Edwards and I had finished dinner, this time he took me to the Rooftop. the wind hit my exposed skin, I don't know why Edwards would want to take me up here and feel the cold night wind.
We sat in a small gazebo, looking straight at the city and the twinkling lights. As I hugged myself, I felt Edwards hand over the coat he was wearing and slung over my shoulder. I pondered for a moment, but quickly realized when Edwards smiled at me.
"Thank you." I told him.
"no big deal." we stay silent for a while, I'm quite warm right now. because the suit that Edwards is wearing seems to have a material that can warm my body from this rooftop temperature.
"Why do you love looking at scenery so much? The two times I met you, twice I saw you pensively staring up at the sky." I said honestly, I didn't want to interfere. But instead of feeling a strange silence, I'd better open a conversation with him.
"When I was kid, I once met a beautiful girl. At that time I was kidnapped by a crazy man, The beautiful girl accidentally found me and took me out of an empty warehouse, Where the crazy man kept me. I thought the little girl was going to take me to the police station, but instead she took me to a very high hill and could see the surrounding scenery. At that time I seemed to see the sky very close, The stars were above my head. Since that day I always liked to look up at the sky whenever I could. " said Edwards, I who heard that could only smile.
Edwards was kidnapped? And the funny thing is he was saved by a little girl.
"Then you can still go home safely?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, after I accompanied the little girl to look at the sky. She escorted me to the front of the police station. We walked very far then, about two hours. But I didn't feel tired at all, because the girl always told me a lot of things. She said that every afternoon she would go to the hills before accompanying her mother to work." I who heard this could only be silent, Thinking about how Edwards' story was in the past.
I don't know why Edwards wants to tell the past that might bring bad experiences for him, kidnapping cases are not trivial, right? Wasn't he traumatized? Why can he tell stories so well?
"You're still friends with her..?" I really can't respond well to this conversation, because I feel this has entered the personal realm. I can only ask short questions.
"No, since she took me to the police station. That's when we separated, I didn't find her anymore. When every evening I went to the hill and waited for her, she didn't come. I also forgot to ask her name, but I always remember her face and her hair. That's what closed the bad memories during the kidnapped. If it wasn't for that little girl, maybe I would never be found and never survive. I also might never see the beautiful sky again, I owe her a lot of things. But I can't repay her kindness until this day." Edwards looked up at the sky once more, a small smile etched in his seeds.
I could see that smile for a while, but pretended to look different because I didn't want to intrude on his privacy.
"That girl is very kind, from your story it seems that it has left a lot of meaning, huh." I said a little pretentious.. even though I don't understand what's going on right now, I've never sat down with a man and talked about the past.
I'm used to sleeping on the bed and making love without discussing anything, I prefer a cuddling rather than a chat. Yes, but I also can't do anything right now, I'm being paid to accompany hin. So I have to enjoy this and try to become a professional Choon-hee.
"sHe is so kind, I always remember her sweet smile which is so beautiful.. sHe is cheerful, talkative, likes to smile and is so sincere.. sHe doesn't even ask what my name is, why am I being kidnapped, where is my house? Where do I come from. really helpful without wanting to interfere, her attitude is very different from the other women I've met so far." Edwards glanced at me, he seemed very happy to talk about the little girl.
"Didn't you say she was a little girl, I guess every little kid really doesn't want to know about other people's business. I mean maybe she doesn't even know that you're being kidnapped, she just knows you're playing hide and seek or something." I said speculating a bit, I was only saying things that made sense. I didn't mean to argue with Edwards.
"About that, I actually told her that I was kidnapped and I thanked her for releasing me, but her response was very surprising. she said 'that God destined us to meet, don't thank me. But thank God'." Edwards looked at me once again, I who heard his words felt a little strange. Why do these words sound familiar in my brain and heart?
have i ever heard this saying? Of course, these are just ordinary words that people might often say to their close friends.
But.. There was a different taste when I heard it from Edwards mouth earlier.
"That's why I said she was different, she really helped me selflessly. If only I had known jer name at that time, maybe finding jer wouldn't be that hard." Edwards said again, but this time he pulled something out of his pocket.
a glass case and inside was a Barbie hair clip, it looked worn and dilapidated.
"This is her hairpin, when I asked if we can meet again? she said yes, we will meet again.. Then she took off her hairpin and said that she will take this hairpin again when we meet, but until today. She It hasn't come back and I can't return it yet." When discussing the last words, Edwards looked sad. Does that girl really mean anything?
they just met by chance, right, but there seems to be something on Edwards' heart about the little girl.
"You've been trying to find her, from the many women in this world. I'm sure she has become a beautiful girl, her heart must still be good.. maybe only God's destiny might bring you and her together, as she said.. because God you met that day, and maybe because of God too you can meet someday.." I unconsciously said the word God, even though so far I have never said it at all.
