Fallen

39: Which one?

The weather was still good, while the sun was still lighting up the city with its heat wave and bright rays. Sana closed the curtains, leaving her room dark and cold, good atmosphere to keep her relaxed and get her thoughts together. She wrapped herself in her thick sheet of a white blanket and sat down on her bed, staring at the wall. Sana did look like she was at the peak becoming insane or already is, but that's how she sorts things out in her head. 

"That's it I'm going," she said as she removed the blanket around her, grabbed her keys, wallet and phone. It was three forty in the afternoon, and she drove her car to the building, going to meet up with the professor in his office. Sana waited outside, as students and teachers walked past her by the minute. Later, the professor then was already walking in the hallway, greeting Sana with a genuine smile from afar. 

"Good, you're in time," he said as he unlocked his office's door and entered as Sana followed him inside. He gestured her to take a seat in front of his table, while he was still fixing his things."Mr. Qui what are we going to discuss about?" she asked impatiently, and he sat down on his chair, facing her. "Tell me what it looked like. The one this morning before you went to sleep"

"But how did you know about it first?" Sana asked, simply switching roles in the room. He smiled, "I can't tell you everything in detail right now but you know, some people you've met before, and not too long ago"

"You mean..." she paused, looking at him curiously, "them?"

"Yes, them"

"What do these things have to do with me?"

"You know all about it" he replied and brought out a folder. Sana opened it and it was all familiar to her, "You might have an idea about these..."

"Y-yeah...." She answered in a low voice, scanning all the pictures and papers carefully. He leaned forward and rested his upper weight on his arms on the table, "Tell me... What you can say about this"

She didn't reply and started connecting the papers to its subject. Though they were somehow related, they didn't really answer anything, even the numbers she had received. Sana placed the papers down gently on the wood carved table, and said, "They don't make any sense. They're nothing close to what I know"

She closed the folder and stood up, "I don't think I can help with anything here. I'll leave now sir" Before she could walk away, he spoke, "What do you mean? There could be another way to solve all this"

"I don't think there is," she said and her phone rang, " I'll leave now sir, my mom is calling me" Sana directly walked out of the room and answered the call, "Yes mom?"

"Let's go shopping later, it won't be too long till we leave for home," her mother said over the phone. Sana sighed and replied, "Seriously mom? Right now?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No..." she paused, "I mean, why now? We have a free week before we leave"

"We'll be using that week to completely pack up everything hon', I'll be leaving. Let's meet at the mall okay?"

"okay, bye" Sana said and hung up the call.

She walked back to her car and drove ahead to the mall and waited for her mom to arrive inside a botique shop. While she was looking at the clothes, she heard her mom call her name and turned around, "What should we buy first mom?"

Mrs. Minatozaki walked around the shop to look for something and then replied, "Winter clothes of course since snow would already be piling up the streets by this season" They looked around for sweaters, jackets, and boots to wear when they arrive in Seoul, and like any other mother with her daughter, it took quite a while to find something they preferably like.
