Chapter-3
A/N: I'm not getting many reviews, I know that. But still I wont give up with this story. Sorry if it was short. I ll update soon.
Cho decided to go to a nearby island which was famous for its green sea and coral reef. She'd read up on the islands before coming here and she was dying to see what they had to offer firsthand.
She and Rachel had booked three tickets in ship that would be taking them to the island. Cho was waiting for Rachel and Michelle in the hotel lobby. The ship was scheduled to take off from the port in 15 minutes and still there was no sign of them.
"Sorry, I'm late. The alarm didn't work so I got up late," Rachel said.
"It's ok. I was about to come to your room. All set for the trip," Cho said smiling at her new friend.
They walked quickly to the port and saw many other tourists waiting there, boarding different ships for local islands. They climbed in the ship docked at no.7, as said in their tickets. Cho was very much excited.
The ship started off at the right time with around 30 passengers on board. Michelle dozed off in her mothers lap. Rachel was talking about her previous job, and Cho had to just nod everything. Rachel wasn't supposed to know that she is a witch. She pretended to be interested and changed the topic quickly.
After an hour, they came to their destination. Cho gasped seeing the beautiful stretch of green water in the backdrop of sand and trees. She clicked a few pictures from the muggle camera she had purchased.
Cho, Rachel and Michelle got up to get down from the ship. Rachel looked a bit sick.
"Are you alright? You are completely green," Cho asked her concerned.
"It's ok. I don't like these ship rides much. Let me just get things out." She walked over to the wash room.
Cho saw that they were the last people and decided to wait for her down. She was absent-mindedly staring at the sea and didn't see the steps before her. Before she knew, she fell face down on the hard wooden floor.
"Hey, are you alright," a man's voice said.
Cho looked up, dizzy, straight into the eyes of the man holding her. She was petrified and shocked about what she was seeing. The same green eyes, she had been dreaming for ages were staring back at her in confusion.
"CHO," she faintly registered as a lady's voice called out her name.
"Can't you be careful, are you alright? Did you get hurt," Rachel said. "Thanks a lot. I'll take care of her." She added to the man.
"No problem," he replied and made to get up but Cho was not moving. She was still dumbstruck. She opened her mouth many times but no words came out.
"Harry...,"Cho said and passed out.
Rachel and the green-eyed man were sitting next to unconscious Cho. Both of them were waiting for her to wake up.
After half an hour or so, Cho opened her one eye and stared at Rachel. Then she turned to the man, who was smiling at her.
"Who are you," she said at last, thought she knew the answer she was unable to believe her eyes.
"Hi. I'm Mathew. I'm the coordinator of this trip and many other trips to local islands."
"Mathew….Mathew," she repeated.
Mathew looked surprised at her. He was seeing her for the first time but still it seemed like she was with him all his life.
"Cho, you are just tired. C'mon lets get down. Some fresh air would be better," Rachel said, pulling Cho to her feet.
Cho was still staring at Mathew. She remembered the eyes, the emerald eyes. There was no, mistaking of the raven black hair.
"Aren't you Harry," she asked him hopefully.
"No, I'm Mathew, Mathew Evans. Do I remind you of someone," he asked Cho.
"Maybe…" Cho mumbled and averted her eyes from him. She knew it was her Harry. But why didn't he talk to her. Why did he pretend as Mathew? Tears formed in her eyes and she wanted to get away from him.
She got down from the ship and walked as fast as possible, away from the ship. Rachel ran behind her friend, utterly confused.
"What is wrong Cho? Do you know that guy, Mathew," Rachel asked.
Cho sat down in the nearby tree trunk, and started crying.
"Oh God, Cho, don't cry its alright. Just tell me what happened," Rachel asked her sitting next to Cho.
"He looks exactly like someone….I ….I know.
