The Girl Inside A Book

29 [The Twin]

"A friend of mine is having a beach party this coming sunday." He said.

I nodded.

"Are you inviting me?" I asked. "If you are, then I'll happily decline the offer. Besides, nobody would know me, your friend would also be shock letting a stranger in" I added.

He chuckled.

"Don't worry. He told me I could bring a guest." He said and licked his lower lip. "Besides, you're no stranger to me."

My lips parted hearing what he said while looking straight at me.

"I-I'll think about it." I said.

"Wow, so you two are not acquaintances anymore? Friends, perhaps?" Irene asked while sipping her drink.

I sat on the couch and leaned my back. I wonder if I go there's enough time to know more about him and his life. And, maybe enough time to give me the results.

"I guess. I'm planning to go...but I don't know if I'll enjoy it since I don't know about much people there" Irene giggled like crazy.

She's overeacting.

"I'm sure you'll enjoy yourselves there!" she winked.

I'm not too certain what Irene have in mind. She's too wild for this.

"By the way, you know Alexander from our high school?" I asked, curiously.

"Hm? You mean our class president? Yeah, what about him?" His unusual appearance seemed skeptical. However, If I were to remember-he does have that book. Back then, he didn't allow me to touch it which made it seem more strange.

I mean, it's his book but there is something about him that keeps bothering me.

"Wait, now that I think about it. He was always quiet and whenever I came across to him, I always feel the tremendous amount of fear lingering inside my body. I don't really know why." She said, blankly. "Have you seen him recently, Hana?" Irene asked, worriedly.

I nodded.

"Irene, about the book, the Ennead...in your memory, do you still remember everything?" I asked.

"W-well...I always dreamed about me being Isis and whenever my memory flash through my eyes I just ignored it. I've learned from my mistake, you know that right?" I look at the ceiling. "You know, I'm glad I was reborn again and this time...to be your friend. But, you're still a little sister to me and will always will be." She said, smiling.

"I-I'm sorry too. About what happened in the past." I looked down playing with my fingers. Not a moment, she hugged me tightly.

"Y-you and Nepthyths are the same. You both cared for the others feeling. The Nepthyths then loved Osiris but the Hana I know love Seth more than anyone in the world." She said. "You're maybe her resurrection but I can tell the wide difference from you both. You're not blinded by love and she's too vulgar to commit."

"How about you? Are you moved on from him?" I asked her. She smiled and chuckled.

"I was blinded by love from the past but this time I manage to love myself more." She said. "So, if you're worried about things like that. Dont be. Just be yourself."

"Be myself? Okay. I hate Alexander and my co-nurse's name is Alexandra which is even more irritating but Alexandra is a good person. I just hate the name because it reminds me of that guy." I said, nonchalantly.

Irene just laughed and listened.

"Go on. Tell me more."

"I'm afraid that Horus might also found out-"
