BE MY LOSTIE

EPISODE ONE:HEART BURN

Looked lost in contemplation, I strayed through the balcony wondering the reason she had left so inconsiderately.

She had always told me she would leave someday.
Some day she said, and that day had been the day I envisaged to be my "dooms day".

The day I would loose the most valuable asset in my possession.

I had anticipated her leaving but I couldn't believe that day would come so fast. And the day was today.

I struggled to do my regular early morning work outs.
Fifty-five push ups, thirty five press-ups, thirty waist twists, twenty minutes jogging and two minutes bicycle stand was my regular work-out routine.

I couldn't do half of them cause I was bitter. My heart was troubled.

My phone rang, I flipped it open and stared at the unread message alert I glanced at the time on my phone screen.

"Time read 6:22am.
I was stoned when I saw the message was from Ivaz.

"I will miss you Kevin, don't forget your promise... Keep cool Lostie. On my way to the airport"

My heart turned heavy and my hands flove
cold. All my hormones froze, heart beating faster.

Anger took an instant formation inside me.
Especially as I read the last sentence.

I felt a sudden chill which erupted despite the bit of exhaustion that had pulled me to stop my work-out routine.

I stretched and loosened the mini underpants that fitted my pelvis region.
I cleaned and dressed up, slid the phone in my pocket and walked.

"How could she leave like this"... I thought.

Then I wished I had the powers of Chronos (god of time and fate). I would cease the time and make all to still till I had enough of her love and company.

Which might take like forever before i released the time again...I loved her enough to not let her go. I felt sad and exasperated.

I let out a heavy sigh as I felt my phone buzzing again. My heart beat quickened as I felt my stiffened cold hands loosen at the thought it could be her.

Livid or not I wanted to talk to her.

The thought of never speaking to her again made me sick. She was my happiness, my pain-slayer, my bestie.

She was what Jaswil will refer to as "bae".

I poked my hand through my pocket, held my phone out and a feeling of disappointment held me. It wasn't her...it wasn't Ivaz.

It was Jaswil..."talk of the devil"... I could feel tears as they gathered in my eyes. But I wouldn't cry. Ivaz had made me promise her that I wouldn't cry. But I felt pained.

I placed the phone close to my ear... I let out another sigh..

..."hel...hello"... I stuttered.. Waiting for Jaswil to respond. The tears kept gathering.

... "Hello Kev!..., What's ap?, how u doing?"... Jaswil asked.
...tears kept gathering... But I fought them back as I walked back inside the living room.

"she's gone Jas...!, ma Iva is gone".. I said, caressed my left hand against my forehead,
..I held the tears up... The pains I felt locked up the tears. I exhaled, and contained my emotions.

"Oh.! Maan!... just relax aii?... You'll be fine. Its just for a year Man, and perhaps there is still hope, u never can tell, so just relax man"... Jaswil encouraged.

Jaswil was my best pal and has always been there. He was always good with his words, more reason he endeared a lot of people to himself, especially girls.
