Chapter 718: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 1
Kar and Asa had never been alone. They were together in the womb, and they were together when they were out. The moment they could recognize their surrounding, they had rarely been alone.
Their Dada and Baba were always there. Dada was with them most often, even though Ayya and the other nannies were there. And no matter how busy Baba was, he always rushed to see Kar and Asa and played with them.
But those were only people who lived in their house.
A lot of people visited the house on the hill before the twins could even recognize people.
The ones who visited the house the most were the people who lived at the foot of the hill. Dada said they were family. They were Kar and Asa’s uncles and aunts and cousins. And grandpas and grandmas who loved visiting while bringing lots of snacks and toys for them--until Dada said bringing toys was forbidden.
There was a grandpa who seemed to always cry when seeing them, and an even older grandpa that Kar and Asa could only see five times in three years before they couldn’t see him again. Dada said the old great-grandpa went to heaven with Dada’s and Baba’s parents.
Kar and Asa wondered why they went to heaven when people placed them underground, but they only questioned it between themselves before they went to sleep.
The uncles, aunties, and cousins who called their Dada ’Master’ often babysat them when Baba had to work for a few days and Dada had no choice but to accompany Baba. They didn’t make a fuss though, because they were good boys. They knew Baba could not live without Dada.
Around the time their little princess Nari came to the world, Kar and Asa learned that their Dada was a guide and their Baba was an esper. These espers and guides people also visited them often.
Kar and Asa could tell which one was a guide and which one was an esper right away by their smell. The espers smelled more like Baba, and the guides smelled more like Dada. Some people said they were gifted, and some people said it was given because they were their Dada and Baba’s children.
How weird. Of course, they were their Dada and Baba’s children. Dada and Baba said so. Even if they didn’t know the difference between guides and espers, even if they would not awaken in the future, they were still Dada and Baba’s children.
