Chereads / THE DESIRE / Chapter 28 - Meet Again after Five Years.

Chapter 28 - Meet Again after Five Years.

Peter who knows nothing is currently still in the forest, while Ana begins to think twice about wanting to open the mysterious path once again.

Ana sits back down, she looks dazed. She didn't know what the real danger was that was targeting her until now, was it right to return to that forest again? Ana began to be unsure.

"Have I been approaching the source of danger all this time? Have I been doing the wrong thing all this time?" asked Ana confusedly.

Ana's head hurts thinking about all this, she closes the book she is reading, then she walks while holding her aching head in a daze she opens the library door and leaves the library towards the garden.

Ana needs fresh air at this time, she feels she can't breathe properly, very short of breath.

Ana walks aimlessly, her head full of unclear thoughts, fear dominates her mind.

Unknowingly Ana walked towards the place where the mysterious road was, she doesn't know what led her there but Ana's feet stepped there without her being able to prevent it.

"Why am I here?" mumbled Ana confused.

She glanced left and right, scanning her surroundings, her eyes couldn't leave the place where the mysterious road appeared 5 years ago, during these 5 years no matter how many times or how long she paid attention to the mysterious road, the road still didn't have any response.

Remembering the dangers that have been threatening her for the past five years, Ana, who initially wanted to approach the place where the mysterious path appeared, hesitated and stopped where she was standing now.

As Ana's mind wandered around filled with incoherent thoughts, suddenly a golden yellow light appeared right where the mysterious path had appeared five years ago.

"What is this? What does this mean??" asked Ana surprised.

Without any preparation, just like the previous moments, Ana disappeared from the garden and reappeared in the forest.

Ana closed her eyes in surprise and when she opened her eyes again she was in the forest, right under the shady tree where they had first met.

"Are you kidding me?!" shouted Ana to no one.

The mysterious path is suddenly active again, what does this mean? For five years she has tried everything but when she finds out the truth, the mysterious path suddenly reappears without warning, of course it feels like someone is joking with her and Ana doesn't like that.

"Who is there?"

A cold voice sounded from the other side of the tree, Ana got a little goosebumps hearing that voice and became silent.

"Who is there?"

Repeat the voice again still with the same cold tone.

"Peter?" asked Ana unsure.

"Ana?"

The voice softened, no longer cold.

"Are you really Peter?" asked Ana again trying to make things clear.

"Of course I'm Peter, who do you think I am?" asked Peter again from behind the tree.

"Umm...who are you with?" asked Ana unsure.

"I am alone." Peter answered firmly.

"Is that true?" asked Ana while poking her head from behind the tree.

"Hello Ana. Long time no see." said Peter smiling when he saw a head sticking out from behind the tree.

This girl who worries him, this girl who suddenly appears and suddenly disappears, the girl who treats Peter as he is even always fights with him.

The girl who mysteriously has a special charm to him even though they've only met twice.

"Peter! Long time no see!" said Ana jumping from behind the tree with a very wide smile.

Five years, all the complaints, worries and fears that were in Ana's mind disappeared when she saw the handsome teenager in front of her, Peter became very handsome after five years of not seeing each other.

"How have you been these five years?" asked Peter in a friendly tone.

"Ah...I'm fine. How about you? Sorry I suddenly disappeared that day." said Ana in a sorry tone.

"That's fine. How did you suddenly disappear that day?" asked Peter curiously.

"That..." Ana looked doubtful but continued her words "I don't know, suddenly a golden yellow light filled my vision and I have appeared in the family castle inexplicably."

"Is that so? Does this have something to do with the disappearance of the invisible wall?" asked Peter uncertainly.

"I don't know, the invisible wall disappeared suddenly?" asked Ana curiously.

"Yeah, that weird wall disappeared and you disappeared too. What have you been doing for the past five years?" asked Peter again.

"Not much. I just spend my days in the library."

"You like reading books?"

"Well...that's how it is."

Their conversation stopped without anyone making a sound.

"How about you?" asked Ana to break the silence.

"I am also fine."

"What are you doing here?" asked Ana again.

Peter was silent, he didn't know what to say, but somehow the courage came from his mouth without realizing it, "Waiting for you."

Peter immediately covered his mouth, he couldn't control himself, this stupid mouth. Peter glanced at Ana awkwardly.

The girl looked a little flustered but immediately spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere created by Peter's words.

"Waiting for me? You waiting for me? Sorry for suddenly disappearing five years ago." said Ana a little regretfully.

Peter shook his head, "It's okay. It's not your fault."

The atmosphere became quiet again, the two of them were not people who spoke well, moreover they had not seen each other for five years, nor were they too close to be called old friends, because five years ago they had only met twice before losing contact and meeting each other for the third time five years later.

Ana and Peter are both confused about what to talk about.

"You know..." the two said at the same time amidst the long silence that had passed before.

Peter and Ana were shocked, but Peter immediately said, "You speak first."

"No. You speak first." said Ana to Peter.

"You can speak first. I'll be fine talking later." said Peter smiling.

Ana sighed then said, "Okay."

Ana closed her eyes, she was still unsure whether to say this but Ana chose to say what she had just met regarding the truth of the mysterious path.

"You see. That mysterious path is actually a path created from ancient magic as an escape medium when it was surrounded in our family castle."

"I see." said Peter nodding.

"Yeah. And...and...I found out, that the reason...um...the reason that the path was no longer active for these five years was because I was in danger so...so the path closed itself off to save me." said Ana carefully watching Peter's face.

"You're in danger? What do you mean—" Peter stopped when he realized something.

Is it possible?!

"You know something?" asked Ana when she saw Peter's face change.

"No. Maybe I'm wrong." said Peter shaking his head.
