Who are you?

June

As I stepped down the stairs, I couldn't find the white cat that I would spot most of the time when I leave. It was snowing and it troubled me thinking that if cat was okey. When the accident happened ten years ago, it was like this day. When I see the snow It feels little sad inside me as the cold winds hits my cheeks and I come back to sense. The way to bus stop is little far as the street becomes slippery and difficult to walk and I skip the regular way directly by long stairs and go round the hill.

There are many people walking as well. Their hands full of bags and childrens with their gifts. The coffee shop on the right side down the hill is open as well. I used to come a lot at this very shop and watch the view and people, enjoying the hot coffee alone and sometimes with Lisa when we would have a sleepover. Once, I even celebrated my birthday here with friends but It was just a little celebration when they forced me to cut the cake. As I was remembering the memories and smiling to myself just a little, I see a hand waving towards me.

It was Charles Evan, our class mate in college who is one year younger than Lisa and me. He is tall, cute type with many girl fans, having curly short and green dyed hair which covered his forehead with hazel green eyes as he became fan of Joker after watching the movie. That's what I heard when Lisa was joking with him once. I waved my hand back at him and saw his lips syncing, "Merry Christmas" through the glass. He pointed his finger at me to look at something. "ding" my phone rang. I saw the text from him that read, "Are you on the way to Lisa? She asked me to come but my mom and dad went to Grandpa's home and I had to look after the shop. I already called her but please do tell her not to be angry" . "why would he always use heart emoji at every text he sends me", I thought to myself. "sure", I replied and walked forward without realizing that I forgot to wish him back.

The bus were full of people. Everyone were talking to their other once and I was the only one who felt left out. "stop thinking, today is the special day and I've got to be happy" ,I said to myself shaking my head. I couldn't find any seats so I just had to stand gripping one of the seat near me.I noticed some of the boys around me were looking at me and smiling. It was little noisy and after about twenty minutes my destination arrived. After walking little longer, I saw library and realized that Aunt Mary seemed very busy with her works and many people were inside. I walked again as she lived just opposite of library across the road. I had a work in library as well for the research to do my assignment but seeing her busy I planned for next time.

They decorated theirs home preety nicely and I pressed the door bell [ Ting Ting ]. The door opened after a while and suddenly Lisa gave me a quick hug and wished me Merry Christmas. I was surprised as so many of her family members were present. Thomas greeted me with his train on his hand, probably his chrismas present with a very happy face. Pony, golden retriever dog, was swinging her tail at everyone inside the house with her little face as she passed through me and saw me. She was jumping and licking me after noticing as I have known her since she was around three weeks old. "June come here", Lisa shouted form kitchen.

I followed her voice smiling at everyone on the way. Some of them were chatting, childrens were playing game in the TV. Aunt Mary's husband, Michel was busy shouting at childrens to do and not to do different things. I went to kitchen and pulled a bottle of water from refrigerator and drank it. Lisa gave me cake to eat she made herself and asked, "You okey?". I was shocked as she asked me that, "yes ofcourse " I answered. "Aunt Mary seemed very busy", I said. "She should be here by now", she shouted as she was searching for something in the kitchen cabinet. It was getting dark and Lisa left to get her sister Mary asking me to wait and eat whatever I wanted. I took my phone out of pocket and saw a text from Charles saying "You seemed zoned out, I have a gift for you. Meet me in the bench front of coffee shop later. I'll be waiting ". "heart again" ,I mumbled. After sometime I saw both aunt Mary and Lisa returned and everyone sat on tables to have dinner. Michael was in peace this time. Everyone enjoyed and had an amazing night. Lisa gave me Airpods as a gift and I gave her CHANEL perfume I brought for her.

After long talk, I waved everyone goodbye and Lisa was insisting me to stay but I had a work to do. Aunt Mary asked me to wait and gave me a book I asked her named "Old god" or something. I thanked her and Lisa dropped me to the bus station. There were still a lot of peoples around 8 pm. I got off the bus and walked my way to home .

It was snowing and I saw a glimpse of the white cat that I was searching that noon running towards the remote street. I followed the cat then I saw a long white cloth from distance but when I went near it, It was a hair of a man who seemed completely out of this world. Same person I would see in my dreams every single night as long as I could remember, covered in snow and sitting at the corner of the building in the street with a cat on his arm wrapped around. He had a pale white skin shining and at the same time reflecting the moon light. He had a pair of silver eyes emitting the light as if it was flashing time to time. His face was so perfect that I had never seen such a handsome man. As he said, "JUNO" in his deep voice that made my heart beat so fast that my whole body was about to explode. without realizing "who are you ?", my voice followed him.
