~~~ Evangelica ~~~

"Wake up onēsan! (Older sister) wake up!"

I heard someone shout while I felt them jump up and down to my bed

Slowly opening my eyes Kaze's face greeted me making me jump in surprise and accidentally hitting Zeen's forehead

"Owwww" we groaned while Kaze is laughing out loud

"What time is it?" I asked as I gently stroke the bump on Zeen's forehead

"It's already 7 in the morning dear, get up and eat your breakfast" Aunt Shakira said as she entered the room

"Coming" I fixed the bed and then I went out

I sat on the chair and started eating "Aunt thank you for inviting me to your house" I thanked after eating the last piece on my plate

"No need dear, besides it's not like I can just send you off knowing you've got nowhere to go" Aunt said as she started to clean the dishes while I fixed the table

"Thank you, really" I thanked once more. It's been a long time since someone has cared for me so I really want to treasure this feeling.

I smile at the thought but then I remembered what I really am. I wonder, will they still show this kind of actions to me even if they'll know who I really am?

The smile vanished from my face which aunt noticed and came closer to keep after washing the dishes

"Evangelica dear, why don't you go with the kids at the ocean today? Today's weather is really beautiful and so is the ocean. It might help lighten your mood a bit" she said as the kids beside me scream in excitement

"Lets go!" Both yelled as they hurriedly run outside and towards the ocean

I couldn't help but giggle at the sight. The people here are really caring and loving, even to a stranger like me they give me the love and care they would to their own child. They give people hospitality even to those they don't know.

"Onēsan c'mon!" Kaze shouted once more while Zeen came back to grab my arm and pulled me

"Alright, alright let's go" I ran along them and since the shore is just close we arrived in no time

As soon as I laid eyes at It, I immediately fell in love at the sight. The ocean is beautiful as the wind blows over my hair and the seagulls fly high. The sight was calming and gives you tranquillity.

Without a thought I ran towards the waters and splash it high as I enjoy the drops touch my skin. I freely spread my arms and close my eyes as I feel the breeze come to me.

This was a first for me, even as a kid I never really got the freedom I've longed hence I never really had any fun experiences

Caught in my thoughts I forgot I was with the kids and before I could open my eyes I felt a huge wave of water at me. Opening my eyes, I saw the brothers with their lips grinning ear to ear as they keep splashing me with water

"Hahahaha, onesan's wet!" They said as they run around me while laughing

"Why you little.... take that!" I said as I took revenge by splashing them back while laughing at them

Without noticing it we were already chasing each other on the shore while giving each other a splash

Then the brothers suddenly jumped at me making us fall into the water "hahaha. Kids really are full of energy" I laughed as they let go of their embrace as they stood up and helped me on my feet

"Ne, ne, want to race with us onesan?" Zeen joyfully said as he pulls me again, deeper into the ocean

"Hmmm but before that, I've been wondering about this for a while but the way you speak. Are you Japanese? Though you don't look anything like one at all" I asked

"Ah, Mother sometimes speaks Japanese so we just naturally learned it" Zeen answered

"Mmm, mother also said that our father is half Japanese. I heard that its our mother tongue when I was still a baby but ever since he left us it changed but completely forgetting the language was impossible so that's how the way we speak changed" Kaze continued

Shocked at what he said, I couldn't help but ask "Your father... left you?"

He nodded with his smile still intact "Mmm, mother said that his involved into something bad and that its too late for him to back out so he left"

"I-im sorry for asking" I apologized.

"No it's okay. Mother said that he left us because he loved us. He left us because he didn't want to involve us in his mess... that's what mother said" he cheerfully said as he dive into the ocean to join his brother

I was amazed. For a kid to think so matured, he didn't hate his father for what he did and instead of hating him he chose to look at the bright side and accepted what his father has done.

They're still a child and yet they already carry and experienced hardship. Hopefully, as time goes by they can still smile and laugh like this along with the beautiful ocean.

I smile escaped my lips as I watch the brothers swim gladly and happily in the ocean.

"Onesan! Come on and play with us!" They shouted.

"Wait for me!" I responded as I swim to their direction and teased them

~~~ Third Person's POV ~~~

Meanwhile, back at the mansion of that man

"Well, how is she?" He asked as he impatiently waits his reply

"Sire, she's doing fine. The people who saved her from the ocean took her in and is treated her well" he said as he showed him a video of her playing in the ocean and happily laughing

He couldn't help but feel hurt inside. It was the first time for him to see her that happy. Not once did she ever laugh out loud like that nor even smile while she was with him

"Good. For now don't keep track on her. Let her feel the freedom that I promise I've given her." He ignored the pain he felt and dismissed him

"You sure about that? Your woman may seem harmless and all but she's not one to be underestimated. Once you lose track of her it'll be hard to find and track her down. Especially with the things you've done to her, she'll do everything in her power to never get caught by you again" his older brother said as he drink his wine

"Haha. That's just it. No matter what I've done to her I know deep within her still wants me. And even if she really do hate me, I can just use those close to her to make her come back to me" he chuckled as he pointed out the children beside her
