1 1.0 My Life without You

"Sorry Miss but we did what we can do..."

"It's all your fault! Now my Xiao Ru is gone because of you!"

"Why don't you move on and find another guy? He's not coming back you know..."

"Time won't be reverse no matter how much you regret..."

"....."

"... If only I didn't wish for us to meet then maybe you'll be here..."

———––——————————————

I, Lu Xia Rin aka Xia Rin, was walking down the street to meet up with my old friend, Wei Mei Ling aka Ling Ling, it's been years since we met so I'm kinda excited to see her.

Looking at her phone for directions, soon Xie Rin saw the café that they're supposed to meeting at.

Xia Rin went inside and ordered for hot chocolate while she waits for Ling Ling to come.

As Xia Rin waits, she looks outside the window and it made her reminisce the time her beloved was still alive.

It made Xia Rin wonder of the possible future they could have if she haven't insisted on meeting that time.

Will you still be alive? Will we still be together, she wonder? Will your mom have accepted me by now? Will we have our own family perhaps?

So many possible outcomes entered Xia Rin's head but she knew one fact that remains... The fact that all of it will never come true since you're no longer here.

As Xia Rin is in her own world, she didn't notice that her friend, LingLing, have come until she tapped Xia Rin on her shoulder. The two talked about many things that have happened in their lives especially the ones that they did when they were still in school, soon they touched about the subject about him.

"Xia Rin are you still not over him? It's been seven years since then, I bet Xie Ru will be sad seeing you like this." (LL)

"Ling Ling, you know that it's not that easy since I'm the one..." (XR)

"LU XIA RIN! YOU ARE NOT AT FAULT!" (LL)

"..." (XR)

"that accident is not your fault... None of it is so please forgive yourself... Not just for you but for Xie Ru as well." (LL)

".... I'll try Ling Ling" (XR)

After that they continued their talk before they decided to call it a day and set up another get together, this time with their other friends.

As they got out of the café, a dirty and suspicious looking man appeared. Xia Rin immediately usher LingLing to the side to avoid the man but when LingLing saw him, her body went rigid and started to tremble with that Xia Rin knew the man is bad news.

"Xiao Ling, honey I've come to get you home..." (man)

"Ling Ling?" (XR)

Ling Ling seems not to hear anything that was said and just started to shake more while chanting some words.

So Xia Rin took initiative to take Ling Ling away from this man. When the man saw that he was ignored, he starts to shout some cursed words at them but Xia Rin still continue to ignore him while Xia Rin pulls LingLing out of the scene.

Soon he took a knife out and quickly rushed towards them, more precise to LingLing's side.

Xia Rin's reaction was bit late so Xia Rin was stabbed at her heart while she protected LingLing but before Xia Rin fell down, Xia Rin took the knife that was stabbed at her heart and reverse stabbed him as well.

'If I'm going down, you're coming with me' is what Xia Rin thought at that time.

Then both of them fell, before Xia Rin closed her eyes, Xia Rin look at Ling Ling and said...

"Now I can be with him..."

Soon Xia Rin closed her eyes and welcome death... At least that's what Xia Rin thought..
