Dream Heights
Wang Yu Yan and Wen i were sitting in the hall, watching T.V. when Wen i's phone ranged.
Eyes still on the T.V., Wen i picked up the phone and as soon as she did this, a loud voice ca, which left Wen i in shock.
"Brat, What took you so long to pick up the phone huh? Are you lazing around again? If you have so much ti, co visit her. Have you forgotten that your father and mother exist?" said Madam Wen.
Distancing the phone from her ears, Wen i's eyebrow twitched, and in an irritated voice she said, "Mother, I can listen to you. You don't need to shout on the phone!"
"Brat, are you shouting on ?" asked Madam Wen her voice full of suspicion.
"N-No, mother! H-How can I shout at you?" said Wen i as she beca Alert of the danger coming.
'With your mouth' mouthed Wang Yu Yan as she gestured towards her mouth.
Seeing this, Wen i couldn't control laughter and so of her giggles reached to the other side of the phone.
"Are you by chance laughing on ?" asked Madam Wen. Listening to this, Wang Yu Yan laughed lightly.
"N-No" answered Wen i who gestured to Wang Yu Yan to stop laughing.
"Hmm, Nevermind. You both should visit us tomorrow. It's been days since I talked to you both" said Madam Wen.
"You t yesterday, and you also talk to Yan Yan almost everyday in the hospital," said Wen i with a plain voice.
"S-So what? You both are coming tomorrow to the Mansion. That's final. Hmph!" said Madam Wen furiously as she abruptly disconnected the call.
"B-But-" Wen i wanted to say sothing, but when she realized the call was disconnected she sighed.
Putting her phone down, she said, "Yan Yan, mother wants us to visit her tomorrow."
Wang Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, but after a mont she said, "Hmm, ok" nodding her head.
Wen i sighed, and probably wanted to complain, but was interrupted by a phone call.
Seeing the caller ID, Wen i said, "Oh, It's from work" as she excused herself and went to attend the call.
Seeing that she was now alone, Wang Yu Yan sighed and looked up to the ceiling.
"Looks like it's ti" she mumbled.
....
The next day
Madam Wen and Wen Peng were sitting in the hall,sipping tea. Outside they looked calm and elegant and inside only they knew how nervous and tensed they were.
"Madam, Young Miss Su has arrived." said a servant as he ca into the hall.
After a mont, Wang Yu Yan entered the hall.
Seeing her, Madam Wen and Wen Peng kept their tea cups.
"Oh, Yan Yan. You are here. Co here sit beside " said Madam Wen.
"Good morning, Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen" said Wang Yu Yan as she took a seat as instructed by Madam Wen.
"Good Morning Yu Yan. Is i not coming?" Wen Peng asked.
"No, Uncle Wen. She had so important things to attend." answered Wang Yu Yan.
Wen Peng nodded.
"Oh, Yan Yan. We want to talk to you in my room" said Madam Wen with hesitation.
"Sure" said Wang Yu Yan as she followed Wen i and Wen Peng to their room.
On entering the room, Madam Wen shut the door, and asked Wang Yu Yan to take a seat.
"Yan Yan, there is sothing you need to know. But first I want you to see this." said Madam Wen as she handed Wang Yu Yan so photos.
These were the sa pictures that Madam Wen cried about when she found the truth about her friend.
In short they were the pictures of Feng Mian and Madam Wen in their teenage.
As Wang Yu Yan was handed over the pictures, she saw it carefully.
It was her mother. And she was as beautiful as always, she had the always 'good to go' smile on her face which could make anyone's day bright.
She looked young and fresh, just like a flower who had just co out from it's bud.
Beside her was Madam Wen, who looked the sa as ever, but was younger than now.
Wang Yu Yan did not say anything. Or to be exact she did not know what to say as she was engrossed in the photo in front of her.
Seeing her silence, Madam Wen frowned and she had expected it.
"She is your mother, isn't she?" said Madam Wen as she gazed on Wang Yu Yan and then on Wen Peng.
Wen Peng gestured to Madam Wen to give Wang Yu Yan so ti. Nodding Madam Wen sighed silently.
"She is my mother" said Wang Yu Yan with a feeble voice as a tear landed on the photo.
But she had to control her tears.
"The one beside her is ." Madam Wen said.
On hearing this, Wang Yu Yan looked up, directly into the eyes of Madam Wen.
In those eyes which were looking up to her, Madam Wen could see the pain in them. Those black and brown eyes were similar to Feng Mian.
In those eyes, pain was clear along with the need for comfort.
Madam Wen could not find any way to console Wang Yu Yan, apparently she herself had not recovered from the surprise.
Wen Peng, who was witnessing this, expected this. And he was not wrong when he said that Wang Yu Yan will be the one to experience the most pain.
And this was the starting. He knew that she was strong but sotis only being strong does not help.
Sotis, it's better to have soone and cry in front of the person, instead of storing it all inside.
But for Wang Yu Yan who had lived for so long hiding it, it will not be easy to let go of this habit of hers.
And if this continues, Wen Peng was worried that her walls will grow so strong and so tall , that it would be impossible for soone to break it.
"I will wait outside," said Wen Peng as he left the room, not wanting to disturb them.
Madam Wen continued, "Your mother and I have been friends since little. It was until she left her house, our friendship perished and I had never seen her since then.
When I first saw you, you looked like her, but I dismissed the thought quickly. Then one day I saw you visiting the cetery. Unknowingly, I followed you to the cetery, there I got to know that the friend's call I have been waiting for so long, it won't ever co."
Madam Wen stopped, she was too teary to continue speaking.
A teardrop fell through her eyes.
Wipping them she said, "Seeing Mian's grave, I couldn't believe my eyes. After so ti I figured out that Feng Mian married Wang Fang. And you were the Wang Family's daughter.
Your Uncle knew about you being the daughter of Wang Family. It seed like he knew your father and your father told him about you.
About the rumors of the Wang Family, I and your uncle don't believe it. We know that you won't do anything like this.
I don't know how you will think of after this.
Honestly, I want to ask you what happened to Mian and the Wang Family. But I won't force you. If you think you shouldn't tell us feel free to do so.
One thing you should know, which is that the Wen Family supports you."
Wang Yu Yan though knew all this, it still felt new to her. So new and so heartbreaking that she could not hold back her tears.
Madam Wen, upon seeing that she was silent, felt that it's her ti to leave Wang Yu Yan alone.
So, she turned around to leave.
No sooner did she take a step forward, than Madam Wen felt that soone help her hand.
She turned back, only to see Wang Yu Yan's hand holding her and her eyes were on the photo.
As she looked up, Madam Wen could see the tears in her eyes, so much that they were flowing.
That's when Madam Wen felt like her heart was pierced by needles.
She couldn't help herself and hugged Wang Yu Yan into a motherly hug.
Yes, the all ti strong Wang Yu Yan was crying. The cold hearted girl, who did not show her emotions in front of others was crying.
After more than ten years, anyone had ntioned her past and her family. Soone assured her that she was not alone.
Her mother who died at an early age, her father who was killed and she who was deed as a murderer.
All the pain of these years ca out.
The nights that she had survived alone, the mornings that she had gotten only to see an empty house, the als she ate but as if she was forced.
All these mories were played in her mind.
One must be surprised, but Madam Wen was not.
How can you not expect soone to not cry when her painful wounds were pressed?
How can you expect soone to keep living on, when all the hopes to live have vanished?
How?
These thoughts, forced Madam Wen's tears too
Soon two people were seen crying. They both soothed each other.
One seeked the warmth that she had lost many years ago, so another seeked the happiness of getting soone back in another form.
Yes, for Madam Wen, Wang Yu Yan was another Feng Mian, who had co back in Madam Wen's life.
For Wang Yu Yan, it felt like she had got a mother's warmth again.
Wen Peng who was outside the door, listened to all the conversation and apparently felt the emotions, also had tears in his eyes.
"She is as the sa as you, Fang" said Wen Peng as he wipped his tears.
