"This is Pont Neuf !! The oldest bridge of Paris !!", the guide woman exclaimed spreading her hands forth in the air.
Chi Won weaved his fingers in to mine and pulled me along with him.
He listened to the guide nodding his head earnestly as if he were listening.
I felt the tension on his palm.
I walked casually gazing at the calm waters of River Seine.
I smiled lightly. Eun Ha would know why. I'm missing that bitch .
Where is she and with whom ? I sighed.
" Are you having a good time ?", Chi Won asked.
"Obviously ", I answered as if I was automated to answer like that .
" The dress really goes on well with your attitude",he looked at me with leering eyes.
I was wearing a red lace vestido.
The guide went away to the lavatory near by.
Chi Won bent his body over the bridge's rail and placed his elbows over it . He looked relaxed .
I stood near to him.
"My attitude ? Brief on it ", I asked him detached
" How shall I put it ?? It's so ...mmmm...fierce. You want to be in torment. It's like you are always inside a hot flame. It's tormenting but you consider the flame as your cocoon. Your spirit is invincible.",he spoke gazing dreamily at the sky.
I did not reply in turn but sighed.
We walked back to our room.
"Don't you want to make out?", I asked in a dead pan voice.
" Is there a need for it?", he rolled his eyes lying on the bed.
"5:30 PM", I reminded him looking at the clock.
" I remember about it. You can leave by 6 and do as you wish. Make yourself comfortable",he spoke lazily and went to his electronic gadgets.
Whatever
I sat there over the bed for the rest of the time.
When it was six I announced it and changed in to a grey turtle neck shirt and denims.
I left without a word. I had considerable amount in my ragged sling bag.
Pont Neuf was 2miles away from the hotel. I walked slowly and reached by 7:30. It was dark and cold. I sat down on a free spot and closed my eyes.
My hair flipped over my face.
I was like that for how many hours ? Who the hell knows ?
I opened my eyes when I felt a light thud over my face .
A rain drop.
I closed my eyes again without moving. The bridge was empty by now.
I softly sang my mother's favourite french song.

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus et le temps perdu

Do not leave me now
We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
All that's flown beyond
Let's forget the time
The misunderstands
And the wasted time
To find out how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes kill
The blows of why,
A heart full of joy.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

I opened my eyes after hearing a soft ethereal sound as if asking for help.
I got up instinctively.
Puppies at the end of the bridge.
They were getting drenched in rain. Totally there were two light brown puppies.
I did not cease my singing .
I kept singing to myself as I went near them.
I knelt down and touched one. Another strange hand moved forward towards the other one.
I turned and saw a man in a dark blue hoodie.
I stopped my singing and stared at him.
"They are so puny ", he spoke examining them.
I couldn't clearly get a glimpse of his face.
Now I reverted my attention to the puppies.
" What song is it ?", he asked.
I did not answer.
He was not hitting on me.
"The yip of the puppies , the sound of the rain and your song strangely comforted my heart", he explained as if he was stating a fact.
" Ne Me Quitte Pas", I replied getting wet in the rain.
He did not respond.
We four were completely wet from the rain.
The rain kept pouring down.

It was cold and dark . It was warm and nice at the same time.
