Cupid's Portal

Part 2: It Began

As I search for my glasses, I'm getting frustrated knowing how I groped for it on the entire bed and shook every pillow but still haven't been found. This is the consequence for I just let myself slept while reading last night. Meanwhile, on the corner, my blanket hid those specs so good that I just took several minutes of being dizzy blind for finding it.

While feeling ease upon finally having my corrective lenses, my eyes rested on the clock with its short arm pointing at the number ten. Knowing what time already has got me distressed once again as I might missed my class. Panicking I met my calendar which reminded me of our current on-going semester break. What a mess...

Having bad mood, I proceed on cooking my breakfast so I could feel better. Finished cooking, I ate while checking what's going on my social media, which I wished I haven't done for all I've seen there were almost everyone enjoying with their partners. It makes me have a reflection of myself being messy alone meanwhile them were just seem so good.

As I saw the joy from almost of my block mates' picture, I think of a broader idea which that we are all about to graduate in college the next 5 months but I feel like being left behind. It's funny how they all getting and receiving supports from their partners while here I am being a loner still.

I don't understand but somehow, I'm getting curious, or not just that, I must say crave for the feeling of having a significant other as well. Like I want someone to mess with me but in a sweet way, someone to... love me the way I deserved to be love, and the feeling of loving someone. But how can I find someone if I couldn't make myself communicate and interact with anyone. Yeah, enough with this someone thing.

Like other ordinary days, I found myself letting the books entertain me, as I explore new worlds upon reading. But suddenly, I bump in the page that answered my desire. As I continue reading the "Red's Secrets" I found a secret way to have a partner. But it's kinda nonsense I mean, portals? How could this thing possibly work?

As I read for more, my curiosity overcame my thoughts and started on suffusing my mind since this is a secret and it seems so real. I must say, it sounded really nonsense but, "There's nothing wrong in believing, right?" I whispered throughout the void knowing that there will be nothing to lose if I try.

After some minutes of thinking, I decided to try it out. Besides, I'm craving for someone to love me romantically and I guess this is the perfect way to satisfy my wants. Whether it will work or not, I don't care. It sounds fun anyway. I then washed up and get ready to buy the materials needed since I must buy red-colored paper, three red candles and dried red roses. Indeed, all red.

I just walked up to downtown which is not so far from our condominium. Then, I bought the needed materials and decided to tour myself on our town's amusement park. It's boring to go back to my apartment so I'll be treating myself a bunch of street foods this whole noon. I also prefer of having my lunch on the nearest restaurant this prime time and will be back at my apartment by 3pm.

After making fun alone, I finally return home. When arrived, I went straight on the bed to take some rest. While facing the blank ceiling above, I thought of ways on how this portal be done. Since I need an old unused mirror and I don't have such that in here, maybe I'll visit our family's ancestral home which is kinda old so there will be probably a lot of old stuffs there including the needed mirror.

Our family's home was located on the next town, approximately about 315 kilometers away from my current place. Thinking that I need to go on a 2 to 3 hours trip, I decided to pack things up that is good for 3 days for in case the portal will not work, might staying there for a while instead so I can cherish such tiring journey.
