Cold Summer - Chapter 1

“Mèimei, Papa was calling.”

I know. I heard it.

It’s just that, I don’t want to hear him nor talk to him. So much things’ going on, we barely got time to move.

I gazed outside the window as I watch the busy streets of China. My eyes wandered at the small,run-down bakery that sells delicious pastries—it is now being demolished. It was where we ate your favourite buns.

“Hey, mom. Can we make a stop over there?”

“No. Our flight is near. We are in a hurry.”

I can’t believe so much has change in a span of 1 year. Maybe because I do not go outside so often, or maybe I just want to forget.

“Oh? The park is now a shopping mall!?” I gasped.

“Quite shocking, isn’t it? Many were angered when they suddenly decided to build that mall in that place.”

Ofcourse it is. The park was built since before I was born. To remove it so suddenly will definitely anger the citizens who mostly live in that area.

“I used to play there.” I was saddened that the park was gone. I remember all the friends I made there when I was quite young.

I glanced at my watch—It reads 12:00. We only have 2 more hours left ’til our flight. One thing for sure, I will miss the people here. They were so friendly.

The car passed by the old,abandoned building. It was my previous school. You and I were classmates then, remember?

“I heard that school was set on fire by an arson.”

Yes. I remember crying while watching it on the news. It was allegedly ‘set on fire’ and many students died on that same day.

“And the arsonist was the chariman himself.”

If, I wasn’t sick that day and went to school. I would have died with you.
