Even Winter Was Warmer Than You
Ashes in the silence
This is my first chat story
heroine mother was died in her childhood due to disease. And recently her father who force her to make money was dead now due to lung cancer.
her bestfriend name Meira
Meira
I heard about your dad… Elira, I’m so sorry.
Elira
It’s okay.
Or maybe… it’s not.
I don’t even know how I’m supposed to feel anymore.
Meira
You don’t have to “supposed to” anything. Just feel whatever you’re feeling.
Even if it’s nothing.
Or relief. Or anger.
Elira
That’s the worst part, Mei.
I thought I’d cry.
But I didn’t. Not even once.
I just sat there, staring at his hospital bed like it was some old furniture I forgot to throw out.
Meira
He wasn’t kind to you.
You don’t have to pretend he was.
Elira
Yeah.
He wanted me to make money. Not memories.
Sometimes I think he only kept me around for what I could become.
And now he’s dead. Just like Mom.
But at least she died loving me.
Meira
You were just a kid when she passed, right?
Elira
Seven.
She smelled like cinnamon and old books.
She used to hum to me when I had nightmares.
With her gone, the nightmares stayed.
With him gone... there’s just silence.
Meira
I wish I could hold that silence with you.
Even if I can’t fix it.
Elira
You being here is fixing it.
I just...
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now.
I don’t know who I am when I’m not surviving him.
Meira
Maybe it’s time you become something for yourself.
Not for him. Not for anyone.
Just Elira.
Elira
But what if I don’t know how?
Meira
Then I’ll help you learn.
We’ll start slow. One breath at a time.
Elira
...Thank you.
Really.
If I ever have a reason to keep going, you’re part of it.
Meira

Elira
No . I already working in a library so I continue it
Meira
