106 Greatest Comfor

"We're here! We won't be seen by the patrols behind this tree unless you'll make a ruckus Violet" assured Karen as she placed the bags down while throwing an accusing glance at Violet.

"Wow, it really is hidden. I didn't even noticed this spot when we got here" Violet sat down and began taking out the drinks.

Compared to the usually bustling playground, with kids running around, building castles by the sand pit, giggling as they swing, kids who competes on who could lift the other continually in a seesaw, challenging themselves to trudgingly walk up on the slide after they slid down from it and kids jumping to reach the monkey bars during the day, turns into the steel jungle of the night. With it's quietness, stillness and the presence of its energetic vibe receeding as the kids go home at the end of the day.

In the far corner of the playground was a big old Zelkova Tree. The base of the tree had a wooden bench structured to surround it. A place where the tired kids could rest, where parent watched over their children, where mothers of the neighborhood would usually gossip, where a couple would be seen seated together, where some of the high school kids going home from school could rest, and where some professed their love.

There are a couple of trees like this around theplayground, but nothing beats the oldest that have witnessed decades of memories.

Behind that said tree sat two people, one was arranging the food on the bench and the other was laying out drinks while secretly drinking everytime the other wasn't looking.

After they were done, Violet lay down on the bench as she looked up into the night sky. Observing the stars and the brigth moon peeking through the gaps of the canopy of leaves swaying along the wind.

Violet tried not to think about it but in the end, what happened earlier became a memory that was like a movie, playing in her mind over and over again. Sometimes slow and sometimes fast. With each of it hurting her to the core. She wanted to be strong. To be that person who didn't lose in the relationship.

In the end all the walls she made in haste and in the last minute, came crubling down. Searing tears trailing her face. Her chest tightening up causing her to breathe rapidly and shallowly. Her throat constricting, making her swallow in difficulty. Something hurts inside of her. Her heart. The pain was very concentrated and slowly spreads onto her entire body.

As far as Violet can remember, this was the most vulnerable she had been.

Karen noticed it a while ago, she can comfort her but she didn't. Not because she doesn't care, it's because it was a time for Violet to feel her real emotions. She did her best to maintain her strong facade, now she can let go and be weak.

Just being there even if it's just sitting in silence is already the greatest comfort.
