Girl In The Winter's

Chapter 40

Lately Erik has been acting as a good lover, he accompanies wherever Yuri, his fiancee goes though with a heavy heart but he must get used to it. As today he had promised to accompany Yuri to do the fitting of the wedding dress, honestly he still often imagined that Ayumilah who was wearing the wedding dress then he would be happy to go through the procession. But the rice had become porridge, all that had happened that he had to do now was follow the fate that had been written for him.

With a shaky step he entered the boutique, the servants there had known him and immediately welcomed him warmly then said that Yuri and Soo Hyuk had come from earlier and were now upstairs. Erik went straight upstairs and his steps came to a halt when he saw someone he missed so much standing in front of the slightly open door, he furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the girl's body stiffen.

Erik slowly walked up to Ayumi who was still unaware of his arrival, he was just about to greet her when he heard the conversation between Yuri and Soo Hyuk that made her blood boil, her breathing hunt down, and her breathing was, his heart skipped a beat with anger, not wanting to believe what he heard that the two sisters had been playing with their lives so nicely.

But this time it was not only him who heard it, there was someone who was equally hurt listening to it all. The round-eyed girl's body trembled so much that her hands could no longer hold the plastic glass containing strawberry juice, which finally fell to the floor and made the two people who were inside the room stare towards them with wide eyes in surprise.

"Seung Won Oppa." Yuri's voice sounded nervous.

"Yumy." Lee Soo Hyuk immediately stood up from his seat, his eyes staring at the black eyes of Ayumi who was also staring at him with the look of injured eyes.

"You... So all this time you've known about it and planned all this?" Erik's cold and sharp voice made Ayumi turn her body and only realized that the man was also listening to what made his life back in the throes of disappointment. Not wanting to be there any longer he decided to leave, regardless of the screams Lee Soo Hyuk called him he kept running away all dead.

Erik confronts Lee Soo Hyuk who is going after Ayumi.

"You! I've trusted you and given the woman I love the most to look after you, but what have you done!" Erik yells right in front of Soo Hyuk who is trying to break free from Erik's grip to pursue Ayumi.

"I shouldn't trust b*j*ng*n like you." Erik threw the surgeon's body until staggered back, now his eyes looked sharply at Yuri who had paled.

"Our battle is over, there will be no marriage!" he said firmly with his characteristic cold voice that made Yuri paled even more.

"Oppa. oppa, wait! Oppa, you can't do that to me! Oppa, you can't cancel our wedding!"

Erik paid no heed to Yuri who was now shouting like a madman, he half ran after Ayumi. He stopped when he saw Kevin who looked confused hearing the screams from upstairs.

"Did you see, Ayumi?" Erik asked in a hurry.

"If you want to hit people, you're on the wrong target. We'd better find your sister now! I'll explain later."

Cussing Kevin comes running behind Erik in search of Ayumi, after they split up around Haeundae and do not find the girl, they decided to search using their respective vehicles to places they always visited.

Erik remembered that Ayumi always saw the sun sink on the ceiling when he had a problem, so he looked for the girl all the places that presented a beautiful sunset view, from the roof of the hospital where he worked to the tower of Busan, but he did not find the girl in all the places he went.

Likewise with Kevin, he went to the girl's apartment and also the house of his father hoping Ayumi was there, he said, but unfortunately his hope was in vain when he found the two places deserted there was no sign of the girl's existence, until finally he accidentally saw a photo of his father and mother attached to one of the walls of their house, with the hope that remaining he ran towards his vehicle, while contacting Erik.

"I know where he is!"

The sky has turned red, the twilight will return to the western horizon and the moon will replace its duty to illuminate the earth when dark night covers. Ayumi sat down beside her mother's navel, staring into the sunset. His mother's burial place on the hill presents a view that is no less beautiful in the twilight.

"It's beautiful isn't it, Mah?" ayumi said softly with a smile as if her mother was sitting next to the girl and equally enjoying the view of Busan city in the afternoon.

"What, Mom, happy there?" Ayumi stared at the mound of land next to her that was covered in a stretch of green grass.

"Well, sure Mamah must be happy because there is no need to feel pain and disappointment." Ayumi turned her gaze back towards the front while breathing heavily.

"But why is Mamah very selfish to go alone without inviting Ayu?.. Take it easy, Mah, Ayu is no longer angry with Mamah, but.... this time Ayu hopes Mamah is here." Ayumi's voice began to choke, her eyes began to glaze over.

"Are you destined to be unhappy? Was Ayu born just to feel disappointed? In this world no one wants Ayu, Mah, so can't Mamah pick Ayu up now?" The girl's gaze had already started to blur due to the tears that started to wet her cheeks. It was silent for a while as if he was waiting for an answer from the corpse lying under the tombstone.

"Thyu was very tired, Ayu was no longer able to face all this alone, it was too heavy for Ayu when all the people Ayu loved left Ayu easily. When he was a baby, Mamah the person who had given birth to Ayu even threw Ayu away, even though now Ayu knew Mamah was very sorry, she said, women who Papah married to fill the figure of mother for Ayu even never considered Ayu exist.” Ayu took a deep breath, “Erik, the man who made Ayu fall in love chose to get engaged to another woman and leave Ayu, and now... Dr. Lee, the man who made Ayu open up for the second time only considers Ayu a game. Mama heard that, no one wants ayu, Mah, so please pick Ayu up now! Doesn't Mamah miss Ayu? We can live happily there later, both of us. It's just the two of us."
