Your Name

Chapter twelve

POV/ Soo-Yun

It's bright. So bright that I have to squint my eyes so much it blinds me. I look at my hands between my fingers I feel very soft grass. It's unnaturally green, it doesn't look like a normal meadow but like something out of a children's book.

My knees are covered with a robe that feels like silk. I've never seen such a beautiful color on myself I think it's light purple but the brightness around me still blinds me.

I hold my hand to my forehead to cover my eyes. My skin has never been so soft.

I no longer feel pain, either physically or mentally. The only thing I feel is my robe around my body, my soft skin and most of all.

Relief.

While I hold my hand protectively in front of my eyes I see a person walking towards me.

My vision is very blurry but the Person slowly keeps walking towards me. I can't tell who this person is so I try to squint my eyes even more. I recognize a little boy he has a beautiful face.

Now I am the one making my way to him. I rise easily from my kneeling position as if I weight nothing. His face is so pure and so innocent like I am standing in front of a little angel. He leans his face to the side and looks at me questioningly with wide eyes.

"I didn't think we would get to know each other so soon." He says in an angelic voice.

I want to say something I don't understand what he's talking about but he interrupts me and keeps talking.

"Mom just got here and she told me a lot about you. Dad was mean to her wasn't he? he is also the reason why Mom is with me so early."

I'm slowly becoming aware of who is standing in front of me, it's certainly not an angel or in some way it is, I kneel down in front of him so that we're at eye level.

„Why does Dad hate us so much Soo-Yun. We're his family, we didn't do anything to him, did we? I was looking forward to meeting him too but I don't want to see him anymore. He hurt you and Mom a lot."

I put his hands in mine. I look at him and It is like looking into my mother's eyes. He has that innocent look of hers. He is my brother, the brother who didn't make it in the womb. The baby my mother had lost.

I let his face slide into my hands. My tears roll down my cheeks and he immediately smiles and wipes them off my face.

"My sister, don't be sad. I have waited 11 years to meet our mother and now we're reunited. She is happier than ever and I'll take good care of her."

"Am I not staying with you?" I ask him.

He gently shakes his head in my hands

"No, as nice as it would be to have the two of you here. It's not your time to stay yet. You still have to fix some things down there don't you? Someday when you're old and gray we'll see each other again okay? By then I'll have spent a long time here and you will return satisfied as someone who has lived a perfect life with ups and down's, but most of all with your soulmate by your side. But hey, don't forget me understand?"

My body is dissolving more and more and I realize that I don't have much time here anymore.

"I promise I won't forget you. Take care of mom until I get back here okay my little one? I love you" I scream in a shaky voice which is getting quieter and quieter.

"She is so proud of you Soo-Yun and she loves you more than anything. We will miss you so much my loving sister."

And with that I dissolve completely.

My mom is dead...

but that's okay, she's with her child - my brother and I had the privilege of meeting him too. My mother is in good hands and no longer has to suffer.

For the first time in years I don't have to worry anymore.

I am now ready to actually live my life.
