The Sanzu River and hot dreams of love

Lee Yu Mi - one of the essences of Sandra, also made the girl cry at night. In one of the chapters, I already wrote that Li Yu Mi and her fianc; Eo passionately loved each other, their love bloomed in spite of everyone and everything. The parents of both lovers were against their relationship. Time passed, but nothing changed. Finally, Eo decided to take matters into his own hands, Li Yu Mi and Eo got married in secret. When, after the allotted time, the couple had a daughter, only lovers were happy with the baby. Li Yu Mi's parents did not recognize the wedding, and Eo's parents did not want an Asian girl for their daughter-in-law. The times were harsh, people lived according to the laws of their ancestors, and love was not considered an argument. According to Lee Yu Mi's parents, their daughter never married. Three months after the birth of the baby, who by the way lived in her father's house, Li Yu Mi ran to Eo in tears. In the homeland of Li Yu Mi, a rich groom was found and the girl's family decided to return home. Even the argument that the daughter is married and she has a child did not bother the girl's parents, as I have already said, they did not recognize church marriage. The Korean groom received a portrait of a girl as a gift and was fascinated by her beauty, he was so impressed that he even agreed to take the girl to his family with his daughter. Naturally, this turn of events did not suit Eo. By this time, Eo's parents, with difficulty, but recognized their son's marriage, and the baby, Eo's daughter, grew up simply charming, and Eo's mother more and more often asked to bring her granddaughter from the children's room. Eo asked Li Yu Mi to leave his father's house, he reminded her that, by all God's laws, she was his wife and mother of his daughter, but the girl was desperately afraid of her parents and could not argue with them. Everything was shaky and incomprehensible. Just before leaving, the girl made up her mind and wanted to talk to her parents, but the result was that she was simply locked in the bedroom. Departure was scheduled for a few weeks later. For a whole week, Lee Yu Mi did not leave the house. Eo many times requested an audience with his wife's father, but the doors of Li Yu Mi's house remained closed to him. Finally, when two days remained before departure, the girl made up her mind. As soon as everyone in the house fell asleep, the girl decided to run away. Trusted maid Li Yu Mi had long ago prepared an escape route for her mistress, but the girl could not make up her mind. And now this moment has come. When Li Yu Mi was outside, she turned around for the last time, looked at her father's house, and without any hesitation directed her steps towards her husband's house. Soon, Li Yu Mi was already holding her daughter in her arms and, together with her husband, admired her beautiful face. It seemed that now everything would be fine, but the next day, guards knocked on the door of Eo's house. The head of the guard demanded that Li Yu Mi go with him, his task was to return the girl to her father's house. Li Yu Mi's father was friendly with the mayor, and, of course, the arguments that the girl's father brought were more weighty than anything Eo could say about this situation. Eo made a decision instantly, he foresaw the situation that happened now with Lee Yu Mi, and the decision was ripe for the lovers. Eo and Li Yu Mi decided to commit suicide. They knew they couldn't live apart. Their baby will remain under the care of Eo's mother, she was not in danger. While the servants were trying to stop the guards, Eo and Li Yu Mi sneaked out through the back doors. The horses were already waiting for them. In two hours they reached the limits of the old farm. Of course, the lovers understood that this was only a temporary respite, and that the guards would find them sooner or later. They did not sleep all night, and when dawn knocked on the windows, Eo filled the glasses. The fine wine of many years of aging was seasoned with a small drop of poison. This poison acted very slowly and painlessly. The man slowly fell asleep, never to wake up again. The guards found traces of the fugitives and a detachment was urgently sent to the old family farm, but it was already too late. The lovers went to an unknown land without letting go of each other's hands.
Sandra woke up crying. My heart was beating fast and it was hard to breathe.
Love, a huge and all-encompassing love that everyone dreams of, was with Sandra all night, and went to a foggy land. Sandra wanted the same kind of love, but of course she didn't want her love to end so tragically.
The Sanzu River has awakened the memories of those who lived a long time ago, but why does Sandra live all those lifetimes in a dream over and over again? Sandra wiped away her tears and went to the mirror. The girl stared at her reflection for a long time, but did not find any resemblance to Lee Yu Mi.
The work day has begun. Sandra sat at her desk and from time to time surreptitiously glanced at Eo. When their eyes met, Eo looked away. Olivia, who suddenly took possession of Sandra's body near the river and made an ugly scene with the old people, frightened Eo very much. The result of the attack was that the old people, who had not yet been touched by the virus that brings back memories, suddenly remembered everything. Horror, regret, hopelessness - all these feelings were reflected on the old man's face when Eo got him out of the water. With the old woman, everything was more complicated, she did not remember, but her face resembled a mask, blood did not flow from her eye, but her eye was swollen. Howeversuddenly the memories came back to her. Eo called the manager, he called the Black Reaper. Soon the reaper was already in place. However, Sandra, or rather, Olivia in the body of Sandra, resisted and did not let herself be taken away.
Several days have passed. The manager had a long conversation with the old people. When the manager returned, he did not tell Sandra anything. However, the girl insisted. The manager first of all made sure that it was Sandra in front of him now, and no one dominated her, and only after that briefly informed the girl that the old people would not press charges. But, a problem arose, after the old people remembered everything and realized what they had done in the past, they declared that they could no longer be judges over sinners. The sins of the old man and the old woman were so heavy that even time could not wash them away. The old people asked the manager to give permission for them to leave. The manager agreed to their request and said that he would send the petition. However, if the old people leave, someone will have to take their place. Sandra reminded the manager that the old people's work is useless, they only double-check the computer, but the manager was adamant. He said that here, by the Sanzu River, nothing happens by chance. Everything must go its own way. Many, many centuries ago, the supreme deity signed the first contract with sinners who lost their memory, it was they who were to judge the same sinners as they were, and pass judgment. And this tradition should not have been violated, no matter what modern trends entered people's lives. The day was moving towards noon, Sandra continued to secretly spy on Eo, it seemed incredible to her that it was Eo, this particular man she had seen in a dream. Sandra caught herself jealous of Lee Yu Mi. In order to experience such love, Sandra was ready, it seems, even for sacrifices.
Finally Eo couldn't take it anymore
- Sandra, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?
-No. Sorry. I just wanted to ask... The moment Olivia controlled me... Was I that disgusting?
- Oh... I wouldn't want to offend you! Well, how to say... You... Or rather, Olivia, she... She is so hot-tempered, so hot and unbridled! She just doesn't look like my meek Lee Yu Mi at all. What's wrong with you? Sorry!
Sandra ran out of the office. Today her nerves were like bare wires. She wanted Eo to praise and caress her, but... Sandra burst into tears, unable to contain herself any longer.
She didn't want Eo or the steward to see her in this condition, so she ran around the corner of the building. Squatting down, Sandra gave vent to tears, at that moment the Black Reaper saw her from the window.
-Sandra, -the black reaper bent over the girl, -what happened? Who offended you?
“I…” Sandra tried to say something, but choked. “Eo said that I, or rather Olivia, then, by the river…” , of course, sharp, you know, you can’t blame her for that! The old men who sit by the river...
- Sandra, - the reaper interrupted the girl, - Calm down, don't cry, I know everything. You remember that once I was the husband of this beautiful, unbridled Olivia, and like no one else I know her character. I would wipe away your tears, but I don't have that luxury, unfortunately I can't touch you.
I wish you a dream about what Olivia's life was like. And I hope that you will understand her character to the end.
- Excuse me, - Sandra sobbed, - I didn't want you to see it. I am tormented by such a life, I am brought to tears by memories that are not mine. I don't understand why this is for me?
- If you will, - the Black Reaper looked around, - then I would like to invite you to my office, yet it is not very convenient to talk here. I have some thoughts on this matter.
- Yes, of course, - Sandra nodded, - I need to calm down, and the office of the Black Reaper is the best place for this. I heard you have oblivion tea, could you pour me a cup?
The black reaper, after Sandra entered his office, invited her to sit comfortably, and only after that he answered her last question.
- Madam Sandra, I cannot offer you this tea yet, this tea for those who have died. You are still alive! I understand that you are confused, probably sometimes you do not understand where your life is and where someone else's, but believe me, here, by the Sanzu River, nothing happens just like that.
- Yes, the manager told me about it, and, in precisely these words, but still ...
“The only thing I can promise you is that when your time comes, I will be the reaper who escorts you to the Sanzu River Customs Palace.” If until this moment your desire is not lost, then I will treat you to the tea of oblivion.
- Fine. I'll try to calm down. Well, tell me, now that I'm Sandra again, am I really unworthy of love? Lee Yu Mi's story and your love story with Olivia are so beautiful yet tragic, why doesn't love come to me?
-Oh, Miss Sandra, you should not say such things, you are beautiful, and love will surely come to you, however, you should not be equal tostories of those entities that live in you now.
Probably, with your inner vision, you have not yet watched the story of our love with Mrs. Olivia to the end. When this happens, you will understand that our love was certainly beautiful, but the memories of it are painful. And it is better not to stir up the old, but to look to the future.
I, like no one else, understand what is happening to you, probably, the blood of the meek beauty Li Yu Mi and the frantic Olivia flows in you, so your life has now turned into a terrible fairy tale. Of course, my guesses may be wrong, but all I can do now is just try to reassure you, and repeat once again, here at the Sanzu River Customs Palace, nothing happens by chance, that is, just like that.
