Separated Time.
Oxtail SOP

The sky rumbles during the day as the morning birds storm the bright sun from the east. The leaves are green in every inch of soil and neatly arranged in a small garden with a simple house. A sudden strong wind blew past the wet clothes arranged in the backyard of the house. A long Sunday and morning routine begins with drying clothes. Her mother Hyerin always spent a long Sunday for the family. The aroma of cooking suddenly stirred the appetite from the direction of the kitchen, resuscitating Hyerin who was asleep in her sleep.

Hyerin tried to open her eyes which were very heavy, repeatedly she woke up but finally slept again. But when the scent of oxtail soup from the kitchen slid into his nose, Hyerin woke up. She still remembered the scent of her mother's cooking even though it had been so long since but for Hyerin nothing had changed.

His eyes peered towards the window. When he realized Hyerin who kept looking from inside the room, his mother immediately smiled happily. But not long his mother looks like panic and hastily walked into the house. From the direction of Hyerin's room, her mother must have forgotten that she was cooking. Hyerin again rested her head on the pillow.

"Can't you tell mom that you're cooking?" Shouted his mother who was only replied to a smile by Hyerin.

Hyerin heard the kitchen utensils like plates being laid out. He took a breath and prepared to get up from the bed.

"My favorite cook, huh?" Hyerin asked cheerfully as she peeked out from the door.

His mother did not reply immediately, she smiled again and immediately hid her face from Hyerin. "Let's eat it all ready." Said his mother while arranging the dishes to the dining table.

Hyerin smiled again without saying anything. She actually knew that her mother was trying to hide the tears that had flooded her cheeks. Hyerin knew that her mother must have been deeply moved by her change in attitude, and wished that she could live as happily as she is now. But again the thought was disturbing. Because of the memories in the past that tell about his death again.

Hyerin stared at the glass in the bathroom. Should he return in death and leave his mother in grief again? Hyerin could not throw away the sadness that was instantly tight in her chest back then. What does destiny really want? Why should he be stuck in his memories and life now? Though it was better that he lived a normal life and did not know everything, than that he had to bear a burden like this because of the memories in the past.

"Yerin, are you okay?" There was a sound that dispelled Hyerin's attention.

Hyerin quickly lit a water faucet and washed her face. "She's finished!" Hyerin answered from within.

When he opened the door Hyerin immediately saw a scene that he missed so much. His mother who sat on the dining table chair and smiled knots, this time she will eat together again with her mother. Hyerin slowly walked towards a chair that was already available. On the table was served the food he missed so much. It must all be made with full of sincere feelings and love from his mother. Hyerin could not bear it anymore she wanted to cry because her heart was touched by her mother's affection. But that can't be, right? Hyerin must not look sad so that her mother is not sad.

"This is the best cooking!" Praise Hyerin with a smile.

"Mom eat fast!" Pinta Hyerin when she saw her mother still had not taken rice and food.

His mother simply nodded and immediately picked up the rice.

"It feels like it's been a long time, Yerin can finally eat special dishes made by Mother." Hyerin bluntly.

And his words made his mother again have to hide her crying that spontaneously fell.

Hyerin fell silent, she peered towards her mother who was also silent and lowered her head. She knew her mother might cry.

"Yerin's going to take a break this week and not go to school." Hyerin.

"He rested at home, and I will accompany Jerin ko." Answer me softly.

Hyerin smiled again, actually she wanted to go to the hospital in the city maybe Mother's approval could ease her plan. Start with this plan.

"After eating Yerin want to visit the river opposite the school?" Ask Mother.

Hyerin immediately remembered that in her childhood she very often played in the river, herself, Mother and Father. Does her mother want her to remember Dad again?

"Come on, a lot has changed." Hyerin replied immediately.

Her mother was a little astonished because Hyerin no longer refused. His heart was a little touched because it was his mother's intention to return to the memory of Hyerin's father and Hyerin's childhood.

"Eat well but don't invite Yora." Yora said in amazement while sitting next to Hyerin.

Her mother was used to seeing the sights of Yora and Hyerin at home.

"Eat ya Yora!" Take Hyerin's mother.

"Yerim! Rei's in!" The second shout sounded and made the chatter between Yora and Hyerin cut off.

Apparently Rei.

"Eat well!" Yora said while showing her food in a dish.

Rei immediately approached and directly picked up the remaining dishes.

"I ate Mom!" Say Yora without further ado.

Because it is very familiar scenery like this is common and has always been a favorite sight of his mother.

"Today not?" Ask Hyerin who is still eating her food.

"Where?" Ask Yora who is still chewing her food.

"The river is across the school." Hyerin's words immediately made Yora choke.

Yora took a drink to relieve the choking food in her throat.

"Seriously Jerin?" Rei asked in disbelief.

"We've been used to going there since childhood, it feels like this time I started to miss the river with the atmosphere." Obviously Hyerin.

Hyerin's mother who was sitting next to her was speechless not saying anything, actually the idea was her will.

"More. We're eating yah." Chirps Yora.

"In your mind you just eat!" Rei Protests.

"Syirik aja, there is a Aunt mumpung our holidays all holidays. Must've been fun!" Yora Typal.

"Mom prepare first all that will be brought yah." Said Hyerin's mother while tidying the dishes and carrying them on the washing.

Hyerin smiled to herself looking at Yora and Rei and also the warmth she had longed for. Surely Mom's plan is going well and fun, she hopes nothing will interfere.

Hyerin caught up with her mother tidying up the dishes, in her mind there were a lot of plans to think about. His eyes were turned straight towards his mother. But the vision obtained made Hyerin sculpt and his eyes rounded.

Again at an inopportune time he got the vision. All the atmosphere was transparent and other spirits started to look increasingly clear popping up before his eyes.
