The Winter Man

The Winter Man
#89 Childhood friend


Yura and Lusi walk in the corridor of their office about to go to the cafeteria while Winter is busy with her work.


"I'm sorry, I used to think badly of you, Lusi ..."


Lusi. "It's okay, Miss." Answer with flat.


Yura once felt jealous of Lusi who was close to Winter. Though naturally, Lusi is her husband's secretary.


They sat in the cafeteria and ordered food. Waiting for the food to come, they talked.


"So you remember why you could stay here, miss?" ask Lusi.


Yura nodded. "Yes, I really didn't think that the reason I came here as a child was to look for Summer. But fate played me too much, I parted ways with my real mother here and ended up being cared for by Daddy and Mommy ..."


They did not know that Summer was sitting behind Yura's desk. Summer smiled bitterly hearing that then moved from her seat.

Summer sat on the dock, leaving her face in the morning breeze. Yura's words rang in her head. Yes, it is true Yura said. Destiny toyed him.


On the other hand, Summer had promised herself that she would not take Yura again from Winter.


Summer let out a long sigh then someone sat down beside Summer and gave her a canned drink.


Summer picked it up without looking at the person who gave the drink.


"Stop following me!" pekik Summer while opening the canned drink in her hand. Summer just thought it must be Julian because of who else often follows her other than Julian.


"M-sorry .. I'm just passing by."


Summer who was drinking turned her head and widened her eyes when she saw Intan beside her.


"You ..."


"I don't intend to follow you" Intan said slowly.


"No, I was wrong. I thought you were Julian." Summer took her drink again.


"Your secretary?"


Summer nodded.


"What are you doing here?" ask Summer.


"Just rest after delivering flowers" Intan said.


"If you deliver flowers to the customer's house, tell your driver to come down as well. Not waiting in the car."


"Yes, he came down too. He was waiting in the car."


Summer nodded.


The atmosphere was silent for a few minutes. They were busy with their drinks while looking at the ocean in front of them.


Until finally Intan melts back the atmosphere by discussing the time of their Kindergarten. He wanted to know, Summer remembered it or not.


"You ... Where the hell?" ask Yura.


"Dark," said Summer. "You?" Summer looked at Intan.


"I'm there too" Intan said with a smile.


"Oh yeah?" summer's eyebrows shot up.


Intan nodded.


"Oh, maybe we're different years."


"Sama," Intan said. "I'm the same age as you ..."


"Huh?" Summer frowned in disbelief because Intan's face looked more like Yura's age than her.


Intan nodded. "We're one tk, one class."


Then Intan spoke slowly. "You ... who ran from the bathroom don't wear pants right" said Intan holding a twitch on his lips so as not to laugh.


Summer swallowed her hard-earned saliva in embarrassment. Now she believes that Intan is one class with her because no one knows the story but her family.


"I remember Winter was after you. You took all your pencils and you took Nala's pencils." Intan tells with a smile while Summer still gawking unexpectedly that the woman next to her Tk friend when she was a child.
