As I ran myself away from the bar, I couldn’t help but cry.
Why life had started to become rough to me? Recently this morning, I just felt so nice. A typical lady about to do her typical routine. But as I’m now running having no idea of where to head, I felt like the unluckiest lady living. It seemed like I have been carrying all the bad things in life. Why does life suddenly become like this to me? I just want a better future together with my family! Life, why suddenly became rough to me?
After running for almost five minutes, I decided to stop. I then started catching my breath. I looked around trying to figure myself where I am at the moment. It seemed like I have went to an unfamiliar place as I run away from the shame I caused to myself in the first place. In a narrow foot walk, could be seen vacant lots both to the left and to the right. Lampposts are what could be seen illuminating the place. Trees, plants, and grasses are the only living things that could be seen on both sides of the footwalk.
Where am I now?
“Got lost?”
From having my sight at my front, I slowly turned to my back when I heard someone speak on there. I find the voice so manly and familiar. But could it be?
My eyes quickly narrowed upon finding out what I had in mind is exactly the same as what I am seeing at the moment.
Standing straight is the same man I encountered on the road earlier. He still wears that stern look and the only difference I noticed to him is his eyes. They are now exposed to me. Recently, he was wearing that aviator sunglass.
Now that he had his face fully revealed I find him much more handsome. But how? I make sure I ran as fast as I could. But why he still caught up to me? Why did he even catch up to me in the first place?
Way back in that bar, I thought the remainder of the day would become nice finally. Like nothing bad would happen to me anymore. But I was wrong. While I am busy offering cigarettes to every individual I passed by, my eyes went to the two people who stand up from being seated on the couch in my front. I was so shocked upon seeing the same man earlier. I thought I would not going to see him. I thought, he was a one-time encounter. I thought, he already disappeared like a bubble in the thin air. But why, why, why? And so as a decision for him not to see me, I tried to walk myself away from him. I took a step backward. But what I thought would be the best thing to do to hide my presence from him, I was wrong. What happened next, even made me being discovered. And he really discovered me!
Damn!
Based on my last look at my wristwatch, the time was 7: 58 in the evening. Could this night get even worse?
“Y-you…” I said in a low and stuttering tone.
“Do you expect anyone to come follow you?” the man asked me in a stern way. The distance between us was more or less four steps from each other. He continued, “Yes, this me the guy who almost bumped you because of your clumsiness. And guess what? I am here to lecture you again. You haven’t yet learned your lesson, eh?”
Here it is again…
From facing the man, I brought down my stare to look at the pavement where I stood.
“Oh come on,” the man said as if insulted with what I did. He continued in a slightly angry tone, “Look at me in the eyes, clumsy Lady! It is not your day had been ruined so don’t play pity in my front. You’ve made me involved in this. So bear my presence being here slapping a realization to you!”
From the ground, I faced back the man. His eyes are lovely to look at even when his face was displaying an angry countenance.
“I’m sorry, Sir…” my only reply. After that, my sight becomes blurred. Tears are what surfaced in my eyes again.
“And that same line again! Clumsy Lady, you really need to be born again. A lot from you is a mistake. Where did you come? You seemed had been born in the outer space!”
I made no reply because he had a point. I was clumsy and at the same time when I have done something wrong, I just said ‘I’m sorry’ and would act nothing as if that apology was very sincere. Which isn’t right in those cases where the person you have done a mistake really got angry. Yes, you still speak apology. But aside from that, the right thing to do, you should tell or do something that will lessen the anguish of this person to you.
“Please, don’t tell me you are about to cry!” the guy said.
“No, Sir,” I quickly replied. I then wiped both of my eyes.
“Good!” he replied. “I don’t want to comfort someone. Moreover f it is a stranger. Now, answer this another question of mine. Do you know where you are at the moment?”
I smiled before revealing, “No, Sir.”
The man didn’t quickly reply and spent several seconds looking at me. At that moment I felt intimidated by his stares. Like I was very exposed.
I just felt relief when he blinked then started speaking once more, “Come follow me.”
“Where?”I immediately replied. What he is talking about?
The guy gave me a disbelief stare as if really surprised with what he heard from me. He then heaved a deep sigh before speaking, “Please, don’t prolong this conversation, lady. I have enough of your clumsiness. I have already spent several more or less an hour dealing with it. Now, please think straight. I have clarified earlier, I don’t want to have s*x with you. Now, why would I say you come follow me other than getting you home safely?”
I got frozen with what he said. I gulped when I saw him clench his jaws. I spoke, “Thank you, Sir.”
He replied in a sarcastic tone, “You are very welcome, clumsy Lady. I thought you would say another sorry!”
From where we are, the guy guided me going back to the public road. From there, he called a taxi. He let me in and told the driver that I was the worst lady he had encountered and so the driver should take many precautions on the road. As I watched him watch the taxi as it sped off, I smiled at the thought that the guy was not only handsome but also a caring one.
I think I had a crush on him.
When I would be seeing you again, Mistern Aviator?
