"Where you've been for the week several months ago? Why you did not come to see me?" Cecilia punched her chest while she crying.

Julia tries to hold her tears and stroked her hair, "I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry." Julia took a deep breath and exhale. She let go of her embrace and wiped her tears.

Julia blinked her eyes and abruptly wiped her tears. "I don't want to hurt you, Cecilia. I was a coward, who wasn't sure it will make it. So, I decide to stay away from you as far as I could, but your presence keeps coming. In my dream." Julia said.
