"Hey, don't be afraid. But before that, can I borrow your bathtub? I need to soak, you know?" said Siren while pointing his tail that continues to flap on the bed.
Aiden looked at the woman. He continued to look at her in amazement as well as fear. "Se-, before that. Are you the fish monster that saved me 10 years ago?" aiden asked, slowly approaching the woman.
The woman tilted her head, looking at Aiden more clearly. "Are you the one who drowned?" ask the mermaid.
Aiden nodded weakly. "Do you have a name? Why can you walk and change again? Why did you fall? What the hell's going on? Who're you?" Aiden flooded the mermaid with questions.
"I'm Siren. I am a mermaid living in the Cloud Kingdom that is above the sky. Every morning we come down to earth to play, but I want to stay here to meet you" Siren replied.
Aiden pointed at himself. "I? Why me?" ask Aiden.
"I fell in love with you when I pulled you off the seabed ten years ago" the Siren replied blushingly.
Aiden moved his hand. "No! You can't fall in love with me! We are different, we are different! Moreover, I am afraid of you. You're too horrible!" exclaim Aiden.
The sirens are smiling. "I have to make you fall in love with me. Oh yeah, before that, can I borrow your bathtub?" ask the soft siren.
'What the fuck is this fish! Why should I fall in love with him?' aiden thought to himself.
"Please" replied Aiden.
The sirens smiled again. "I need your help to get to the tub. No way, can I walk with my tail?" sirens.
"You mean, I should carry you to the bathtub?" Aiden asked again.
The siren nodded his head. "It's the only way that my tail turns into legs again" replied the Siren.
With heavy steps, Aiden approached the Siren and lifted his body. "Errhggh! You're so heavy" Aiden complained.
The siren draped his arm around Aiden's neck and continued to stare at him. "Thank you for helping me" Siren said.
"Curtain! Just focus on how to tear you down that horrible tail of yours," Aiden said grimly.
Slowly, Aiden laid the Siren's body into the bathtub.
"Can I have some salt?" siren asked with a big smile while cupping his hands together.
Aiden complained again. "Take it easy!" he said, but then he brought some salt from his dinner tray and gave it to the Siren.
"Thank you" said Siren. He sprinkled salt into the bath and splashed water on his tail. He seemed very happy because his tail kept flapping.
"Hey, man. What's yourname?" ask the siren from inside the bath.
"Aiden," Aiden replied briefly.
"Oh, Aiden. Nice name," replied the Siren.
The two of them were silent, only the sound of water splashing and the siren humming. His voice was so sweet that anyone who heard him was swept away.
Shortly after, the siren came out of the bathroom. His tail had already turned into a pair of beautiful level legs.
"Is it finished?" aiden asked, as soon as he turned to the Siren, he could no longer take his eyes off. In Aiden's eyes, the sirens were no longer terrible. Beautiful, just that one word kept spinning in Aiden's mind.
"Sorry to trouble you. I want to find Queen Lea. Do you know him? Queen Leah lives on earth with King Matt, but I don't know where they live" Sirens asked.
"King? You mean Matthew Johnson? Her friend. Where do you know him from? What are you looking for them for? Are you his family?" Aiden again attacked the Siren with questions.
Sirens nodded. He dried the sandwich on the table, his stomach rumbling hungry.
"You hungry?" asked Aiden who caught the sight of the Siren to the sandwich.
"May I ...?"
"Take it. I've eaten" said Aiden and gave the sandwich to the Siren.
The siren bit the sandwich in one big bite. "I want a crab," murmured Siren.
"Ah, question. Queen Lea is our leader in the Cloud Kingdom. I want to be human and live on earth. Only the Queen knows how to be a human being" the Siren replied cheerfully.
"Why do you want to be human?" aiden asked the woman who was eating the sandwich.
Sirens hope, Aiden will be his true love. Although he does not know how to make Aiden fall in love with him and want to give his kiss to the Siren.
"That's weird. Then, how will you get out of the room if your legs change back?" ask Aiden in doubt.
The siren shrugged both of his shoulders. "I don't know how either. There was a friend of mine who said that if I came down to earth my power would be lost and slowly I would die unless I managed to get a kiss from my true love" Siren replied.
Aiden grunting. "There are romantic fairy tales like that in this day and age. Tell you what, Matt will come here because we have a meeting. If it's Matt you mean the same Matt I know, you can go with him" Aiden said.
"Thank you, Aiden. You're good, it's not wrong that I liked you for ten years" Siren replied smilingly.
A strangely pleasant murmur was felt by Aiden, but that sense was lost in an instant when he saw the Siren's legs again turn into fish tails.
Plop!
The siren looked at his tail and smiled back at Aiden.
***
Sirens are left in the bathtub by Aiden because Aiden has to attend a meeting with his friends. Aiden has also sent Matt a message that a mermaid is looking for him.
So, the Sirens waited for Matt or Lea to come see him.
Meanwhile, Matt has arrived at the multipurpose building of the hotel to immediately arrange a meeting. He took Leah with him.
"We have to meet with Aiden first to get the room key" Matt said.
Lea nodded. "Let's let me meet the mermaid. Who are these mermaids? Why didn't Aiden mention his name?" ask Lea.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. They had already seen Aiden waiting for them in front of the door of the multipurpose room. Aiden lined them up to his room and informed them that the meeting was postponed.
"Why should you postpone it?" ask Matt confused.
"should, right? I'm afraid the mermaid mispronounced the name. There's a lot of Matt on the face of this earth" Aiden replied.
Finally, they arrived in front of Aiden's room. Aiden unlocked it and opened the bathroom door.
The sirens were startled, and the look on his face immediately turned cheerful as he looked at Matt and Lea.
"The siren? What are you doing there? Get out" Lea asked, he helped Siren out of the tub.
The sirens checked both feet. "He will change in a matter of minutes" said the sad Siren.
"of course. Your place should be in the water not on land. Then, what are you doing here?" ask Lea.
Matt hands Lea his phone. "Read, Rue just sent this to me" Matt said.
Lea read Rue's message quickly. "King Rue has just sent a message that he will allow you to temporarily stay with me. I don't know what the kiss of true love means, but as much as possible you have to find it quickly to survive on earth" Lea said.
The siren glanced at Aiden then nodded. "alright. Sorry to bother you, Queen," said Siren.
Lea shook her hand. "No problem. I'm going home with the siren right now. Let me know when you're done with the meeting" Lea told Matt quickly.
The group rushed to avoid the Siren's legs turning into fish tails again. Matt and Aiden drive Lea and the Sirens to their car.
However, something strange happened, when the Siren was about to get into the car, his body refused and he was unable to get into it.
"What's going on?" ask Matt.
Leah looked at the siren, as she opened the car door and tried to get inside.
"Aiden. He can't come with us" Lea said.
Aiden looked at Lea in horror. "What do you mean?" ask Aiden.
"He is bound to you and cannot be far from you" Lea replied.
Aiden rounded his eyes. "What!" aiden hatch.
