Loving You was The Hardest Thing to Do

Loving You was The Hardest Thing to Do

On cold days like today, she always visit my house. She was a peculiar woman, she always seems to wear white clothes, white sockes and white shoes. Everytime I see her, snow always comes to my mind. I remember the frst time she knocked on my door.I was making myself a hot coffee back then, when I heard the knock I had imediately opened the door in fear that someone is in need of dire help. I was disappointed when all I see was the white snow. Annoyed and irritated, I slam the door shut. That was the first time I heard her voice. I can still remember her exact words, the paused in every single word and the emotions that goes along with them as if everything happened yesterday. "Is that a way to treat a woman? How rude of you!" Her voice displayed anger and irritation, but instead of annoyance, I felt my heart lifting. I immediately opened the door.

Her name was Eva. According to her, her parents left her when she was 3 years old. Ever since then she had been living in the forest, but the forest does not provide her enough warmth during winter, thus leading her to seek for other habbitats that will let him stay until the winter ends. She used to stay with my chinese neighboor, Su Kim Lee. Sadly Kim was deported back to Korea just last summer. The whole house was demolished. Eva could no longer stay there.

I had offered her to just live with me instead. At first she smiled, by heart lift up expecting her to say yes. She said no, according to her she has her duty in the forest. I had tried asking her countless of times what her duty was but she never said anything. Eva is really a woman of mystery.
