(short story.)

•UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN•

I am here right now at my old school,i can't help but to notice those stares that every student has given me. Its not new to me because since i was young,every people who sees me will stop and stare at me.

I was just walking and walking until i reach the place,a special place where we used to spend most of our time back in our days.I slowly put the red roses that i buy before coming here at the bench and i turned my attention to the beautiful sky while i was thinking the old days that we spent together.

"Khalil."

I slowly turned my attention when i heard someone's calling my name. As soon as i turned my attention i saw my old friend,he was standing next to me while glaring at me.

"You must be wondering,why i am here,how did i know that you will be here."
he said. " I already predicted it,that you will be here,every year of her death anniversary. Its been a years and yet you here you are,still cannot move one to what happened in the past."

Upon hearing his words,I can't help but to laugh and i slowly stand up and face him.

"Past?Move on?"
I said while looking at him."I may be successful right now but it doesn't mean that i already forget the past that keeps on haunting me ! I fucking love that person--the person who died isn't just nobody--Its the woman whom i wanted to spend the rest of my life with !"

"I know."
he slightly whispered.

"You already know but why?"
i can't help to asked him. "Why did you have to do that?you knew,y-you fucking knew but you just ignored it because you prioritized your lust,you dumbass ! You prioritized it instead of thinking that the woman you raped is the woman that your friend wants to spend his life with."

"I'm sorry."

I chuckled upon hearing it. "You're sorry?Don't make me laugh,do you think that your sorry can bring back what happened in the past? No matter how many times you go back in jail,what happened in the past will stays at the past,it doesn't change the fact that,that day,t-that fuckin day,you didn't only took a one life away from me."

"W-what are you saying? W-what do you mean?"

"that's right."
i replied. "it is what you were thinking,you didn't only took a one life,you took two! You take the life of a child who's yet not even born !"

I can't help but to burst my tears upon remembering what happened that day.That day,i was representing the philippines in china in taekwondo competition and i won.

It was such a great news for me and especially for her and as a reward of winning the competition,she sent me a message saying that she was pregnant and it makes me feel very happy that's why i excuse myself at the party and hurriedly took a flight to the philippines.

It took an hours before landing in the philippines and as soon as the plane landed,i took out my phone and open the message that my girlfriend's mother sent me and that message literary break the whole of me.

FROM : TITA YNA.

IJO,YANA'S GONE AND WHILE WE BRING HER TO THE HOSPITAL,SHE KEEPS ON SAYING THAT SHE'S VERY PROUD OF YOU AND YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY BECAUSE IF YOU TWO WILL EVER MEET AGAIN BY CHANCE,SHE WILL BE THE HAPPIEST."

Until we meet again.
