" Why did you choose this hotel ?" Asked Shellina.
They were standing in front of a big traditional Japanese hotel called Tokyo Palace . The whole staff behind Shellina stood silent .Although there is no tradition of celebrating Christmas in old buddha tradition but for the sake of the festival it was decorated with some red coloured light balls and a Christmas tree at the entrance.
"This was the only hotel left for bookings in the whole region, others were all full of reservation.You know festival season ." Sighed Mr Kim.
"Well I guess you are very well aware that I hate these kind of mountainous place "
" But all the employees said that they wanted to go to a hill station full of snow this Christmas."
"Why didn't you asked me about this ?" shouted Shellina ,that even the hotel staff were afraid by her thunder .
"But you only said that take wherever they want and don't ask me "
Shellina rolled her eyes over the innocent faces of the office staff and then sighed in anger .
"GET IN " she shouted and without wasting a minute they were all inside .It looked like till then the whole staff was at a pause button but now are in fast forward track.
The dinner table was set and the drinks were kept at each corner of the rectangular table with Shellina being at the middle of it and
Soo Hyun grabbed a place facing Shellina .With all the continuing laugh Soo Hyun noticed Shellina being out of space .
"Actually she looked dull from the starting " Soo Hyun sipped some wine while gazing at her " do she really hate didn't like this place ?" He again sipped the wine from his glass.
"But what's wrong ,it's such a nice place ,what could have upset her "And just as he was about to sip the wine Shellina interrupted with her as usual sarcastic tone " Are you gonna drink the glass too ?".
Soo Hyun suddenly looked at the glass it was already empty .Just as he lifted his head up to give an excuse Shellina had already gone .He quickly finished his meal and got out of the room.When he had checked the whole hotel and was already tired he found Shellina in the backyard standing .Her arms were criss crossed around her chest and her face lifted up with her eyes shining a bright shade of red staring at the half moon sky. She was silent which Soo Hyun found weird for a personality like her . Just as he was about to make a move forward secretary Kim grabbed him by his hand and nodded a no .
"Don't go" he said .
He went inside his room and shut the door closed as if knowing that nobody would come to the joint room as everyone was busy partying .
"Is she seriously the way she seems to be ".Soo Hyun let his tired body lie down on the bed floor ,while his hands crossed behind his head making him a slight handmade pillow .
"Or she just pretends to be "he whispered to himself. Though his eyes seemed too tired to open but his mind portrayed a complex nature of human physiology. Although he wanted to sleep but his mind didn't let him take a nap even for a moment . Around two at night ,the war between his body and mind ended, it looked like his tired body took the lead and he went into deep space of unconsciousness.
I am standing in the middle of the forest covered with all snow .I'm directionless.Every way seemed to be the same .I looked above at the sky which seemed to be clear white . Suddenly the crust under me started shaking .
"Wohhhh "Shouted Soo Hyun as he woke up from his wired dream.He rubbed his eyes and saw Henry standing beside him.
"What are you doing here ?" he asked while taking a grasp over his breath.
"I guess I was the one drunk last night but you seem way more drunk than me ...and guess what, without even drinking ...you do have a great talent "Henry gave a laugh and then continued "Get up we all are going skiing ,are you coming or not ".
He sat down for a moment and then replied " you go I'll come in a few moments ".
Every seemed to be enjoying their fun game with the snow. Apparently they had decided to ski but their falling feet made them change the game to ice ball playing .With John being extra excited took some snow,made a ball out of it and threw it aiming at Henry ,which came out to be a very bad choice. Henry being once a basketball player dodged the ball and the snow heap crashed straight into the well maintained face of Ms Kang ,who now seemed to be offended and was looking for the revenge everywhere. Soo Hyun too was enjoying this great site of entertainment with a laughing mouth while Shellina stood silent under the shade of a tree ."She might not want anyone to throw ice on her ",that is what Soo Hyun assumed and continued his laughing .The game ended much earlier than expected and they went inside the hotel for lunch .Every showed their gratitude for the delicious traditional Japanese food while Henry and John continued facing back the office staff.On asking the matter he didn't reply when one of the colleague turned John's chair around and the whole staff broke out into a huge rhythm of laughter.His whole face was swollen with the side of his lips bleeding .He looked like a beaten pineapple with hairs disfigured.On asking who did it he looked an eye to Ms Kang who was sitting on the other side with criss crossed hands and a face of satisfaction of revenge. Everything seemed to be nice when hotel manager came and requested " The environment outside seems to be unstable ,there is a huge storm outside so we request you to stay inside ."
" Yah it's okk " Ms Kang replied with a smile when she noticed that Shellina wasn't there .
" Have anyone seen our CEO " she asked .
When no one seemed to know the answer Soo Hyun shouted " I saw coming , when we very playing with snow but I don't know after that " while one of the hotel staff said that he had seen a women moving to the dark side of the forest .
Shellina where are you ?
