I can make it right
All right
All right
Ohhh! I can make it right
I sang BTS’s Make It Right as I watch the snow dropping outside the window and was shaking my ass to no one while I was having my morning exercise on the stationery bike in the gym.
On getting off the bike, I still continued my dance, lost in the world of BTS. I am not going to lie, half of what they were singing, I don’t know but listening to their songs is a great distraction to what my life actually is. With my headphone on, it is bye bye to the problems of my life for me.
I twisted, jumped and shaked my body with my eyes closed and the moment I opened them, I saw Maria in my face. I screamed out loud and fell to the ground
She hurriedly helped me up
“Oh my God! I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” she apologized for her insensitivity as I removed the head phone from my head
“It is fine, I should be mindful of my surrounding”
“I am really, really sorry” she pleaded again now to my annoyance
“Maria, what can I do for you?” I changed the subject fast
“Ahh… I wanted to ask for your permission for a two days breaks”
“Two days breaks?” I asked again not trusting my ears.
“Yes, I spent the New Year’s Eve with my family… It is just two days” She clarified when she saw the disapproval on my face.
I really need to work on my facial expression
But seriously, are they planning on leaving me in this big house all alone, to celebrate the New Year’s alone?
“Your family are living in this house, why do you need to spend the New Year’s elsewhere”
“My eldest daughter and her boyfriend are not living in this place”
“Then they can come, invite them over, I don’t bite” I muttered in my desperate attempt to keep her with me
“The point of a vacation is not to work, I would be working if we stayed here”
“Then I would cook, you won’t have to enter the kitchen, at all” I tried again but she let out a heavy sigh.
Living with Maria all these months, I can tell when she is getting annoyed with me and she is right now
This is what Kylian had reduced me to, begging people to stay and celebrate the New Year with me
“You can go” I said in a low voice
“Really?” She replied in an upbeat voice. I nodded
“Thank you. I promise we will be back on the second of January”
I scoffed, that is no longer two days but three, I noted internally
She turned and I watch her practically dance to the entrance, then she turned back to me “Breakfast is ready” I nodded in acknowledgement
I fling the head phone in my hand away in annoyance, then sat on the treadmill disoriented. I have never had to spend New Year or Christmas alone and now I am doing it.
Will this be my new normal?
Been alone....
Marcus is not going to be around, I can't exactly go to Joy's and Fatima's considering our last encounter. Moreover, festivals like this are meant to be spent with families and not strangers
