The morning breeze lifted her white dress, causing it to flutter like a lonely flower in the wind. She ran for quite some time, losing her shoes and nearly falling.
"Dad, stop the car! Cheyenne is back there," Benson yelled.
Upon hearing this, his father quickly hit the brakes and turned to see a beautiful young girl following behind them.
He liked Cheyenne very much and immediately backed up the car so Benson could say goodbye to her.
"Why are you leaving?" asked Cheyenne.
Benson picked up the shoes she had lost and handed them to her. He looked like a little adult as he patted her head seriously. "My mom said I can't let anything affect my studies, so I have to go to Dodon."
"Where's Dodon? Is it far away?" she asked with pouty lips and watery eyes looking up at him.
"I don't know. Maybe it's far," replied Benson with shame in his eyes. He had helped Nora bully Cheyenne before but now felt guilty about it. He held out three fingers as he promised. "Cheyenne, I will write you letters."
"Alright, it's a deal," she agreed. "We need to keep our word, who break it is a puppy!"
The young girl finally went from tears to laughter, taking his hand and giving him her favorite seashell as a token of their agreement.
"Deal."
As the memories faded, Benson, who had always been a handsome young boy, grew up to have a striking and dazzling appearance, easily rivaling today's idols.
"Now that you mention it, I remember you're Nora. By the way, I came to see Cheyenne. Where is she?" he inquired.
"I'm right here!" called out Cheyenne weakly from inside the house.
"You've lost weight," observed Benson gently after placing his warm hand on Cheyenne's face for awhile before sighing softly.
"I've been busy lately... why did you come here today?" questioned an excited-looking Cheyenne while Kate helped bring him into sit down on a chair next to them both..
"I heard about your accident in the news and immediately asked Mr. Lara for your whereabouts. That's why I rushed here."
It turned out that Omari, that guy, had spilled the beans.
When he returned, she was definitely going to give him a piece of her mind!
Benson and Cheyenne chatted as if they were old friends, leaving Nora feeling completely sidelined, like she was invisible to everyone around her.
She clenched her teeth in frustration, holding Sean's hand as they walked away.
Simultaneously, a sense of curiosity crept into her mind. The Gibbs family had moved away from Akloit years ago, and there had been no contact since.
Why was Benson so familiar with Cheyenne?
Little did she know, the Gibbs family had indeed relocated to Dodon, but Benson and Cheyenne had kept in touch through letters all along.
Initially, their correspondence consisted of sharing recent events and discoveries of delicious food or fun activities. But when Benson started high school and developed a crush on a girl, he confided in Cheyenne through his letters. She even gave him advice on how to pursue his love interest.
Cheyenne also confided in Benson about her own crush on Kelvin, making him the first person to know about it. He encouraged her to be brave and pursue her own love interest as well.
