Chapitre 52: Just A Coincidence
Alice was out with Felix. And this is certainly a happy thing for Felix.
He was one step ahead of Carlos.
Meanwhile, Carlos could only swallow disappointment and defeat from Felix.
"Bella, I'm going home!" Carlos said.
"Yes!" said Bella. Then the woman came out of the kitchen and started closing the door.
She saw Carlos who was already driving his car.
"Ah ... he's gone," Bella muttered, "it's true ... if karma is real," she said with a deep breath.
"But, if you look at Carlos, it's a pity, right?" Bella looked concerned about the man.
"Mommy!" suddenly she was shocked by Diana, the girl hug her from behind.
"Oh my God, Diana! Why did you make startle?" said Bella.
"Sorry, Mom. I just wanted to point this out!" Diana said as she showed the results of her painting.
"Wow, how beautiful!" complimented Bella.
Then the woman grabbed the paper from Diana's hand.
"Whose painting is this?" defend fingering the paper.
Even though it's only a painting of a 5-year-old child, it's very clear that Diana is indeed talented in this field.
The little girl's painting looks beautiful, although it's not as perfect as a professional painter's.
"It's not in vain that you spend a lot of time with Uncle Carlos, you also catch his painting talent!" said Bella.
Diana smiled proudly.
"Yes, Uncle often teaches me to paint. And you know what, Mom! If the girl I'm painting is my new friend?" said Diana.
Instantly Bella frowned at Diana's statement.
"Who is she?" she asked.
"Her name is Clara. I just met her, she's from London!" answered Diana.
Bella's eyes narrowed for a moment. Clara's name was familiar, Alice used to say that name often. Alice also tells that Clara is the biological daughter of the deceased Sea.
Clara is also often present in Alice's dreams.
Bella could hardly believe all of this.
In her mind, she wondered, about the whereabouts of Clara's ghost.
'Does Clara exist? And isn't the dead person going to the next realm? Then why is he still in the human world?' Bella thought.
"Mom, why are you daydreaming?" Diana asked innocently.
Bella quickly blinked her eyes.
"Ahm, no!" Bella said, hiding all her worries.
Bella tried to convince herself too, that what Diana did was just a coincidence. And Clara's ghost doesn't exist. Alice is only hallucinating and can't tell the difference between the real world and the dream world.
While Diana is just a little girl who has a lot of imagination. Besides that, she also has a lot of friends at her school, so it's only natural that she draws a little girl.
And in this world, there are so many girls named Clara.
"Alright, tidy up all your painting tools, and let's eat!" tell Bella to Diana.
"All right, Mom!" replied the girl.
She put her painting on the study table, then she gathered with her brother and mother at the dining table.
*****
Moments later, Alice came, Bella was busy washing the dishes, Daniel was watching television and Diana was busy drawing.
The girl looked cheerful, occasionally she smiled while looking at the corner of the wall.
It was as if there was someone there, even though no one was there.
"Diana, who are you chatting with?" murmured Alice. She was about to approach the girl, but Bella called her instead.
"Alice! Let's eat!" said Bella. "I still left some soup and chicken for you!" she said.
"Ah, thanks, Bella! But I just had dinner with Felix!" Alice answered.
"Is that so, huh? All right!" said Bella.
Alice again approached Diana, the girl seemed to tidy up her painting tools again. She put pencils and crayons in a special place.
"The drawing is finished. If I practice diligently, I'm sure I will become a great painter like Uncle Carlos," Diana muttered.
"Hi, Diana! Have you eaten?" Alice asked.
"Yes, Auntie!" she answered cheerfully.
Alice's eyes accidentally saw a piece of paper lying on the table.
Alice grabbed the paper, then she looked carefully, there was a little girl with long hair standing.
Her face was covered in straight, flowing hair beautifully, in a white dress and she lowered her head.
"Se's like...." Alice's eye began to sharpen.
"She is, Clara!" said Diana.
Alice immediately threw the paper away. And she walked back.
"Aunt Alice, why?" Diana asked.
Alice didn't answer the girl's question. Alice was frightened and seemed unable to speak.
"Why, Aunt Alice, throw away my painting? Is my painting ugly?" Diana asked with a disappointed look on her face.
Alice ran into the room, and she closed the door tightly.
"Aunt Alice! Wait!" shouted Diana.
Seeing the noise, Bella approached her daughter.
"What is it, honey?" Bella asked Diana.
"Aunt Alice, Mom. She threw away my painting!" said Diana.
Bella immediately grabbed the painting and kept it in a safe place.
'Good grief! I forgot to keep the painting from Alice!' Bella spoke to herself.
"Mom, why did you put it there?" Diana asked.
"Mom-"
"Mom! I want to hang that painting on the wall! Because it's my best painting!" Diana protested.
"Honey, don't do that, please! Aunt Alice doesn't like the painting, so you'd better keep it!" Bella advised her daughter. "If necessary, don't draw like that again, okay! You can draw other objects," said Bella.
"Why? And what is the reason, Mom?" The girl looked curious.
Bella didn't know how to explain it.
Finally, she changed the subject, when Daniel started to come.
"Hey, Daniel!" said Bella.
"Yes, what is it, Mom?" said the boy.
Then Bella gave the money to her eldest son.
"Please take your sister to buy ice cream, okay!" said Bella.
Daniel looked confused, but the child did not disobey his mother's orders.
"All right, Mom," Daniel replied. He took his sister's hand and walked away, Diana also looked resigned. she didn't talk about her painting anymore, because the little girl was still focused on the ice cream. That is her favorite food.
***
After the two children left, Bella rushed over to Alice.
"Alice!" Bella called while knocking on Alice's door.
"Come out, let's talk for a minute, Alice!" said Bella.
Celek!
The door to the room was open. Alice stood in front of the door with a frightened face, then she hugged Bella's body.
"Bella, she exists! She's bothering Diana too!" said Alice in a trembling voice.
"No, Alice! It was just a coincidence! Clara was just Diana's school friend! " Bella said, she spoke carelessly to calm her sister down. That's just Bella's guess. And she couldn't remember if her daughter had a classmate named 'Clara' or not.
"No! She's not Diana's schoolmate! But she's Clara, Sea's daughter!" Alice insisted.
