The Winter Man
#16
Lucia opened the door of the room. Winter was staring at a laptop to find out about the tsunami on the greenland coast.
Winter looks up and finds Lusi and Yura behind him. The man closed his laptop. Lusi bowed before returning out of the room and leaving Yura alone with Winter.
Winter looked at Yura who was still standing by the door then her gaze descended slowly onto Yura's injured knee.
Winter got up from her seat, walked up to the closet and picked up the p3k box there. Winter sat on the sofa and gestured with her hands asking Yura to also sit down.
Yura walked over and sat down next to Winter. Without further ado, Winter raised Yura's leg up on her thigh.
"Eh, what do you want?"
Winter did not reply, opening the p3k box and cleaning Yura's wounds before being given medicine.
"You don't wonder why my knee hurt like this?"
"Fall down."
Yura sighed. "At least ask the cake, you can."
After Winter finished, she lowered Yura's legs.
"Thank you" said Yura, who was answered with a nod from Winter.
Winter was about to get up from her seat but Yura held her hand.
"Waiting ..."
Winter looked at Yura's hand holding her arm.
"Eh sorry." Yura pulled back her hand and Winter sat back down.
Yura picked up her brown bag on the table and took the tupperware from inside there.
"I'm making sandwiches for you, but take it easy it's not as charred as tempeh."
Yura closed the tupperware. "Taaadaaa .. sandwich chef Ayura .." said Yura with a smile.
"This, you try ..." Yura gave it to Winter.
Winter took the sandwich and hesitantly put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, there was no expression of Winter, he kept eating the sandwich.
"How's it?" ask Yura who is impatient with the results of her cooking.
"Lumayan," said Winter briefly making the smile on Ayura's face expand instantly.
"Better than tempeh, right?"
Winter nodded.
Yura clenched her hands into the air while jogging. "Yessss succeeds .. succeed .. dududu ..."
Winter silently looked at Yura with the tail of her eyes then pulled the tip of her lips smilingly looking at Yura's manner.

While in the office, Yura just sat on the sofa watching Winter. Sometimes Yura watches videos on her phone to vent her boredom.
He does not get bored of what every day work.
Until it finally rained again, Yura who was sitting leaning on the sofa immediately pulled her body looking towards the window.
Yura just silently watched the rain water that soaked the window of the room. Yura doesn't even realize that Winter is walking towards her.
"Don't look at the window" said Winter, putting headphones in Yura's ears.
Their faces were very close, the two stared at each other for a few seconds, before Yura finally heard the soothing piano sound in her ears.
Their eyes stared at each other intensely. Winter's hand which was originally in Yura's ear was holding the headphones, slowly coming down stroking Yura's cheek.
DUARS
Lightning returned, making the two jump in shock and they turned their eyes to each other when they realized from earlier they were staring at each other.
"What is his lightning still sounding?" tanya Winter answered a nod from Yura.
"Just sit here" said Winter.
Winter also increased the volume of his headphones. The piano sounds louder in Yura's ears.
Winter walked shut the window curtain, he just wished that it would not rain this time too long. When he flipped, he only saw Yura looking down playing her fingers.
The man walked slowly then held onto Yura's shoulder. Yura looked up at him.
And at that time Winter could see, that Yura's face was pale and looked lethargic. He understood with Yura now, not getting rid of the sound of rain from Yura's ears, but it should make Yura's mind not to remember the tsunami incident as a child.
He brought the blanket to the sofa and covered Yura's body. Yura was just silent, but the girl was quite cheerful before it rained.
Winter sat beside Yura. "Come," he said pulling Yura's body into his arms.
The girl was in Winter's arms with a thick blanket wrapped around her body and headphones in her ears.
Yura closed her eyes, Winter occasionally stroked Yura's back.

When Yura woke up, she was already in a room that was not too spacious. He lifted his blanket and yawned.
"Where is this," he murmured.
He saw headphones on the bedside table. The headphones that Winter was wearing were on him. He also remembers Winter hugging him. That means her trauma didn't recur too severely.
Yura got off the bed opening the door and peeked for a while. He saw Winter talking to two men. Maybe his co-worker.
After the two men came out of the room, Yura came out of the room.
Winter looked at Yura. Yura walked up to Winter's table and sat down before the man.
"Nr ..." Yura scratched her head with a look down.
"Trauma I relapsed earlier, yes" said Yura who was answered by Deheman from Winter.
"A-I see, I slept in one bed with you this afternoon because my trauma had recurred too, right? and you hugged me to calm me down." Yura looked up at Winter.
Winter answered with a nod of the head.
"Eumm .. I'm sorry about that, I'm accusing you of doing weird things to me."
"I have to get out of town tonight. You better go home."
"Huh? k-to the city. Tonight?"
Winter nodded.
"Lusi will take you."
"Is Lusi coming too?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Oh." Yura sighed, lowered her head and rubbed her nose. I don't know why he doesn't like it if Lusi has to come.
"How long?" ask Yura.
"Three days."
Yura nodded. "So, then I'll go home."
Yura moved from her seat.
"Lusi is below."
"I can go home by myself" Yura said. He picked up the bag on the couch and walked out of Winter's room.

Yura decided to take the bus instead of a taxi. The girl was sitting at the stop waiting for the bus to come by playing her hanging legs.
Lusi had wanted to take Yura but Yura continued to refuse.
Yura's mood is not very good, the girl looks gloomy about hearing Winter is going out of town with her female Secretary.
When the bus stopped in front of him, Yura immediately went up and sat at the very back alone. He turned his eyes out the window.
Then the phone vibrates and an incoming message from Winter appears.
Why not with Lusi?
Yura replied.
I want to go home alone, take the bus.
And Winter doesn't reply anymore. Yura breathed a heavy sigh.
What kind of marriage is this ...
Arriving at the mansion, Yura directly climbed into her room with uninspired steps. He opened the door and put himself to bed staring at the ceiling of his room.
