei, feeling watched by the two pairs of Elvina eyes standing beside him. He turned his head, making their eyes meet each other.
"Rei.." Elvina muttered, her voice able to be heard very clearly.
Rei looked at Elvina with a puzzled look on his face. The woman was silent. Slowly a smile lifted along with his constantly moving eyes staring at Rei from top to bottom. After a moment of silence, Elvina quickly hugged her body, making Rei almost fall.
"Rei, this is really you, isn't it? It's not a dream, is it?" Elvina made sure this wasn't her hallucination. The woman tightened her embrace until Rei had trouble breathing. Elvina's tears broke instantly in her arms.
Termangu rei. His brain is still trying to process every event that is happening. He did not understand who the woman who was holding him was or why he was crying in his arms.
Elvina breaks a hug. He looked up at Rei's face right in front of him. Rei was able to see both of Elvina's sparkling eyes looking at him.
"Where have you been all this time? You've been gone a long time. Don't you know that I miss you so much? Don't you miss me, too?"
Elvina's outstretched hand held Rei's two cheeks. The touch is real. Elvina really wasn't dreaming.
While Elvina looked so happy, it was different with Rei who felt a small electric current shock once the surfaces of their skin came into contact with each other for the first time.
Whatisthis? Why do I feel the little shocks when we touch each other? This has never happened before, to me. Inner Rei.
"Where have you been all this time? Where you going? Why didn't you ever call me, or Will? Why?" Elvina again asked a question. But among all the questions that had popped up in his mind, Rei answered none at all.
"Rei? What was? Why are you quiet?"
"You... who?" just that word, which was able to come out of his mouth. Elvina widened her eyes. He was really surprised by the question that just came out of his mouth.
"K... You don't remember me? It's me, Elvina. Your cousin" he said.
Rei was silent trying to remember that name. However, there was not the slightest reaction to his brain regarding his name.
"I don't remember" said Rei.
"What happened to you? Why can you forget me? Did you crash into memory loss, or did something happen that left you unable to remember me? Jeez Rei, don't worry me" Elvina panicked. He flipped through Rei's body as he continued to look at him from top to bottom. There was not the slightest scuff on his body.
"Have we known each other before?"
"More than know each other. We're cousins, and we've been very close since childhood. One year ago, you disappeared. Will and I, trying to find you. But we couldn't find you. To the extent that we thought you were dead. I can't even live my life well. I always wish you were back. I always wished you were here. Where we meet each other. Every time I go home to work, I come here and pray. Wish you'd come home safe. And it seems that God granted my prayers. Now you're standing right in front of me, "Elvina can't contain the pleasure that's now running through her heart.
