1 Damn Ms. Romantic
I was walking together with my Childhood Friend, Ami…
"Oh my! That couple over there, how could they be so cute~!!" she said when the jogging couple was a bit further away.
"Shut up Ami! You're too much! Do all of the couples' in here in need your opinion?" I frustratingly said to her while approaching near the sea side.
"You're just being jealous Giro! Don't you know its good luck for the couples? You need to inform them how good they're together in order to let them preserver their relationship!" she stupidly smiled as she was explaining.
"Jealous? How could I? What I don't understand, in history of my existence, was you're principles in life" he just calmly responded
"Eh? You didn't read it on the book called Good Luck?" clueless asked
Giro lightly hit her head "you're quite stupid eh? You're the one who wrote that stupid book. Why implicate me?"
"Ah!" she touched her head "is it bad for me to promote myself?" she murmured but before I even hit her again…
"Ah! We're already here Giro!" while running towards the sunrise and then faced me after while smiling broadly.
Mornings are always beautiful if you're there together with me
at the spring of sunrise,
another life was given to me by the Lord God
Just for me to see the beauty of smile from your lips…
I was tempted to say it to her
But, for some reason,
I could only put it to my writings
The fake characters I created
For me my everyday devastating life
More than the downfall of our economy
For the continuous flow of blood from this heart break
For this heart who didn't anything other than to love her
For the, her, that could never be able to have, achieve or give love.
"Oh!" Giro was bewildered at the unexpected approach of Ami "why didn't you continue to write?"
"AMI! No cheating! It's not finished yet, okay? It might be a spoiler; manager would cut my head off if it leaked"
"Why are you always writing these gloomy things? Why not happy endings?" Ami asked, well if I could only say to her I already did…
"It's not possible… I already started it like that I better end it consistently like that" while shaking his head.
"Giro change is the only thing that is permanent to this world, so why don't you change?" she broadly grinned at me… this girl sure is frustrating…
"Ah, there's not gonna be an end to this" Giro walked away from his previous position
"Hahaha, just admit it, you can't win from me" she cheekily said and run after him
"Eh say it one more time" he sarcastically said
"YOU--!" her phone rang, he sighed… here we go again…
She took some distance from me but I could still her responses.
"Hello? Babe…ooh, yeah I'll join… yup we're together so later… no, no don't… sure, maybe next time… bye babe… love you too" *hung up*
Just by that piece of conversation you could get some hint, right? That phone guy was her Boyfriend… she told me she really love Jerick the guy.
It was fortunate enough that she never forget him, even though she's already taken. Well the consequences of that was me dying over and over again. Hmm… I felt weird today, I'm going home… and he walked faster than before.
"Hey…" she said while running after me.
"Bad mood?" he suddenly stopped walking and faced her.
"Jealous?" she mischievously smiled at that but I just stared at her.
"Don't worry even though I'm taken, you'll never be replaced as my best friend" she happily said while I just sigh in depression. This is f***ing torture…
As she observed my face, she anxiously said "what's wrong? There's obviously something wrong on that expression. Aren't you happy? Hey, care to share some talk?"
"I'll write it on the book, don't worry" he just helplessly smiled pathetically for himself while making a mess of her hair.
"Aiya! Giirrro! Don't mess my hair!" she frustratingly said
He convincingly gave her a smile "bye…"
"Bye" she still wore that worried look.
~Several Days Later
*knock knock *dingdong
That's what was bothering my door; it was frustrating but I'm home alone today. My older sister went to UK to migrate; they're just waiting for me to complete our family migrating there. Well, not until next year for I'm also going there; not sure if to migrate or not.
*knock knock *dingdong
"WAIT!" I shouted to the person at the door. The knock stopped for a moment. I f***ing put on clothes rushing and it's still 3 am!
*knock knock *dingdong
AH! So irritating! When I already came down to see who the F was there and harshly opened the door, I was the one who's shocked out of my wits. It's Ami whose tears were nearly falling. She's drunk, s**t, her dress were a mess and daring at that!
"What happened to you?!" I almost shouted at her.
But she didn't say anything a cried to my chest not letting go. So I cover her with my bed sheet I have when I came down. When I noticed the flood receded I asked again.
"Ams~, are you fine now?" I asked and she nodded
"Can you answer to my questions?" she nodded again
"What happened to you after, you didn't went to see me?" she didn't look at me
"When avoided you, we broke up, me and my boyfriend. I just thought if I told it to you, you'd on a rage. But whom you should be angry was actually me. I give him chance to think about our relationship and go on another girl. That was the one I introduced to him, and they became together." I became expressionless.
When I heard her say these words, I wanna scold her so bad. Really, but I kept it intact for now…
"The next one was this guy from the bar. I told him if we could try to work it out, a relationship I mean. Then he told me that I prefer being the one making a couple rather than being a couple. So we became friends"
"Name?"
"Micheal"
"Continue…"
"Then from then I fell for him, I decided to confess. But before I could confess, too late Micheal was already taken by then. But one thing stuck on my mind and made a mess out of it…" it took long before she spoke.
"hm?" I tried to test the waters if she's still awake.
"He told me 'don't look too far, the guy was just near you, he'll stay'. That puzzles me a lot, he notice so he added 'the Ms. Romantic knew when the couples loves each other but never sees the person who's in love with her' and he grinned at me which was very frustrating"
I understood Micheal slightly, wait… there's something wrong with that "did you talk about me to Micheal?"
"Yes, why?" confusedly looked at me.
"No, nothing" I awkwardly responded. I can't say it, she'd get hurt. That new best friend of hers' would go angry at me if I did. "Then?"
"Then the following days, I didn't do anything but write books; the romantic one. But there's no romance in there, more on a broken girl who seeks for another persons' love. I didn't throw it away but I also didn't pass it to manager" when did she became an official writer? This is the first time I'm hearing this "I also read books from different authors..."
Eh? Why am I getting this kind of bad premonition?
"Wait" for about 5 minutes, he breathes "go"
"I found your books" I know right
"I read it, until the end, even the newest book" I'm dead; somebody put my body on the grave.
"It took me a surprise when I read it, why could relate myself to the story that you wrote? Why do I felt like everything in there was for me to read, or you could even say that it was dedicated to me? I don't wanna assume something and ends up with nothing. That's why I drunk myself to forget, to forget whatever the book want me to read."
"..." I felt like I'm a bad*** person the whole world hated.
"Then Micheal and her girlfriend Elise was miraculously there and helped me get out of the bubble. They popped it for me, thankfully"
"Ams" I whisper
"What Micheal said he was right all the time because I kept on talking about you. Elise said I should meet you again stop running from you and tell you what I feel..." she faced me and looked at me in the eyes
"But I don't know this feeling... It's the feeling I've never felt before... but it's overflowing..." then we just kissed... just like that… a long one at that until we lost track of our breathes...
"I—"I interrupt her
"No, Ami... I don't want to hurt you...I want this, but it's too late for us" she was stunned from what I said
"Why—" but she passed out...
"You're too tired from all those mess, rest for today..."
~Noon
Ami slept on my bed; sleeping beautifully. I felt really happy when I finally got the attention I long waited to achieve. Sadly I'll leave her eventually in 8 months' time, it's a long time for us but it'll never last...
{Insert: Wherever You Are By 5SOS}
*kring kring
My phone rang and interrupted the music.
"Hello" I said
[Giro, when do you plan to leave the Phil?] My mom
"In 8 months' time"
[You sure you don't want to leave early?]
"y-yah" I stuttered, I don't know why
[But Giro, you know you can stay there right?] My mom was worried
"I finally got what I wanted to hear from her but I don't want to risk my career opportunity there"
[Excuses, I know career opportunity is important. Feeling you're alive is the most important of all] she scolds me, I'm not a kid
"Mom, its fine… as long as I know there was a time she wanted me into her life, it's enough. She's just a little bit overwhelmed on the thought of being alone"
[May Christ forgive you!] Then she hangs up, I smile bitterly
"When do you plan to inform me about you leaving?" that shocked me... she was listening
"No, I don't want you to know at all. But here you are well informed now" I said coldly
"What did you do to Giro?" ahhh gosh this is gonna be a fight she sounds cold
"I locked him up in the deepest part of my heart. So he won't be able to interfere with what's better for him"
"Why do have to lock him up?" this is a cold war because of the cold statements XD
"Because he will be hurt if he knew he has to leave you when you confessed to him a while ago"
"Why do you have to leave?"
"Because his parents were there and the opportunity is good. He will be now freed from this cage called love"
"Why do you have to speak like you are another person?"
"Because I can"
"Not because you can you should"
"Because I should"
"Why should you?"
"Because this will be an epic fight; his heart isn't meant to hurt you so I should..."
"..."
"Any further questions?"
"Yes"
"What is it?"
"I want you to be mine"
"No I can't"
"Why?"
"Cause you'll be like a sadist, always wanted to hurt herself and others" teasingly said
"I'm not gonna hurt others" she puffed her cheeks, squirrel.
"You will eventually"
"I'm willing to wait"
"You're not good at that type of game"
"Yes I am, just be mine I assure you I'm going to wait peacefully for you" I'm lost for words, can't fight Ms. Romantic at all
"Damn Ms. Romantic" and I suddenly kissed her out of nowhere.
End?
