Once Upon A Wedding

|twenty six|

After writing this, I officially declare this book as the craziest thing for me.

•••••••••••••••••••

"ONE MORE!" I SNAPPED AT THE VENDOR who looked at me in wonder. His eyes darted to my right and then to my left, they settled on me with shock.

I glared at him once again.

Lowering his eyes, he passed my 4th ice cream and I slammed the money on the counter, storming away. It was as if I wore red glasses and hence all I saw was red.

Eating the ice cream, I felt my teeth chatter a little and my tongue go numb as I took a bite from the cream like a psychopath. I sat right in front of the Ice cream shop, eating it as if it was supposed to suppress the pain in my broken heart.

Heart which I always protected. A heart that I allowed to yearn for someone. A someone who turned out to be a total asshole.

He came after me, muttering sorry again and again. He chased me down the snake until I raised a storm and asked him to leave me alone.

I didn't see him again and it was good for him. I purchased a pair of scissors from outside in case he needs to be stabbed.

I cried.

Not like someone died for sure, but for my stupidity. I knew this liking thing hurt, but I still gave myself the liberty to like someone who was totally out of my league. Expectations always ended in disappointment but I thought this would get us somewhere, and look what happened.

What was I even thinking when I brought him here?

What was I thinking every time we kissed?

I was in a delusion that I might finally care about someone. And finally, someone might care about me too.

I still foolishly care about him but I can't say if he did. He probably didn't since he didn't show his face for 2 hours.

I waited for him. Of course, I was mad at him but I wanted him too. I wanted him around me. I wanted him to talk to me. I would've pushed him away but I would also held him back. I would've yelled at him but I would apologize to him.

Only if he was here.

I bowed my head, hiding it behind my bangs, and blew my nose which was now red. I was a mess.

Cleaning my face, I looked up and took a kick of ice cream. I didn't let my day be ruined and strolled around in the zoo like I usually do on Sundays back in my home. It was my favorite place. Looking at the animals gives me a sense of hope and jealousy too.

They are so lucky, all they have to do is eat, sleep, and stare at weird people. That's it.

Such a nice way to live life.

No family drama, no food or job issues, and of course no love issues or anything.

"Can you share some ice cream with me?" I heard a little boy approach me while I was devouring the delicacy. I blinked at the kid, taking in his cute features. He seemed to be of 5 to 6 years.

"Are you alone?" I asked once I blinked three times at him to confirm if he was speaking to me. He seemed to be from a decent family since I found his dressing was cute.

He shook his head, "No. I came with my mum and papa but I don't know where they were. Can you share your ice cream with me?"

"What do you mean you don't know where they are? Didn't you try the magical trick?" I asked, licking my ice cream.
