Shefali's Past

Dong Hyun and Sara were sitting on the stairs, and on the other side, Jeong Hoon and Shefali were still playing football.

Dong Hyun shook Sara's shoulder, "hey will you not tell me about Shefali's past?

Sara said looking at Shefali, "when she was six years old, her mom and dad got divorced and she started living alone with her father"

"Oh, it's so bad"

"Yes, and even worse, when her father died due to an accident"

Dong Hyun was shocked, "What?!! it's painful"

"Yeh, this was the time when she had given up on life and from that day onwards she did not talk to my mom"

"Why was there a problem between the two of them?"

"My dad and Shefali's dad were childhood friends when we return from Korea we were shifted to their house when a month passed and there was no message from my dad, then uncle decided to go to Korea for my dad but Shefali did not agree with her father's decision and she talked to my mom that" she did not want her dad to leave" but my mom said that "it is necessary to go" my mom did not listen to her"

"And how did the accident happen? Dong Hyun asked"

"Uncle was waiting for the bus standing on the other side of the road and we are standing in the opposite direction, Shefali was crying badly, uncle was watching his daughter when an unbalanced truck came and hit him he died in front of us, Sara told"

"Oh, that's too bad"

"Yeh, and what's worse than uncle had an accident so badly that his face wasn't identified"

"This must have been a sad moment for Shefali, doesn't she still talk to your mom?"

"She talks to mom but is not friendly and always talks formally but she respects my mom more than anyone, and mom has only one wish that Shefali should also call her as a mom, talk to her just like me"

"Don't worry your mom's wish will be fulfilled soon, Dong Hyun looked at Sara and said"

A voice came from behind," whose wish is being fulfilled?"

Sara and Dong Hyun got up from their place and looked back, Seo Yeon stood smiling"

Sara bow down and said, "Good afternoon ma'am"

She came out and stood on the stairs and said with a smile, "Good afternoon", then looked at Dong Hyun and asked," whose wish was being fulfilled"

"Nothing, we were just talking to each other, Dong Hyun lowered his eyes and said"

"Well, if you don't want to tell me, by the way, I'm going to the meeting room"

"Are you feeling well now, Dong Hyun looked at Seo Yeon and asked"

"Don't worry I'm fine, Seo Yeon said"

"ok, but take care of yourself"

Seo Yeon looked at Dong Hyun she smiled and moved on.

Sara immediately turned to Dong Hyun and quickly asked him, " tell me one thing, why do you talk to your mom in such a formal way? she is your mom not ma'am"

"Yes, I know, Dong Hyun looked back at Seo Yeon and said"

"Then why do you talk to your mom like this?"

"I said, I don't know, I need fresh air right now, so I'm going to the garden for a walk"

Dong Hyun starts going towards the garden Sara asked from behind," did you have lunch?"

Dong Hyun told without looking back, "Yes, I have had lunch"

Sara smiles and says, "okay"

Then she sits down on the stairs again and takes out her mobile phone from her jeans pocket and grumbles by turning it on, "Ah, Dong Hyun you deleted all my Ye Joon pictures but I forgive you because we're friends now I have to download all the pics again, God when will that day come, when I meet Ye Joon and click pictures of both of us together from my mobile"

And Sara started searching for Ye Joon's images and in the playground, Jeong Hoon and Shefali get tired of playing football, both were breathing fast and their whole body was drenched with sweat.

Shefali said after taking a long breath, "now we take some rest"

Jeong Hoon gasped," Yeah you are right, now we should take a break"

Saying this he sat down on the ground and Shefali sat in front of him, he was looking at her, and Shefali started feeling uneasy, she lowered her eyes, "why are you staring at me?"

Jeong Hoon smirked," I'm not staring at you, just looking at your face"

"Why is there something on my face?" she started touching her face with her palm.

Jeong Hoon chuckled," Hey there's nothing on your face, I was just looking at you like that"

"You are not kidding me"

"Nah, he got up from his place and went to Shefali and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from her face and looked into her eyes he said " you are the beauty of nature which God has created uniquely"

Looking into Jeong Hoon's eyes, she turned a little bit away from him she said," I think we should talk about football"

He smiled, "Okay, you play football well, where did you learn from?"

"I learned from my dad, used to play with him since childhood, then slowly football became my favourite sport"

"So where is your dad? I would like to meet him"

"Shefali looked at Jeong Hoon with teary eyes," he died when I was 12 years old"

"Oh, I'm sorry I don't know about that"

Jeong Hoon didn't know what to do so he silently looked at Shefali's face but she turned her face to the garden and tears rolled down her cheeks"
