Fan Series #2; Unpredicted Dreams

34; Not Helping

RIOH

"Hey, are we going to the Coliseum later?" I asked, "The kids are already awake and preparing to go..."

"Sure, we'll go..." Zhubao nodded while stirring a coffee, "I'll just take this to Zeyu's room..."

"Why? Coffee? Nah, he doesn't drink coffee unless he's drunk..." I said and gave her a confused look. "Is he drunk?"

"He is..." She nodded and took the mug, but I took it from her, "What are you doing, Rioh—"

"I'll take it to his room..." I awkwardly smiled and walked away, holding the mug, even though I am wearing t-shirt, I was sweating because of how she looked at me. I know that she knows what I am thinking right now,

I opened the door on Zeyu's room and putted the coffee on his side table, "You're drunk..." 

He laughed and stared at the ceiling, "You can't blame me if I still love her, can you? Honestly, I'm disgusted with myself and because I can't even forget her for a moment. Allerioh, I'm ashamed of her and Ji. I'm ashamed of myself, why can't I just let go of her?"

I crossed my arms and then leaned against the wall near the door of his room, "Zeyu, honestly, it's up to you. You decide for how you feel, but if you choose not to let go of her. You really can't, Zeyu, I don't take sides with you or her, but I pity you, I feel sorry for your situation. Please, let go, forget about loving her, she's married, Zeyu. Thats final..."

"I'm trying, but I really can't. I just wish I could just have a tragic accident and gone to a coma, as well as amnesia, so finally I would forget about everything. Especially since I loved her, I'm ashamed of myself." He sighed.

"Drink that coffee, we'll leave soon to go to the Coliseum, there will also be a fireworks display there so the kids are excited to go." I spoke.

He sat down and drank the coffee, "Allerioh, do you believe in the next life?"

I was about to leave but I was stopped by what he asked, I frowned and faced him. "Yes, why did you ask?"

"Because Zhubao told me that maybe this isn't the time for us, maybe in the next life. Do you think it's possible for me to find and remember her if I ever live once again?" he asked with mixed emotions that he really believed what my sister said.

"There is a possibility..." I nodded and left his room.

"Rioh..." It was Ji, "Sorry, but I heard your conversation with Zeyu, is it true that... he still loves my wife?"

I looked at him, sign that he heard it right. "I'm sorry, Ji. But you heard it right—"

"It's fine..." He smiled, "Babe told me that she will never fall in love with anyone else anymore, even in next life..."

It froze me, I don't think that was a promise, but its deep.

She loves him very much, and I do like it.

ZEYU

I wore my winter clothes after taking a warm bathe. 

After an hour travelling, we finally saw the Coliseum nearby, the kids were almost jumping in excitement while me, wearing some earphones to ignore everything, "Uncle!" It was Yong.

"Yeah?" I asked and smiled weakly, "Do you need something?"

"No, I just want you to smile genuinely. You look so sad..." He smiled at me, "Be happy, we are here for you..."

The time we went down, we can see that there is a festival happening in this place. A Circus Maximus, I think there's a gladiator battle tonight, so we are going to watch, we all brought tickets and foods to watch, a VIP seats are reserved for us.

In Rome, the gladiatorial contests were held in the Coliseum, a huge stadium that first opened in eighty (80) C. E. Located in the middle of the city, the Coliseum was circular in shape with three levels of arches around the outside. In height, the Coliseum was as tall as a modern twelve (12) -story building; it held fifty thousand (50,000) spectators.

Like many modern professional sports stadiums, the Coliseum had box seats for the wealthy and powerful. The upper level was reserved for the commoners, under the floor of the Coliseum was a labyrinth of rooms, hallways, and cages where weapons were stored and animals and gladiators waited for their turn to perform.

The Coliseum was also watertight and could be flooded to hold naval battles, special drains allowed water to be pumped in and released. But naval battles were rarely held there because the water caused serious damage to the basic structure of the Coliseum.

It was exciting, the red side wins the fight, there are also animals who had performance for the last part, any minute from now, they are going to release the fireworks display so I took off my earphones and looked up,

The fireworks were released later on, the kids beside us was jumping in excitement. All I see is Yong, Ji, Zhubao, Yeong and Ye who is now smiling while looking at the sky together, it was like their first life because they seem too excited looking at it, also me.

I looked at the fireworks at the sky, I smiled while whispering some words. "I wish to remember this scene once I see fireworks on my next life, I want to remember her in this event, seeing fireworks in the sky..."

After the fireworks display, we went back to the apartment. I sat on my bed and looked at the huge window where I can see the view, but then I heard someone spoke, "I know what you've wished for..."

It was Sheyang, I awkwardly smiled at her and looked at the window again. "I wished for it to remember her on my next life..."

"You really love her, but you should forget about her, she's married. I'll help you to forget about her—"

"You're not helping, Sheyang, if I said that I still love her. That will never be changed..." I frowned and walked away from my room.
