Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 16: I am tired of being strong



The town had not too many public meeting places.

So it took quite a more time for Wen Mei to select their meeting place.

Finally she after much thinking booked a table.

The restaurant was not so hi-fi but it was a casual one.

Wen Mei was so excited for the meet that she reached half an hour earlier than the given time. But to her surprise Wang Yu Yan reached thereafter fifteen minutes.

Wang Yu Yan has had a simple dressing sense.

She was a conservative girl who wears simple clothes. She didn't have dresses in her wardrobe due to both her salary and her idea of wearing simple clothes.

For this meet she was wearing simple black jeans and a white cotton shirt paired it with white sneakers and her hair into a ponytail which made her look young and approachable.

When she reached the restaurant she glanced at her watch it was 6: 45 p.m. which was fifteen minutes earlier than decided time.

She entered the restaurant and was going to take out her phone to text Wen Mei when she heard a voice.

" Yan Yan" a female voice was heard.

She turned towards the direction only to see Wen Mei sitting on a table near the window and waving at her with her hand stretching up to its full length.

Being noticed Wen Mei walked towards Wang Yu Yan.

She was wearing a rust-red solid cinched waist top with a sky blue damaged jeans paired it with peach-colored heels her hair loose and with light makeup.

The outfit was looking classy yet casual. Wang Yu Yan was surprised to see Wen Mei so early.

" Yan Yan you came" said Wen Mei excitedly while taking Wang Yu Yan into a hug. Then they both went to their table and settled.

" Did I made you wait ?" asked Wang Yu Yan while she sat opposite to Wen Mei.

" No-No. Instead I was half an early as I was so excited," said Wen Mei.

After a short pause she continued " um Wang Yu Yan I wanted to treat you to a meal to pay my gratitude for what you have done for me. I know this isn't enough bu-" Wen Mei was cut off by Wang Yu Yan

" When Mei I did not help you because I wanted something from you. You consider me your friend, right ?"

" Yes I do. You are my most important friend bu-"

" Then assume that I did it because of our friendship, ok?" said Wang Yu Yan

" But I couldn't just sit here and do nothing," said Wen Mei.

" ok ok I want you to do me a favor, Will you do it ?" asked Wang Yu Yan

" Yes I will do anything until it's in my limits" said Wen Mei.

" Then tell your parents about your true dream " said Wang Yu Yan.

" Yan Yan" Wen Mei was ready to do anything for the sake of their friendship as she considered it of great importance to her.

But when Wang Yu Yan asked to talk to her parents regarding her dream she was taken aback. Her impression of Wang Yu Yan increased further.

She understood one thing that Wang Yu Yan was not a girl who needed money for her deeds. Wen Mei didn't even notice that her eyes were filled with tears.

Between her sobs she told Wang Yu Yan" Yan Yan I promise that in future if you face any problem I will help you at any costs"

Wang Yu Yan's heart softened when she heard these words.

She never in her dreams had thought of getting a so loving friend. She sighed in her heart and raised her hand to pat Wen Mei's head.

She said " Okay Okay I know you will be the first one to help me. Now stop crying otherwise people will think that I am bullying such a cute adorable girl ."

" I told you not to mess my hair" said Wen Mei while she wiped her tears away.

After which they placed their order and began chatting again. They talked of their favorite food, color, and all other things. After which their food arrived and they began eating.

"Yan Yan where are your parents ?" asked Wen Mei. Listening to this question Wang Yu Yan's chopsticks stopped in the air.

Wen Mei saw this and said, " UM it's ok you don't have to tell me if you don't want to ."

Wang Yu Yan put down her chopsticks and looked outside the window to avoid her expression seen by anyone. "It's ok you are my friend and as you told me your secrets I'll tell you mine ."

" Yan Yan" said Wen Mei with a guilty expression.

After a long sigh she started.

" My mother died due to cancer when I was eight.

My father could not see me alone so he decided to remarry. My stepmother was a divorce who already had a daughter from her previous marriage.

When I was eighteen my father passed away in a car accident I was charged as the one responsible for his accident so I was forced to leave my house under the pressure of my stepmother. So I am an orphan ."

"I am sorry Yan Yan" said Wen Mei while holding her hands.

" No it's not your fault," answered Wang Yu Yan.

After some moments of silence Wang Yu Yan said " Hey let's eat or the food will get cold ." with a smile on her back. Wen Mei also looked at her with a slight smile.

After which they continued eating and neither of them said a word.

After they finished eating and after not too much delay they both bid each other goodbye as Wen Mei had to return to the capital tomorrow.

Wang Yu Yan when returned to the hospital she enquired about Long Feng's health and then arrived back to the attic.

She was so tired that she didn't even bother to take a shower and just changed into comfortable clothes and laid down on the bed.

She took out a photo from under the pillow, it was the photo of her happy family, her grandfather and her parents were smiling completely unaware of the fatal blow their family would be receiving.

Her thoughts were occupied with the memories of her childhood and her parents.

After some time tears starting flowing out of her eyes yet she didn't wipe them.

' Yan Yan remember sometimes its okay to cry. You don't have to pretend strong.

Don't forget that you're a human. You can't be perfect. Crying doesn't symbolize weakness rather it is a sign that you are honest with you're self.

Cry when you are alone and wake up the next morning like it never happened. It's okay to fall but never okay to stay down '

Those were the words of her grandfather.

'Look grandpa I am honest with myself. I am tired of being strong. Why did you leave me alone? I am missing you, father and mother.

After seven years I have mentioned mom and dad in front of anyone. It brought back the memories. But I have got a friend and I will cherish this friendship .'

Wang Yu Yan let her tears flow. It's been a long time since she last cried and drifted off to sleep while crying.
