An Analogous Universe

Chapter 11

As we reached the place, we were highly in doubt if we came to the right destination or not.

"Are you sure this is the place." Jin asked.

"I can't tell." I said and got the diary out of my bag. I opened the particular page and there it was. I showed it to Diena and she nodded as a reply and looked at the old factory in front of us. Since she has this whole country memorized in her mind, her directions can't be wrong.

"This is it." She said, confident with her answer.

"O-old Fa-factory?" Hoseok asked, obviously scared a little. The latter isn't used to these places and he surely doesn't have any fascination over these places I think as I can make out of his demeanor.

"Yup." Rie answered, stuttering a little which isn't very much audible. She didn't look much scared but she surely was, I could feel the Aura.

"Guys! Let's get in." Diena said. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. The factory did look haunted and old. I took a step, then Celestia started dragging me. When I was just at the edge of getting in, I stopped. I tapped my feet on the ground a few times but I just couldn't get myself to get in. Most of them were inside.

"Hey, you're gonna get in?" Taehyung said, worried.

"Yes, I will. Go on." I said.

I was still nervous as hell, if I should get in or not.

"Come on!" multiple voices shouted to me. I hesitantly lifted up my feet and I closed my eyes just as I felt my feet land on a silky floor. Silky?

"Oh my god!"

"This is so beautiful."

"Ohhhhhh..."

"Come, look!"

Hearing the voices of astonishment, I opened my eyes. Oh. My. God. The whole place is a metallic golden color and everything is just shining like new. There are small display tables on both side of the place, one placed after another at a specific distance. And there's three statue figures in the middle. Just as I got both of my legs inside and started walking, the door slammed. Was there even a door?

"Where did the door come from?" Rie asked, terrifyingly surprised. I just shrugged as a response and looked behind. The door was also shining ever so brightly. It had painting carved on. On one side of the painting, there was a woman with a baby in her hands and on the other side, there was a man who was holding the tiny hand of a girl. The girl looked like she just learned to walk. The total picture was incredibly adorable. Something in my heart ached seeing the carving of the family.

"These are similar." Someone said from behind.

I looked behind and saw all of them eyeing the  three figures. I slowly walked towards the statue, the outline getting familiar each second. I went to it's front and I wasn't a tad bit surprised that the statue was the 3D version of the carving on the door. But the total picture was combined. The left hand of the man was on the female's waist and her head was leaning against the man's shoulder.

"This looks like....." Someone behind me trailed which I suppose is Namjoon.

"My family." I said, unknowingly. Just as I realized what I said, my eyes widened and I looked behind. They all had shocked expressions on.

"No need to be so shocked. It's good news that she recognizes her own family." Diena said, gaining her usual form.

"I don't know, how, I- don't even know my family." I said.

"They are in your heart." Diena said. Listening to the statement, a flashback came to my mind.

*"We are always in your heart." my mother said and lovingly kissed my forehead before she put the blanket over my face.*
