The Winter Man

The Winter Man
#43


As Winter goes to the office, Yura gets bored at the mansion and asks her driver to drive her to Bella's house.


Winter told the girl not to go out but between drivers from now on.


Yura was in Bella's room, sleeping on the back of her best friend who was playing a game.


"Nr ..."


"Hmm?"


"If ..." Yura hung up her sentence looking at the ceiling of Bella's room.


"If what?" ask Bella.


"When I die how?" yura's chirps make Bella stop playing games for a moment.


"What are you talking about?" Bella turned her head then resumed playing games on her phone.


"Yes, I just asked. What if I die? you want to find a new best friend?"


"Of course," said Bella.


Because they often joke, things like this are not taken seriously by Bella. And again Bella does not know that her best friend is sick.


Yura breathed out. "So Winter must be looking for another woman, then ..."


"It can be."


"Oh Bel, I'm serious. You actually listened to me?"


"I'm listening to you, Ayura ..." Bella moved to sit down, causing Yura's head to slump into the bed.


"Why did you suddenly ask something like that? like the one who's just gonna die."


"I said 'if I die' Bella ..."


"You're healthy, not sick. So don't talk weird, I'm not going to find a new best friend, I'd rather this stupid best friend of mine ..." Bella tapped Yura's forehead with her index finger.


"Huh you're a bitch!" Yura wakes up and sits opposite Bella.


"If you say you're not looking for a new best friend, Winter isn't necessarily looking for a new wife. Aye right?"


Bella clucked, kept her phone and looked at Yura. "You why the hell? it's weird .. wear think Winter find a new wife everything. You know the previous Antraxs leader didn't?"


Yura shook her head.


"Jeez Yura .. His name is Xander Valaric, he's Winter's great-grandfather."


"Oh yeah? you know where you're from?"


"Read the article dong, your in-laws will be famous from the past as mafia. Only your husband isn't in the article."


Yura only knows her in-laws are mafia. But never read the history, who were the leaders before, who founded the mafia group. Because Yura was not interested in such things.


"You know, you're a businessman." Yura defending.


"Yes .. yes ..."


"What does Winter's great-grandfather have to do now?" yura asked curiously.


"Xander Valaric didn't marry his whole life because he lived dead loved ones ..."


Yura widened her eyes. "really?"


Bella nodded seriously. "It's so bad ..."


"Yes, what a terrible love. Till death."


"That means ..." Bella scooped both of Yura's cheeks. "This beautiful friend of mine, if she dies, Winter will marry again."


"That's it!" Yura brushed off Bella's hand not accepting. While Bella laughed.


"Yes Winter is not Xander Valaric, not necessarily his love to death to you Yura .." said Bella while laughing to make Yura bend her face.


*


Yura walked on the sidewalk alone, contemplating Bella's words that managed to fill her head.


"Yes too ... Winter would be young, handsome and rich, who wouldn't want to be like him if I died ..."


Yura exhaled and then looked up. "God ..why am I getting sick anyway." he whined.


A car stopped beside Yura. Yura turned her head, researching the car that she seemed to know. When someone comes out.


"Nrank ..."


"Why are you standing here, see what?" Summer looked up at the sky because she was curious about what Yura had seen earlier.


"The sky knows. Oh yeah, where are you from?"


"I just got back from Italy."


Yura nodded.


"You ... to the beach?" ask Summer.


Silent for a few seconds, about the beach he remembered someone who sent him a message yesterday.


There is no Winter. I can go to the beach with Summer.


"Come ..." Yura nodded making Summer smile.


The car drove towards the beach with Summer occasionally turning towards Yura beside her.


"You ... have you been to Italy?" ask Summer suddenly.


Yura turned her head and shook her head.


"Where's the country you've been to?"


"Nr ..." Yura seemed to think. "Singapore, malaysia, korea, japan, thailand .. lots of hehe."


"Well, a lot. Just walking?" ask Summer.


Yura nodded. "Dad and Mom love to travel."


"But why not go to Italy?"


Yura shook her head. "No idea, Daddy said I could visit any country except Italy. I didn't ask why, because I didn't intend to go there either."


Silent. Summer is curious why Benjamin forbids Yura from going to Italy from the many countries she visits.


"If you've been anywhere?" ask Yura later.


Summer turned, smiling sideways. "I'm just like you, I've visited a lot. But Italy is my favorite."


"Why?" yura asked curiously.


"There's my favorite girl there."


The car stopped at the beach. They were still chatting without getting out of the car.


"Your favorite girl? you got Summer's boyfriend?"


"More precisely .. little friend."


"Little friend, then what is he now?" Yura is still curious about Summer's life in Italy.


"You don't tell anyone, this is my secret. I'm just sharing it with you, Yura ..."


"You take it easy, be safe!" Yura did a mouth-locking gesture making Summer chuckle softly.


Then the man turned his face into the ocean. Looking at the waves while remembering his childhood.


"When I was ten, I went to my great-grandfather's mansion. His intention was only to clean up the mansion that had been left behind for a long time, but when we were sightseeing the beach, I met him there. He gave free fish to my family. You know what's funny?" Summer turned towards Yura.


"What?" ask Yura.


Summer looked back at the ocean.


"My family had twenty-six people on the beach, and he came and gave us one fish to cook. Just imagine one fish for twenty-six people." Summer laughed remembering that, Yura also laughed.


Summer stopped laughing as she recalled her last day with Letta. "Then I came back here after making a promise to him that I was going to school and work in Italy. But when I come back ..."


Summer took a long breath. "He wasn't there, I don't know where he went. .. Until now I haven't found him, Yura ..."


Feeling sorry for Yura stroking Summer's shoulder calmed down. "Prophey ..."


Summer looked at Yura's hand on her shoulder and her eyeballs turned to look at Yura's iris.


"But I feel I've rediscovered it now ..."


"really? where's your little friend?"


In front of me. I'm sure you're Letta ...
