REMEMBER ME?...
The Part 58
Kiara lowered the phone from her ear as soon as she saw Vano hang up the phone and smiled at her from a distance. The man then hinted at her to immediately go inside due to the increasingly frosty weather. Kiara nodded then waved her hand before stepping inside her house.
His heart felt a little light as soon as he spoke to Vano. Now, if his parents had returned home, he would have just told them about this good offer.
Before entering the house, the girl had a glance at her watch to determine whether she should ring the bell or not so as not to disturb the comfort of those who were sleeping.
And when he learned that the clock was at half-twelve in the evening, he chose to enter the code himself and not press the bell. The door finally opened and darkness immediately greeted him as soon as he entered the house. Slowly, Kiara closed the door behind her and was just about to turn around to walk towards her room, when the living room lights suddenly lit up.
The girl was surprised because in fact there were still people who woke up or rather, she was worried to her presence disturbing the sleep of the person. Kiara lifted her head and then fell silent as soon as she saw her parents were sitting on the living room sofa. Stared at. While his sister was right next to the switch, leaning against the wall while folding both hands in front of the chest.
What's the matter? Think Kiara. He felt that something was different from his family's gaze on him.
But the girl had no bad thoughts. He was so immersed in his own happiness that he did not even realize in his mother's hands was a packet of drugs that he hid deep in his drawer, among the heaps of his books.
“Eomma, I got—“
“Explain to us about this.” Cut his mother while lifting the package of drugs to the extent of his head.
Kiara fell silent. His eyes grew and his hair bristled. He stopped his intention to approach his parents and froze at the door. Now he knew the reason why all his family members were gathered this way to wait for him.
They already know.
“Aunt Ahn found it in your room drawer while she was cleaning the room. Explain to us what is this?!” exclaimed mother. There was anger and frustration in his voice. He even started crying.
Kiara fell silent. He wanted to talk, wanted to explain all the explanations he had trained for a long time if one day this secret was revealed. But no sound came out. It looks like mute.
“ka, the disease... Not back, is it?” this time it was Nino's voice that greeted her eardrum.
Once again, Kiara fell silent. His tongue felt so faint to move even a second. Unknowingly tears began to struggle in his eye peluk, making the girl's vision blurry. Then his legs lost their strength, making his knees limp and suddenly his body fell until his knees touched the floor.
“SILENT!!” Nino immediately ran after Kiara as soon as she saw the girl fall.
“I'm sorry...” that voice is like a whisper that no one else can hear except himself. However Kiara felt her energy was depleted just to say those two words.
“I'm sorry..I'm sorry..” there's a lot Kiara wants to say, but she can't explain everything. The words that come out are just apologies that don't mean much. But he couldn't say another word.
The mother then could only sigh and hug Kiara's body tightly. Kiara returned her mother's embrace equally tightly. The girl is now starting to feel scared—entah why.
“Exit your schedule tomorrow. We're going to the hospital.” His father finally spoke up.
Again Kiara did not dare to answer. Instead the girl sobbed louder and louder in her mother's arms.
There are a lot of things he is worried about right now. The fact that his family knew of his illness was one of them. He was also worried that others would find out. Daren, Marsha, Brian, and Vano. He still did not want them to know, but consciously Kiara knew that they would soon find out. But aside from his fear of spreading info about the return of the disease that has haunted him for years, he has one other big fear.
He was afraid that he would leave them all.

December was announced as the coldest month of the year in Korea. The snow is getting thicker and piles up on each side of the road while the temperature is getting lower with each passing day. But Vano Alexander still can not let the project he is living just stop. Today he and his team will head to the Gyeryongsan national park, a place that holds a myriad of natural charms. They should have gone to the top of the mountain today, but saw the weather that had not improved for the past few days, Vano canceled his plan to take pictures at the top of the mountain and chose to take it at the foot of the mountain which is no less rich in natural scenery.
He and his team plan to gather at their office in Seoul before leaving together for Daejeon. Vano was supposed to leave with Kiara to the office, but this time the man had to set off on his own.
Early in the morning, Vano gets a call from Kiara that the girl will not be able to come to Daejeon today because there is something that the girl has to do and she cannot cancel it. Initially, Vano continued to urge Kiara to postpone the need because she was sure, they would be troubled without the girl not only because of her personal affairs. But once Kiara once again convinced that she really could not, then Vano believed and was forced to accept the harsh reality that this time he had to work alone without Kiara around him.
The fact that Kiara began to have a big influence on Vano's new life felt after he was on the asphalt with his iron vehicle alone. The man is too used to Sooji beside him, babbling about this - or perhaps talking about their past, or talking about his plans and dreams. But this time, he was only accompanied by old songs from CDs that he had. Without comment and without refutation in each song— usually Kiara who always do it because the girl commented on almost anything she saw and heard. And suddenly a foreign feeling again seeped into Vano's heart.
He feels... empty?
