Cupid's Portal

Part 5: It's Her

The text says that upon entering this world, you must follow the essential rule; do not speak about your real identity, you must hide it. On this place, you'll be called as Connor. Your age will not change so you can tell it to your partner. Nevertheless, it's only you and your partner lived in this realm and you ought to live together until six months. After six months, your stay will be over and you'll be back on real life. But if you broke the rule, you'll be tossed back in your real life immediately afterwards. Cupid will punish you as well, he might not let you have a partner anymore so be careful.

With that, the book closed forcefully by its own. Still astounded, I opened it again but as I turned the pages I found nothing but all blank pieces of paper. The texts might have turned invisible or been erased. It was too strange. I haven't read about these errands from the book I bought. And speaking of Red's Secrets, silly me just left it in the corridor.

I just closed that mysterious book and headed to the door. Upon the opening it, some unknown thing has shaken me as an entity for the breathtaking view welcomed me. I felt the fresh air gently sang its lullaby, making the white wildflowers dance in this extensive meadow. You could see butterflies everywhere and hear the chirping of birds throughout the forest encircling the wide grassland. Not to mention the beautiful waterfall connected with the blue river from afar. All in all, the place was like a peaceful haven, a perfect paradise.

While feeling the puffs of wind, the door behind me suddenly slammed that made me startled. Upon trying to open it, I just realized that it was a little hut from the outside. This hut seems not a big deal so I turned around as I spread my eyes throughout the beautiful scenery, leaving that hut been totally ignored.

In a short distance, I could see a mansion which is not that big but it's having a nice structure. I guess, it'll be our house so I decided to go over there. After some minutes of walking, I've reached its entrance. It doesn't have walls of fence around it but just some welcoming cobblestones for a path way to its door.

I opened the door as it was not lock then entered the house. I explored the entire place and noticing the framework designs look simple yet aesthetically pleasing. It has two floors, having the kitchen, dining and living room on the ground floor while bedroom on the second floor. It's so convenient and I think the electricity as well as the water supply is unlimited. There are food supplies on the fridge as well making everything seem fine. Looks like we have nothing to worry about here.

My partner hasn't arrived yet so I sat on the sofa to take some rest. I took a glance on the wall clock and realized it's already 3pm. I just got here for about an hour so I'm getting confused. I guess, it's 3am in real world while 3pm in this realm. It's kinda complicated to comprehend so I just closed my eyes while resting.

I haven't fallen asleep yet so I still have my consciousness. I heard someone opened the door so I opened my eyes and turned to its direction. There I found an angel in a red dress carrying a basket. She's so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes away from her.

The description I wrote on the letter describes her precisely. Her wavy brown hair that flows down to her waist swayed as she turned around at my direction. For a moment our eyes met and we stared at each other. I guess, it's her...

I abstain staring at her and focused my eyes on something else. So then, she just quietly walked to my direction and sat on the sofa which in front of me. I'm too shy to start a conversation so I remained silent.

After some moment, I decided to take a glance at her once again but her eyes caught mine. I got mesmerized this time as it's nearer now. I feel like of getting lost in those splendid lovely pair of eyes. With all the honesty, those are the prettiest things I've ever seen.
