Chapter 8

Let Go

“What did you say to him?” asked Shinae.

Breathed in deeply, Solbi replied ”I told him the truth. The baby is not yours and your parents have misjudged you. But I remembered you telling me not to reveal anything to anyone which I already slipped my tongue. I quickly pretended that I was in hurry and made a move and I also can see the total shockness in his eyes.”

“Shinae…” she paused.

“Hmmm,” Shinae answered and waited for Solbi to continue.

“Don’t you think it’s time to reconcile again? Ok! Maybe not with your parents, at least with Heechul. I know you miss him very much. Every year, you will buy a cake and presents on his birthday.” “That cupboard of yours is full with his gifts,” pointing to a room where the gifts was kept. “It’s not his fault that you have to punish him like this. You know, his eyes expression, when he looked at me asking for your whereabouts was just like a lost boy.” Solbi rested her hands on her face, beneath her eyes, “It hurts me so much that I can’t help him. Can you stop being stubborn!? It will bring you to no where,” pleaded Solbi.

Shinae remained silent.

“Alright then! Whatever I want to say has been said. I’m going home now,” pissed Solbi. “But do think over what I have said!”

Soon after Solbi left, Shinae went into the room where the gifts she bought for Heechul was kept. Her fingers then brushed against every single item that was neatly placed on the cupboard rack. Tears streamed on her cheeks.

“Chulie ah! Chulie,” she sobbed.

“Is it time to let go?” Shinae asked herself. Her hands then moved to her heart. She was in pain. She may look strong on the outside, but she was mentally hurt. How her own parents couldn’t believe her. Why wasn’t she given a chance to explain? “Not fair!!!” she yelled and cried and slides down against the cupboard to the floor.

“Umma?” Soo Jung called. She was awakened by Shinae’s voice and went in search for her in the room where her voice could be heard. “Umma, why are crying?” she leveled her eyes with Shinae and wiped the streaming tears.

Shinae hugged her daughter tightly and kissed her.
