Stupid Wife [Chaelisa]

13. Connection

Roseanne Park’s POV

November 25, 2029 – Friday

“Harry, don’t run around the kitchen.”

“Sorry, Mom.”

The little one smiled broadly and snuck out, followed by an equally smiling Louis. Both are having fun, although I also worry about my son so he doesn’t end up getting hurt by this rush, I love seeing him having fun. It is important for my son to have contact with other children in our family and even with others outside. I am making a point of recovering the affinity we had before things happened and everyone left, I want to rescue our family ties. My mission is to get closer again, so that happiness will gradually reign. Not that we are unhappy, but joy is always a welcome thing.

“I’m giving Lisa another chance.”

I say as soon as we are alone again. I need to tell someone about my current situation with Lisa, and at the moment there is no one better than a sister to listen to me. I think it’s important to let her know about my decision taken jointly by the other party two nights ago.

“What?!”

Chaeyoung stops what she is doing and looks at me in shock, looking really surprised by my revelation. I can’t blame her because even I still getting used to the idea of getting along with Lisa. Although it no longer sounds like something bizarre or uncomfortable to live with her, it is still an important step that I was not completely sure of taking. But, to be honest, the hypothesis that the two of us are right again, gives me a feeling of peace.

I can’t help it; she has a connection with me that even though I am out of memory, I feel her here. There is some invisible thread that pulls me towards her and as much as I try to get away, I always miss her a little. It is inexplicable, and confusing. In a complete way it is like swimming against the current; however much you try to get away, you will always end up going back to the same place.

“That’s what you just heard. I came to the conclusion that it is not worth erasing that part of my life entirely. We both spent so much time together and things have changed so much… I just thought that… trying again is an option.”

“You have no idea how big my happiness is when I hear that. Really.” Chaeyoung approaches me. The sisterly smile on her face makes me even more relaxed with my decision. Her happiness for me is noticeable in the gleam in her eyes. Her acceptance in my step is very important. We have always been very connected and we have never, under any circumstances, even considered letting one or the other get into trouble. “I’ve always been around you two. I spent all the phases of that relationship with you. My support has always been and continues to be as genuine as possible because I know how much good you do each other.”

“I… feel it, you know? Her presence brings me peace. I do not know how to explain. Maybe it’s the feeling that I forgot to keep that flame burning, but it’s a good thing. Makes me feel good.”

“I see that. I can finally see you take it again after so long.”

She tightens her arms around me and I close my eyes, sighing with happiness at the affection present in that hug.

“I’ve been thinking so much that… do you think it’s possible that all this happened so that we could get right again? I think this thing is so surreal that it awakens in me.” I look up to face her, my sister watches me carefully, waiting for me to continue. “I can’t explain it properly, but it even seems that the universe needs to unite us in one way or another.”

Chaeyoung lets out an unexpected laugh that causes me confusion and curiosity. She throws her head back laughing at the top of her lungs.

“Before you think, I’m not laughing at what you said. This is happiness, a lot of joy even for seeing you like this.” I smile slightly. “I remembered a few years ago, at the very beginning of your relationship when the two of you decided to take a break.”
