Chapter 1: Strange things in Kora
Today is Sunday - a Weekend at the end of summer, instead of gradually becoming cold, it still so hot and muggy. When talking about it, all of us must be understand that we are talking about the end of a season based on the concept of time rather than based on the surrounding weather. No matter where you are, just because June is over doesn't mean you have to turn on the heater or cover yourself with blankets. Despite the heat, it seems obvious that the streets of London are still full of people. There are many shaded streets with trees and people certainly don't miss their work just because the sun is burning their skin. But that situation is completely different from that of a certain family. 'Cause just as the mother began to realize that these were probably going to be the hottest days of her two sons' summer vacation, she decided to take the family to Kora Wonderworld - the best amusement park in London, no, more than that, this is the best amusement park in England to relax in just 2 days.
Actually, this certain family is in charge of a big desserts shop named "Yumyum" and it seems very famous. Therefore, this family probably never worry about their economy and has enough money to pay and play in Kora for two days, book a luxury hotel room at the park. To be honest, they had enough money to play all week long, but last week the mother accidentally announced to the regulars that new dishes would be announced on Friday, today was Tuesday, they had to leave 1 day before to prepare for a new batch of cakes.
In the next sec, this family was rushing each other to get ready while the father was on the phone booking a hotel room. The two sons were working and laughing at the same time, making their mother unable to hold back and scold them for a while. Right after that, the taxi came, took all the family to the in the heart of London, where the Kora Wonderword is located:
-Mommy, why are we going there? I think we're going to the water park. - It was the youngest son who was asking his mother with wide eyes
The mother said:
- At Kora, we not only have a large area with 5 pools with a variety of games for you to enjoy in the water, but also many other areas to explore, my dear. It's not funny enough for you ?
The father said :
- No matter what you say Freddie, your mother will not care about it because of - The father started speaking softy - Because of her temper
- I can hear the nonsensical things you said Frank! - The mother spoke louder
Hearing this, the father stopped speaking, after all, in the house he did not have as much influence as the mother. The children's mother was not only the head of the house but also the one who personally established the family's famous shop. The family then sat in uncomfortable silence for nearly two hours, except for the hot-tempered mother calmly humming a song from the movie Titanic (1997). Finally, out of deep compassion for her children, she tossed them the tablet and let them do whatever they wanted until they got there.
At 8:30 in the morning, the children rushed out of the car, happily jumping around with the magnificence of the park, first of all the entrance. It had 4 staff members, 2 men and 2 women, dressed as knights, smiling warmly every time a visitor entered the gate. But in fact, they never stopped smiling, visitors wanted to enter as crowded as ants and noisy as a market, it seemed that the children were more interested in the noise, not paying any attention to their parents sighing.The entrance gate was lavishly decorated with all sorts of large and small motifs - animals and plants representing the surrounding marine ecosystem, on its left and right sides, people placed giant robot animals, holding skateboards, sunglasses and umbrellas, in short, the necessary tools for going to the beach as usual. This design was to represent and welcome the summer, inspiring and exciting the children and overwhelming the elders with the big animals (of course not real animals) that could talk and wave their hands continuously. It seemed that the entrance gate was designed according to the prominent occasions or events of the year. The father said to his wife while he and his wife were holding the children's hands to get the pre-booked tickets:
-Audrey, my dear, do you think it would cost them a lot of money to design and build these structures every few months? This is just counting this crazy entrance gate, it would be equal to the amount of money we make from selling desserts for half a year!
- I used to think I was crazy when I thought you didn't know anything but how to make super delicious desserts. But I'm probably right. - The wife said and smiled slightly.
The father frowned when he heard that, of course he couldn't help but defend:
- Then why did you marry me? Have you ever asked yourself?
- If God gave me a chance to choose again, I would still choose to live my current life with you, Frank. If I didn't sacrifice myself to be your mother's daughter-in-law, you would definitely be single until old age, what a pity for you, oh, and the children too if they weren't born into this world.
The mother finished speaking, this time, she giggled, leaning her head on her husband very happily, it was understandable that despite her hot temper, she still loved and cherished her family very much, it was just that she couldn't change her habit of always reminding because it was her instinct.
Speaking of the children, don't expect them to pay any attention to their parents' cheesy conversation. Freddy and his twin brother Briam were hyperactive from looking around, laughing and talking nonstop. While waiting in line for tickets, the two children kept trying to run away. If Audrey hadn't stopped sweet-talking her husband and stopped the children, they would have gone astray. In public, the mother did not dare to scold her two children like at home. She just glared at her two children, seeing that they were scared enough, she stopped her threatening gaze, and gave her two children's arms to their father to hold so that they would not get lost. Knowing that she was a flexible and agile person, Mrs. Audrey took the initiative to get the tickets for her family. Letting her husband - who was slow in everything - except making dessert - go get the tickets - only made her feel frustrated and annoyed.
After getting the ticket, there was another step that took quite a while: lining up to check the entrance ticket. It was known that the number of tourists coming to Kora every day was very high, so waiting was as annoying for Mrs Audrey as talking to her husband every time he said something stupid. But fortunately, the weather was quite clear today, otherwise Mrs Audrey's skin - who had not applied sunscreen because of her haste - would have been damaged because the hole in the ozone layer had allowed more and more harmful ultraviolet rays to reach the earth, and too much exposure to sunlight would cause skin cancer.
The mother was about to sigh when Freddy playfully shouted:
- I told you not to shoot water guns! Toothless brat!
The boy was talking to a girl of the same age in the next row, who also had parents. The girl immediately replied:
- And you're a brat too!? You're the one who pulled my pigtails and dared me to shoot a toy gun at you. Are you stupid to think I would shoot a regular toy gun? A smart girl is a girl who knows revenge.
After hearing that, Mrs. Audrey almost burst out laughing. She didn't know where the little girl learned the saying: "A smart girl is a girl who knows how to take revenge." Thinking back, she still found it funny. But looking at the next row, she saw the girl's mother, who also looked very embarrassed, whispering instructions while her daughter was sullen and annoyed, still glaring at Freddy. Without wasting a second, Mrs. Audrey smiled very professionally and whispered to the young mother next row:
- I sincerely apologize to you. This son of mine is really unruly. I can assure you that I teach him very strictly at home, but at this age, children are surprisingly stubborn. They don't care or sympathize with me when I have tried my best to educate him to be a good person. Let me apologize again.
-I..- Before this mother could say much, she was still stuttering when Mrs Audrey interrupted and continued:
-Why don't you go out with my family, we will cover any food your family wants to buy in this amusement park. Let me make up for my naughty son's mistake and be friends with your family.
The other mother heard that and smiled brightly:
-That would be great. I'm Jessica, and this is Lana - my daughter, she's very impulsive.
Mrs Audrey smiled:
-She looks very pretty and smart. By the way, I'm Audrey Smith.
-Thank you,Mrs Audrey. I'm very grateful.
After that, there was nothing more to discuss as a natural law, they introduced their families, hobbies, and ages to each other.Mrs Jessica's husband's name was James Greener, they only had one daughter and surprisingly, they were the same age as Mrs Audrey, they were about 36 years old. A minute later, they began to explain the reason for coming to Kora Amusement Park to each other. As for the Smith family's reason, everyone already knew, but the Greener family's reason was only now revealed:
-Our family came here because of my sister's words that her children and she herself were scared out of their wits when they came to Kora Amusement Park for the fifth time. The previous four times were normal, but the fifth time, my sister's son said that he saw a strange human-like figure here, and my sister said that she even heard a whistling sound while sleeping in the hotel room!- Mrs. Jessica told the Smiths
-If it was just a child's story, I wouldn't believe it, but if an adult said that, it was a bit creepy! Could your sister be joking?
Mrs. Jessica smiled lightly, waved her hand:
-Oh my, you need to know that my sister is a very serious person, she never teases anyone and rarely cries. When she told my family with a rare pale face, I was really surprised!
Mr. Smith said in surprise:
-As I guess, your family came here not to play but to hunt for ghosts, right? To the places that your sister Jessica here has been to. What a brave family!
Mr. Greener nodded:
-That's right, my wife and I are usually very interested in scary things, that's why we met each other. And look, even my beloved Lana is very excited.
-I'm ready to face them!
Freddy laughed out loud:
-What can a brat like you face?
Lana replied excitedly:
- With the strange things in Kora !
