THE STORY OF US

CHAPTER TWELVE-PLAN THE TRIP

Okay where are we going her mood changed, she felt all happy within a second of my response and I was glad I made the right decision, it’s a surprise okay and with that, I ended the call leaving her to continue with whatever she was doing though I wasn’t happy going but I felt like there are some things I couldn’t change just yet so I decide to let it go for now.

For the very first time in all my years of living, I couldn't come up with a plan, this was our first date well maybe not our first date since we are yet to be an item, but still, I needed it to be perfect because this was the day, I planned on telling her how I felt.

I needed it to be perfect needed me to be perfect, the setting has to be perfect the occasion has to be perfect but I couldn't think of anything, I had only today to think of something to produce something an event that would last for a few days three to be precise but what do I have nothing, I got nothing for the first time I have nothing.

looking at myself feeling all pathetic for I had become an architect who couldn't use his brain well to think, like a site worker who couldn't tell where to fix.

I had become so useless that I couldn't even think of something special to keep her smiling what a loser I am if I couldn't pull this off then how would I be able to keep her mind away from her pain how would I be able to keep her attention only on the good memories and not the bad if I can't think of something now.

I haven't felt so useless like this since the day my poor sweet mother passed away, “rest in perfect peace mama”, I craved the word no something I hated my whole life, a word I hated so passionately that I couldn't bear letting anyone tell me, now look at me wanting so bad to tell myself no, no your mind can’t be blank, no you have to think of something, even after hating it so much I still wanted to hear it my heart wanted to hear it.

Curved lips a smile creaking on my face I popped out of bed laughing all around, around the room feeling all proud of myself, have got it, I finally came up with something yes this is it my perfect plan the perfect plan.

It’s all popping into me like a dried golden yellow corn thrown into the heated oil and popping out white into the most perfect taste, it felt just like that.

I could feel it, every souring taste of its delicacies, setting out the perfect setting creating and visualizing it all in my head, every single play set out in my head in perfect order and I was the mastermind of it all.

I called up John pouring it all out to him and making sure he took details of every single word I was throwing out to him; I know how weak a human mind could be for even a second wasted could be very bad for me.

I couldn't hold myself responsible if I forgot even a single detail of my plan, calling john up to take note and write down details was the best option I’ve got, you know what they say two head are better than one he might even have something to add up, something to take out only by him being here is a good thing to me.

A plan so perfect was what I foreseen, giving her the best memories of her life with in this few days was what I hope to achieve, creating a memory box in her head that would keep her going forever, keep her going whenever she remembers her past, her past life, the sad and hurtful life, the life that brought her nothing but pain and hurt, I wanted to take it all away, every hurt in her heart I wanted to take it all away, filling it all with joy and happiness making no space for pain was my biggest goal, everything she failed to do due to the tragedy that life had befallen on her.

Looking back at how lonely she felt, all alone in the tennis court, holding back all those pain and anger and sadness in her heart venting no frustration while dying inside, no I would never let her feel such way again, no such loneliness cannot find its way into her heart I can’t let it I won’t even if I have to walk by her side all day long I would because nothing hurt me more than seeing her look that way, watching her feel that way, I would make them dissipate into nothing.

I would make them just a memory if I can’t make her forget it I would make them just a memory of the past replacing them with a new memory a memory that won’t make her cry a memory that won’t make her feel any lesser than she already felt.

I would hide them into a shadow and make visible a memory that I would create with her, a memory filled with happiness love and laughter I would make her smile all her life if I have too.

I would never leave her side to let her feel such way again not even once, I would be the hand she holds onto when she feels lonely, the body she vents all her anger when she is angry, the heart she comes up to when she feels sad and alone, the lifter of all her depression I would be all that.

If I can’t stop all that pain from coming or in case, she encounters them again I would be there running up to her to hold her hands hug her tell her it would be just fine, and then hug her if she ever needs it again making her know that she is not alone making her know that have got her and am never letting her go again.

I would always stand by her turning that sadness into a burst of enormous laughter I needed to be there for her and I felt the only way for that to happen the only way I can always be there for her is if there was never an excuse for her to leave, so this has to be perfect for my plan to come out well yielding the best result ever.

Stating out my plan to John as he jots them down briefing him on every detail putting it all in my head at the perfect angle and giving it all to him, giving him every bit of encouragement he needs for these few days would be a tough one for him with the time so short to prepare it was going to be a nonstop twenty-four hours brainstorming, stressing preparation, it was a tough one for him the toughest assignment I had ever given him and I needed him to be at his best given it all he has got even if he has to stress every bit of energy he has in him to make this work i wouldn't mind he was all i have got the best man for this mission aside from me but I am too busy staying by her side the whole trip that I wouldn't have time to do anything or be of help so I needed him and I needed it to be perfect for her sake.

Day one finally here, and I have it all planned out a nice refreshing tour under the cool breeze spying on every bit of beauty that lies in Korea ending it all under the dazzling stars on the busan beach watching the fireworks bloom into different colors as it is shot under the dim light of the full moon which comes out only once every week in the beach and today was that day.

I had it all planned out in my head and planned out for the day and all that was left was to get her to Korean on time as fast as possible for the fun to begin, everything was set in the perfect order at a specific time, time for landing, time for the breath-taking tour, time for the picnic all set in the perfect time, I was the mastermind and john was the best man to execute the mission.
