The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 53 - The Black Veil

Erina was walking near the ocean and saw a lady wearing a black dress and a veil. She tiptoed twice and danced sincerely with her emotions and feelings. 

"Hello." Erina approached her. 

"Yes?" The lady covered her face with her veil. She didn't want her to know her. 

"Do you have any acquaintance?" 

The lady shook her head and made a shakehands. 

Erina was comfortable with her. She wanted to talk to her deeply but she didn't know why. 

The lady took a small bottle of water and they drank it together while laughing. "Let's be friends." Erina seriously asked her hug. 

"Yes, of course." The lady gave the best version of herself and stared at her secrelty. She wanted to know more about her that was why she was smiling. Although, the water was cold to their feet, they began to be serious on the topics they wanted to share with each other. 

The grandfather saw Erina who was talking to a lady in a black dress. He knew her well and she was Anabelle. He was watching them for a long time making things to happen. He was a bit afraid of being with her again. The scars of his heart was still piercing him. 

"Erina. You're here." The grandfather approached the two. "Let's go home and eat for dinner." 

The lady covered her face well so that he might not see her. "Thank you. I'm leaving." She was about to go but she was stopped by Erina. 

"Let's have a dinner." 

"No, I'm going home before nine. Thank you. May be, next time. Bye." She ran away before Erina might call for her. She was whispering to herself, "Why does he have to be there?" She shook her head and sighed deeply. "This is really hard."
