Girl In The Winter's

Chapter 51

Ayumi walked into the painting exhibition building located not far from the United Nations park in Busan. He walked slowly, his chest beating violently considering he knew who the owner of a single exhibition that hundreds of people attended every day. As today, the room was filled with visitors who were amazed to see the work of the Maestro of Negri Ginseng pride. Yes, the Maestro is Kim Seung Won or the international world knows him as Erik Kim.

It had been almost three years that he had not met the man, a year ago when Ayumi got the news that Grandpa Erik had died he hoped to see the man even though he was just a silhouette of his body, but his hope was in vain the man did not reveal his nose even though. Until finally the last few days Ayumi read in one of the media that the man will hold his solo exhibition in Busan.

Ayumi's steps came to a halt when she saw the first object of the painting exhibition, her eyes widened in disbelief, her heart beating violently, she covered her gaping mouth using her palm. His eyes looked more and more at the painting to make sure that the girl in the painting was him.

And he now believes that he was sitting on a giant rock in the hiking area of Stanley Park enjoying the sunrise, the painting from the side showed half of her face staring at a tinge of red with a blank look. He remembered that day when he found out that his mother had died.

Ayumi continued to see the next painting, this time when she came home from hiking while riding a bicycle, he walked back and saw a painting of himself sitting under a maple tree while reading a novel complete with his white earphones, ayumi has not lost her surprise when she saw a painting of herself staring at the sunset at Vancouver Look Out, some even showed a painting of him on top of the Busan Hospital building with his doctor's suit staring at the twilight of the Busan sky.

Ayumi wandered around with wide eyes in disbelief that all the paintings were hers, until finally Ayumi stood in front of a giant painting with the title “Girl In The Winter” which successfully attracted the attention of many people. He could no longer hold his tears when he saw a painting of himself standing under the snow by wearing a light blue knit hat, a white coat that was in harmony with the color of the snow, his right hand wearing light blue knit gloves pulled his dark red suitcase, while his smiling face looked up at the sky dropping snowflakes that fell on his left palm.

“This..” said Ayumi with a trembling voice.

“Isn't she very pretty?”

Ayumi turned her gaze towards the voice she still knew well. Beside him stood the tall, sturdy body of the man he had longed for three years, his sharp eyes not to be separated staring at the giant painting before them. Ayumi still could not believe what she saw, the man she had only been able to meet in her dreams was now actually standing next to her, his maturity making her much more handsome and attractive.

Realizing that Ayumi was staring at him from earlier made Erik turn his gaze to look at the woman he loved half-dead, and now there was nothing more that could hinder their love. Erik finds out from his father that Ayumi also already knows about his status. Some time they just stared at each other releasing longings regardless of the gaze of those who began to realize that the beautiful woman who wore a knee-length dress colored peach and high heel was the object of all the paintings that be at the exhibition.

“You..” said Ayumi with a vibrating voice full of longing that made Erik smile softly.

“Include me, I'm Kim Seung Won but you can call me Erik Kim,” Erik said smiling as he reached out his hand asking Ayumi to shake hands, Ayumi just stared at the helping hand in disbelief, he looked back at Erik's still smiling face gently, raised his eyebrows and interjected with his eyes so that Ayumi received a helping hand, but the girl was silent as if she did not believe that the man before her was real, until she finally hesitantly accepted the man's hand.

“It's nice to meet you Ayumi-Ssi,” said Erik with a smile getting wider.

They were still looking at each other with their hands shaking tightly in front of the painting, their eyes staring at each other longingly, slowly a smile began to rise on the lips of the two and the longer the smile grew wider.

This is a new beginning for them. A beginning that they will begin with love, a new page that they will fill with a story of happiness. Let them leave all their suffering and sorrow with their dark past behind, not to be forgotten but to be a lesson to both, they grow up because of their past. But for the future let them be selfish and fill it with only happy stories and love each other.
