Snowflake: Frozen Child

"Hello Damian" Angela greeted Damian casually as she walked towards the glass. She placed her palm above the glass and studied Jhay's sleeping face.

"What did you do to her?" Damian hissed as he refrained himself from attacking Angela.

"Wrong question, son" Angela said and smiled at Damian as if everything was fine.

"What did she do to herself?" Angela stated. Damian didn't know where to start. He didn't know how he should react.

"This is what she wanted to do" Angela said with a dramatic face.

"Tell me everything you know and I'll keep it a secret against the police." Damian said as if he was exchanging an important business with Angela.

"Jhay was hurt badly. She could not forget about everything you did to her. Believe me, she did it for her own sake. She only asked me for help." Angela said, eyes filled with sorrow and regret. Panting, Damian stared at Jhay's peaceful sleeping face.

"I had no idea that she was here for all those times. The night when you left to join the army, Jhay became invisible. She became untraceable, even John could no longer track her whereabouts. I kept searching for her and received a letter." Angela began and hugged herself. Damian stared at Angela as if he would not want Angela to stop speaking.

"We were not aloud to use computers or any communication devices during the outbreak. I had no idea how to reach her. One night, when we were still living at Pherein's house, there was a letter on my table." Angela said as she looked at Damian in the eyes.

"I don't know who send that letter, it was just there when I entered my room. I opened it and read what's written on it" Angela said.

"Was it Jhay who wrote the letter?" Damian asked curiously. Angela nodded affirmatively.

"Yes"

"Continue" Damian said and breathed heavily.

"Here" Angela picked up a folded paper from her wallet and handed it to Damian. Damian opened the old looking and crumpled paper and read it.

Damian,

I know I should have stopped you from leaving. I was too afraid to ask for you to stay with us, with me. I have always been praying for your safety. But still, you chose to walk away. It was so painful that you left. I know I've hurt you for not noticing your efforts because of Haji. I've always wanted to say, I've always wished that you'd never leave me like what Haji did to me. I thought you would stay by my side. I treasure you so much.

Now that you're gone. I had no reason to fight anymore. I wanted to say that night that I would wait for your return. But I was afraid. I was never too good in waiting. I did love you more than a friend. But forgive me too, hearts could never lie. I still love Haji until now. Maybe a person cannot have two hearts, but still a heart could love two persons. But a heart needs to choose in order for it to not to be broken into two. This letter I wrote was meant for you. But I am afraid you would not be able to have a chance to read it. Ms. Angela will keep this letter for you.

And if ever you'll come back, you'll know where to find me.

I'm right here in the place where Haji used to be happy.

Love,

Jhay
