Chapter 19
3 Years Without Love, With HappinessThe trip heading to Yangdong in Gyeongju, Sojung hometown was filling with silent. Not an uncomfortable silent but a grace one. SinB just eyed and enjoying the environment along the way. She never visit or having a trip to somewhere far from her house. Except for State, on her wedding day
Sojung also did the same as SinB, she's smile to herself at the moment her village scenery was greeting her eyes. She open the window on her side to inhaling some fresh air that she miss the most
It has been long time she didn't pay a visit her hometown after her parents has passed away. Her visit this time was for good. Living in the big city is enough for her, there's nothing for her at Seoul anymore. Yuju has married, what else she's asking and waiting for. It's time for her to go back to where she's come from
Meanwhile Yuju who just quietly driving from Seoul to Gyeongju stir a bit on her seat. Her backache still didn't heal and sitting in car for about an hour didn't help it at all. SinB who notice she's moving in uncomfortable way decided to ask
"What's wrong?" SinB ask and concern clearly shown in her tone
"My back and waist are all in sore" Yuju frowning
"Sore? Why? Because sitting too long?" SinB ask as she's unconsciously put her palm on Yuju thigh
"Not really. I've having a backache since a few days ago. Due to sleeping on the couch I guess" Yuju said make SinB widening her eyes, Yuju forgot that her mother was at their back
"Sleeping on the couch? You slept on the couch Yuju?" Sojung ask make both of them taken aback
SinB biting her below lips, didn't know what to say. Meanwhile Yuju was scratching her nape in awkward way. How can she's forget about her mother. Maybe because of SinB hot palm that rest on her thigh
"Uhm, SinB ask me to sleep on couch mommy" Yuju words make SinB look at her immediately, Yuju just shrugged when SinB give her a stern questioning look
"You ask her SinB? Why?" Sojung chuckle a bit when she heard her daughter in law chasing her own daughter to slept on the couch
"Huh? Uhm, that. Uhm" SinB grinning and look at Yuju to ask for help but that woman just looking straight on the road. SinB know it just her excuse to escape from thus situation
"Nothing mommy, it just that this daughter of yours. She's winking at the hot girl that we bumped into in the mall about last week. So I think that couch is her place" SinB said and pinch Yuju thigh while gritting her teeth at the end of her words
"Owww, when did I wink-" Yuju stop from talking when SinB shot her a icy glare, she's swallow hard her saliva instead
"Yuju, Yuju. Why did you look at other girl? Did SinB didn't cute enough for you?" Sojung ask between her chuckle
"Mommy, it doesn't harm right? It can't be we just want to stay with just one girl right" Yuju said and laughing but SinB slap her thigh hardly make she's stop laughing and rubbing her sore thigh
"Did you see it mommy? Couch is indeed her place" SinB said then folding her arms before looking outside the window
She just lying about that winking thing just now but when Yuju said that words, she couldn't help but feel hurt. She know she didn't deserve to felt that but she just can't hold herself. She love Yuju but the fact about Yuju is not belong to her, it's really hurting
Sojung who didn't know about the real thing just smile while shaking her head before move back her gaze to the outside scenery that once again caught her attention. Maybe with her decision about leaving that mansion is the best for her daughter and daughter in law life. That's what she thought
Hearing nothing from SinB, Yuju take a glance on that girl. She know that girl who just finished her high school was sulking. She's cursing herself for saying that words awhile ago. Yuju try to hold SinB hand but that younger girl just push her hand away. She has make a mistake
After being about 2 hours or maybe more in their car, finally they've arrived at their destination. Sojung family house, that house still maintaining it classics and traditional structure. It even be more pretty after Yuju father make some renovate on that house
SinB was amaze with her surrounding. Who's not? If you're being surrounding by a fresh green of vegetables that make the scenery looks so grace and peace. SinB learn that vegetables and planting was a main source life at that village since she found many farm, and vegetables garden
They want greet by their maid that Sojung hired as a keeper of that house. After has done with everything, SinB decided to inhaling some fresh air at outside the house. Since her in law house was on the mountain, it give SinB a very clear view of the green land
With closing her eyes, she's spreading her arms widely. As if was welcoming the cold breeze that was hitting her. Her face was a bit lift up facing the sunlight. It's indeed such a great view for anyone who saw SinB that time, a smile slowly crawling on her pinkish lips
"Beautiful right?" SinB open her eyes in shock when she heard Yuju voice. She's sure enough that Yuju was not there with her awhile ago
"Yea. It feel good being here" SinB reply with small smile before resuming back her previous action
Yuju just smile softly. SinB seems like misunderstood with her praise awhile ago. She gave that beautiful word to SinB but that young girl thought it was for the scenery that greeting her view. Little did SinB know, Yuju has stood there for kinda long time already but she didn't make a voice since she's too mesmerized by SinB attractive action just now
"I'm sorry" SinB turn her head toward her wife when that woman said sorry
"For?"
"For what I'm said in car. It just slip out from my mouth. My bad mouth"
"It's ok, I'm the one who should say sorry because of my immature action. I shouldn't act that way, you're free to do anything you want" SinB said slowly, but only God know how hurt her heart is when she said that
"Let's do this. How about we forgive each other and enjoy our holiday here?" Yuju sounds cheerful like always
"Why not? It'll be just wasted if we didn't enjoy this right now"
"Great! Lets get inside the house first. It's getting cold here. I'll bring you to my grandmother vegetables farm and many interesting places that you should go when you're here"
"Ok, but wait. About your waist, did you want to eat any medicine?" SinB ask in concern
"Well, I would love if someone want to massage it for me"
"Oh ok, did you know someone who can massage at here? I'm sure there'll be someone who know it since this is village area and peo-" SinB rant got cut in when Yuju pull her hand and drag her to get inside the house
There's people said, a wife massage was the best massages ever in the world. So Yuju would like to try it. She's surely didn't regret it at all
Times walks really fast and it has been a week. They have to go home. But only just two of them. In a whole week, they're really filling their holiday with a great activities. None of it are bored. Maybe it was because they did it with each other, boredom didn't dare to join in along
After bidding a good bye with Sojung, instead of straightly going home, Yuju drive SinB to another place. SinB was frown when she saw Yuju brought her to an empty field. There's only one big tree that proudly stand in the middle on that field
"Let's go. I have something to show to you" SinB didn't say a word but just following that woman walks toward that big tree
"Where are we unnie?" SinB ask as she look around. There's no one there except both of them
"We're at magic tree" Yuju said while patting that big tree
"Magic tree? Where? This?"
"Yup. You wanna know why they call it magic tree?" SinB nodding "Well, it's because this tree didn't die like other tree. According to the legend people, this tree grown by it own since millions time ago. It's still strong after that long time. People use it leaves to make their wish. With the hope that it'll grant. They'll pluck that leaves then writing down their wish before put it in the hole in this tree body" Yuju show SinB the hole that located right in the middle of that tree
"It's has a hole on it?" SinB ask in disbelief
"That's why it's called a magic tree"
"Is it true? About that wish?" SinB ask only earn a shrugged by Yuju
"I used to ask for my grandfather to accept mommy before. And it's work"
"Wanna give a try?" SinB suggest
"Why not? Wait, let me take that leaves" since Yuju is tall, she just need to stretching her arm a bit to reach that leaves before handing it to SinB
"Pen?" SinB word make Yuju chuckle
"Ink will not be shown on this leaves. Take this wood, write it carefully" Yuju handing SinB a tiny branch that she take from the floor
"So, I just need to writing down my wish right?"
"Yup"
"Ok" seeing SinB starts writing on that leaves, Yuju following her action
'I wish SinB will find her happiness and will not feel even a bit of sadness anymore. Give me that chance to make she's happy. I'll not let that chance go' That's Yuju wish
'I wish for my happiness with Yuju. Please make this 3 years as the happiest years in her life' that's what SinB want
"Done" they said in unison before together put that leaves in the hole. With the hope that their will be grant, even though it just a myth, they still keeping a hope
