Unknown voice: "Please help me! I'm begging you!"
Siena, who thinks that she has died, keeps hearing this sentence of someone asking for help which is very baffling for me as someone who is dying.
'Does the voice ask her for help?'
But the thing is she has died.
'How could she help the other person?'
As her mind is wandering over this sentence, her eyes are finally able to open as she has been trying for a while, when she feels that her body is somewhat floating.
'Ahh! If her body is floating, means that she is out of breath and her corpse now maybe is floating to the sea surface. and it will look so ugly as she has seen the news about the floating corpse that has died from drowning.'
Siena's thought is again interrupted by an unknown voice that keeps echoing inside her head. However, this time the voice doesn't sound vague anymore, it becomes more distinctive and louder than before, which has a rather coquettish tone that is echoing in her head.
Unknown voice: "Please help me!"
Siena finally turns to her right side and she happens to see a transparent body and has the appearance of a young girl whose age is probably around 15 to 15 years old.
Siena immediately shouts at an unknown girl as she retreats backward 3 steps.
Siena: "Who are you? Are you a ghost? Or a grim reaper from the underworld?"
Unknown girl: "No, no, no, I'm not!"
Siena: "Then what are you?"
Siena still puts her guard up against this particular unknown person in front of her. She doesn't want to be fooled by the little girl's appearance that seems to be young so she puts down her guard. She needs to be wary of everything that is unknown to her right now.
Then, Siena sees that the unknown girl tries to explain to her with her speech and gestures at the same time.
Unknown girl: "Um, I'm so sorry that I frighten you with my appearance. I'm also not sure what is going on. But, one thing I know is that I've died…."
Siena instantly interrupts her.
Siena: "That means we are in heaven?"
Unknown girl: "Um… That… I'm also not sure. But sister, please help me. I'm begging you to help me. Only you can help right now."
Right after she finishes, that girl's tears smoothly roll down from her eyes and the sound of sobbing fills the space.
Siena doesn't know what she can do to help her as she has also died, so she tries to talk to the girl again.
Siena: "You know, I also died. So, I don't know what I can do as I'm in the same situation as you."
The unknown girl immediately holds Siena's hand with both of her hands, as Seina doesn't know when she gets close to her.
Unknown girl: "Sister! You can live again; I promise if you help me."
Siena when she hears that she can be alive again feels tempted by the offer. Another reason is, although all this time she has the suicide thought, she never dares to take any action against herself which is what they call self-harmed. That's why no one knows what is going on inside her mind as she also doesn't talk about it to anybody. She doesn't really want to die though.
Siena with a strong will to live and a reason to going on and plus the magnified beautiful face of the little girl, looking at her with the hopefulness and sparkling eyes which she cannot ignore, eventually gets Siena defeated.
Siena gently nods her head to the little girl with an affirmative answer.
Siena: "Okay, I'll help you."
The unknown girl twirls happily around her and finishes with a bear hug.
Unknown girl: "Thank you so much, sister! I won't forget your kindness. Please use my body as you like. My only wish for you to accomplish is for me to take care of my parents and big brother as they are the only people that I love instead of me because I cannot repay my gratitude for all this year, they took care of me as my time has come. And you sister, please make yourself happy too. Thank you so much, sister! I'm going to go sister. Goodbye!"
The unknown girl says the words so suddenly and quite fast, but Siena still catches the meaning of her words.
'Live in her body.'
'Take care of her parents, and big brother.'
Right after the little girl finishes her speech, she slowly lets go of Siena while her body appears to vanish little by little like dust blown by the wind.
As Siena watches the little girl slowly disappear from her sight, she immediately realizes that she hasn't asked her for a name.
Siena: "Hey! What's your name?"
Unknown girl: "You will find everything when you wake up in my body. This is my gift to you, sister benefactor."
Siena: "Wait...!"
Before Siena can finish her sentence, an invisible force appears out of nowhere pulls her towards the shining door-like shape and with that, her consciousness falls into the darkness.
Siena's consciousness gradually awakens as she feels so suffocated and something seems to stick in her throat and she wants to vomit it out.
After trying for a while, with one final push from the outside, finally there is a result. Instantly, she vomits the water that stuck her throat, then she keeps on coughing her lungs out.
With the last resort of her strength, she opens her eyes and gives one last look at people around her wondering what the heck is going on with her before she faints.
-----------------------------------------------
Siena now regains her consciousness. She slowly opens her eyes facing with a burst of bright sunshine shining on her face, making her hurry to close her eyes again.
She lifts her hand to block the sunshine as she opens her eyes and looks at the surroundings. She seems to be in a hospital. However, to her wonder, the hospital room seems to be extravagant as everything screams expensive and luxurious.
'Am I alive?'
This question remains in her head since she first opens her eyes during the rescue. She wonders if somebody besides her family at the beach saved her as she did not recognize the man who had saved her.
She looks around the room again but this time to find where the toilet is because right now she needs it. As she prepares to descend from the bed, the door suddenly opens.
A female nurse makes a surprised expression than a happy expression as she walks gently towards her that is in the bed.
The nurse: "Miss, you're awake! Your family has been worried about you. Just now where are you trying to go?"
Siena: "Ah! I'm just trying to go to the bathroom."
The nurse: "Let me help you!"
Siena: "It's okay! I can go by myself."
Right after Siena declines the help from the female nurse, she gets off the bed, but she hasn't been able to stand properly before she falls back to sit on the bed.
The female nurse makes a helpless expression as she helps Siena stabilize herself.
The nurse: "You've not eaten for 3 days, so you don't have enough energy to stand on your own. So, just hang on to me."
Siena: "Alright."
Siena has no choice but to lend her body to the female nurse as she helps her walk to the bathroom. When they arrive, the female nurse tells her to hold the hospital crane.
The nurse: "While you're at it, I will go to inform your family. After you're done, please call me. I will escort you back to the bed."
Siena nods at the female nurse as she pushes open the bathroom door. She quickly does her business as she really does feel weak right now.
After she's done, she goes to the wash bin to clean her hands. Siena usually looks at the mirror while her hands are washing.
Thus, the moment she lays her eyes on the mirror in front of her, her eyes wide open as she stares straight into a person in front of her.
The person in front of her appears to be a pretty Asian girl who seems to be wearing a hospital gown like her, she guessed.
The girl has black long hair that length until her waist. She has a black iris with peach blossom eyes that appear soft and delicate.
She has an oval face with a sharp chin, rosy pink heart-shaped lips with spotless skin on her face. She also has a beautiful body, a curvy hourglass body shape with a slim figure and white porcelain skin. But, right now she is quite pale for a beauty like her as if she is sick.
Overall, a big beauty appears in the mirror. But,...
'Is this a two-way mirror or the one-way mirror that I can see the other side?'
To confirm her thought, she waves her hand to the other person. The other person also waved her hand at Siena at the same time.
Siena is shocked at the reaction, then she pinches her cheek with both hands on both sides. At the same time, the girl in the mirror also does the same as her.
'No way!'
Siena: "Why are you copying me?"
There is no answer from the other side as Siena sees that the girl in the mirror opens her mouth and seems like lip-syncing with her.
This time Siena is shocked to the core. She realizes that the girl in the mirror is her right now.
However, the problem is this is not her body at all. She doesn't have that beautiful face nor that good figure on her body.
'What happened?'
Siena thinks that she's died, but now she appears to be alive and kicking, not in her own body, but someone else's body.
'Did I transmigrate or reincarnate? Am I alive on earth or somewhere else?'
'Oh god!'
Siena thinks of a different scenario but she cannot put it together to be relevant to her situation.
'Is this a novel world, otome game world, manga world, anime world, or the parallel world?'
'But if it is a novel, which novel is it? I have read over thousands of thousands of novels over the years. How can I remember the plot and the character as I never care about the character's name? Oh my god! I'm dead.'
As she thinks about this until she arrives at this conclusion, she gives up. She exits the bathroom and calls the female nurse to help her to bed.
When she plans to sleep again, the door is bust open with a strong force.
*Bang*
Then an elegant lady with a worried face comes running toward her followed by a handsome uncle and a mature man behind her.
The elegant aunt quickly arrives near her and holds her hands firmly while her expression fills with both worries and happiness.
The elegant aunt: "Elli, my daughter! Did you hurt somewhere? Are you feeling okay right now? Do you have discomfort somewhere in your body? Does your head hurt right now? Please tell mommy, if you feel uncomfortable, okay?"
As the elegant aunt keeps babbling about her health, her head that is okay at the moment starts to hurt like somebody uses a hammer to nail down on her head.
The mature man who is beside the elegant aunt suddenly reminds her.
The mature man: "Mom, stop! It looks like her head is hurting. Let me call the doctor and let her rest first. She seems to be in pain right now."
With the reminder from her son, the elegant aunt quickly glances back to her daughter and sees her daughter hold her head with both hands and curls into a ball.
The elegant aunt: "Quickly go! Your sister is in pain right now."
The mature man goes to press the red button that is mounted against the wall at the bed frame.
The handsome uncle and elegant aunt with the help of the female nurse, quickly help Siena into a sleeping position as they try to calm her down.
As for Siena, the moment her head starts hurting, her consciousness seems to faint again. She dreams a long dream that appears to be memories of someone who is the original owner of her body right now. And she also realizes that it was this girl that sought her help during that moment.
