Her Saviour

Chapter 42: Rin’s dream of Snow. Or is she looking at the past?

Rin was exhausted. As she regained consciousness, she heard the laughter of a familiar voice. She opened her eyes as fast as she could to confirm if the person who was laughing was the one who she was thinking it is. She turned her head towards the sound of the laughter. She could not believe what she saw as it confirmed it. It was her mother, she was laughing while holding a little girl in her arms.

Rin thought, “Who is she?”

Then she heard her mother say, “I love you Rin.”

Rin was shocked. That little girl was her. She did not remember this. It was probably due to the fact that she was very young.

Then she heard someone else say, “You are adorable. You cute little human. I could watch you all day long.”

Rin turned to look at the owner of the voice. She could not believe it. She saw a beautiful man probably in his twenties with magnificent cream-white wings. He was looking at the young Rin on her mother’s lap. He was smiling.

Looking at him made Rin feel calm and all her insecurities were just washed away.  

Then suddenly, the scene changed. Rin was playing outside. She remembered that day.

She watched as her younger self fall down. She had scraped her knees. She was about to cry and go tell her mother about the wound. Suddenly, that same man with wings was near her. Rin watched as he chanted a spell kind of thing and then her wound disappeared.

He spoke, "As long as I am here, you will never be in pain, my dear."

Again, the scene changed. It was during her mother’s funeral. She watched herself crying. That man was beside her the whole time. He kept his hands on her head and attempted to calm her.

Then came a series of times where she watched as the man stayed beside her through everything until after her mother’s death.

Rin had no idea. She had no idea that someone was always with her this whole time. He was always protecting her and always loved her. Just then she heard a voice. Rin could make out that it was his voice.

“I have to go now, dear. I do not know if I will get to see you again but know that I will always love you. No matter where you are and no matter where I am. I will always remember you. Take care of yourself. No matter how many times I say it, it does not feel enough. So, I love you.”

Just then, Rin woke up. She was clutching her chest and gasping for air. She touched her face and she could feel her tears falling down her cheeks. She does not know if this man exists. It could have been just a dream. However, she felt an ache in her heart. She was aching for a man who may or may not exist. The last thing she had heard before she had woken up was, "So, I love you."

She did know the reason but she could feel his love from that. She did not know if it was even possible but at the moment all she wanted to do was cry. Then she sobbed unaware of the person who was beside her.
