Chapter 3 : In the Right Time

The Last Promise

 


Chaerin


I didn't sleep all night and here i am sitting on a chair and looking at Dara who is still sleeping. I tried to remember what happened to me but like last night i can't remember a thing.  No matter how hard i try, my mind is not functioning anymore.  I sigh and close my eyes, i didn't felt sleepy at all nor tired and i still i don't know why


"You must be thinking what's happening to you huh?" i heard a voice, a man's voice then i turn my head to the right and there he is


"Yeah, how'd you know?" i asked him, i didn't freak out or screamed when i heard and saw him, it's like i've known him and saw him somehwere else


"Well a lot of things happened in your life but soon you will remember it all.." he answered


"Why not now?"


"There's a lot of things you need to do Chaerin and in the right time you will know everything that you need to know.."


"I need to do a lot of things? Like what?"


"Like make up for the wasted time. Make her feel happy and alive again even for just a short time.."


"I don't get you. Am  i leaving her again after i did those things?" he didn't answer my question, he just look at me and smiled a little


"And i don't know what i'll do. I don't even know where to start. I've been gone for 5 years and.. and.."


"There are people who are willing to help you, don't hesitate to ask them.."


"Who?" i asked then i heard a knock on Dara's door


"Hey Dara! I'm home! Are you awake?" i heard Bom's voice then i look at the guy but he's not there anymore


There are people willing to help you


I remembered him said that, i know Bom is mad at me for leaving Dara and make her wait for me but of all the people i know she's one of the person i can rely on


Okay, here goes nothing


I stood up and walk slowly towards the door, i took a deep breath then turn the knoba nd open the door, i saw Bom standing but her back is facing me


"Sorry to wake you up but i bought some break---" she stops talking when she turn around and saw me


"Chaerin?" she asked

 

 


Here we are sitting at the table, she gave me a cup of coffee and some bread but i'm not hungry and i don't have an appetite, i look at her and she's still staring at me, i can feel that she wants to ask me question and yelled at me but she's stopping herself from doing that


"Bom.." i said then i saw her sigh


"Where have you been Chaerin?" she asked me


"If only i know the answer to your question, i will tell you but honestly i don't remember a thing.." i answered


"You don't remember a thing? Do you think i will buy that! B*llsh*t Chaerin! You don't have any idea what Dara went through!" i decide to stay quiet and listen, i look at her and saw tears building up in her eyes


"Every night i heard her crying, praying and hoping that you come back. She thought i don't know but damn it Chaerin, she's working herself to death so when we come home she can sleep without crying.." she added


"I told her to forget you and move on but she always said to me that she can't because you promised her that you'll be back! Now here you are and i asked you where have you been then you will answered me with you don't know?!!"


"Whether you believe me or not but that's the truth. I cant remember a thing, i don't know what happened to me in the past 5 yeas that im gone! I think about it all night so when she wakes up i can tell her but i don't know a thing!!" I felt tears flowing from my eyes


"I don't know where to start nor what will i do to start over again with her.."


"Chaerin.."


"If only i have the answers, Bom.. If only i know.." I saw her reach my hand and squeeze it


"You are cold, drink your coffee first.." she said, i nod my head and took a sip from my coffee but i can't even feel it in my mouth


"You came back last night?" i nod my head at her


"What do you remember before you got here?"


"After i open my eyes, i saw myself standing in front of your door, all wet and muddy" i answered


"But it's not raining last night, Chaerin.."


"I know that's why i don't know what's happening to me.."


"Uhm okay, okay, relax. Maybe it's raining from where you came from.."


"Yeah maybe but i don't want to think about that. I need your help Bom.."


"My help? on what?" i look at her face then saw the man standing behind him


"You know what you need to do first, let me remind you that you only have limited time Chaerin..

 

 


1 hour later

 

I told Bom that we need to go to a place, we drove for an hour and so and arrived there


"What are we doing here?" she asked mer but i didn't answer her, i open the door of the car and went out


Nothing change a bit


"Chaerin?" i heard Bom called my name


"I want to show you something.." i answered, i started to walk and i know Bom is following me behind then i stop in front of a gate


"Who's living there? Your parents?" she asked again


"You will find a key under that rock, you can use the silver one to open this gate and the gold one to open the door.." i answered and ignored her question, she's giving me a weird look but she's following everything i said


"Here, i got it.." she said, i motion for her to open the gate and we both went in


"Come on Chaerin, if this is not yours then we need to get out of here.." Bom said to me


"Relax, no one will see us.." i answered, i point out the door and she use the golden key, she turn the know and went in first


"Wow!" she said, i follow her from behind and look around inside


"Who owns this house?" she asked me


"Me.." i answerd then she look at me


"So you stayed here for five years?"


"No, i didn't. I think i stayed somewhere else.."


"Oh okay, so what are we doing here?"


"You will bring Dara here. I bough this house for her, it's suppose to be my first anniversary gift to her.."


"Suppose to be? You're not planning to give this to her anymore?"


"She can have this Bom, you can find the deed to this house on that safety box over there but for now all i want you to do is to bring her here. I know what will i do next.."


"Okay but what will i tell her?"


"I don't know, just think of any and please call Youngbae and Seungri to help us out.."


"Okay Chaerin, so i will leave you here first.."


"Okay.." i answered, i watch her leave the house and went inside her car and drove off


"I told you will remember things that you need to know in time, maybe little by little but in the end, you will know everything.." i heard the man's voice


"Yeah, all i remember now is this house i bought. My first anniversary gift to her. I was suppose to be back before our anniversary but after that i didn't know what happened to me.."


"Like what i've said, in the right time, Chaerin.." i nod my head at him and sit on the couch


"So what will you do next.." he asked me


"You'll see but i need your help.."

 

 

 


I've been waiting for almost an hour when i heard a car stops in front of the gate, i smiled when i saw Dara went out of the car


"What are we doing here?" i heard her asked Bom


"I told you, you'll find out once we get inside. You two, get out of the car right now.." Bom answered her, i shook my head, they never change. I saw Seungri and Youngbae went out of the car from the backseat


"Tell me, how can you afford to buy a big house like that? I'm more richer than you!" Seungri said to her


"Oh shut up Seungri!" Youngbae butted in, i miss them a lot, i miss hanging out with them


"Where's Chaerin by the way? You said she'll meet us here.." i heard my Dara asked again


"Why don't you get inside, maybe she;s in there.." Bom answered, i saw Dara run towards inside then i look around the house


I hope she will like this


"Chaerin? Baby?" i heard Dara's voice, i turn around to face her and saw her looking at me


"It's about time you showed up.." i answered, i walk towards her and held her hand


"What are we doing in here? You own this house?" she asked me


"Yeah, you and me.."


"Huh?"


"I bought this house for you and me. Remember i told you that i want to buy a house first before we get married and here it is.."


"Chaerin.."


"I know how to keep my promise baby and i'm starting right now.." i let go of her hand and i know she saw what's standing behind my back


"Chaerin.." she said again


"I know i leave you and not be able to celebrate your birthday with you. Five years had passed but that won't stop me from celebrting your birthday again.." i held her hand and pull her gently. There's five cakes in every table, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26


"You need to blow all the candles on every cake then make a wish.." i said to her, she look at me with a teary eyes


"I don't need to wish anymore because you are here with me now, i'm contented with that.." she answered me, i felt a pinch in my heart but i stop myself from crying


"Woah!!" we heard a voice behind us and saw Bom, Seungri and Youngbae looking at us


"Nice move Chaerin.." Bom said to me and smiled


"Chaerin!!" Seungri said and run towards me, he was about to hug me when Dara push him because she knows Seungri likes to hug too tight


"Hey! I'm just happy to see her again!" Seungri said, Youngbae slap his head and went to Chaerin and hug him then he broke the hug


"Nice to see you again!" he said but i knonw he felt that i'm cold


"Nice to see you guys too.." i said


"So we are celebrting five birthday of Dara? Wow! Cool!" Seungri said as he look at every cake on the table


"You haven't blow your candles baby.." i said to Dara, she held my hand and we both went to the table, she bend down a little and blow every candle on the cake and we all clap our hands


"Yes! Now time to eat!" Seungri said, we laugh but still i feel sadness inside me, i saw Youngbae turn on the radio and ask Bom to dance with him same goes with Dara and Seungri


"Let me dance with Dara first, okay?" Seungri said to me, i nod my head and look at them


"You really made her happy Chaerin.."  i heard the voice again, i didn't bother to turn my head or look around


"Yeah and it makes me feel better but somewhat i have a feeling that i need to do more than this.." i answered


"Yes and i think you know what you will do next.." I nod my head when i saw Dara waving her hands at me


"Your girl is calling you, go and have a great time with her.."


'I will' i whispered, i walk towards her and held her hand, i place her hand on my shoulder then i place mine on her waist


"Thank you.." Dara said to me while looking straight to my eyes


"For what?" i asked her


"For this.. You don't need to do this, you know that.."


"I know but i want too.. I want to put a smile on your face, to make you laugh and i want you to feel how much i love you.. I came back Dara, i came back because of you.." i saw a single tear fell from her eyes


"That's why i'm thanking the one above for giving you back for  me and i hope you won't leave ma again.."


"No matter what happens, i am always here for you baby. Please remember that.." i hug her tight like not wanting to let go then i saw the man standing behind Dara's back looking at me


'Please give me more time please..' i whisper hoping Dara won't hear me


"If only i could do that Chaerin. I will help you but all i can do is to guide you and be there when you need me.." tears starts flowing from my eyes


"I Love You so much, Dara.." i said
