It was like a dream

Lia's P.O.V:

"I miss you," Yeji said to me while hugging me tightly. I want to hug her and say to her how much I missed her in the past months. But my eyes and lips betrayed me. They are not cooperating with me. Both went to their shutdown mode. I tried to reply and convey my happiness and love to her.

In the past 8 months, whenever we visited Yeji she usually ignored me. And only spend her time with our daughter Yuna. I was like a chocolate wrap to her. She used to ignore me and speak only with our daughter Yuna. But this is the first, she came to me instead of our daughter and hugged me. After that accident, she doesn't feel comfortable when I am holding her hands. She used to treat it like touching a cockroach. So I never pushed myself to make her feel uncomfortable. All I want is to make her happy even with or without me.

Suddenly I heard one sound from my back, "Mom, Don't you miss me?" our daughter said with a cute pout. I can't blame her. Because Yeji always prioritises Yuna. And Yuna was a bit confused just like me. Not only for prioritising me, but after that horrible accident, Yeji felt more stressed whenever she visited our home. So as per the doctor's advice, we were meeting only somewhere outside. And currently, she is living in Ryujin, her best friend's home.

Ryujin is Yeji's closest friend. After she lost her recent memories, Ryujin is the one who took care of her. I paid all the bills for my wife. but still, without Ryujin's help, it might be difficult to handle the situation. She was taking care of Yeji like a baby. Also, Yeji felt more comfortable with Ryujin than me. It is sad but true. Quickly I remembered Yeji came here with Ryujin. So I looked at Ryujin and asked 'Is it true?' by shaking my head.

Ryujin replied by shaking her head up and down with a beautiful smile.

I felt overwhelmed with all this sudden happiness. I can't even express my happiness with words. But is it real? Don't tell me it is one of my daydreams. Even if it is a dream I don't want to wake up forever.

I couldn't process what was happening inside my house. My lovable wife Yeji is back and she is speaking to our daughter Yuna. They both looked happy. I want to keep them in the same happy state forever. For the past 8 months, I never saw my daughter genuinely happy like this. She smiled a few times, but that wasn't this pure. I just wanted to freeze the moment.

After that car accident which happened 8 months ago, Yeji had a brain injury. She was in Coma for 3 weeks and lost some of her memories. Doctors diagnosed her and concluded it as dissociative amnesia. From that day onwards, she never felt comfortable around me. But now everything has changed to normal.

I couldn't say anything to anyone at that moment. My legs dragged me outside my house. My heart is pounding as if it can explode at any moment. Silently I went outside with tearful eyes.
