Chapter 3

"I booked a ticket yesterday, my name is Simone yousuke" I said to the teller.

"Flight 8765, here's your ticket madam" she said to me and gave me my ticket.

Its still 7:00 am, and my flight is 9 am. But I have to be there 2 hours before the time, so I went to the field, and after 10 minutes of procedure, I am sitted at the window side of the plane. The flight will took 1 hour, so I positioned myself to be comfortable, and I fell asleep.

"WELCOME TO ARAMASU ISLAND, THIS IS YOUR PILOT SPEAKING; WISH YOU HAD A RELAXING TRIP, GOOD DAY!"

I was awaken by the protocol and saw the view of Aramasu Island in the windowpane. Since I only have 1 bag, I immediately went down. The freshness of the air welcomed me as I stepped outside. As I've imagined, the wind is slapping my face. I took a sigh and went to the arrival area. There are lots of tourist guides welcoming the new arrivals. There were 2 who eagerly want to be my tour guide. And when there is a woman coming to me, I hurriedly went to the powder room.

I took my compact and put some powder on my face, I can see that I was really looking pale, so I put some blush to make it even. My lips are also pale so I put some lipgloss in it. When I combed my hair, I noticed lots of strands falling. We were 3 in the powder room and the other one is looking at me, so I stopped combing and went out.

I went to the taxi stand and noticed a guy who is eyeing me. I remembered the movie, "taken." So I went quickly to the taxi just before he could be near to me.

"What place miss?" the driver asked me.

"Uhm, to hantekado restaurant please" and we drove off.

The place is so just like paradise, this is my first time in the island since our family got a phobia of what happened before, and this is also my first time to set off alone. I can sight many restaurants in the place, many trees, and I can see the beach not far from it. I was enjoying watching the leaves of the trees when the taxi man spoke.

"We're here, miss"

I looked at my right side and saw the familiar resto's signage. This is exactly what I've seen in the sakura TV.

"Its 5 bucks, miss" he spoke again. I got my wallet, paid him, and I went out. As soon as I stepped my foot on the ground, I can't stop my heart from beating so fast. I took a long sigh and went into the restaurant.

The restaurant is a bungalow type; just what I've seen on TV, so I went in, and to my surprise, the place is so fantastic. It is decorated with hanging lights, the tables and chairs were made of wooden with a taste of habanera. I enjoyed watching the place until the man beside me, whom I guess is the waiter is raising his eyebrow. He went and approached me.

"Why are you so early takada? And why are you dressed like that?" he made a head-to-toe eye movement.

"Eh?" I was shocked.

"And did you curl your hair?" he was looking at my big curls. Oh god, did I was just mistaken that I am my other twin?

"I-im sorry mister, I am looking for someone...Who plays with fire?" I stood straight and faced him.

"HA-HA! You kidding me? Why are you looking for yourself? Do you have fever? Or you're crazy perhaps?" he was about to touch my forehead when I moved backwards.

"No mister, you've mistaken me for someone. My name is Simone yousuke and I'm here to look for my twin" I said directly and clearly for him to understand me. He was so startled when I mentioned the word "twin". He was just staring at me and observed my entire face like I have some dirt in it.

"I-is her name, takada?" I was nervous, and saw him nodding slowly.

"Where can I find her?"

"You really look alike" his face was like hypnotized.

"We're identical twins, we were separated 8 years ago" I smiled at him.

"Hmm... Let's go there" he was circling me with his index finger on his chin, and led me outside.

"What are we doing here?" I asked him, and saw him calling someone.

"Just wait" he winked. They're maybe best friends, I think.

"Hello, takada? hey, can you be early today? There's someone waiting for you... it's a surprise, you know... stop blabbing, just be early, she's waiting for you.. I'm hanging up, bye" I heard him talking to his phone. After their conversation, he faced me.

"By the way, I'm zaza, simone right? And he gave his hand, and we shook it.

"You'll meet her by 4, why don't you rest for awhile? Its still 11:30. Come, I'll serve you lunch"

"Thank you, thank you so so much, zaza" I gave him my warmest smile, and saw him blushed.

"Takada is like a sister to me. You are always welcome, miss Simone" I saw him stood straight. And he lead me inside.
