Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms
Julia Came


Day turns night, time spins as if the wheel of life never stops.


I'm still here, in the VVIP ward under the name Cherry Blossom. I call it the black valley. Why did I give him the name black valley?


Because there is a state of suffering in it. Figuratively, "valley" describes the low or lowest place on a journey, while "black" represents darkness, sadness, or despair


If the two meanings I combine then there is a broader context, referring to the period of one's life in which case it is Me and Edgar.


I must be strong and fully assist Edgar in his recovery. Especially in his unpredictable paralysis, whether it will be temporary or permanent. Wishing


there will be hope and light in the future.


My stomach is hungry and I haven't bought any snacks, bottled drinks to put in the mini bar just in case any of Edgar's guests come.


I live my husband who is sleeping because of the influence of drugs. I followed the path of the hallway that began to deserted visitors. There is a mini market inside the hospital so we do not need to be far from the hospital area.


Not much I bought, just a couple of big plastic bags. After shopping, I walked to the cafeteria in the middle.


I am full of my stomach. Then I went home, back to the room.


Arriving in front of the room, I heard someone crying, as well as Edgar's voice. My heart was pounding, afraid that Edgar would still have a relationship with his ex-girlfriend.


So I decided to put my groceries in the waiting chair and eavesdrop on their conversation.


But, it's not clear. More sobs are heard.


"Edgar. Is Zoya treating you well?" ask Julia


Edgar didn't answer, I forgot he couldn't make a sound. Her vocal cords are still hurting. So I can only guess what Edgar said by finding out what Julia answered


"I'm upset with you, you don't know what it's like to be decided. It's not fair to me," Julia continued to say as she hiccupped.


I think he's sincere with Edgar. Why no more talk. What they do.... I was curious and opened the door immediately


I Shock saw a familiar sight. The memory was recorded again. I saw Edgar and kissed for the next time.


But Edgar immediately raised his hand and said in the lowest voice.


"Darling don't get me wrong, he kissed me" Edgar said in self-defense.


I believe it, too, because Edgar can't dodge it. His neck had been plugged in a buffer and he could not move freely. Then my eyes were on Julia.


"Zoya, I'm sorry. I promise it's the last kiss" Julia said as if begging to forgive her actions.


"It's not easy for Zoya, it's suddenly decided by circumstances when we still love each other.... Is that right, baby?" said Julia


and I looked directly at Edgar, is it true that he still has a feeling for Julia. Ahh stupidly I didn't think that way so why did I ask. Maybe Edgar still loves Julia a little.


I'm sure it's not easy for him either, but most importantly, he has chosen me.


"I understand how you feel. But the problem is that I am among you. I hope you don't see Edgar anymore" I said


"Hm. Excuse me," Julia was disappointed, she's gone but I intercepted her departure.


"Julia." call me.


"Yes..what's wrong?" asked Julia to stop her steps


"Have you photographed me with Poky and spread the word to Edgar?" ask me curious


"No, I don't know who Poky is. I just uploaded an old video of me with Edgar," I'm Julia's calm.


"Have you also broken my car?" ask me


"Jeez, which car of yours I don't know. And again I love Edgar, I can't hurt him even if he let me down,"


"Hmm thank you for your confession, if you lie then see for yourself the consequences," I threatened and he was not afraid. It looks like it opened itself.


After Julia left, Edgar called me. I was upset and pretended not to listen. Honestly, I was angry to see Julia kiss him, even though Julia was the one who started it.


I put the groceries I bought into the mini bar.


I saw Edgar calling me in trouble


Praaaanng


I was surprised and looked.


A plate containing pieces of fruit fell and the fruit scattered, fortunately the plate was made of melamine.


That's the direct way Edgar took me to get close to him. He knew I was pretending not to listen, and I think he knew I was jealous


Edgar told me to come closer.


Well now I've been right around him.


"You jealous? I'm not the one who started... What I love most now is you. My feelings for Julia were this small, "Edgar made a small 5 cm comparison between his thumb and forefinger


"And my love for you is like this" Edgar widened his hands, I smiled a little


"No, it's not that big, I think it's more than that" said Edgar, grabbing my hand and kissing the back of my hand.


Feeling tickled by his mustache. But I'm happy with his confession, hopefully proportionate to his treatment.


Before long, two cops came and saw me and Edgar. This is what I'm looking forward to, the police will be talking about important matters related to the investigation they found at the scene.
