The Wedding Maze
WM-45|MEET ONCE AGAIN|

...Happy reading......

...•...

His meeting with Amora today meant nothing to Snow, compared to the next meeting that was waiting at home.

Yes, during the return trip, Winter sent a message that she was at Snow's parents' house. Actually Snow's heart wanted to prance happily, but reality slapped him so hard that he almost cried out in frustration in the taxi that was taking him home.

Arriving, there, in the home of his parents, Winter was sitting opposite the father, playing chess with a serious face on their respective features. And it was the scenery and the first thing that made Snow's heart turn warm.

If it had been like this for a long time, wouldn't it be so much fun?

Winter wearing casual clothes caught Snow's attention. Did that guy come in on purpose after coming home from the office?

“Ah, Snow came.” strangled the papa, surprised Snow who accidentally daydreamed, and attracted Winter to turn his head and bring their views together.

“Remember, you must behave as you should, Snow. Run your role well!” snow told himself. He remembers making a serious drama with Winter in front of his parents. To that end, he walked carefreely towards Winter, ruining Winter's black mane that wasn't given Pomade gel today.

Why not use Pomade? Didn't he go to the office today?

Snow continued to speak inwardly, guessing the Winter feature in front of him that seemed to be playing his role as well. “So you've come back from out of town? Why not call me when I get home?” snow said, gesturing for Winter to answer the dialogue of the drama properly and correctly.

“A-ah, yes. I want to surprise you.”

Scott smiled at them. At least, they are happy despite having a loveless marriage. That's what Scott had in mind for both presences before him.

“Again, where have you been, Snow?” scott asked while running a chess boy in the shape of a horse to form the letter L and capture the queen.

“Oh?” suffocating Winter to the surprise of her queen already taken by Scott, she missteps, and Scott laughs in satisfaction at seeing Winter's genius expression turn innocent.

“You will lose, if not concentrate, son Winter.”

For some reason, hearing Scott call and call her that, Winter felt so loved. During this time, she was too busy and ignored her own two parents until Winter had never heard her own father call her that.

“Ah, papa defeated me.” whining when he found all the power fortress of his own was not left.

“Breaklah. We play chess again, another time.”

Winter and Snow looked at Scott meaninglessly. Still can? Is there still time?

But, among the turmoil that has sprung up, Winter smiled warmly and gently to Snow's father. “Sure, I'll beat papa. So papa must get ready to accept defeat from Winter who came back with a more mature strategy.” Winter's successful joke makes the old man's laughter explode. Then give a swipe at one of the arms before the man leaves leaving himself and Snow in silence.

Winter looked down, smiling bitterly at having made an empty promise in front of a nice guy like Scott.

“I won't be able to keep that promise.” Winter muttered wistfully in a bitter smile that splattered her lips. “Send my apology to him because I can't come, later after we part.”

Snow stared regretfully. All this time, he just wanted to see Winter happy, but now the face looks gloomy and loses the aura that used to always amaze Snow to figure Winter.

“Ah, by the way, where are you from Snow? Meet someone?” winter asked, trying to neutralize the discomfort when Snow came alone. The image of Snow meeting a man makes Winter's heart unsettled.

“I met someone.”

Winter nodded. It was dark, and Scott also asked Winter to spend the night here to save time and effort. Anyway, tomorrow is a holiday. Scott thought there was no harm in his son-in-law staying here overnight who must have been missing Snow after returning from a long trip. That's what Scott had in mind because of a lie Snow had, about Winter leaving town the other day.

“Who?” ask Winter to know.

“Do I have to answer that question honestly?”

Winter knows it's too pushy. “Ah, well forget it. I want to rest and tell you something.” he said, then pass Snow just like that and go into the house, which Snow guessed, Winter will sleep one room with him.

Snow follows Winter's steps into the house. Then go into his private room that Winter had visited a few days ago. Snow locked the door, then glanced at the figure of Winter who began to sit in front of his bed.

“We are not doing well, please remember that and keep boundaries with me. I don't want us—”

Not yet had time to breathe a sigh of relief and happiness after hearing Amora say if Winter loved her, now Snow was like struck by lightning in broad daylight. Winter's words made him fully aware that there was an invisible boundary separating them, then forcing them to take their respective positions and portions.

Snow nodded. “Yes. Thank you.”

Winter is standing now, he's headed for the bag he was carrying. Snow's bead won't escape Winter's presence until he catches something Winter has brought. A velvet black box she had seen, the black box Winter had brought as they stood at the wedding altar. Winter then thrust the thing at him.

“This.” Winter said without looking into Snow's eyes. “There's my ring in there.”

Snow's heart throbbed pain. He grabbed the box with Winter's hand, his pupils already shaking with the tears.

“You're free, now.”

Snow lowered his head, letting the tears fall in succession with a small laugh that sounded so bitter.

“I no longer have rights over you. And it's up to you, if you feel uncomfortable, you can sell or throw the box along with the contents. Because I don't want to save it either.”

Both of Snow's shoulders trembled with tears. Her tears are spilling. Not want to keep their memories? Ah, it's stupid that Snow had hoped Winter would come back in his life.

Where does Winter 'he said' love her?

“Mari friends. I hope you are happy after this.”

Powerless, Snow approached and hugged Winter's waist. Crying on the chest of the field she longed for so much, and she hoped this would be a happy memory at the end of their story.

Winter who had frozen, now with a hesitant gesture returned the embrace of Snow, the woman he loved so much at this time. He rubbed the woman's back and placed his chin on the top of Snow's head. “Do not cry. You deserve to be happy without me, Snow.” said Winter softly, then switch to rubbing Snow's strawberry-scented soft mane that he likes and misses. “You deserve happiness, and I'm not the one who can give it to you.”

Winter's voice stopped when Snow suddenly took off a hug, then tiptoed and held a kiss on her lips. Winter glanced at Snow's face wet with tears, then ventured into cupping one of Snow's cheeks with the palm of his hand, then he also closed with tears that he also did not realize had fallen. Reply to Snow's kiss gently and lovingly. It was much different than the kiss he had given. This time, Winter is fully aware that her happiness lies with Snow, and all hopes of happiness will soon disappear with their meeting at the green table the next time.

Winter scooped Snow's lips as if there was no tomorrow. He wanted to express the feelings he felt through the kiss. But he was more surprised when Snow pulled him back until they both fell on the bed

Winter knows this is wrong. And it will be more complicated if a life is present in Snow.

But the selfishness of the two men seemed to dismiss everything, until they returned to doing things they should not have done. Maybe, they don't realize, if what they're doing tonight, will bring them back into the same hole.

Unknowingly, they might create a new life which of course becomes a consideration for both of them later. The new life is the form of a little angel who will make their days back in color.

So what decisions will they make afterwards? []
