*******************

MAIN CHARACTER INTRO...

Jomaira is an 18-year old pretty girl, and she is the only child in her family. Everybody called her Aira. She lived with her parents, and she just moved to the new town for her further studies. She fell in love with a boy named 'Skylar' when she was 13-year old.

Skylar is a 19-year old charming boy. He is the second child of his family. He went to study abroad when he was 14-year old.

Jomaira and Skylar had never seen each other before. They two fell in love because of the letters that they wrote to each other. They addressed each other with the name Jo and Lar.

*******************

One heavy night on New Year's Eve, it's an unforgettable day for Aira. She was very excited about this day because it's her first date with Lar. She was nervous it's the first time they were going to meet.

***

The day before New Year's Eve...

The door opened, and there was no one in the room. Found a letter on the table; I'm leaving.

Aira, who escaped from home, is now on a flight to Seoul.

The plane arrived at Incheon International Airport. She got out of the plane, and the cab she booked online was waiting outside.

The cab arrived in front of a hotel called Sparkle, where she had booked online. She went inside. The staff gave her the room key.

Her room was on the fifth floor, and she got into the elevator and pressed five. She went to her room, which was room number 1212.

She put the key in the lock and walked inside. It's a beautiful room with good interior work, it's not the one she booked online. She opened the door of the balcony, looked all around, and just closed her eyes and felt the air.

'I missed it lots; it's been a year,' she said.

*knock* *knock*

Someone at her door. She opened it, and it was the staff. The staff said her room number was 1211 and that they had given her the wrong room key. They apologized and brought her to the booked room.

The staff returned the key to a tall young man with a handsome face. He got inside and put his luggage in the corner. And he saw a paper bag was on the bed. He took it and looked at what was inside. It was lots of chocolate. He took one and ate it. It tastes different, he loves it. But he felt guilty and decided to return it to the person next door. He knocks on the door but no one replies. So he put the bag in front of the door and went to his room.

Aira came from the bath and opened the door to see who it was, but she didn't see anyone. She looks down and finds the paper bag. She took it and went inside.

And eat one chocolate from the bag and said glad I got it back. It's the chocolate that is made by her own hand.

Suddenly, her phone rang; she looked at it, 50 miscalls. She turned it off and put it on the table.

She sat beside the mirror and started to dry her hair. After that, she put on a face mask, applied some lotion on her hand, and took a paper cut from her bag then lay on the bed. It was a letter from Lar.

Aira read his letter again and again, 'Let's spend New Year's Eve together; I promise you, we will meet this time for sure. Wait for me. Lovingly Lar.'

Lar wrote in his letter that they would meet at the Moment restaurant at 5 pm. The restaurant is near to her hotel and it's only a few minutes' walk.

While reading the letter, she blushed and smiled. But she was wondering, will Lar like her; what should she do if he comes? The thoughts made her worried, and she can't get enough sleep.

On New Year's Eve...

The sunlight coming through the curtain touched her face, and she smiled slightly. She wakes up from her sleep. She went to the balcony and enjoyed the fresh air.

The young man next door also comes to the balcony and enjoys the fresh air. They can't see each other.

She went for a morning walk and came back after doing some exercise. She read the newspaper while drinking her coffee.

After a few hours later, Aira was busy with makeup, dress, and many other things. Finally, she prepared herself and looked in the mirror. She looks gorgeous in a pretty dress, and happiness makes her even more beautiful.

She reached the restaurant on time. When she got there, she wondered why there was nobody in the restaurant.

Then the staff came to greet her; and asked, "Are you Jo ma'am?"

Aira got surprised, and with a low voice, she said yes.

Then the staff told her to follow them and showed her a table which was decorated, with white roses and candles. It's full of nice smells, and she feels very blessed.

'Ma'am, do you want anything?' staff asked.

'No, thanks.' Aira said.

But she was super nervous and ended up asking for a glass of water. The staff brings some water, and she takes a sip and makes herself cool down. Then she just waited for Lar.

The time went so fast, the clock in the Restaurant struck eight, but Lar didn't show up. It does not make her worried; she still believed that he would come because he promised.

But unfortunately, it's getting dark, and the restaurant is about to close. The staff comes again to tell that they are closing. Aira asked for half hours, they agreed.

But Lar didn't come up, and it's time to close too. Aira smiled and left from there.

Unfortunately, it started to rain. It was heavy. She just walked in an absent mind and only one question in her mind why he didn't come.

She looks like a stupid person who waited five years for a person who never met for once.

The rain also was quite cruel to her; heavy drops of rain fell on her face. She completely drenched in the rain and fell. The beautiful dress turned ugly, the glowing face was washed away by the grief, and the joy turned to sadness there.

The tears she tried to hold up came out, it mixed with rain. She started to cry loudly and looked at the sky then she shouted why... she felt it full dark.
