Short Story For You
the snow warmed
...I'm not leaving you Erika, it's just that I'm leaving for a second and will see you next winter....
..." Erika, I have to go " said a young man wearing a high school junior uniform....
His interlocutor lowered his head, it seemed like he did not want to be left behind by the man earlier "when did you come back ? " See Erika briefly.
The man's face was suddenly lethargic, he did not know until when he was in the country of people. His head is weak. Meanwhile, the girl was getting bowed even to the point of crouching on the ground. He used it to cover his crying face.
" Don't cry Erika, I'm definitely back. Wait for winter " said the man.
" You promised loudi ? " Ask Erika.
" Yes "answer sure.
***
" Hey Erika ! " Say that blonde girl.
" You surprised me Michel ! " Said Erika annoyed.
The woman called Michel chuckled, she sat down at the cafe table and sipped the white coffee she just ordered.
" Who was that day ? " Ask Michel.
Erika shook her head and drank her capuccino. He has no intention of answering.
" Let me guess, she must have been your first love at junior high school" Michel said with a laugh.
" Hey remember your age, do you feel the same as you did at 13 ?" Michel continues with his ruckus.
" It's none of your business, chel, I'll go home" said Erika who took her Tote bag and went out.
The sky was clear but there was no sun. The air was very cold, not even this cold this morning. Wait, what month is it now ? Ah Erika forgot, this is December. It just feels cool. It'll be snowing soon.
Erika sighed to her "winter how will you meet me ? " said Erika as she put away the hair child who tried to cover her face.
It's been 7 years since you left here. During that time Erika waited. He doesn't want any gifts from Santa, Erika just wants you to come back here, to him.
The girl sighed and walked back away from where she was daydreaming. His schedule is over, now Erika is free to do anything else.
But what he was going to was home.yes, he didn't want to go anywhere. The snow made him remember the loudi and it was very painful for him.
Cringe
The ringing of a phone belonging to someone elsewhere disturbs the figure of a young man who is busy typing in front of a computer. He loosened the tie that had been choking him. Breath with weight he took out as heavy as a pile of tasks and files that piled up into a mountain of responsibility.
" I promise Erika, this winter I'll be back" she said staring at a picture frame with her high school junior embracing.
***
" I'm going to your father's restaurant tomorrow" said Erika, waving her hand at her friend who walked away.
Erika glanced at her moccha watch. It's still midday, after all tomorrow he's on leave, he'll be free now.
" I want to go to that place" said Erika staring at the shining upright Surya.
That place ? Where does Erika mean ? Could it be the cafe down the street, or the new bridge is famous for its love padlock. But it looks like the romantic place is not the one that he went to. The proof is that the foot wrapped in white shoes stopped in front of a dusty swing.The child may have finished playing it.
The foot that just stopped, stepped back. Erika Stares at the swing opposite a striking blue color. Her lips formed a smile.
Finally Erika sat down and began to swing softly. Her memory took Erika 7 years ago, when her hair was still shoulder-length. He often comes here in his spare time. Play this and prank the little ones with louis. Again with him. They were always together as children and so far away now.
Erika just sent a letter at an unclear address. Even she doesn't know where you are now.
A cold wind blew flying his thin hair. Along with that the sun has also been leaning west.
" When are you back louis ?" Her muttering.
Then again the universe left it alone. Even 7 years did not take Erika anywhere, she remained at a dead end named Loudi. Yes the man who gave him the promise to come back. Is it true said Michel, men can only say sweet ? But no, louis is not that kind of man. Erika still had her hopes up, she was sure loudi would return.
***
" Let me go ! " Say the man with the work stellan.
" Business in other cities is growing. No matter what your reasons are, you can't go " said a middle-aged man who smoked his gun.
The man's hand was clasping tightly. His teeth clashed against each other in anger with the old man in front of him.
" I'll give you a choice, let me go or I'll pass your new product on to the company's rivals" the man said with a chilling smile.
The old man threw the cigarette he just inhaled in any direction. He's growling, it's smart that this kid is making a choice. He had no more threats for the young man to stay. With a heavy gust, the old man finally waved his hand telling him to leave.
The young man smiled triumphantly. " Thank you dad" he said.
***
December 25th, Christmas is coming. The flickering ornaments seen along the road look festive, as well as the display of red socks strung together on the left side of the building.
" Merry Christmas, mother" said Erika.
His mother smiled at him, stroking his daughter's hair. " You're an adult, I want to see your future husband "say the mother.
Erika just stared at the nanar with her lips pouched. " I also want to see the face of my future husband, ma'am" Erika replied.
Erika's hand clasped more tightly, "in a moment, ma'am, only when this winter is gone. If he doesn't come, then I'll give up waiting for him" Erika said
Right, this is the last chance for you. Please come .
***
1 Day after Christmas, her job returned to her without any more leave. As an employee of the education department, of course, there are many things he needs to do so that the salary for the next month is still received.
" Erika, please deliver this file to the chairman" said the woman who approached him.
Erika stopped her typing and turned to look at the person who told her earlier. " Well, I'll take it to Andy's sir, right ? " Ask Erika.
" No, not Andy but the new director opposite him. " Say her.
" Alright, you are. Surely your boyfriend has been waiting in the lobby" said Erika who was presented with the woman's boyfriend.
***
"Excuse me director" said Erika asking for admission.
" Yes ! " Say someone from a room that is still closed.
With her left hand not holding the file map, Erika opened a new recruited room.
But he could not see the director's body because of his chair that turned his back to Erika.
" Louis camel "that's the name on the board on his desk.
" Excuse me director Camel, this is a file from division A" Erika said.
" Yes, put it there ! " She said.
" Well, I'll excuse "the ethics permit twisting her body.
But as Erika walked a few steps. The warm touch she knew grabbed her body. It's comfortable but the director has no shame in doing this.
" Take me off ! " Said Erika who rebelled from the director's embrace.
Unfortunately, his efforts did not work. Erika had to attack at the point of *it* until finally the man complained of pain while holding something that might hurt in there.
" I really like your behavior. But it really hurts "he said
" You ? " Erika flinched with the man who had been hugging her. Louise ?
Loudi smiled bitterly, hers still hurt. And soon the hug happened again with Erika starting it.
" Stupid, don't cry " said Loudi who tightened her embrace.
" You're back loudi, finally..." Erika's sobbing in the loudi deck.
" Yes... Finally" louis smiled with relief.
***
After they are complacent make up for 7 years of longing. Erika and Loudi decided to relax on the completely snow-clad plains.
" Why did you change the name ?" Ask Erika
" My job is dangerous, I have to use a fake name to carry out my duties" Loudi said.
" Dangerous work ?" Repeated Erika.
" I'm part of the Tiger Gold organization, I'm sure you already know that organization" he said.
" No way, aren't they the mafia ?" Erika said in disbelief.
Loudi nodded, "that's why I haven't been able to see you all this time" Loudi said.
The man stood "and I could not linger in London. Huh, I came here to say goodbye to you" said Laudi who let out a deep breath.
Erika shook her head, she ran and grabbed the man who had just returned.
" No ! Don't go please !" Said Erika sobbing.
" Stay with me" he continued.
" Forget me Eri, it's too dangerous if the police know you're close to this Louis camel" Loui said.
Erika tightened her embrace, "no ! Let me get in. Organization" said Erika
Loudi rounded her eyes "no, it's dangerous !" Resist.
" What about you, then ?" Ask Erika.
" Have it, goodbye I have to go now" said Loudi who walked away.
" Don't leave me again, loudi !" Shouted Erika.
The girl's hands clenched. He was already steady to enter the vicious organization. Illegal trade and even Erika's murder are ready. He won't take the loudi off just like that.
