My best memory

Relax the mind

Five days later

Winter Pov

It's been five days since I only stay my room. I may be sounding dramatic, but I really feel depressed these days because of that damn news. What affected me the most was not knowing that Mr. Yu could be sick, but knowing that she was here all this time and I didn't know. I know what I said was rude, but even though I also worry about Mr. Yu too, my mind just thinks about her and only her.

She had promised me years ago that she would come back and bring me a doll, but at that moment I didn't even want to know about the damn doll anymore, I just wanted to have seen her, to have looked her in the eye after so many years without her.

- Winter. - I hear my Omma's voice and I pretend I don't hear her. -Cupcake...

- Leave me alone Omma. - I speak, and for mere minutes I didn't hear her voice.

I got up from the bed and leaned my head against the door to make sure she was really gone, but again she knocked on the door.

- Winter, you've been in this room for five days, Irene, Mom and I are worried

- I want peace Omma, forgive me for that. - I speak, and then I hear her sigh.

- My love... - She speaks in a tired tone and I clench my fists.

I was making her tired, should I vent to her?

- I understand you didn't want to talk, but I hope you know that Mom and I will be here to hear your outbursts. - She says and I feel a tear run down my cheek. -I'm here Winter... - She whispers by the door, and I feel my heart tighten.

I shouldn't be so dramatic, I'm hurting the people I love because of it. Without further ado, I open the door, and when she looks me in the eye, I see all the worry stamped on those shiny brownish spheres.

- Winter...

- I'm sorry. - I say with my head down and tightly grip my pajama shorts.

Then I feel two arms hugging my body, and without thinking twice I also wrapped my arms around her. She hugged me tightly, and I could feel all her love in that hug.

- Let's talk. - She whispers and then walks away.

She closes the door and then pulls me over to my bed, and when we sit facing each other, she looks me in the eyes.

- I won't force you to tell me anything, I'll wait here until you feel free to tell me what you feel in your heart. - She says with a soft smile, and I feel my heart warm.

I give a small smile and prepare to speak, and before I say anything, I scratch my throat.

- Do you know Mr. Yu Jeong?

- Yes, he owns the biggest hotel chain in the world and owns the biggest casino in Korea. - She speaks and I nod. -Why the question now?

- You know he's the father of an old friend of mine, right? - I said and she swallowed hard. -You know, don't you?

- Winter, I...

- Don't tell me you already forgot about her

- No, it's just...well...she...

- She's here and she didn't tell me anything, I know Omma, I heard the news - I speak and I lowered my head. -She didn't keep what she promised, she didn't come back to me, how could she do this to me? how?

- Winter...

- She was my friend, my soulmate, and now she's just an old memory still trapped in the trunk called memories in my head
