"Does she know anything about that pendant?" Asked someone from other side of the phone.
"No, she doesn't remember. Are you sure she is Eve?" Asked the bishop.
"Who has recognised her? Adam. Hence there's no doubt about it. Did you tell her the story? How did she react?"
"She was curious. She doesn't remember a lot."
"I see. Keep a track."
"Yes sir. Then-" before the bishop could complete his sentence the other person hung up on him.
Eun Hye and Ae Ra reached the airport. Ae Ra was still angry. Not talking to Eun Hye and going on and on far ahead of her.
Eun Hye called out, "Ae Ra wait please. Let us go together. Atleast let me explain.."
She stopped and waited for Eun Hye to reach there.
"Thank you." She took a deep breath after running so hard to catch up Ae Ra. "Listen Ae Ra, I'll tell you what happened since the very beginning of everything...ok?" She thus began the story since Modo Island. They were still standing in the middle of the airport..as there was sometime left for the flight.
After the whole story, till reaching the cathedral, concluded, Ae Ra exclaimed, "Goodness!!! So what you are saying is, that man you met looked exactly like the man in your dreams.. and he told you that he was Adam and you are Eve..You then coincidentally reached his residence and saw his paintings matching your dreams.. now you have started to believe that story and thus you went to the cathedral?.... Seriously? Are you really a psychologist?"
"Come on Ae Ra. Why don't you think it can be a true story?"
"Because there's no evidence. Eun Hye stop your fantasies, you are not a child, girl!! Let's start moving towards the gate else we'll miss the flight." They started walking again.
"So... Even if you don't believe the story.. what do you think of that man? Should I try dating him? He is so handso--"
"No Eun Hyeeee!!!!" She shouted in the middle of the airport turning everyone's head towards them.
"I'm sorry." Eun Hye gestured to the crowd to ignore it.
Ae Ra continued scolding, "Why are you so hungry for handsome men? Do you not have anything else on your mind? That guy has no decent job or living standards, you live in Seoul and he lives in some deserted beach... What is wrong with you.. you can't handle a normal date and you want a long distance relationship now? Or what .. do you want to move to Jeju for a guy or is he willing to leave his secluded life and enter your social genre? And what.. you have not even met for more than twice and you are willing to date him... Grow up Eun Hye!!" She was almost shaking up Eun Hye's soul.
"Fine. Understood. I won't talk about it anymore. Find me a nice Seoulite, okay?" She assured Ae Ra, cooling her down.
They boarded the flight after some while. Ae Ra thought of something, "And Eun Hye.. do you really think the rumour about him being a criminal is wrong and he doesn't have any wrong intentions towards you?"
"Well, I am not sure. When he agreed to drop me back to the village, I kinda thought that he is a nice guy.. I mean .. not a criminal at the very least."
"Can't these just be the ways to trap you in his vicious plans? And that bishop is also an ally? The news about him raping no. of women calling them Eve is not exactly false, you know.. I remember since it was a unique story that some reputed media houses reported it when the police lost track of him and you also told me that he shivered when the police came... Don't you think the dots connect?"
"You seem correct. Fine, I will never associate with him anymore.. I'll just forget about all of this.." Eun Hye was convinced and the flight took off, leaving behind Jeju and any of his memories too...
