"Mother?"

Large crowd surrounding him, it was almost like a tall building. He couldn't see anything and the longer he look around, the more he feel suffocated.

He was enjoying a walk through the market with his mother, untill something distracted him and causing him to let go his mother hand.

And now he is lost.

Tears start surging up his eyes, he clutch his chest in frightened.

"Mommy?"

He didn't want to give up, his mother always taught him to be brave and never give up.

But no matter where he walk, he couldn't see the sight of his mother.

The cold weather didn't help.

He end up standing on the side walk and watch people who look busy walking.

His lips trembling."Mommy..help me.."

"Are you lost?"

The sudden voice startled him, he look up and see a lady? He couldn't clearly see his face because she was wearing a cloak and the hood is over her head.

He step farther from the person, his mother always said to be careful around stranger. But right now his mother was nowhere to be seen and the sky is getting darker.

And no one seem to care, so maybe he could ask some help?

"I-i..i lost my mommy."

The person nod, she bend her body to be same height as he is.

"Do you remember what your mommy look like?"

Because it's winter, all people wearing a coat or cloak, he tried to remember what coat did his mom where but he couldn't find anything in his memory.

He began to panicking and tears streaming down as he shook his head 'no'.

The kind lady oat his head."That's okay, don't cry. Why don't i accompany you here until your mommy find you?"

He didn't want to wait alone so he subconsciously nod again. The lady then motion him to sit down on a abandoned box so his leg won't sore.

"What's your name, little boy?"

He pursue his lips tightly."Mother said I can't tell my name to a stranger." He quietly speak.

The kind lady hummed.

"Well your mother is right. My apologies, my name is E̴̸̶̵̵̴̶̸̢̧̢̡̯͉͇̩̼̰̱͉͚̥͈̭̲͎̜̳̣̥̗͇͙̭̺̩͓̣̞̘̦̫͚̿̂͌̂̔͋̋̓̾̊ͤ̓͛ͣͬ̑͊̍̃̊ͬ̋̌̎ͭ̎̍̔ͫ̿̓̒́̕͘̕̕͢͢͜͞͝͏҉̴̶̴̢̀͘͟͜͟͟͟͢͞͝͡l̷̢̡̰̻͓͇̬͍͚͓̞̞̙̹͕̤̼̥̺̿ͨ̈́̎̑͛ͤ̀̒̇͌̈́̓̔͛̎̅̓̑̂́ͮ̆ͬͯ̾͐̍ͫ̔ͬ̅͋ͭͭ̌̀̆͛͂̾͠͝͡͡ͅ͏̧̨̛̀͟͢͟͞ę̵̙̰̥̟̳̜͕̙̬̮͚̆̓͒͛̔͒͋ͬ̓͋ͭ̚͏̶̶̷̸̛̛͘͘͢͢͜͟͠͝a̴̶̷̷̸̸̵̴̵̢̢̡̢̢̧̢̛̛̛̛͙̟̻̥͈͚̝͍̝̹̫̮̜̼̫̫̒̋ͧͯ̓͂̓͌ͧ̔̄̄̓̄͑̅̊̿ͤ͂ͥͧ̃͂̀̚̕̕͟͜͟͜͟͜͟͟͠͞͞͞͞͝͡͡ͅṉ̩̬̣̮̠̺̝̱̹̻̺̗̥̜̬̯̖̳̹̭̮ͥͤͨ̇e̞͎̟͔̭̫̠͈̥̭̍̽ͭ́́͊ͭ̂͗͋̈ͩ̋ͫ͌͛̉͛̀̔̋̽̏̃̇͑ͪͦͭ̎ͮͤͥͩ̾̉ͯ͌ͩ̎."

He didn't hear clearly her name because of the crowd but he still didn't want to be rude."I'm Kohu."

The kind lady smile underneath her hood."That is a very beautiful name."

Kohu slowly grin."Really? My mom name it!" He innocently said.

"Well your mom is sure wonderful for naming you."

Kohu nod vigorously."Mommy said she has to battle with father when she's naming me." He kick his foot playfully.

"I didn't know you have to fight to make a name."

A snort came out of the hood."Is that so?"

Kohu hummed."Yes! Then she said she released a big monster to fight back, so she win the battle."

He stopped when he hear a bell of laughing. The lady waas laughing so free that the hood of her face falls down.

"..!"

Her golden locks falls down to either side of her neck, making her face that look smaller. She was thin and pale, but her smiling face somehow didn't show it that she is a weak lady.

Her laugh gradually slow down. She look at Kohu who's staring at her in daze. She tilt her head in question until he finally open his mouth.

"Are you an angel?"

The question made her almost choke.

He ask her with his shining and big unresistable emerald eyes that was too pure for the world.

The lady smile and said."Unfortunately, I'm no angel little boy."

Kohu pout."But mommy said only angel has a prettiest face when she read me bedtime story." He mumble.

The lady caress his hair."Maybe one day you'll see a real angel."

As the wind getting colder, Kohu rub his palm together hoping to eased the shiver he feels. The lady took a notice, so she decided to pick the boy, sit down and hug his little body for more cozy heat.

Kohu face flushed seeing that he's on a pretty lady's lap and was about to jump down, but the lady hold him still and gently says."It's alright." Kohu didn't dare to move an inch but after a while he fully lean on her chest.

The two continue to talk after that. Kohu was finally distracted from his anxious and even almost forgot that he was lost.

It wasn't until a worry voice calls him.

"Kohu!"

The little boy turn and saw his mother with two guard following behind her. Even his father who was supposed to be in meeting was there.

He smile wide, jump out the lady hold and run to his parent.

"Mother! Father!"

The couple hug their precious son closely. His mother peck his face."My lord you've frightened me, dear. Please don't ever let go of my hand next time."

His father hug his wife shoulder and pat Kohu's head softly."You worried us, kid."

Kohu sniffed."I'm sorry. I will never do that again."

They let go of Kohu and check if he has any injuries."Let me see. Are you hurt? Was there a bad guy following you?"

Kohu denied his mother and even smile."Actually, a pretty lady help me and told me to wait for you to find me."

His mother face paled."Did she touched you anywhere that is uncomfortable? You know you can tell us anything."

The little boy shake his head."She never tried to hurt me. She even hug me so i won't feel cold.!" He spread his arm in excitement."She is very beautiful! Like the pretty angel you told me in bedtime, mom."

The couple look at eachother in concern. His mother softly ask him.

"Can you introduce her to us?"

Kohu nod and was about to call the pretty lady, but he found nothing besides the box that's she was sitting while hugging him.

He tilt his head in confusion."She was here before..."

The father sigh."Maybe we will thank her tomorrow." His wife nod and take his hand."Come on, let's go home."

Kohu couldn't help but feel sad. He subconsciously look back to where he last saw her. He tighten his hold on his mother palm, maybe tomorrow she'll be there again.















































Elin look at the family walk away from her. She clenched the necklace, where she hanged the ring that 'he' gave her.












"Maybe i have to wait.....again."
