True Colors
Everlasting Snow's

[Last year last winter ]

A girl stared at the cold street in front of her. The girl was wearing thick clothes with boots and a pair of gloves wrapped around her hands. He carried his heavy suitcase slowly down the road.

The girl lowered her head. Snow slowly fell and fell on his body. His jet black hair covered in a barett hat seemed straight, until the winter wind blew away some of his hair. The girl seemed to shed her tears. He continued to walk slowly on the cold road.

The girl's cry sounded slow. Her tears soaked her cheeks, her mouth was shaking and her breathing was irregular. The girl stopped her steps in front of a building. He then looked towards the large building covered in white snow. The crying then stopped. He rubbed his face slowly and walked along the road to the building.

The winter wind that was blowing was strong enough to blow away the girl's Barrett hat. The girl looked panicked and tried to chase and catch her hat. Then a young man taller than her stood before her while smiling warmly giving her a hat. The girl looked surprised with reddened eyes after crying.

"It's yours, isn't it?" Said the young man.

The girl simply fell silent and took her hat out of the young man's hand, nodding,

"Thank you..." Said the girl slowly and tried to leave the young man.

The young man looked at the girl who was walking away from him. He then walked quickly towards her. And be on par with the girl.

"Are you a new student?" The young man said to the girl next to him.

"...No" Reply the girl quietly while trying to hold back her cries.

"ah! Ii'm sorry... So, which class are you in?" Ask the young man again.

The girl just fell silent and walked quickly away from the young man, but the young man reached into the girl's arm, then the girl looked into the young man's eyes. The girl's eyes glazed over, the young man was startled and let go of his grasp.

"Wait... Cold weather, at least wrap your neck so as not to get cold" said the young man who turned his face towards the scarf around his neck who then removed the red scarf from his neck.

The young man pretended not to see the face of a girl holding back his cries. He then draped his red scarf around the girl's neck in front of him, saying,

"Be a strong man. Don't cry anymore and eat enough and rest well... Restore it!" Said the young man while tying the scarf knot on the neck of the hadith and then smiling.

The girl simply fell silent and listened to the young man's words. He let the young man wear the red scarf. The young man then put the barett hat slowly onto the girl's head and smiled warmly at the girl in front of him. The young man then turned his body and waved his hand and left the girl who was already in the courtyard of the large building earlier.

The girl looked calm and looked towards the young man who was walking away from her. He pulled the red scarf slowly and covered half of his face. Behind the red scarf was a girl smiling with a warm look.

The girl walked into the inner area of the large building earlier, it was the dormitory building east of Lyndenn Academy. The girl named Wang Jia Rong who was in the 2-2 class at that time, she had just returned from her country because both her parents died in an accident.

Wang Jia Rong was completely destroyed. Plus, his uncle seems to have planned all of those things to happen. His uncle attempted to take all of his family's assets Jia Rong by utilizing as the guardian of Jia Rong. Then, after the funeral took place, Jia Rong was forced to be engaged to someone she did not want. The real marriage will take place after Jia Rong has the legal age to marry.

Jia Rong intended to end his life after returning to Lydenn Academy. However, God seemed to hear the prayers of his parents, and sent a young man named Simon Howard during the snowfall. It was a young man who made Jia Rong not lose the chance of his life that God had given him. Someone named Simon Howard was the one who made him change.

With the words of Simon and the red scarf around his neck on that day, Jia Rong thanked him. And be good friends with him. Similarly, Simon who later knew a figure Wang Jia Rong well and pay special attention to him.

. . .

The following year, still in the same place, with the same season, with the same girl and young man facing each other. Snow slowly fell from the sky. The girl smiled towards the young man who a year ago saved her. Holding the young man's hand and walking towards their meeting place for the first time. Arriving at the place, the girl looked at the young man with a warm smile on her face. The girl was wearing a red scarf around her neck.

"I'm sorry, Simon" he said.

The young man then held the girl's hands together and looked into the girl's eyes.

"Sister, are you really going?" Simon replied with a worried look.

"Yes, thank you for saving me that day, Howard..." Said the girl named Jia Rong.

Simon tightened his grip on Jia.

"Don't go, please..." Simon said with a trembling tone.

Then Jia Rong removed Simon's hand from both arms and pushed him back. He then reached into his scarf and removed a necklace with a silver pendant with an amber crown. Behind the pendant was inscribed with the inscription "Catherine ". Jia gave her necklace to Simon's palm and made Simon's finger grip it tightly.

"Hey Simon, you know? what does my name mean?" Jia said as she held Simon's hand gently.

Simon then just shook his head and remained silent, he noticed Jia's hand that was putting the necklace on his right hand.

"Wang ( ⁇ ) is our surname, which means King, Ji ( ⁇ ) which means house, and Rong ( ⁇ ) which is taken from the word Rongy ( ⁇ ) which means honor. My parents wanted me to be someone who could organize and defend her home or homeland with great honor" After explaining that Jia just chuckled.

Simon remained visibly sad and listened to Jia's words carefully.

"You know? Why is my family, naming her daughter by that name?" Ask Jia again.

"Because of your family's honor?" Answer Simon slowly.

Jia Rong smiled, though,

"Yes, even though the Emperor has abdicated. His blood still flows within us. But, I think my name means something else..." Clearly Jia.

"What's that?" Simon asked Jia who was looking at his face.

"I thought that the meaning of my name was to maintain what had become 'home' to me. Where I was born, where I grew up and where my parents are. That's why I followed my destiny and returned to my 'house', Simon" Jia said sounding reassuring.

"Should you come back, Jia?" Reveal Simon.

This time the positions of the two were different from when they first met. Jia was in the position where Simon left her that day, and Simon stood in Jia's position that day.

"Of course it's the same, but isn't it different? I'm not by your side..." Simon's Speech.

Jia took another step back and smiled warmly at Simon while shaking his head.

"No... That day was snowy, God sent me a kind young man. Sometimes it's not a matter of the person being by our side or not, but a memory that makes everything look the same or different. And I think it's the same, Simon. Whether you want to be by my side or not, as long as the snow is eternal and has the same white in the world, you will always be remembered..." Said Jia with joy on her face.

Simon slowly stepped his feet towards Jia Rong and immediately hugged her.

"Thank you very much, Simon Howard..." Jia Rong said softly as he returned Simon's embrace.

Simon let go of his embrace and stared into Jia Rong's eyes,

"I hope you're happy, Jia Rong..." Said later.

Jia clasped Simon's hand and smiled warmly,

"Thank you for knowing the real me, you're my most cherished friend..." He then placed both hands on Simon's cheeks and then tiptoed to kiss Simon's lips briefly. Then he smiled and let go of Simon.

Simon was speechless and looked sad, he saw Jia Rong leaving. Jia Rong turned his body while waving his hand, then slowly walked away from Simon. Seeing that Simon walked slowly following Jia Rong, he walked far behind Jia.

It did not feel like they were returning to the place where the black sedan car that was going to take Jia Rong away was. Simon only looked from a distance, appearing a tall man more mature than him wearing a black suit standing holding a large black umbrella and appearing to be waiting for Jia Rong. Then, Jia walked quickly towards him and hugged the man. The two hugged, after which Jia got into the black sedan car.

Simon who saw it from a distance could only remain silent. Then the tall man closed his black umbrella. His eyes met Simon's eyes. Then the man bowed forty-five degrees toward Simon as if to say a sign of respect, gratitude and farewell. Then the man got into his car. The black sedan car started its way on a snowy road that left behind a wheel mark. Simon stood up to see the car speeding away from the dormitory area of Lydenn Academy.

. . .

[In the Car]

Jia Rong saw a tall figure of Simon slowly disappearing from the back glass of the car. His car continued to walk out of the Lydenn Academy area. Jia Rong sighed and the man sitting next to her clasped her and stroked her long hair slowly.

"It's over and thank you for your decision, My Wife..." Said the man slowly.

Jia Rong simply hid her face in the chest of her future husband's field.

'Thank you, goodbye... My first love, Simon Howard '

The car kept moving out of the Lydenn Academy Area. Passing through a forest covered with snow-white trees. Cold and slippery roads. Swansale Lake is cold layered ice on its surface looks lonely. The car continued until it finally headed for the city streets. The departure of Wang Jia Rong from Lydenn Academy at that time along with the descent of soft snow from the sky.
