I came home and didn’t find my mother at home, I put down the things I bought and looked up at the time, it was 8:00 in the evening, I picked my phone to call her since I know she wouldn’t be in the building, her car was not in the garage when I drove in.
I called her and she picked me up. “Hello mom, you are not home.” I knew today was a weekend and she doesn’t go to work on weekends although I have only been with her for a week, plus I would love to see a movie with her this evening and have a wee chat with her.
“Yes son, something came up in the office. I will be back later in the evening.” She said from the other side of the line and I could hear the clicking of her keyboard.
“Okay,” I told her and was about to end the call when I heard her voice again and placed the phone back on my ear.
“Are you at home?”
“Yes.”
“Is Ivana there with you?” She asked me again and I looked around the living room before settling down on a chair.
“No,” I told her honestly. “I thought she was here already,” I responded, picking up the remote to tone it on the television.
“You did not come back with her?” I could feel my mother’s anger from the other side of the line and I wonder why she cares so much about that psychopath.
“She is perhaps still wandering,” I told her and for a while my mother paused.
“Robin…”
“She would find her way back when she gets tired of and she would find her way back when she is done,” I told her and I hope that girl never comes back either. “Bye for now mom,” I told my mother and ended the call before my mother would tell me to go search for her.
I tossed my phone to the chair, who cares about that girl’s way about.
I walked upstairs to my room and took out the picture I took with my mother before going to the United States. My mother’s face was sad in this picture although she tried to smile for my sake. It was so obvious that she wasn’t happy unlike my mother now.
I was so little then and I miss my old home in the villa even if I only had bad memories of it. I had only looked after my mother, not made friends and isolated myself from everyone around, but the only person I miss at that villa was that little girl.
I wish I could get to see her again. I paused in my thoughts and shook my head. “Wish, wish…” I muttered to myself and sat up on my bed as I remembered what that Psychopath had told me.
“Legend has it that if you go close to the namsan tower and make a wish your wish would come true instantly.”
I scoffed again and put the picture down as I lay back on my bed, who would believe such nonsense, that was a legend and I was not a fan of fantasy or those things.
I tossed and turn on my bed as my head keep bugging to believe in it, I sat back up on the bed, could I truly see that little girl again, she could be an adult now and I may not recognize her, plus the last place I saw her was at the villa and there were tones of people her in the City and I could see any female at that place.
I wanted to push these feelings and thoughts away but the urge to give the wishing tower a try seems to be greater and I wish to see that girl again, she was the only girl I have complimented and the only girl I found pretty.
I picked up my coat, grabbed hold of my car keys and made my way out of the mansion.
I pulled up at the parking lot, the place was filled with people and the night air seemed chill as I stepped out of my car. Although that might not be true a lot of people have tried it and it worked for them, I should probably try it and if it doesn’t work I will forever call that a stupid fallacy.
I came close to the tower, of a truth, it was tall and awesome and a lot of people were here and I could see some of them making a wish and they were mostly couples, I scoffed, it was not like I believe this or anything, I just wanted to have a reason to call that lady a liar and a crazy idiot.
I looked at the tower one more time and closed my eyes. “I wish to see that little girl from 15 years ago again,” I said softly and opened my eyes again.
“Hey, Robin!” I heard a female voice call out my name and I looked forward immediately and for a while, I couldn’t move.
