212 The Memory

[Flashback]

"Mom...Dad...Why are we leaving Puglia in such a hush tonight? It's...not even been long since we came to this town... The people here...the ambiance...everything was so pleasant. Then... Why do we...need to leave again?" 

Before stepping inside the car standing under the cloudy yet murky night sky, 16 years old highschooler Eva queried both Eleana and Stevan who were busy loading several boxes of their packed stuff inside the car. From their facial eloquence, they seemed very intense and palpitated. 

For a few seconds, Eleana halted at her question and stood still lowering her eyes down. Stevan sneaked a quick glance at her and touched her shoulder to comfort her gently, "get inside the car first, honey. You...sit with Eva in the back."
