The Winter Man
#75 Hates the Ocean
Yura sat on the bed with her breath set, then Winter came out of the bathroom, he approached his wife stroking Yura's head and gave a kiss on the top of the girl's head.
"Yura why?" asked Winter when she realized Yura's face was pale.
Yura looked up. "Where is my Mom ..."
Winter knitted both of his brows inexplicably. "Mama?"
"Yes ..." Yura stood looking at Winter. "Where's my mama, Winter?"
"Yura, what do you mean?"
"My mom, I remember my mom wasn't Mommy Bayuni, she wasn't my Mama Winter, where my Mama, please answer .." her teary eyes ended up crying.
Winter immediately pulled Yura's body into her arms, Yura continued to rebel in tears as her question had not been answered by Winter.
"Please answer, where my Mama Winter is, tell me where, I've been this big where my mama is, why I don't remember anything about Mama's passing, did my mother marry another man and leave me ..."
Winter closed her eyes with a raging feeling in her heart. Yura remembers her past a bit and Winter is worried about it.
"Winter ..." cried out Yura sobbing.

Benjamin and Bayuni are at Winter's mansion after the man calls them and tells them about Yura who has little memory of her past.
Bayuni seemed to be unable to breathe properly hearing that. She sits waiting for Winter and Yura in the living room feeling uneasy, Bayuni clasping her husband's hand.
"How is this .. I don't want to lose Yura."
"We can't lose Yura, she has no one but us baby, calm down .." Benjamin said.
Bayuni clucked by continuing to play his feet restlessly staring at the roof of the stairs. Winter came down the steps embracing his wife who looked a little pale, puffy eyes and blank stare.
They sat in front of Bayuni and Benjamin.
"Yura ..." Bayuni immediately moved up and sat down beside Yura.
"Yura this is Mommy ..."
Slowly Yura turned her head towards Bayuni and shook her head with tears drenching her cheeks.
"No, you're not my mother ..."
Bayuni gaped with Yura's reply. His heart seemed to hurt with the girl's words.
"Yura ..." Bayuni clasped Yura's hand but then Yura brushed her off.
"Where's my Mama?" ogre.
"Mommy ... Mommy this is your Mama, Yura ..."
Once again, Yura shook her head. "Not ..."
"Honey calm down ..." Benjamin held his wife's shoulder. Bayuni immediately brushed it off.
"I'm not Yura. I'm Aletta ..."
That left Bayuni and Benjamin in complete shock. They think Yura only remembers her mother, but she also remembers herself.
"You are Yura son of Mommy Bayuni .. realize Yura ..." Bayuni scooped up the girl's face with a cry that grew increasingly.
"I'm Aletta Mommy Ayura's son." Yura brushed off Bayuni's hand from her face.
"Already, enough. We're talking very well" said Benjamin.
Benjamin pulled Bayuni to sit on the other sofa. Winter held his wife's hand.
Benjamin told Yura everything. About the beginning of Benjamin's meeting with Ayura which was once only limited to borrowing the woman's womb, he said, about Ayura who is finally reluctant to release her baby after giving birth and about those who brought Aletta home from the Hospital after losing her memory and changing the name of Aletta to Yura.
Yura cries in Winter's arms. I couldn't hear the real story of Benjamin.
"I'm still your Daddy Yura. Although Mommy Bayuni is not your biological mother .. Just like your sister Magma, you are brothers even though you are not Mommy Bayuni's child ..."
"Dad doesn't know why your mother brought you here from Italy. Do you remember the reason?"
Yura shook her head making Benjamin and Bayuni exhale. Bayuni also cried in comfort by Benjamin.
*
After Bayuni and Benjamin's return from the mansion, Yura just sat on the sofa with a blank look.
"Drink first ..." Winter gave Yura a glass of water.
Yura took it and drank it a little and gave it to Winter again. Winter keeps his glass on the table.
The man pulled his wife into his arms, tears welling up her face as she recalled Benjamin's words before returning home.
Until now, your mother's body has not been found. Maybe it was the sea waves. His body would no longer have been Yura.
Though Yura hopes there is a tomb of her mother so that Yura can let go of longing for her mother.
"I want to go to the beach" Yura said weakly.
Winter also nodded. They immediately went to the beach after Winter put on a thick jacket for his wife.
*
A gust of wind hit the girl's pretty face. Yura stared at the ocean blankly with Winter beside her.
"I understand now, why every time I go to the beach there is always a feeling of happiness, sadness and fear. It turns out that from my childhood living near the beach, Mama died from being picked up by the waves and I was always afraid of the big waves that took Mama away ..." Yura muttered then her cries again broke just like that.
Yura screamed hysterically. "SEA YOU CAN TAKE MY MOTHER ... BUT RETURN HIS BODY TO ME ... I WANT TO BURY IT PROPERLY."
"Yura ..." Winter immediately hugged his wife who was crying hysterically to make Winter teary.
"I want my mother buried properly Winter .. I hate the ocean .." said Yura.
