Someday

Chapter 22

I've always felt that coincidences are like stray kids , they leave fate "the main mom ",to drift off their main purpose so they can wander around. They keep leaving hints here and there , before fate comes and surprises us, I've been thankful for them. Since they sometimes guide me and help me to know what to expect rather than getting slapped on the face by something fate throws at you without a warning.

Art stays quite for awhile. His face was emotionless I couldn't quite know what was happening with him.

"Art? " I say , after a long stare he blinks and comes back to being normal .

"Yeah?" He says putting the letters back in its place.

"Is something wrong? You were going to say something about the handwriting?" I say confused waiting for his explanation.

"No it's nothing , I just had a flashback " he says as he brushed his hair backwards.

"Can you tell me? " I say softly realizing that he was not in a good mood.

"My brother jae used to send me letters like these to apologize after a fight " he reminisces.

"Sincerely J .." he whispers.

"Oh " I say surprised.

"how long have you been receiving these letters ?" He asks.

"Each year actually , they always come on dad's anniversary "

"Do you know who's been sending you these letters ?"he says sitting in front of me.

"No I don't " I say avoiding his eyes.

"Don't you want to ? "

"Yeah I do.. I guess , but I'm sure whoever that person is will show up someday " I say holding art's hand.

"Bella.." he sighs and closes his eyes in frustration.

"You can't keep doing this " he says patiently.

"Can't do what?"

"Postponing things and not taking action " he pauses and continues.

"Someday I'll go
someday I'll see..
make someday your everyday bella .
Someday is that room which you keep all the things you want to do but never approach just because of fear " he says looking at me softly.

I look at him speechless , he figured me out .
I know what I've been doing was wrong and that I thought by that I'll be safe and continue on with my life without any accidents or pain.
But I was wrong , I'm not living like that , it doesn't work this way.
It never did .

"You know what , you're right. Let's find out who is that person , you'll help me right?" I ask hopefully.

"Bella I'm not talking about figuring out who's that person only " he replies.

"I'll try .. I promise " I swear.

"Okay then" he smiles.

For the next half an hour we've been analyzing the letters one by one , trying to find some clues or pieces for the puzzle.

"Okay so that person started writing since 5 years ago , so that means he's related to your father's death in some way . Considering the letters come on your dad's anniversary " Art says going through the letters.

"Yes that sums it up" I say agreeing and pull my hair into a pony tail.

"Bella do you know who was in the accident with your dad? " he asks.

"I don't know .. I never asked " I say regretful.

"It's Okay , when you're ready go and ask kate " he says with a comforting smile and I nod .
