As I continued to hug Edwards, he began to slowly let go of the hug. His eyes were on mine as we both look each other at this moment.
His eyes are indeed very beautiful when viewed up close, that's why I always love everything about Edwards. He took a deep breath, then gently stroked my sweaty forehead.
"You know Choon-hee? What makes me like you? because you are a girl who doesn't like to interfere, you will work professionally. You said then, but why now? Now you say that you are miss me, are this really you? did they ask you to approach me?." Edwards asked, his face looking tired and there was a hint of disappointment from what he had just said.
I can only be silent, not long after I took out the cellphone that was in my pants pocket. I show one of the photos I took, a photo of my notebook. I really wanted to ask Edwards this, but maybe now would be a good time.
"How do you know the notebook?" he asked a little surprised.
"Because it's mine, every writing in there is mine. I should be the one asking you, why is it at your place? When did I give you the notebook?" I looked into Edwards' eyes, he looked instantly sad. His eyes were easy to read for me, sadness and joy seemed to alternate from his facial expression.
"You remember the little girl I told you about?" Edwards asked me, I tried to remember and I quite remember the story Edwards said when we first met.
"The little girl who gave the hairpin?" I asked back.
"Yes, she gave me this book. She gave me this book after ummm.. After we almost separated., she said I could return it when we met again." said Edwards hoarsely.
"But you said, your little girl just gave you the hairpin that you still keep to this day right?.", I really don't understand what Edwards is saying at this point.
I don't think there's a past deep enough to look back on. but I don't know what I have to do with the little girl Edwards said.
"She gave this before she really left my sight, she came back for a while. Before I left the police station, she said that the book meant a lot to her. Her life started from the sheet of paper she wrote. If that's really your book , why don't you remember me?" Edwards' question was the same as the Question I was thinking about right now.
"I don't know, I'm asking now because I think you know. If I don't remember giving you this book, am I really that girl? Is there something that makes me forget those days? If you ask me why, I really don't know why." I looked back at the photos in the gallery of my cellphone.
The question of why and how, kept haunting my mind. did something happen to me that made me forget about meeting Edwards long ago?
"I'm sure you're the little girl, if that's you. Then I deserve to repay the kindness you gave. I also deserve to give this book back to you, Choon-hee.. Thank you." Edwards held my hand, I was still wondering in my mind. could only look at his face in confusion.
Thank you? is it worth it? I just don't remember what I did.
"But, I don't remember anything." I said honestly, the things about this I don't want to lie. After all, whyI must lie about something that doesn't really matter to me?
"You don't remember me? but why do you remember this notebook is yours?" Edwards' question was again the question I was thinking about. I haven't answered yet, but he has said again "You are my little girl! Gosh I'm really happy to know this! Finally after a dozen years we meet again!!!" Edwards actually screamed a little, he was smiling so big.
"I don't know, maybe because I was too busy with work. It made me forget about my own past, and about the notebook. I clearly remember that it was mine, because it was given by my mother. But I also forgot where the book was lost, but it turns out that the book is with you.. Edwards, if I was that little girl, did I look very good when I met you first?" one question I asked, immediately made Edwards laugh softly.
His mood changes so fast.
"Of course, you were very kind at that time. Why do I always like to look up at the sky, it's because of you. I'm sure that little girl is you, it can't be someone else, right? How can anyone else have your notebook. Ahh... finally after a dozen years I met you. Choon-hee, now I know your name. My little girl." Edwards pinched my cheeks.
I actually feel a little weird about this, but because Edwards looks happy. I couldn't do nothing, but pretend to be happy, if this really brought me close to Edwards. then I'll use this advantage to get Edwards.
It doesn't matter if I don't remember my own childhood, but I do remember that it's my book. is more than enough for myself..
"I'm glad to hear that we've known each other for a long time, Edwards, thank you. You took good care of my book, thank you for remembering me, though I never remember you." I said in a low voice.
"Of course.. ahhh finally we meet again, I will repay all the kindness from you. I will also tell Mommy and Daddy that you are the savior. Let's tell Mommy and Daddy." Edwards looked really happy, I who saw the joy on his face couldn't help but smile.
He opened the door very hastily, then took my hand and we walked fairly quickly into the next room.
"Mom..Dad.. You know what I just found out? Very good truth, Choon-hee about the little girl who saved me!." Edwards said to his parents.
I couldn't help but chuckle because of what Edwards said, like a child who just got a toy.
"Really?? are you sure ?? Gosh, what a very good coincidence.. Mommy is happy to hear this, Thank you Choon-hee." Mrs Douglas' expression made me a little weird, she did Smile and hug me happily. but I felt something strange about that smile, especially when I saw the face of Mr. Douglas and also two siblings of Edwards .
They did Smile, but a sly smile or rather a smile that indicated their 'Plan is works'.
But is it like that? I was just silent, Mrs. Douglas released the hug from me and hugged Edwards too, Edwards was really happy. His happiness looks more natural than the others' happiness.
What is this actually? I feel suspicious...
