Let's Get Married

"..."

Death day?

Lily looks at the man who is very close to her. He seems to have no extra emotion. He just looks at a certain place with a cold gaze. It is rare to be somewhat blank, as if he is recalling something.

After a long silence, he slowly says, "It was the same as tonight, dark and the moon is big. She hugged me and we hid under the bridge."

Lily does not know why he tells her this, but she does not stop him. She doesn't want to know what happened to him, but she does not want to do anything to break this short period of peace.

"A lot of people were chasing and looking for us outside. I could even see the light coming from the flashlight not far away. I was curious why they were chasing us. I looked at the feet of those adults and asked my mother this question. I asked her, 'Mom, when can we leave here?' It was just these words..." Hawk suddenly laughs with his chest heaving. He doesn't say anything funny. It is really strange, and it seems he is with a sense of sorrow.

Sorrow?

Lily stops this ridiculous thought. How could this man feel sorrow? He is simply heartless and ruthless.

"The people outside heard my words. They walked toward the bridge. Hearing the rapid tramp of feet, I had no idea what happened. My mother put a handkerchief in my mouth. She walked out, standing in the halos of the flashlight. I saw they were surrounding my mother, and then I heard her screams. I didn't know what they are doing to her, but I smelled the blood. I was eight years old at that time, but I had already known what blood is like." Hawk takes another swallow of wine. Some wine seeps out from the corner of his mouth as he drinks too much, flowing down his fair neck to his collar, "Her blood flew from the side of the road to the bottom of the bridge. It was red all around. When I scrambled out of the bridge, my mother was already gone. I walked along the blood like I was walking on a red carpet. I lost my fear and reaction. I picked up my mother's little finger from the grass on the side of the road..."

As he speaks word by word, Lily's heart is pumping faster than ever. This story really happens to him. It is so cruel that she is unwilling to believe it is true, but...

When she sees the tears at the corner of his eyes, she believes that the story is true. It happens when he was eight years old.
