Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Chapter 007: Meeting Mother

"I've been waiting a long time to see you, Alice." A soft voice flashed through Alice's ears.

The little princess tried to open her eyes. But the dark still refused to let go. He also tried to move his body. Body shivers.

A soft touch stroked his forehead. The touch made him feel comfortable. His heart also calmed down. It was like getting blessings and protection.

When the touch disappeared, Alice moved her body again. His hands were trembling too. He tried to regain the soothing touch.

Shortly after, the touch came again and clasped his hand. The touch felt soft and warm. Alice again felt calm.

The little princess' ears heard a voice again. It was a smooth chanting sound that flowed in soothing his heart. The chant was so sweet. The pitch feels so familiar.

Alice remembers it too. It had not been long since he heard it. The little princess misses that.

A light appeared. Darkness, light rises. Alice ran to the light source. He covered his eyes with both hands. The radiating light was so bright that it dazzled him.

When the light had completely encompassed around, Alice slowly lowered her hand. How surprised he was. A beautiful garden spread as far as the eye could see. He also ran cheerfully through the park that is unspeakable breadth.

Alice was beside a large, shady tree. Its roots firmly grip the earth, its branches high clawing at the sky. Fruits are lush and easy to pick. The beautiful and fragrant flowers spoil the eyes and calm the soul.

The tree is a hill that is not too high. On the hill there was a silver swing that was swinging slowly. A beautiful woman was sitting quietly on it. Alice curiously approached him.

"Alice," call the woman gracious, "Finally you'll arrive."

Alice was stunned to see the woman. It's good to see her mother, Evianna el Vierum. He immediately ran to hug his mother and took off his longing.

It's been a long time since they met each other. Maybe it's been five years they haven't seen each other. When Evianna left the world, Alice was only seven years old.

"Geez, you must have missed your mother a lot" said Evianna, stroking her daughter's head with anxiety, "How are you, dear?"

"Well, Mother," Alice replied cheerfully, "Alice is very happy to meet Mother."

"Mother was also happy to meet Alice," Evianna replied to Alice with a beautiful smile on her face, "Sir Derrick how is she?"

"Sister is always cool" said Alice proudly, "Sister has been able to take good care of the territory. People respect him. He replaced me perfectly. Anyway, there's no one cooler than brother."

Evianna laughed lightly at Alice's excited story. He was very proud of his sons. Her son had become a capable and respected leader, while her daughter had become a smart and great girl.

"But, dad …." Alice's voice was stifled for a moment when she recalled her father, Duke Cassander vi Alverio. He told me while pouting, "Father is often sickly. His health continued to decline, but he continued to work. He said he'd catch up with mom."

"That's too fast. Your father has to hang on at least until you get married" says Evianna, trying to cheer up her little daughter, "Remind her not to overwork. Alice can definitely do it, ‘kan?"

"Sure!" alice replied, smiling cheerfully. He sat on his mother's lap. They both enjoyed the beautiful garden together. How cool and quiet the place is. So calm, there are no words that are suitable to express it further.

Evianna kissed her daughter's hair. The fragrant fragrance of her smell. She wants to be back with her sweet daughter. But the time is up. His life is no longer in the world. Now, he could only return waiting for his family patiently.

"Mother," called Alice, "Will Mother not come home?"

“Mother?” Alice looks. Evianna was crying. He turned to face his mother. Both of his tiny hands wiped the tears of the mother's tears.

"If you can, I'd love to go home with you, baby,” said Evianna longing, “However, bundalah should wait for you to come back here. We'll regroup. That won't be long. Really, it won't be long. Alice, you always love you."

“Alice also dear Mother,” reply Alice sincerely. He painted a sweet smile. He also stood up, then put his forehead on the forehead of the mother.

"Alice" said Evianna, "If you go home to your brother and father, remind them not to associate with Allah the Exalted. There is no God but Allah and to Him we return. Blessed is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth."

Evianna paused for a moment, then continued, "It is he who brings us together and separates us. He did not create death and life but to test which of us is best.

So do not be lulled and beguiled by the mortal world. What a pleasure the world is only a drop of water between the vastness of the ocean. The Hereafter is an eternal place. Live in heaven, lest you fall into hell.

There is no hint of pride in your heart. Verily, your creation is no greater than the creation of seven heavens in layers.

Look at that ceiling! Is there a defect there? Look again and again. Surely, your gaze will return without finding a crack there, while he will feel tired.

He decorated the sky of the world with beautiful stars like pearls. It also makes it a road guide for ocean travelers.

Indeed, the place for those who shut their hearts to the truth is a blazing fire. And, that's as bad as the place back.”

Evianna continued to tell stories while giving messages to Alice. The little girl calmly looked at him. After the mother finished speaking, it was Alice's turn to shed her tears.

Alice used to hear her mother's stories and advice every night. The story was delivered by Evianna in various ways. Through poems, songs, and melodious verses.

From there, Alice's insight grew. He understands how people will regret in the future. He also became interested in seeing the outside world and its infinite breadth.

The chants he heard every night were filled with knowledge.

"Honey," call Evianna while standing from the swing. He held Alice who was still crying in his arms. Gently, the woman offered, "Before you leave, will you accompany your mother to look around this place?"

Alice did not answer. He held his hand to embrace Evianna. Her fingers firmly gripped the mother's dress. He did not want to go from his mother's side at all. His head was leaned into the chest of the angel. They walked through the brilliant garden.

The rivers flow quietly there. Very different colors. Some are as white as milk, a honey, and a ginger. It feels really good to spoil the eyes and tongue. What a joy he could not have.

The birds were flying, dancing, and chirping merrily. The melodious nian voice. They approached Alice and Evianna with beautiful and cute faces. Alice's hand reached out to them, trying to catch him.

"Our time is up" said Evianna putting Alice out of her sling. A smile was etched sweetly on the faces of the two. Evianna kissed Alice for the last time. That is how he conveys his affection.

The cool breeze blows gently. Alice's reddish-blue hair was waving. The little princess felt her body become light. As if lifted up into the sky, his gaze saw Evianna from a height. His soul will be returned. For the last time, he looked at his mother and exchanged a smile.

The dark came back. A silent Eve enveloped Alice. The place where the little princess lay.

Little by little, his senses began to return to function. His ears can hear. Skin felt. His nerve sensors respond again to the soul's commands so that his fingers can move.

In a semi-conscious state, Alice hears a girl's alien voice, "When will she make out?"
