In a Glance

Aftershock

'I knew the moment that I turned my back on her, I'm just walking but not living. Though I tried to but it still felt that something's wrong.'

-----------------------------

I woke up with the feeling of someone jumping on my mattress. And when I opened my eyes, I wanted to kicked my bestfriend.

'Krisaaaaaaaa!' I shouted out. That got her jumping out of bed. Gosh, my head hurts badly now.

'Alyyyyyyyyyyyy!' she screamed as well then she hugged me so tight.

'I was genuinely worried. How come you didn't come home on time. Your phone was off and I didn't know who to contact from your groupmates. I won't contact Rhon, knowing you wouldn't want him near you and then out of the blue a handsome brown-eyed man knocks on the door carrying you newly-married style and then he smiled and yeah...'

'and after he smiled, what happened Krisa?' I asked. I was laughing inside becuase her face is soo funny. Hehe..

'He smiled at me.. But I knew he loves you becuase the way he carried you and laid you in the bed and tuck you in and just sat there for awhile and left you both alone and when I came in to check both of you.. He was gone. I didn't even say my goobyes, till we meet again line.'

'Did you just say he loves me? How can you say he loves me? Krisa, my friend your reading too much novels.'

'Nah, I heard him say that to you. I was hoping it was to me, but noooo.. He said it while your sleeping and he even kissed you in the forhead. And yeah, I was checking outside the door on what he would do, cause that's what friends do, creep outside and scare the suitor.'

'He is not a suitor. I don't think he likes me that much. He's really just a good friend.'

'Noo.. Your not seeing clearly Aly, he looks like his got hit by your charm. And the way that he looks at you last night.'

'But did he said anything before he left? Like what else happened last night?

'Hmm.. Yeah, he said he'll be back.Ha!' Krisa said then she laughed out loud caused I slapped her on the arm.

'Not funny Krisa' but I smiled. It feels weird to smile after all that transpired yesterday.

'But seriously, that dude is like head over heels for you girl.'

'So you want him to be my boyfriend?'

'uh-huh, he's much better than Rhon, I actually don't understand why they're best buddies.'

'But...'

'though I have that feeling your hiding something thats why you kept asking if Jake said anything about Rhon. Now,spill.'

Am I that too obvious? Or that my best friend is just good in reading my expressions. So I need let it all out now before my heart bursts out of its confinement.

'I remember everything that I lost.'

'Oh no! That ain't good.' I heard Krisa say this, but what she said after was too soft that I didn't understand it.

'Do you know something?' I asked her cautiously.

'Yes. No. I think so. I don't know.' those were the phrases I heard before she got up and left. I followed her out to her room but she closed her door and locked it. But I waited for her to open it. I didn't say anything, I just sat on the floor and hugged my legs.

After ten minutes Krisa opened her door. I stood up and she put a box down and then hugged me so tight.

'The best decision you ever did before is not try to remember everything because you didn't want to be the same person you were before. I don't want to be biased but you're much better now.' I was speechless. Here I am staring at her like I'm still processing what she had said.
