Kao
First were the pillows.
Then the rolled sheets.
Then the random remote controls on the bed side table.
"Kao, stop!"
The guy warned me with his cake stained face.
Oh right, I almost forgot, I also pushed the cake on his face earlier.
"Happy Birthday, Kao!"
I never rubbed my eyes as hard as I did the moment it all dawned on me who the guy, holding a birthday cake urging me to make a wish and blow the candle in front of me was earlier.
I heaved a sigh before I laid face down on the bed and closed my eyes.
"It's just a dream! No! A nightmare! You're just in one of your nightmares. This isn't real. You got all soaked up in the rain and passed out and now your in a hospital trying to get revived you're in a coma yes. This isn't real!"
I was chanting as I kept pushing my head on the pillow with my eyes closed and when I was finally feeling it hard to breath, I looked away to the side still with my eyes closed to gasp for air only to feel the warmth and the light of the candle on my face so I was forced to open my eyes and there, I saw that face again.
I sat up and he followed suit.
No.
This isn't real!
I kept telling myself.
"I'm real. Alright? And only if you could just make a wish and blow the candle then we could talk properly, that would really be nice, Kao!"
He said as he made sure to level the cake on my face and kneeled on the floor.
"And oh, say your wish out loud so I know what to get you, yes?"
The guy was nodding at me to acquiesce but I just stared at him.
This is nuts!
This isn't happening!
But I think it is.
"Alright! Alright! Let me make the wish and blow the candle for you."
He said as he closed his eyes and raised the cake up at me.
"I wish, that, Kao, would snap out of it and realize that all of these were true. Amen!"
He opened his eyes and smiled and even winked at me before he blow the candle.
"Did it work!?!"
He asked and regarded me with his stupid and smiling face and the more I stared at it, the more annoyed and angry I become that I ended up losing my shvt and before I knew it, I had pushed the the cake straight on his face.
This is indeed real!
I heard him groaned and fell on his butt on the floor with the cake crumbling down his face as I jumped off the bed and walked to a corner as far away from him s possible.
"Kaoooo!"
He yelled as he raised the broken candle at me the same time the room brightened.
"This could have pierced through my eyes Kao!"
He was now glaring at me in utter disbelief.
"But it didn't. It got crushed by your face instead. It just goes to show how thick of a face you have you jerk!"
I yelled back as I saw the discarded cake box littered nearby and picked it up to throw at the guy.
"Kao. Wai-."
