They approached them with smiling faces before introducing themselves.
"Am Everand Ferdinard the first, nice meeting you." He introduced himself with a raised brow and a nonchalant look as if showing his pride.
"Am Kareen Ferdinard the second, am so happy to have you here." Kareen introduced herself with a wide grin and happy dark blue eyes like Valeria and Everand's.
"My name's Phoebe Ferdinard, a pleasant surprise." She introduced with a dull face because their presence was not important.
"Here are Hubert and Valeria." Mrs Ferdinard introduced finally.
"You didn't introduce yourselves." Hubert noticed.
"Oh, pardon me my dear, am Rehab and my husband's Japheth." After the introductions, they sat down on different chairs.
"Your eyes, they are magnificent and mysterious." Everand complimented and Valeria's eyes enlarged at his compliment.
"Oh, thanks."
Turning their heads from one person to another, Mr and Mrs Ferdinard decided to give them space to get acquainted. Valeria sipped her juice quietly as her eyes wandered about, while Hubert gave them a stern look until he jam eyes with Everand and they gave each other a hard stare which the other sisters noticed. Clearing her throat, Kareen spoke.
"Come Valeria, let me tour you around." Turning her head to Hubert, she asked with her eyes and he nodded with a smile which she returned. Standing up, she followed Kareen.
"It seems like you both are close." Everand noticed their exchange of words through the eyes.
"Yes we are, but more than that." Hubert raised his eyebrows innocently as he smirked.
"I see, I would love to know what that more is." Everand acted ignorant.
"Oh you will."
Hubert leaned coolly on the couch as he sipped the juice while still keeping eye contact with Everand.
"I guess we gonna be GOOD brothers." He stressed and it never passed Hubert's notice. Watching them like an interesting movie, Phoebe spoke.
"You look suspicious."
"So do you." Hubert backfired, but she wasn't shocked.
"And why is that?" She wanted to know what he suspected in her. Gulping all the content in the glass cup, Hubert began to access her from head to toe before sighing.
"Isn't it obvious? This facade of yours is a show." Giving him a sharp look with her dark black eyes see narrowed her eyes at him.
"So do you." She retorted dully and he smiled back harmlessly before adding.
"If people don't have sharp eyes to notice, then they were really fooled to not suspect you matured teens to be blood related with your extremely young parents."
He winked at the shocked Phoebe before he stood up and strode out of the room with Everand's eyes following him intently.
"Wow, such large field!" Valeria exclaimed at the sight of an evergreen field with few trees.
"I know right? We come here to relax our minds." Kareen told her as they moved on side by side. After a long walk in silence, Kareen broke it.
"Please, don't mind my question, but, are you and Hubert close?...I mean together?" She used her crossed finger for more enlightenment to her question. Valeria smiled brightly.
"Is it obvious?"
"Yes, he's very possessive of you, his actions were very much readable."
"Oh! I never knew." Kareen laughed at Valeria's cute face.
"How old are you?" Valeria questioned.
"Fifteen."
"What about your siblings?"
"Well Everand's 17 while Phoebe's 14."
"Really? Am also 14." Valeria exclaimed happily.
That's great Val, I bet we'll be good siblings."
Valeria felt comfortable in Kareen's presence and prayed for them to remain like this. Before Valeria could put her feet forward as she walked, an image of Kareen and her who were much more matured with little children playing with them flashed before her eyes and she gasped, shocked by what happened.
"Is something wrong Val?" Snapping her already large eyes at Kareen she smiled confusingly.
"I guess I am," was her light response.
