"I think this is enough" Win uttered to his self and looked at me and gave me a smile.

I gave him a weak smile as a response. I stared at the wall for a minute. Something's heavy in my chest.

Seeing Him makes my heart jump out of joy, to be very honest,  but there's a side that tells me I should be mad at him. Forgiveness isn't easy as one two three. It's a thing that not anyone can do, not anyone can give.

I closed my eyes and breathe deeply.

"Bright, Thank you for this" Win said.

"Umm, no problem" I uttered still not looking into him.

"Are you okay?" Win suddenly asked me. I looked at him innocently and nods

"I should get going." He said and left me still sitting on the sofa.

Minutes has passed and the door opened, It was my mom with her Basket full of leafy vegetables and some pineapple. She slowly closed the door and reached for my place

"Guess what I bought for you" My mom said while rubbing his hand to the basket of Pineapple.

I just stared at her for a seconds and her facial reaction suddenly changed

" My son seems so sad, Is there any problem?" My mom coed as if I'm still a baby.

"No. Nothing mom" I weakly smiled to her and she suddenly hugged me and pats my back.

"I saw him earlier. I understand why you suddenly feel sad if that's what you feel" My mom calmly said.

"How do you know him?" I said still hugging her.

The most comfortable place in the earth is in mom's arms. Her hugs are always warm and tight. Warm that a frozen heart can melt. I guess that's the love of a mother.

"Your Dad told me everything" She said.

I closed my eyes and trying not to cry.

"Mom, Why am I still affected?" I whispered.

"It's because you can't let go of the memories you shared together. Sometimes the only thing that make us stay to the person we love the most isn't themselves but rather, the memories we created with them. It can be a happy or traumatic one. But as time pass by, Memories will be vanish and the least thing you can do is to let them go, and make a new one." My mom continuously said still tapping my back.

"Mom"

"Mmm, my son?" She mumbled.

"Can you strip the pineapple for me?" I said and she hits my head.

And we both laughed each other. She wiped my tears with her thumb and fixed my hair

"I guess my son isn't my baby anymore" She said looking into my eyes

"But it doesn't mean that I can't kiss your cheeks!" I exclaimed.

We stay on the sofa with my head resting into my mom's shoulder

"Oh, I almost forgot Marky. I'll catch you later mom!" I jumped out because of what I remembered. Marky will probably mad at me

"What about the pineapple I bought for you?" She shouted as I run fast paced into my room.

"Put it on the fridge and sprinkled it with salt. Keep it away from Dad" I uttered

"O-okay"

"Bye mom" I said and kissed her cheek, I went to the garage and grab my bicycle and peddle my bike into the publishing house.

"I thought you are not coming?" Marky sarcastically asked me.

"Sorry" I shortly said and puts my bag into the desk

"Seems like you had a bad day" He asked me once more.

"No. I just had a conversation with my mom" I looked to Marky "How was the First chapter I sent to you?" I added.

"The publishing company liked it, they even ask me for the next chapter. It feels like the character of the story looks like you, P'Bright" Marky said with his hands on his chest.

"So what's next?" I asked him.

He brings out the paper from his bag and opened the cap of ballpen using his mouth.

"Just sign in here and next week, they will post your story through ebooks" He said pointing out where I should sign.

"Ah, that's nice." I said.

"And that's for today, you can have your free time for now" Marky said and pats my back "Better get going, Bye, P'Bright"

I peddle my bike and head home the reflection of the sun made the water from the river side yellow. I noticed that I was peddling so slow and when I checked it, The front wheel was flat.

I have no choice but to walk.

Good thing, I was into the river side. Somehow, I enjoyed walking because of the scenery.

It feels like the character of the story looks like you

I looked to the river and it made me stop from walking.

The river roars even how graceful the water is.

I threw a stone from it. Do you know why water roar loud? It's because of the current and stones that are underneath. Like the river, Even how calm a person can be, they still have the demons inside of them that made them outrageous, that made them sad, that made them feel worthless.

I put down my bicycle to the ground and went close to the river and I saw my reflection.

"How are you?" I asked myself and I sound really crazy for talking to myself.

"We should forgive him, right? It's been 8 years tho." I said and stared to my reflection.

Should we make new memories?
