"Ayyu, I'm here! Tada!" I said showing him my new uniform.

"Is that your new uniform?"

"Yeah, I'm in college now."

He look at me from head to toe. "Somehow, you started to look like a woman now."

"I am a woman." I protest.

"Let's go."

Even though I'm in college now, a lot of my high school friends are in the same course, so it doesn't really feel like anything changed.

Somehow, Ayyu ages much slower than humans.

As years go by my appearance changes, but Ayyu is almost the same as the day we met.

Then, a thought come into me;Someday, I'll be older than him, won't I?

We walk by the bridge the other day. He wore the scarf that I give him and I can't help but wonder....
"In three years, when I graduate," I started. "I plan on looking for a job here. Then, I can be with you more. Not just during winter, but in autumn, spring and summer, right?"

"I'm looking forward to it," he said. He stopped walking and stared at the frozen lake for a while. Then, he looked back at me and said, "Keera, let me tell you about myself..... I'm wasn't born a Kinaree. But, I'm no longer human. It seems like I was once a human when I was a baby. I was abandoned in this forest. I'd only just been abandoned, so I cried helplessly as if to call back the parents who left me. They say I didn't stop crying for a long time. I should have died then, but the Great Nakee appeared and save me. To keep me alive, she placed the curse of the Kinaree upon me. So I never move on. I'm like a ghost, Keera. It's okay if you forget about me. A body that's maintained by magic is very weak. If it touches a real human body, the spell will be broken and the body will disappear. It's such a fragile thing."

"Something that disappears when touched...just like the snow, isn't it?" I looked at him in the eyes and said, "You know, I always thought of you during winter. Even autumn, spring and summer. Ayyu, don't forget about me. Time might separate us someday. But, even still, until then, let's stay together."

And my heart will always be with you.
