"Don't worry your son will be alright. You just need to give him this energy on a regular basis until he recovers completely," Si-ri assured the poor man about his son's health.

The man thanked her for healing his son's long term disease and blessed Si-ri with all his heart.

Si-ri stretches and stifles a yawn. "Huhhhh...quite a busy day". She walked towards the window to grab some fresh air. Upon opening the window she felt the sharp coldness of the winter breeze. She inhaled the crisp, cool air. In no time the snowflakes started pouring from the sky. Her breath became feeble against the numbing air but she kinda enjoyed it, she blinked thoughtfully as the frost patiently kissed her face, captivated by the soft, dusty illusions of light that sat heavy on her eyelashes. She adored the snow, more so when it was falling and unshackled her hands to play with the snow. After a few minutes, she lifted her eyes to the sky and smiled.

"It's been five years. Five... Long years. Even though I may look happy today, it was not an easy journey for me. Sometimes I cried myself to sleep, I used to feel guilty that you and my father sacrificed their lives for me. I used to curse myself to be born with a cursed fate. But with the passing time, I healed and made myself strong enough instead of crying and recalling the past that kept on making me feel vulnerable to the core. After all, I had to keep my promise. And see, here I'm living my dream life that I've always dreamt of."

"I made it this way because of your love only

"I made it this way because of your love only. Even if you're not here, the memories of those beautiful days we spent together always empowers me every day. You know what Min-ho, your death made me helpless once but this is your love that made me strong. I'm doing my work to heal people as I always feel immense pleasure doing this. I forgive my parents too. They wanted me to come with them to the palace but I insisted that I want to live a simple life without any boundation. Nothing can be more satisfying for a girl of an old mansion who had spent her eighteen year of life in a prison, to live a free life. Therefore, I requested them to not reveal my identity. People here recognize me as Lord Yong's adopted daughter and I'm proud of it. Sometimes I go to the palace to pay them a visit, they shower me with their love. I love playing with Rian there. Whenever I miss you badly I go to see that cherry blossom tree, the place has been the witness of our eternal love. I get lost in the wave of nostalgia. Walking down the memory lane I see the vivid projection of my past life there with you, the echo of our laugh filled in the air, the fun and the love. Pure love.""I miss you every day Min-ho. But I don't cry now. I welcome your memories with a smile and I assume you too might be smiling to see me smiling, no matter wherever you're. I'm living my life to the fullest in a hope that we'll meet again after a long passage of time. Then we'll see this snow together for a long time just watching the snowfall and appreciating being together. Our love story was not fated to reach its happy ending but still I believe we'll complete our love story, we'll meet again ......sometime.......somewhere."

Si-ri smiled genuinely and closed the window.
