The Back To 2012

2. The Welcome Back 2012

Take off the longing just by remembering it in a chat. Spring and Alex reminisce about Winter in his chat. Every memory that was recalled, was shot out of Spring and Alex's mouth. It was painful but also pleasant, as every shared memory of Winter was imagined in his eyes and mind.

They drift in memory of Winter, until the figure of the man who became his best friend and first love Spring, feels very close like being sitting next to them. What because Spring was too washed away in memory of Winter, so that both eyes also flooded.

Although Spring wanted to cry, but he could bear it as much as possible. Too embarrassed to show it to Alex. Alex who as his brother alone is not crybaby when remembering the figure of his sister.

They chatted for a long time, until when they were satisfied enough to talk about Winter, Alex went home. However, Spring still remained silent under the sakura tree without willing to step foot in the slightest. The day is getting late, but Spring is reluctant to go home. Because according to him just by being near his favorite tree, the figure of Winter feels like it is nearby.

Spring missed Winter too much, he who had held back tears, finally could freely let out his tears.

Slowly his hands began to touch the tree while crying sobbing. "I miss you so much, Winter. I'd really like to meet you. God, can you take me to where Winter is. Life without it is too hard for me."

However, suddenly the wind blew so hard that it made the leaves and cherry blossoms fly. Sontak Spring was confused by the suddenly windy weather, even though the sky was very bright not allowing for the wind. Moreover, the wind was blowing very hard, like a storm in the rainy season.

If Spring continues to dwell under the tree, it will be very dangerous if there are twigs or stems that fall on him. Spring rushed off as well. However, when his step was on the fifth step, his vision suddenly blurred. And slowly only a white light was visible in his eyes.

Spring was panicked with his vague look at it. He was afraid to step, because when he stepped he did not know what would hit him. Likely, Spring will also fall if you make a wrong move.

Sontak Spring also closed both eyes while crouching. His breath gasped for panic and fear that he could not control. He stayed in place while shouting for help.

"Please... Please, is there anyone who can help me" he said repeatedly.

After a long time Spring shouted, there was finally someone calling his name. Slowly both eyes opened. However, when his eyes were already opened, his gaze was even stranger than the one before. What he saw this time was no longer white light, but a ceiling like being in a room.

Then the voice that called out his name, came back. This time his voice was getting clearer and louder in his ears, it even felt that someone was touching his arm.

"Spring." call someone who called out to him while shaking his arm.

Spring quickly turned to his side. He was half-deadly shocked as he stared clearly at the person who called his name.

"Lucy" said Spring staring at the person who had called his name.

Lucy is his best friend who he hasn't seen in a long time. The last time Spring saw her, she was 17 years old on the day of Winter's departure. In addition to Spring in staying away by Winter, Spring is also in staying away by his best friend named Lucy. Lucy's departure is different from Winter's. Lucy leaves Chicago to join her parents and moves out of town. At that time, Spring did not have time to ask which city his best friend would live in. Because 10 years ago, his relationship with Lucy was tenuous. Even until now Spring does not know Lucy's mobile number.

Spring unceasingly looked at Lucy's face with her astonished look.

"Hey, why do you keep looking at me like that. Do you think my face looks weird?" ask Lucy to be astonished.

"Yes, your face is very strange. You even look the same as I saw 10 years ago."

Lucy furrowed her brows. "Did my face look like a 7-year-old kid."

Spring chuckled. "You're not like a 7-year-old. But more precisely like a 17-year-old teenager, when you are now 27."

"Is there a ball carried by the wind until it hits my head. All I remember was squatting while closing my eyes. And I don't remember that ball hitting my head."

"Hey Spring, there's no wind blowing. You were hit by a ball when our class was doing sports on the field. Even you passed out and had to carry Winter to the UKS."

It's really very strange, how could he faint from being hit by a ball. As he remembered it, Spring was crouching in front of his family's Villa Winter. He did remember fainting because his head was hit by a ball, but the incident happened 10 years ago. And even more strangely, if this is just a dream, somehow it feels like real. Especially the part of his head that feels like it has been hit by something.

"Is this a dream? I seemed to be unconscious after being hit by a very strong wind. I need to wake up and go home soon, so as not to worry my mom and dad."

Lucy pinches Spring's arm. "You've awoken, and now you're fully conscious."

The more strange, Lucy's pinch was really very painful. Just contact Spring was in a hurry to shuffle from his bed. He was really confused with a situation that could not happen. He went back to the time where he went to school.

"What year is it now?" ask Spring to panic.

"Now in 2012. You're so weird Spring, people usually forget dates, but you forget years."

"Then, what month is it?" ask Spring again.

Lucy sigh. "What now you also forget about the moon, it is now February. Don't forget the same date, if today is the 29th.

"And now where's Winter ?"

"Winter is now on the football field, because the boys in our class are playing football with the next class."

Spring then hurriedly shuffled out of the patient's bed. He ran even though his head felt very dizzy, because maybe as mentioned Lucy earlier, that his head was hit by a ball. If it is now February 2012, it means Spring can be reunited with a man who always missed him.

Upon arrival at the field, Spring was shocked to death when he saw Winter's figure which was very clearly visible in his eyes. He ran towards Winter crying. And quickly, Spring hugged the man she missed every day.

"I miss you so much, Winter."

Spring sobbed in the arms of his first love, he did not expect that God had granted his request to meet a man who was always in his hands. And God has granted her request to go where Winter is, which is in 2012.

"Spring, are you okay? Your condition doesn't seem to be okay after it was hit by the ball" Winter said in confusion.

"Hiks... I miss you so much, Winter."

Winter. "You're really very strange. Every day we meet but why do you miss me. You'd better see a doctor, your head looks like it's injured."

Spring shook. "I'm perfectly fine after meeting you."

Winter removed her body from Spring's hold. "You better let me go. Because because of you, I failed to kick the ball into the goal. And look around you, everybody's staring at us and they're all laughing at us." Winter shook. "You've embarrassed me so much, Spring."
