Birth of the Twins

"Alea, Alena don't play!.." shouted a woman named Alessa to two seven-year-old twin sisters.

"Yes Maa." said the two little girls. They were playing sand on the beach.

Alea made a palace out of the sand of the beach. While Alena, he walked along the beach while picking up shells scattered on the beach. He continued to pick up the shells, until he realized he was already in the water. Far from his brother. When he was about to walk out of the water suddenly the sound of a siren of danger sign sounded.

Alena was surprised to hear that loud and creepy voice and dropped all the shells she collected from her hands. Meanwhile, visitors immediately ran away from the beach, because a large wave was ready to hit the mainland.

"Father! Lena, B...!" Shouted Alessa to her husband, who saw Alena standing in the water, away from Alea. Alessa and her husband ran towards their children in dismay, as the big wave was approaching. Alessa grabbed Alea. Meanwhile, her husband still ran over to Alena. Alessa, hoping her husband could save her son, immediately ran away with the other visitors.

Running while holding Alea, Alessa repeatedly looked back. I hope her husband and son follow her. However, what he expected was inversely proportional. The big wave first hit the land and swept clean the visitors who did not have time to save themselves. At least a dozen people became victims of the incident, including the Husband and his Son.

"Akhnh..." Alessa screamed hysterically at the sight of her son and husband missing in a second, with Alea's cry in her arms. The little girl also witnessed how her brother and father suddenly disappeared after something big happened to them. As well as other visitors who managed to save themselves. They were hysterical and crying bitterly at the sight of the incident.

9 Years later...

In a room, a teenage girl in full school uniform stands in front of a mirror while staring at her look. The sixteen year old girl was named Alea. Alea smiled looking at her reflection in the mirror. The smile receded as he stared at a picture frame on his study table.

A photo showing two girls aged about seven on a beach.

No tears fell from Alea's pretty face. When he saw the photo he always remembered with his twin sister and also his father. His father who died due to a big wave while on a beach. While his brother is missing and his body has not been found until now. However, it is likely that his sister did not survive the incident. And the photo on the study table was taken shortly before the tragedy struck, while they were vacationing on one of the beaches outside the city not far from the city where they lived.

[If it had never happened, maybe today we are still together. Do something together. Just like before you disappeared.] Inner Alea while wiping the tears that kept flowing on her cheeks.

Alea was always emotional when she remembered her sister, there was a feeling of guilt in her heart for not being able to help her sister while under the waves before her eyes. He always blamed himself for the incident, he could not take care of his twin brother well while playing on the beach.

"Lea! The breakfast is ready, dear." call Alessa, Alea's mother from outside the room.

"Yes Maa, Lea's out in a minute..."

"Wait at the dinner table..."

"Yes.. Maa.." Alea picked up the tissue and cleaned the remaining tears on her cheeks, she fixed her makeup so as not to be discovered by her mother that she had finished crying. Once enough, Alea picked up her school bag and left her room to where her mother was.

"For Maa...!" Sapa Alea kissed her mother's cheek.

"Morning, Honey..." Alessa is replying to her eldest daughter's treatment. "There you have breakfast..." Alea according. He pulled up a chair next to his mother and started his breakfast.

"Today you're in the same driver yes, dear. because Mama there is an important meal this morning..! Not what? " alessa said in the middle of breakfast.

After his father died. His mother is now in charge of his father's company. His mother had worked hard to keep the company up even as big as it is now, so he also had to understand the busyness of his mother. During this time he also never lacked the affection of his mother, because his mother could really divide the time for him.

"Thank you dear, for your understanding..." Alessa is truly grateful to have such a understanding and demanding daughter like Alea.

Merely, Alea always asked herself to look for her sister, Alea believed her sister was still alive and was somewhere right now. Alessa initially also felt that her daughter was still alive, but that hope was dashed when she had repeatedly told people to look for her child, but the results were nil. He also tried to accept the fact that his daughter was dead.

Given that her husband who at that time was trying to help his daughter became one of the victims of a dozen other victims died, his body was found after two days from the day of the incident. What about the fate of his daughter? Can such a small girl survive?

-

Alea got down from the car that carried her, she stared at the towering school gate in front of her. Usually he was very excited to explore the entire building in his school, but not today, he felt ordinary.

Just as he was about to step his foot in, two twin girls flashed before his eyes while holding hands. The twins talk and laugh occasionally. Alea's eyes continued to follow the twin brothers into the school. Tired of sadness and envy in his heart saw the togetherness of the twin brothers earlier.

[If my sister were here, I could be like them... Is there a chance for me to be like them?] Alea was really hoping for a miracle to save her sister from the tragedy, and soon brought them together.

Alea stepped away from the school gate trying to hold back her tears. Somehow his mood today is really ugly, he always remembered with his sister. He seems to miss his sister. And to treat that longing, Alea always went somewhere. Where was the last time he saw his brother and his father.

Alea is now on a beach where his twin brother and father were caught in the tragedy. It took about 4 hours to get here from Alea's residence, using public transportation. Whenever Alea missed her Father and Sister, Alea always went to this beach. For a long time staring at the expanse of the open sea that took away a very meaningful person in his life.

[Until this moment I still wish you were alive and quickly returned, enough Dad to go for his next.].

Alea wiped her tears and immediately wanted to leave from there. Because it lingered for a long time staring at the expanse of the sea, making him recall clearly the seconds of the tragedy that occurred.

However, as he turned around, his eyes accidentally caught the figure of the girl in high school uniform walking towards the sea water. He looked at the walking figure

from behind and seemed to recognize the figure. Because the figure was very similar to him, but looked random. The uniform he used was dirty, his hair was wet.

[Arena? Is that Alena?]

Curious about the girl, Alea walked up to her half-runningly as she watched the girl continue to walk in defense of the seawater, even half of her body was currently already in the water.

[Will the girl commit suicide?]

Alea sped up his pace and defended the seawater. He finally got to the poor girl. Alea clasped the girl's hand firmly.

"What are you doing stupid! Do you want to die?..." Alea's voice choked as he clearly saw the look of the girl in front of him. The girl really looks like her. Is this really Alena, my sister?

"You?" The girl's voice broke the silence created, due to the shock from both of them. Alea looked at the girl still with a question in her head. However, the girl suddenly went down in a grove that made Alea surprised and reflexively hugged the girl's body so as not to fall into the water. In his heart was still hoping, this girl who was in his arms was really his sister.
