Chapter 27 For Last Moment

((( Rhio POV's )))

She was asleep.

An annoying ringtone suddenly blared and destroyed all silence I was savoring. Everything about her was just…noisy. I parked the car for a moment and snatched the bag she was hugging tightly. The volume increased as I took her phone out so I hurriedly turned it off.

I returned her bag and watch her sleep. She was the very first woman I ever took in my car. But she was asleep so I guess that doesn't count.

She was probably tired from work to doze off the moment we left in moderate car speed. I sighed at the thought I was borrowing her time already, for free.

The air was breezy when we got there; the place I'd usually go to when I have some spare time. I turned off the air conditioning and opened the window beside her to let some fresh air in. She was still sleeping so I didn't bother to wake her up. I took off my coat and wrapped it around her.

It was a plateau that ends in a cliff and was overlooking the ocean. The water often turn a dark orange hue when the sun sets and it was what I wanted her to see. All effort I took went in vain as she spent the time asleep. But I disembarked anyway and sat in the grassland as it danced with the wind.

Sometimes the cliff would beckon me to push myself and plunge to my death. It was a beautiful place to die after all. Its deathly call was still there and has gotten worse since dad died. I've done my best for the past five years so he could be proud of me if ever he wakes up.

But it wouldn't happen anymore.

Time passed and the light drizzle began to pour generously. I slowly walked back towards the car and let myself be soaked. She was still napping comfortably when I returned.
