A Four-Letter-Word Called LOVE (COMPLETE - ENG Translation On-Going)

Act Thirty-Two

Mhairi:

~Insert~

"I'm way beyond flattered if you do. I'll be so delighted that you have a big crush on your Ate Mhairi. It only means that I'm your first ever crush and not your future girlfriends. You're still young. You're going to meet loads of women when you grow up aside from me."

T-That—That wee boy again. Why am I hugging him? And—

And why am I uttering those bewildering words to him?

"Even if that happens, I hope you remember that I'm always here. I'm always here waiting for you to grow up so that I could tell you these feelings I have since you came into my life."

*Mhairi's wide-eyed, dumbfounded gaze is still beaming at the young boy sleeping with his head on her chest*

"I love you. I've always loved you more than you'll ever know."

I love who? Why am I saying those words to him?

"You will always be the only one for me and no one else. You will be the one and only man that I will love for the rest of my life."

"Ate Mhairi—"

*The surrounding abruptly shifts from a bedroom into a broad, busy street with loads of people piling at the pavement while Mhairi sees a young boy stranded in the middle. Her gaze caught a speeding bus coming towards the said boy*

Oh my God—No.

Someone—Please, someone, take the wee boy out of the road!

"Chris!!! Chris, where are you?!"

Chris? Why am I calling Chris' name?

"CHRIS!!!"

*A horrifying scene immediately shows up right in front of Mhairi's eyes, seeing herself running on the road towards the petrified young boy standing in the middle of the road. She pushed him on the pavement while a blinding light shone all over her*

Bright. It—I-It so bright.

*A blaring, resounding honk from a huge vehicle quickly surrounds*

"ATE MHAIRI!!!"

"Chris—"

"Chris."

I quickly open my eyes while feeling jolted from the loud, deafening horn. My head suddenly hurts as soon as I sit straight. I groan in pain from this minor headache while slightly putting my palm over my forehead. I close my eyes for a brief moment while recalling this weird dream I had. Those bizarre visions rapidly daunt me that made me bewildered and confused at the same time. I couldn't comprehend who I'm saying "I love you" to while calling Chris' name amid the horrific accident. His name constantly echoes and howls like a gentle breeze through my ear.

I mean, why does Chris always pop up every time a few snaps of my lost memory haunts me like a thief in the night? Or is it the fact that he's now slowly sneaking his way into my stubborn heart since we got stranded?

Ugh! Would you please leave that silly thought for now, eh, Mhairi? You're not even sure yet if you're falling for Chris or you're just missing Markus; that's why you've been turning your attention too much on this young lad lately! Keep your head on, and do what's right, yeah?
