Stay With Me

Chapter Nine: Dream and past

One time, Rose decided to go to the market to do some shopping.

When she arrived, she started wandering around the corners and noticed one of the stalls that attracted her, so she decided to approach it.

There was an old woman standing at the head of the stall, and she was displaying handmade clothes, the quality of which seemed to be exquisite.

Rose decided to talk to the old lady and asked about the clothes on display, and this led to an interesting and honest conversation between the two, during which they talked about life and the importance of connecting generations.

Suddenly, Rose had an incredible surprise, as she saw Suho wandering around the market, far away from her, not noticing her presence.

The conversation between Rose and the old woman was interrupted by a sudden noise.
Rose looked up and saw a figure walking towards them.

At first, she couldn't tell who it was, but as the person approached, she realized with great fear that it was Suho.

"Suho, no!"

Then she saw a flash of anger in Suho's eyes.
It was a short moment, but it was enough to make her realize that he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Without thinking, she turned and ran, her heart beating in her chest.
She could hear Suho's steps behind her and his men screaming and chasing her.
She didn't know where to go, she just had to get away.

She ran through the streets, dodging people and cars, trying to lose sight of her. But they were following her relentlessly, and she knew she wouldn't be able to outsmart them forever.

When she thought she was cornered, a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into an alley.
She tried to break free, but the hand held her tightly.

"Rose, it's me," a voice said, and she recognized it as Suho. "Please, trust me. I won't hurt you."

Rose looked at him, fear and anger fighting inside her.
She didn't know what to do and who to trust.
But then, she felt his hand on her face, his thumb wiping away her tears.

"Rose, I'm sorry," he said, his voice hoarse with emotion, "I never wanted to hurt you. Please let me make it up to you."

Rose wanted to scream, run away from him, and never look back.
But something in his eyes made her hesitate.
She didn't know what it was, but she felt drawn to it, even in her fear.

It was a dangerous feeling, you know. But she couldn't deny it.
She looked at him again, trying to gauge his intentions and feelings.

It was a rash move that could get her killed. But at that moment she didn't care.

Suho answered for a moment but then, he pulled away.

"Rose," he said, his voice rough with longing.
As Rose stood there, staring at Suho in shock, her mind began to race back to a time long ago, to the past she thought she had left behind.

She remembered her parents and siblings, their happy family moments, their struggles and their love.

I remembered everything so clearly as if it had happened yesterday.

But then, as if in a nightmare, she remembered the moment when it all ended.
The moment she witnessed their deaths before her eyes.

The moment when Suho walked away from her, leaving her broken and alone.

It was a painful memory that has haunted her ever since.
She tried so hard to forget, to move on, but it never left her and now, after seeing Suho again, everything was coming back to her in a hurry.

She felt anger and pain welling up inside her, mixed with love and longing that never went away.

It was an overwhelming mix of emotions, and she didn't know how to deal with it all.

As she stood there lost in her thoughts, Suho's voice brought her back to the present.

But Rose was still suffering from the onslaught of memories.
She couldn't put them aside and listen to him.

"But I had no choice"

Rose wanted to attack him, scream, curse and hit him.

She wanted to run away and never see him again.

But at the same time, I felt a nagging curiosity, a need to know the truth, to understand why.
Suho smiled a strange smile, "After all, I want to regret it, but I couldn't."

Rose raised her trembling hand and slapped Suho.

Rose left the market, her face very pale. She was walking slowly, her legs shaking.

She was dizzy and tired, and couldn't believe what had happened

Rose was shocked.

I couldn't believe what I heard,
Rose raised her head and looked up at the sky her eyes were full of tears
Then suddenly, she felt a strong tingling sensation in her chest.
She fell to the ground and started crying

When Rose opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange place.

. She was on a bed, and she felt someone holding her hand, she looked around but couldn't see the person's face.

"where am I?" I asked.

When Rose woke up from her sleep, she felt a fever settling in her body. 

As she lay on her bed, she fell into a state of weakness and weakness but sleep was not peaceful, as she was suffering from nightmares that almost drove her crazy.

One of those nights, which was taking place in a house near the sea, the image of her dear mother who had died before her eyes appeared in Rose's dream. 
Her mother's face looked unusually bright, as if full of happiness and tenderness.  Rose gave a little hope and determination, indicating that there was a hidden force seeking to support her in these difficult moments.

Rose woke up from the dream feeling a strange sense of relief and calm. 

She felt as if her mother was in the room with her, supporting and encouraging her.

The next day, Rose felt a little better.  Her fever had gone down, and she was starting to feel more energy.
 
She decided to get out of the house and get some fresh air.

Rose left the house and headed to the river near the house. 
The sun was shining, and the wind was gentle. 
Rose sat on the sand and looked at the sea.

Rose felt a deep peace fill her.  She felt as if she was finally free of all the pain and fear she was feeling.
