I turn off the video and face the mirror. Then I look at myself from head to toe. I don't know what has gotten in me, I just want to look beautiful. Who knows Liam might have changed his mind and decided to come and get me instead. I giggled at my own thoughts.
I hurried down the staircase and I found some people looking at me strangely. I can feel some piercing gaze penetrating inside of me. Whoa, am I that beautiful? Ha-ha, just kidding'.
I halted then slowly walk down the staircase as I look at them apologetically. I'm supposed to walk out but someone called my name—in unison. Wait, they sound familiar! I turn around quickly to see the twins waving at me.
"Young miss!" they hurried towards me giggling. I bet they wanted to hug me but they repressed that desire so I initiated the hug. I felt them jerked but after a while they hugged me back.
"I'm so happy to see you two!" I exclaimed. "How did you know I am here?"
I saw them looked at each other. "Did you follow us silently?" my eyes widened accusingly.
"Eh? No miss!" Sheena responded.
"We asked brother Asher. But ssshhhh…" Rika is trying to silence me. "Don't tell brother Liam that we came by, he will surely get mad at us." She whispered.
"But why will he get mad? Does he hate me that much?" I am a bit sad at the thought of it.
"Don't say that young miss. Brother Liam is not that kind of person." Sheena defended but I gave them an "I don't think so" look. I saw them sighed as they stared at each other meaningfully.
I was surprise when they push me outside. "Where are we going?" I ask.
"In our secret garden." They uttered in unison. Ah! I'm stuck with these mischievous twins. They are indeed identical but one can still distinguish whose Rika and Sheena. Rika have two tiny moles under her eyes while Sheena have a clean face. But Rika's mole seems to be a beautiful ornament on her face. It didn't change her face value.
We reach the mountain side at the back of the school building. Then I saw a small garden filled with different kinds of flowers and a small hut was placed in the middle surrounded by a pond. It looks relaxing. I wish I have my camera with me right now. this is worth posting on my Instagram! I'll probably come here tomorrow. Ah! I can also use this place to do my blog.
"It's beautiful!" I muttered. We went to the hut in the middle of the pond. It has a back to back seat but there's a wall dividing the two sides. Though one can peek on the other side since the dividing wall have tiny holes in it.
"We told you." they giggled. "Young miss, you can come here anytime you want." Rika told me as we sit on the wooden chair.
"I definitely will." I smiled as I inhale the fragrance of the flowers around. It's relaxing. "But why am I not seeing other people here?" I literally can't see anyone not even a child.
"Because no one dares to enter Brother Liam's favorite garden." Sheena exclaimed. Eh? This is Liam's little garden? I thought.
"Is it forbidden to come here?" I asked curiously.
"No it's definitely not. Brother Liam is a generous person but the people here respects him so much and they don't want to tarnish his personal resting place." Rika explains.
"In fact, he encourages them to visit this garden as much as they want but no one wants to. the only time someone enters is when it is needed to be cleaned." Sheena continued.
So Liam seems to be a kind person. But why is he treating me coldly? I unconsciously went into daze and the twins must have guessed my thoughts.
"Miss Diana, Don't think that brother Liam doesn't like you or hates you. in fact, it is the other way around!" Sheena smirked meaningfully.
Eh that naughty smile, I think I know that. I raise a brow. "He likes you!" I heard them exclaimed in unison. Dang this two!
"Ah, stop exaggerating things will you. he clearly dislikes me. he doesn't even want to talk to me." I stood up to smell a dandelion on the sides. It's very pretty!
"Maybe his just trying to avoid getting close to you since you'll leave this country not sooner than this week." Rika's tone hints a bit of sadness. I paused.
"Brother Liam is a strong man on the outside but he has a very soft heart which can be his weakness too." She continued. This time, they lowered their heads as if recalling an unfortunate event.
"What do you mean?" I asked them.
"Like you, a beautiful lady got lost here in our region. She can't remember anything about her past, not even her name or where she came from. Brother Liam helped her, feed her and clothed her. they became friends but everyone can see the unspoken love between them as days passes by. however, one day, the young lady remembered everything about her and decided to leave brother Liam despites the fact that they were supposed to get married after a few months. Brother Liam was devastated after she left. that may be the reason why he doesn't want to care for people who doesn't stay for long." Sheena relayed the story.
"So that means he developed a separation anxiety." I whispered. I think I understand how he felt when that woman left him. Being left alone is definitely depressing. My heart stings a bit at the thought of him being lonely. I don't know but I want to see the smile on his face often. The smile I saw when he played with the little children earlier.
"Can you tell me more about him?" I suddenly asked them. I can see the surprise look on their faces but afterward, they smiled wide.
"Young miss, come and sit! It'll gonna be a long story!" I heard Rika uttered in excitement. Why am I feeling that these twins have something in their minds? Are they possibly planning ---. Eh? No! it can't be so I just shrug off my thoughts.
