The love we have, it's beautiful, so simple but yet complicated, although there were bumps in our relationship we fixed them and continued being happy together. It was love like no other, the type of love that will make you want to break your neck if you'd see us in public. Cringe, I know, but I loved it, every minute of it, waking up and seeing her face first thing in the morning.
We're both very adventurous, we always want to be out of the house doing either something stupid or something stupid. We have a nice apartment but it's like we barely stayed it in. We always took drives and listen to music in my Toyota GT86, she loved how fast that car was on the highway, I would hold her thigh every time I went over the speed limit which is 160km/h, I don't read those signs lmao, I just vrooooom! We would go on camps in her Jeep Wrangler and every time we would have to get Mcdonalds, oh my gosh, Mcdonalds was her favorite. We'd take walks on the beach, I remember when we went to Muizenberg beach at around midnight I think we were drunk, anyways we were laughing our asses off and then a coast guard chased us off the beach, she even fell over face flat into the sand. My stomach hurt from laughter. That was a night to remember.
We made each other very happy, never separated, she was the talkative and funny one. I loved listening to her rants, gossips, or just her talking about herself and how beautiful she is, as she should. She was all that I wanted, I know we aren't perfect but she was perfect for me and I'm glad I waited long enough for her. We're always there for each other, through everything. I remember we watched a horror film about a possed lady coming out of the shower and ever since then she's been soo scared. I have to stand in the bathroom with her whenever she goes in there and if I'm not at home then we'd call each other. Before the movie, she said, "Nah I'll be good, I won't get scared". Lmao, stop the cap.
Well, we're going for her family dinner in Muizenberg and I want to run some quick errands there as well, so we spent the day in Muizenberg. We went for coffee at bootleggers, after that we bought items around Muizenberg, while our bikes were getting fixed. After completing our errands we decided to head to her family's house, her mother is the best cook ever. We took a stroll through the village, I little place in Muizenberg with lots of colorful houses and graffiti.
We're talking about the most catchy and cringy pick-up lines, I went first by saying, "call me a shampoo bottle because I'll always fall for you". She replied, "oh that's smooth but mine is better, ok this one is for boys but meh, You know what I and hulk have in common? we love to smash". The most terrible pickup line I've ever heard, we laughed so hard that the residents probably heard us. I held her hands and kissed her, I couldn't believe I was with someone so amazing. We continued with our cringy pick-up lines.
As we reached the end of the joint road, a black car pulled up in front of us. Two guys jumped out of the car, one was tall and wore all black and the other was short and wore all black except his white vest, he seemed scared for some strange reason, they wore full-face masks, gloves and demanding to hand them everything we have, the tall one held us at gunpoint. I told her to stay calm, run far, and record what happens next, well she didn't listen to me.
Thanks to self-defense training, I fought the masked men, in our fight over the gun he misfired 5 shots, 2 bullets missed and 1 bullet hit her in the knee, she fell helpless to the ground in agonizing pain. The short man retreated to the vehicle and shouted to his friend to retreat as well. My vision turned blurry then everything went pitch black. I felt something I haven't felt in a long time, this feeling felt very ominous, very scary, like a demon I thought I buried years ago at that time I lost control of myself. I fought the man with the gun, breaking his knee caps and his arm that held the weapon. As he fell onto the floor in pain and in that moment, I lost sight of everything else around me as a held the gun towards the man on the floor. I shot him in the head twice.
I gained a bit of vision and searched all around me for her, everything was distorted and a train-like siren went off in my head. I looked forward and I saw her in the back seat of the vehicle the thieves pulled up in. I limped towards the moving vehicle as fast as I could realizing that she was getting kidnapped, every moment with her flashed before my eyes. I couldn't hear anything, everything was blurry, my mind stayed focused on her. He drove wildly more like in zigzag and she tried her best to get out but it was no use, it seemed the man thought ahead and locked the doors. I aimed for the man and shot him in the head. His body added weight to the acceleration. Out of control the vehicle drove and crashed onto the railway.
I felt as if I was losing breath, I picked myself up to save her. Ears ringing, heart beating fast as I saw her screaming from the back seat of the vehicle, she pointed at something. I fell to the floor and looked down, blood was flowing out of my stomach staining my white t-shirt. I had been caught in the misfire as well. With 2 bullets in me, I was losing blood quickly. Vision blurring, ears ringing, and losing breath quickly. I ignored my pains to save her. But I was too late, I watched as a by-passing train vigorously drove into the vehicle, setting it on fire. Killing the love of my life.
I fell to my knees as a watched the vehicle burn, crying and screaming, replaying every moment I had with her. With tears and blood overflowing out of me, I couldn't do more but lie there and stare at the blue sky. Millions of questions and memories ran through my head, as a slowly blacked out. Hoping that everything was just a bad dream. I guess I wasn't ready to accept that it was the end.
"I'll be with you to the very end"
"we going to get married and have such cool kids"
"you're perfect for me"
"did I make her happy?"
"Babe I heard something in the shower again"
"where to now, heaven or hell"
"I want to see her again"
"you cringe, but I love that about you"
"you're mine forever"
"I miss you"
"I love you"
