It was a cloudy day. The blue sky was covered by the gray clouds.

Cold breeze was embracing.

I heaved a sigh then roamed my eyes.

"Any last word before she left?" Said by the priest.
One by one, stood in front and start narrating a good words for her until there's no one left other than me.

I can feel their eyes stuck on me but I didn't even flenched a bit.

The priest start speaking words that I didn't bother to Keaton, after a while everyone stood and threw a white rose to her graving coffin and when it's my turn, I walk near and let go the white rose I've been holding a while ago. With blank expression, I walk away.

I can't still accept the fact that she's already gone. If I asked what happened to her she might be here, beside me... But I was jerk. I let my pride swallowed me and now there's nothing I can do but to regret. Wishing for that day to come back.

As soon as I entered my house, I immediately went at my bar section and grab some wine.

Pour, drink, pour, drink then pour and drink. Until I can't no longer hold my grudge and threw my glass.

I pulled my hair as the years I've been holding began falling.

All I do is to sob, scream and regret everything.
Until the dizzy visit me and I fell for it.

"Sir."

"Sir?"

"Sir!?"

I woke up by the voice that surronated.

"Sir, can I have your order?" She asked again.

I tilted my head at her bewildered.

'where am I?' the question that popped inside me.
I scan her she's wearing a waiter uniform holding a pen and paper. "Sir?" She called again.

I woke up in reality and composed myself.
When I look at my front I saw my hand holding a menu.

"Sir-----"

"W-water." I cutted her.

"W..water?" She asked making sure if she had heard clearly what I've said.

"Yes, water." I spoke in a cold way.

"No...ted..." Then she left.

I immediately grab my phone that was placed in my right side and checked the time.

'APRIL 27 2022'

'7: 45 pm'

It's that exact date and time before she start avoiding me.

'Did I travel back time?'

As far as I remembered, I am here waiting for her to arrive.

It is the day I planned to confess. 

My phone suddenly rung.

I checked the I.D. caller and it's her.

As what I remember, after answering her call I found out that she's coming late since an urgent came up, I said 'It's okay, I'll wait' before she hung up.
