"Finally, I'm here.." She whispered with a smile on her face and stepped out slowly from the train door, she paused for a moment while looking around her surroundings.
A lady at her 20's,
hourglass and model-like body, perky breasts, smooth alabaster skin,
long and lustrous silky dark hair flowing downwards, reaching her well-rounded buttocks,
attractively long smooth legs, Captivating almond-shaped eyes,
Her small, attractive nose complementing her other facial features,
And her smile that lights up her surroundings.
An angelic face that captivate the eyes around her.
"Sherina!" A woman's voice echoed in the area. A short haired blonde woman in her 20's, wearing a casual pants and a plain white shirt, She happily waved her hand to catch the attention of the woman who just came out of the train.
Sherina Sze, wearing a lightweight fabric, casual summer white dress, with a big red ribbon hanging on the back of her hair, puling a small black suitcase, and a cute red sling bag looked at the person that shouted and ran towards her.
"Oh hey! Liliana!" With a bright smile on her face, she hugged the woman.
"Oh my gosh! Delliana was right. You are so beautiful! You look like a famous model! Are you sure you aren't?" Liliana jokingly chuckled.
"Haha! Stop it! I'm nothing compared to Delly" Sherina giggled.
"Well, you must be tired from the travel. We should go back to the Mansion! Grandma and the others are excited to meet you" -Liliana
A butler besides Liliana gently took the suitcase from Sherina and escorted her to a black, glossy luxurious-like car. 20 minutes away from the train station is where The Villa Mansion is and she plans to stay there for a month.
This isn't her house, its her Best friend Delliana's mansion.
After staying in an island country for 2 years, She finally decided to go back to S city, but before going back, She wanted to have a little breather,
Eight hours drive, Southeast from S city is a small remote province called "Tana province"
This is where Delly's mansion is located.
She offered Sherina to have a vacation at her mansion before she goes back to living her life in S city.
The car halt in front of a long lengthy set of stairs, in the end of the stairs is a huge double glass door, few maids where in line, and there were two elderly people in the middle, patiently waiting for her.
"I wish Delly is here with me" She whispered to herself and took a deep breathe before walking out of the car, looking at the surroundings and being amaze at the huge castle-like mansion.
"Welcome Sherina, Finally, we meet," the elderly woman greeted while holding Sherina's hand. they welcomed her with warm hugs and gentle smiles on their faces.
Sherina genuinely smiles and answered.
"Thank you, Grandma"
Sherina's POV
As I walk inside the mansion, something exceptional caught my attention,
in the middle of the hallway is a huge, full length portrait of a family.
"Its Delly" I whispered smiling while looking at the little blonde girl in the portrait, beside her is a tall, handsome blonde young boy. "Must be her brother.."
The foreigner woman, Her mother, beautiful and elegant sitting in a glass chair with a short, silky blonde hair, holding Delly's shoulder.
And a very Tall, dark and handsome man with a serious face, standing beside the woman. His father is an Italian Chinese businessman.
"What a perfect combination" I said to myself.
They all look so beautiful, like they were all given a royal blood from the heavens.
But Delly told me they are just a normal middle class family, her father and her big brother owns a small business, and her mother is working in the government.
Sounds like not a "middle class family" for me.
"Well, It looks like a perfect family" I told myself and smiled.
"But then I wonder, Why Delly doesn't want to go back.?"
End of POV
In a hallway, with a long glass dinner table, echoes the sounds of the cutlery, the fancy glass chandelier emits a light yellow light, brightening up the area.
The place is so fancy yet warming.
The elderly people, Delaila and Diego are Delly's grandparents, Liliana, sitting beside Sherina is Delly's cousin, beside her is her toddler son, Don.
The middle aged woman, sitting in front of Sherina is Dona, she is the mother of Liliana. And beside her is Liliana's big brother Landon.
"By the way, How tall are you? You have a very good figure Sherina, you should be a model." Delaila said in a cheerful yet slow tone.
"You have a very attractive height young lady, most ordinary ladies in your age are not as tall as you specially here in Asian countries" - Diego added
"I'm around 173 cm grandma and grandpa, and i'm okay with myself for now, i have no plans in modelling industry" Sherina chuckles
"I cant imagine you and Delly together, im sure both of you won a lot of hearts in that small remote island" the Auntie, Dona laughed
"And it looks like you are taller than Delly, are you older than her?" - Big brother Landon
"Well actually..." Sherina paused for a moment and answered "She's 2 years older than me"
"So you're 27, young and full of life huh.." Landon answered.
"So how is Delly?" Delaila Asked.
"She's full of energy and enjoys her life there. I asked her to come with me but she really doesn't feel like leaving the island yet." Sherina answered.
Delaila and Diego paused for a moment and looked at each other after hearing what Sherina said.
"We have to say, we are so thankful that you saved Delly that day. We couldn't do anything back then" Diego graciously smiled to Sherina.
Sherina smiled and calmly eats her dinner. While having dinner and talking to the family, she looked back on how she met Delly in the island 2 years ago.
Sherina's Pov
That was the end of July, I just moved in this Island province 2 weeks ago. I work as a home based tutor at day, and I work as a Waitress in a small bar in this island at night.
Its not about the money.
I work day and night in order to make myself busy and tired.
I wanted to forget myself, to forget my past, to forget my feelings.
Its been 4 months since the tragic part of my life took place. I moved and disappeared to escape my past.
Walking in the side of the street, I passed in a tight alley, and I saw people, Men.
I stopped and looked closely,
In a narrow passage like that, There is a woman surrounded by 5 men.
A very beautiful woman,
her skin is as pale as white,
blonde long hair,
wearing a pink bucket hat,
Oversized t shirt but still shows the shape of her hourglass body.
a denim short that complements her slender legs
And a crumpled face mask in the ground close to her white sneakers
But behind her overflowing beauty, you cant deny the emotion that shows in her eyes.
Fear and sadness.
"Come on cutie! What do you say? It'll be fun, I'm sure you will also enjoy"
The men giggled.
"Please, just let me go" the lady answered with her shaky low voice
"We'll let you go if you just make us happy, you know?" The one man said
I felt so furious, I couldn't take it anymore. Without even thinking, I dropped my groceries and act.
I rushed through the alley. I ran so fast and grabbed the Lady's hand, without looking at the men around her, I pulled her with me and ran!
The men behind us were shouting and cursing,
two of them also tried to catch us..
Luckily, my apartment house was just a few meters away.
I took her in with me. Asked her to stay in my place for the meantime and we got along together so fast. She is kind, gentle and a bubbly girl.
She's also a new resident in this island, a week or 2, and doesn't know anything about living independently
She looks like she came from a rich family.
After that day, we've been so close together, she talked to my landlord and moved to the room beside mine.
She is an artist, she loves painting. Every time I watch her paint, I can see her eyes filled with passion. She started working as an Art teacher in this island.
I felt like, we are the same
For her, its also not about the money
Talk about destiny, it seems like she's also running away from something, or someone.
But I never asked her reasons.
For two years, we were inseparable, That is until I decided to go back to S city,
I received a Scholarship award from the most prestigious university in S city. I got a good opportunity to finish my degree in Psychology. And to be honest, Delly is the one who encouraged me to accept this scholarship, without her support, I wouldn't have accepted it and remained in that island country for the rest of my life.
That's how I became friends with Delliana Liu
