MEMORIES BY THE SHORE

" Harriet, I love you, more than the moon and the sky, will you marry me? " Hans asked, he is so charming, my first true love who would never give up on me " Y- " *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* " Who in the world knocked at my door so I can slap him/her in the face for interrupting my engagement? " I screamed, that was a beautiful dream, why ruin it? people these days, I badly want to hurt one " Harriet, it's me " I gasped and quickly get out of my bed " Oh Mom, it's you, Hi! " " What is she doin' in here at this time? okay Harriet, fake a smile, fake a smile, this is not a dream, this is a drill Beyonce " " What about your engagement? How's it going? Did you said yes? or you dumped him? " My mom sarcastically asked, "oh gosh, would you mind, of course I'd say yes, my crush is proposing to me! " calm down Harriet, calm down Beyonce " Well, it was just a dream tho, I was about to say yes but you knocked- " My mom clenched her fist " Oh no no no, I'm not blaming anyone, it was just a dream mom, just a dream " "Would've been better if you didn't interrupt" " Well, this is not a dream anymore I assume?right? " I nodded as a response " NOW GET YOUR ASS DOWNSTAIRS AND HAVE BREAKFAST! " you should've seen how she screamed, you know, her face getting all red, she's mon-mon, don't you know what it means, it's monster-monster, yeah, lame, I know. As I chew the last piece of my omelette, on the other side of the table, I can see Mom smiling at me, I find it weird and scary yet I manage to smile back " Harriet, today is? " My father asked, he's smiling at me too, what am I gonna do? smile while eating, how do you do that? " It's Saturday, the day mom interrupted my engagement " Mom's smile instantly faded as I utter those words, what? she interrupted my engagement, that's the truth, oh Hans wait for me dear, we'll get married soon " What engagement, whatever, not that one, can't you remember, it's your most special day " My father asked again, what special day, oh alright! " Today is the most special day because I was supposed to get engage with my true love then someone interrupted, is that it? " I exchanged glares with my mother not until my father started laughing, " It's your birthday dear, why can't you remember? has that 'interrupted-engagement thing' gotten into you so deep, you can't even remember your born day? Ha ha ha " he's turning red because of those loud laughter's while Mom and I are still at the beginning of war " Happy birthday Harriet, sorry about your engagement, might as well go back to sleep so you can continue dreaming about it " she smirked at me, is this really my mom? why is she like that? " You know I love you both so much and I'm so glad I'm your daughter, I'm so blessed to have you two. I love you " they both looked at me and they both began to cry " Our baby is getting old, we love you too " they both said at the same time, are they sharing the same brain cell? " I gotta go to schoo- " before I could finish what I'm saying mother interrupted, again, is that her hobby, what does she get out of it " Oh, darling, there's no school today, storm is coming, watch it on the news " I shrieked and jumped around the living room, NO, I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT! I won't be able to see Hans, My engagement is interrupted, Now I don't have a chance to see Hans again, this storm must be my mother's reincarnated friend, why, why isn't this day going my way?IT'S MY BIRTHDAY BEYONCE! I quickly ran to my room and for hours I laid there thinking how am i going to spend the whole day without Hans, oh Hans! DING DONG DING DONG " Harriet, someone's at the door, can you please check who it is? " why is she sweet now? why? " who dings the dong at this weather, heavy rain falls and everything, oohh might be Hans looking for me " I ran downstairs, straight to the door and slowly opened it and there stood a guy, taller than me " Oh hi, I'm sorry, but may I ask where Ms. Reviena lives? " the guy slowly asked, I like him, calm down now beyonce, Hans will get jealous " Oh, her house is still far, down the cliff, you can come inside and have coffee, wind's too strong might as well rest first then we'll drive you there,hmm? " I suggested, accept it accept it bae " Thank you bu- " mom interrupted, again " Harriet, who is it? " she asked " Oh Mom, some random guy asking where Ms. Reviena lives " then mom appeared behind me " Andrew? What are you doin' here in this weather, come come, I'll make you some coffee " Andrew what?why?who?you know what? " How do you know each other? who is? what is happening? " I curiously asked, what is happening, why? what's this? " You don't remember do you? this is Andrew, your Aunt Laura's adopted son, oh dear, he's your cousin, can't you remember, did you hit your head on something? you keep on forgetting important memories " Yeah, that's funny, how funny moomm " I really don't remember, but whatever, nice to meet you,again, I guess. Oh right, mom can we drive him to Ms. Reviena's house, I told him she lives down the cliff, it's too dark outside now " my mom glared at me, why? ohhhh, I know why now " Ms. Reviena? she lives next door, oh dear, you need rest, go to bed " She laughed at me, what's funny mom? what's funny, wanna share it? " You didn't change Harriet, you didnt. I hope we'll get close, closer than before " he whispered and smiled at me. Man, I'm not supposed to betray Hans but Andrew looks so cute and manly and his smile, he want me dead, that's it, HE WANT ME DEAD!
