“Oh my god. Aaron, help me!” Kathy alarmed.
But Beth was so crazy because she wished Kathy could shut up her mouth all the time.
Just before the moment infusion bottle was going to fall on Kathy, Aaron ran to protect her in his hugs from the hurt from infusion bottle and the iron frame which were finally knocked on the back of Aaron, making a sound of ‘boom’.
With the sound, the fragments of the broken bottle scraped his skins on his neck. Then, Aaron’s expression changed because of pain.
Seeing Aaron protecting Kathy with his body, Beth stood still with hands trembling. “Why?” She couldn’t understand his behavior.
A few moments later, she went clumping towards Aaron.
“Aaron, are you fine? I’m sorry, so sorry,” She apologized. Actually, she was the person weaker than Aaron but maybe she had been in dumb. She just looked guiltily at him.
She saw the bloodstain on his neck, which would become blurred. She couldn’t stop crying for his injury.
Aaron turned to look at her coldly with frowning. To his surprise, the chilly sensation on his face scattered at the moment of seeing her red eyes, full of his image and the care about him. But what she said later gather those chilly sensation again on his face.
“I’m not lying, I was pregnant. Why couldn’t you believe me only once?” Beth choked.
Hearing her repeated explanation, Aaron waved away Beth’s hands like a cold-blooded man and said, “Don’t touch me! You pest! Stop lying and you really made me disgusted.”
He said that she was disgusting. Beth couldn’t believe this. She froze and gradually wasted all her energy.
Staring at his handsome look, she smiled, “Aaron, how can you say that? You didn’t treat me like this in the past. Don’t you remember...” Then, she got into their wonderful memories.
A day, in Cherry Orchard of Taylor Town, young Aaron and young Beth first met each other.
A teenage boy, very fair, in a white T-shirt, stood under a cherry tree. Spring breeze wafted across him and the sunlight shined to him, which made the boy a light or a wind, warming young Beth’s life.
He looked at Beth on the tree and smiled, “Hey, little girl, is there anyone bullying you?”
She was just suffered a domestic violence and had no place to go, so she could only hide on the cherry tree and cried full of sores on her body. Now, she saw a person warmer than sunlight. That was Aaron,
“If you are timid, why do you climb the tree? Don’t cry. Just jump down and I can catch you. But don’t do this again, OK?” This warm-hearted boy looked gently at her and opened his arms towards her.
The boy was in voice mutation, so his voice sounds a little hoarse but gentle which made her cry today when she recollected it.
Then, she followed his advice and jumped down. Well, the boy did really stand there still and caught the little girl in his hug, bur the girl on the opposite squashed all his cherry.
Considering that it was getting dark, and there were many snakes and mice, he sent her home in person. They saw the sunset on the way which was the most beautiful scenery Beth had seen until today in her life.
Before they separated from each other, the young boy asked her name and smiled, “Beth, what a nice name! Are you still painful?”
But he didn’t tell her his name because he thought they would not see each other anymore. Later, she heard of his name, Aaron, from others.
