Today is the last day of lake vacation. He was having lunch with the large family of Atkinston, in the inn they had rented for two days.
"I still want to be here," said Aleda Atkinston, who was the third child of the family and the only daughter there.
"Why? We should immediately return to London," reject the mother, Beatrix Atkinston.
"It comforts me here, ma'am. It was a magnificent sight, in contrast with bustling London each day," Aleda replied.
"I have to go back to London tonight, you know," father said, Alferd Atkinston.
"Your father was right, Aleda. Your brother Lake should be going back too 'cause he worked as a cop over there," said Beatrix.
Aleda seems upset, "Well, Alan and I will be here for a few days. We're not working yet."
"Alan?" asked Lake was surprised, he looked at a second child named Alan, "Can you watch Aleda?"
Alan had a handsome face, but he was a quiet, cold man. That's the reason why Lake was skeptical about his sister's request, Alan's chapter was not concerned about anything in the vicinity.
"I'm not sure I can count on that boy," mocked Alferd.
"He's your son too, Alferd. And he's Aleda's brother, I'm sure he'll look after his sister," said Beatrix.
"As far as I know, I have only one son and one daughter," said Alferd.
Lake is silent, as is Aleda. They realized that the cold was beginning to feel lurking.
"Alferd, we are eating together. Please behave, and behave. Respect your son a little bit. Let our family settle for the holidays," demanded Beatrix.
At that moment, Alan suddenly got out of his seat. He was still quiet, before he gave his mother the faint smile, "I'm done, and I want to walk around the beach. Thank you for the food."
Afterwards he walked away, and actually walked toward the beach. The step comes to a halt at the edge of the sand that is near the water. Several times a small wave carried water to make his feet wet, but he didn't care about it.
His gaze was as cold as an icy hill, his face flatter than the still water, the cold always enveloped him. That's what people saw about him, that no one understood him, and no one wanted to ask him.
He walked into the water slowly, there was nothing in his mind, he just walked with his instincts saying that this was the end of it all. Even Alan doesn't realize when he goes too far, until the very last step he goes into.
Alan sank in the ocean, he didn't move at all making the water sink more easily. His gaze was turned upward, where the land was no longer in sight, and only the light was witness to his drowning.
However, as he was about to close his eyes, a hand pulled at his waist and carried him to the surface. Alan could see the beautiful face of a woman pulling at his body, as their present position was side by side with a nearby face.
Every now and then, she turned to him and made their noses touch. Then she refocused on her goal to save Alan, but Alan's gaze fell on his nearby tail. One of his hands gently touched the tail, and he could feel the fish's flippers smooth over there. It feels a little rough, and it's very slippery like touching a snake's skin. However, there is a slight softness here as if there is a distinction between a sea creature and a snake.
By the time they had half of their bodies on the ground, the woman was pulling Alan with enough power. Take the man to the beach, and put him on the sand.
Larissa, a beautiful mermaid with a dark grey tail helped Alan almost shut his eyes perfectly. She did first aid on Alan, squeezing her chest a few times. She would do his best to save the man, "Sir? You must be okay, you must survive!" Cried Larissa and kept trying to save Alan.
Until finally, Alan opened his eyes again. He coughed out some of the water swallowed by it, hoping that it would not enter the fatal areas of his lungs.
As the man sat on the sand, Larissa looked at his handsome face in front of her. It looked sad, dejected, and full of dark shadows. This was the first time she saw a human being with such an aura, making her empathy appear suddenly. In fact, Larissa forgot her tail wasn't even dry.
"Y-you?"
Alan looked surprised, but his face was still blank. He gazed at the woman before him from the head down to the tip of her long tail. The fins on the woman's tail look shiny in the bright sun, making her beautiful in anyone's eyes.
"Is the master all right? Swimming in the depths like that is not a good thing, especially if you're not wearing any equipment. You could die in the ocean," Larissa counseled.
"Mermaid?" asked Alan.
Larissa looked at the tail and she breathed for a moment. This is the second time humans have seen it in its tail. She turned around and walked away.
Before the man he had helped knock her hand out, making Larissa turn back to look at him. The one who was able to make him feel pain, and pity at the same time as he looked into those blank eyes. And now they're seeing eye to eye.
"Thank you," he said with a sincere look.
Larissa looked at those big arms holding her tiny wrists, and she smiled and then tenderly touched them. A smile rose on her face, as if it could overpower today's shining sun.
Larissa also took hold of it with her wet hands, "If you have a problem, you can solve it with something else. You don't have to drown yourself in the ocean, because that would only leave a scar on the people closest to you. As much as anyone looks at you, it's just their opinion of you. They don't know what you really are, they don't know what you want, and why. I'm sure you're a strong man, and I'm sure you'll live a much better life next time."
The words spoken by Larissa just went over and over in Alan's mind. Makes a handsome man with that cold face feel he has a reason to survive. He wanted to give back to the woman who helped him, that would be the strongest reason of all time.
Lake was waiting for someone to sit on a rock where Larissa used to sit. This time, however, the woman was not there. Lake was alone, with a leather-bound book, and a pen in his hand. He hasn't written anything down in a long time, and today he will go back to his routine.Lake opened the cover of the book, looking through the sheets that were still blank. He dipped the pen in the ink next to him and wrote his name on the front page of the book, Lake Atkinston.A sweet smile was on his face when he thought of the woman who had managed to sleep through the night. Then his hands began to move down one word at a time, which was so beautiful.Lake wrote, "That day, exactly on April 06, 1930. It was like being in a dream, when it greeted me it was like there was something different about
Larissa swam in the ocean, and she waved to some of her friends who were also playing around the reef. This time, she was going fast because she had to chase something. The tail moves at great speed, with its hands rhythmic to the fluttering of its tail.Her head bulged to the surface, staring at the deserted beach at night. Soon it swims back to the shore, and it ledges toward the cavern it frequades. Her hands moved to pick up a cloth that he had made into a dress, and covered the upper part of her chest to the top of her tail.She rubbed her tail against the sand of the beach to make it dry out, and as it did Larissa was transformed into a human. And she immediately got up, running as fast as she could to visit an inn near the beach. Even though he knew, the beach was hideous at night, but she didn't give up.&
Since last night, the smiles haven't faded from the faces of these two love-intoxicated people. Neither Lake or Larissa was happy since last night. Fortunately, Aleda agrees with a new partnership, which starts without a lot of time. A long night went on between Lake and Larissa, they were convinced that fate was on the side of this relationship. Early this morning, after Larissa woke up from her pretty short nap, because she slept only three hours a night. She went toward the kitchen, took a look at whatever foodstuffs were there, and intended to cook for the man she loved. "Are you awake?" Larissa looked over at Aleda, who was still in her bundled clothes typical of waking up. She nodded with a good smile.
In 1930, London became an international trading center. The crowds enveloped the city this spring, with flowers and fallen leaves on the roadside made everything look so beautiful. At this very moment, it was the first day Larissa visited London that was far more crowded than Newquay. She tightened her grip on Lake's hand, and they stood in front of the station facing the crowd in the daytime. "This is London," whispered Lake right in Larissa's ear. "This city's gonna be my new home?" asked Larissa with her face shining. Lake shakes his head, "Homes for us." Her smile flared up on Larissa's beautiful face, she hugged Lake f
"Today I'm going to visit Lake's new house!" Aleda exclaimed. "Can you come? Lake hasn't introduced the lady," ask Beatrix. "Of course, you should come. Mom will be so surprised when he sees such a beautiful woman in Lake's house. Oh, god, even her countenance exceeds that of the Greek goddess," praise Aleda. "I became impatient. What about Alan? You'll come, won't you?" bargain Beatrix. Alan was quiet, his face flat as usual. His stiff body leaned against the wooden chair, and looked at his mother, "Shall I come?" "Ih. You should come, Alan. The house was huge, and there was even a homemade Lake in the backyard. Mom
Larissa is making drinks for Beatrix, Alan, Aleda and Lake in the kitchen. The woman is preoccupied with her activities, which enable her to brew a fresh flavor for Lake family. She didn't want to disappoint them all, especially Lake. A smile spread over her face, and then she carried four glasses with trays in her hand. But as she turned, she was startled by Alan's vicious stare. The man stood not far from himself, but there was something about her. The sharp eyes seemed to say that Alan knew her, and was full of questions. "Is that you?" asked Alan. Larissa sat still, her brow furrowed. She tried not to be nervous, because if she was nervous then everything would be known, "Me?" Ala
Alan turned around, his brow furrowed as he saw Lake's presence behind him. Still, his face remained flat as if nothing had happened. "Lake—" Lake approached Larissa and took over her hand, hissed at Alan, "Explain what you mean." "She's the woman who saved me," Alan retorted. "And you want more from her?" lining Lake with burning eyes, "Is that you don't know yourself!? You should thank my lady for saving your life! But you want more from her? fuck." "Lake, please calm down," pleaded Larissa. Alan smiled sideways, "Don't I have to say that?"
Aleda entered the house with Beatrix. The woman tried to calm her emotionally troubled mother with Alan, who knew for a fact that Beatrix on Lake never failed her. However, they would stop there as they tried to enter Beatrix's room. There stood the figure of Alferd Atkinston staring at each one of them. "Where have you been?" "I want to rest," said Beatrix as she goes. But her wrist was held by Alferd, "I'm asking you." "And I'm not in the mood to argue," retorted Beatrix as she threw Alferd's arm down. Now, that guy looks angry. He's upset by his wife now
Larissa didn't stop smiling a long time ago, even though her eyes had been forced to shut in cloth by lake, her heart was still beating really hard. His hands clasped his arm affectionately, "is it far?" "No, we're here." They stop moving at the same time. Larissa can hear a lot of noise around her. with lake in public right now. "May I open it? "Demanded larissa. Lake didn't answer, so he took off the cloth over his wife's eyes. Her handsome face turned on a big smile, for she was sure larissa would love the surprise she gave. While larissa batted her eyes a few times, turning to lake, "are we going to eat in this place?" "No," said lake
It's been five days since Alan atkinston was sentenced to life in prison, and the atmosphere has improved. Lake was opening her up again to larissa, she was trying to let go and forget all those bad memories. "Honey," whispered lake, hugging his wife from behind. Larissa was cooking, and she was so distracted by her husband's antics when he was cooking, "hm?" "Let's eat out," lake brought. Larissa's hand movement stopped, she turned to lake with a look of frustration, "I'm almost done cooking, I'm eating at home!" "Come on, I want to show you something," lake begged. Larissa's brow furrowed, she hung her hands on lake's shoulders: "are you
Larissa placed a special coat on her husband for the funeral, and she seemed very devoted to serving him. She was trying to keep lake calm and unemotional, because today is the funeral day for beatrix. One of his hands gently strode the lake's jaw, "I believe you can control yourself." Lake's silent. From the look of her, he still expressed sadness and depression. Since yesterday, he hasn't said a word to his wife. "After returning from the funeral, will you go straight to the court? "Asked larissa. Still the same, no answer at all from lake. It hurt, when lake inhabited larissa even more at a time like this. However, the beautiful 26-year-old woman kept trying to understand her husband's condition, convinced that lake only needed time to adapt to all this.
Alan stayed where he was, then he looked back. Lake was already there, and some of his suspects were pointing a gun at him. Instantly he dropped the gun in his grasp, his body went limp. While alferd ran and hid behind the lake, "son, help me. He wanted to kill me, he killed my wife. "No. I didn't do anything, he did..." "Enough! All the evidence was against you, and now give it up. I'm sending you to prison for what you've done, "hiss lake. "You have to listen to me, lake! I didn't do anything, "Alan. "Son, I beg you. Imprison him, otherwise he will kill you and aleda! I'm afraid that will happen, "force alferd with tears. Alan's hands ar
When alferd went out from under him, Alan's body suddenly began to tremble. He remembered what happened when he was ten. When alferd stabbed a woman so savagely, it was also the scene where the devil killed a pair of sea creatures that he had obtained from the famous coast of London. Alferd, he tortured those two creatures mercilessly for their tears. He made a fortune, after getting his hands on those two creatures. When Alan reflected on the incident, he did see the mermaid's tail. One tail is huge in bright blue, while the other is a darker gray in smaller sizes. Her hands were firmly attached, and she remembered the color of larissa's tail and the fins that alferd had brought along, mumbling, "her parents?" Realizing that, she ran hard to make her way to larissa. But all he got was pain. His
Aleda entered the house with Beatrix. The woman tried to calm her emotionally troubled mother with Alan, who knew for a fact that Beatrix on Lake never failed her. However, they would stop there as they tried to enter Beatrix's room. There stood the figure of Alferd Atkinston staring at each one of them. "Where have you been?"
