On that day. Strong winds accompanied by the sound of thunder and heavy rain. As if I'm being watched by someone. I took one step closer to the edge. I close my eyes. The first thing I had in mind was regret. Her face showed up along with our memories for the past 13 years. Is this what people call "flashback" before death? Her warm smile,Her voice. Her pretty face.Oh, I miss everything about her. Don't worry, Aysel; we'll meet soon. You'd never have to be alone there.
But suddenly someone held my hand. She's saying something. But I no longer care about this world. My eyes became blurred. I slowly closed my eyes.
I thought this was the end. Its dark. Did I die? No. I am not. I open my eyes just to find out i was alive. I observe my surroundings. Indeed I was in the hospital. But how did I end up here?
*Door open*
"Miss Estelle? I'm Doctor Fred."
"...."
"From your expression, I assume you're probably wondering why you're here. Am I right?"
"..."
"What was the last thing you remember?"
"....."
"It's fine if you don't remember or you don't want to. I'm just doing some checks to be sure you're fine. Yep, there you go."
"Who.."
"Pardon? Did you say something?"
"Who brought me here?"
"Oh, about that. I barely remember her name, but I remember that she's wearing a school uniform and is around your age. 17? Maybe it's someone you know. She will be back after school ends, so just be patient. If you need anything, let me know. Then excuse me."
*Door close*
"..."
I barely talk to anyone in my school except Aysel. So who?. Why did she save me? How did she know I was going to do it? I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
After the school year ends,
*Door open*
"You're awake."
"..."
"Why? Did you get upset because I saved you?"
"..."
"Listen. Even if you're dead, she will never come back. It's already happened. It's been 3 months, Estelle."
"Watch your mouth, Lara. Don't talk as if you know what I've been through for the past 3 months. If you dare to talk to me again, I swear i'll rip that mouth of yours."
"I-...."
"Get out. Don't show your face in front of me again."
"...."
*Door close*
Lara. She's my classmate, or, to be exact, our class monitor. I never paid attention to her before. Aysel was friendly. Almost all of the students know her. She was the one who introduced me to Lara. But I never expected Lara to be the one who saved me.
In the middle of the night, I'm still awake. I can't sleep because of what I did today. I'm wondering why I'm still here. It's so peaceful. How long has it been since I watched the moon? A long time ago, I used to watch the moon with her. Same moon, different time.
The next morning.
Since my injuries are not that serious, Doctor Fred says I'm allowed to go home. Finally. But I don't want to come back to that place. home, but don't feel like one. So I'm wandering from place to place. My comfort place.But someone is already there.
"I'll keep my promise,Aysel. I'll watch after her. So rest well."
"Lara? What do you mean by that?"
"Estelle?"
She fell silent. Not a single word.
"..."
"I'm sorry for saying those mean things to you yesterday."
"..."
"I'm really sorry."
"You're done?"
"..."
"I want to ask you something."
"...."
"How did you know I was going to do that thing? No. How did you know I was there?"
"I know you'll ask about this. Before I tell you that, follow me."
"Where?"
"To eat. You're starving, right?"
"No thanks, I don't-" *stomach growling*
"Just shut up and follow me."
