Tear of Winter [complete]

PART 1

“What the hell just happened??” a question I keep asking to myself, my head is a bit dizzy, I’m about to throw up but still, I can’t believe this is really happening. I keep scratching my head due to frustration, also to the fact that I’m supposed to be at the back of a bar throwing up. When I woke-up I ended up being here, in a park where everything is covered by snow.

It’s already snowing, good timing for my confusion. I really hate snow, it’s cold and all you can see is white. It’s a bit sad to look at if you ask me. I can’t understand why some loves the snow, for me It’s pathetic, loving a cold depressing weather like this makes me sick. I just want to go home. “This is so frustrating!!!” I yelled high enough to be heard from a far; maybe by this I can remove my irritation just a bit.

I haven’t stop walking since I woke up from this place. In my heart I knew I wanted to get out from here, but it seems this place is keeping me from running away, I can’t find an exit, even a living soul. I was about to lose hope, when I found a ray of light. “Yes!! A vending machine at last!!”; I was really happy, like a child given a toy on Christmas I was so excited that all the energy that left me behind returned once more. I was about to insert money when I heard something, “Excuse me…”

It was a voice of a girl; I just realized I’m not the only person standing here. She was invisible to my eyes when I saw the vending machine, well, she can still be invisible if she hasn’t spoken at all. “I-I’m still choosing here, please wait after me…” I looked at her and stared her like I’m about to devour her alive, but she didn’t say a word after her last sentence, we looked at each other for a long time and I ended up being defeated. “Why? Why is it hard to understand a silent type person??” I murmured as I gave way for her to choose.

She stared at the choices, while doing so I looked at her from head to toe. I couldn’t figure her body measurement due to her huge jacket; I can’t even see her face clearly because of her large bonnet and loose scarf covering half of her face. Everything is out of proportion to her, even her shoes are big. “Heh…” I smirked while looking in a difference direction. This kind of girl can be easily fooled and controlled that’s what I think.

She finally picks a choice, but it’s odd, she chooses an orange juice. An orange juice in this cold weather? You gonna be kidding me…as I made a face palm expression. It’s my turn already and I choose a hot coffee in can, I thought that’s the end of it, well, that’s what I thought. As I tried to open the can I saw her sitting at the bench located at the side of the vending machine. “I never noticed a bench here earlier…” puzzled, I sat at the other corner of the bench while the girl sat on the other side.

“Damn it, why am I getting bothered by this kind of set-up?” I couldn’t understand this kind of feeling; I want her to leave, it’s making me nervous, but I can’t say that out loud right? I would look bad if I do that, although I’m used in saying bad things but that is only at work purposes. But it’s been 15 minutes and she hasn’t drunk her juice yet. A force keeps telling me not to open my coffee in can, even if I want to, my hands are like frozen. I sigh and said it at loud, “I’m really pathetic…”

She noticed me for the 1st time, me who is sitting next to her, who let her choose 1st in the vending machine. She looked at my face with question mark expression, and then suddenly she opens her mouth. “Do you like snow?” she said with a calm voice.

“Me? I would prefer spring, winter makes me sick, it’s cold and you can’t do anything but to watch it from your window…” I answered her question brilliantly, I really don’t like winter season, and so does the snow. She raised her hand and snow droplets keep falling from it, she stared her hands and smiled. “Do you know that story of from guardian angel to death angel?”

“A what?” I can’t understand where this conversation will lead to.

“A guardian angel… An angel who watches over you and a death angel who calls you when it’s your time…” and before I knew it, she starts telling a story. I am not interested, but because I can’t do anything right now I thought no hurt can be done by listening.
