Hazel and Mark got to the vending machine area at the roof.
"Coffee, tea, or me?" Mark smiled.
Hazel chuckled. "You, my dear, are so lame."
Mark smiled as he snuggled his head into her hair.
"Yahhh" hazel shook her hair.
"That's only classic. " Mark smiled as he kissed Hazel's right cheek.
Hazel beamed brightly.
"Its been quite a long time before i saw you smile. Its still gorgeous as ever."
Hazel and Mark turned back, only to see Kris.
He was alone, standing beside the bench, and smiling. His lips formed a smile, but his eye's weren't smiling. Hazel felt guilt building up in her. Instinctively, she pushed Mark away. She then cleared her throat. "K-kris."
Kris smiled sadly as tears welled up in his eyes.
"I see.." Kris felt the urge of his tears to be released. But he knew his Ting would feel guilty, would feel bad, he knew how kind she was. And he didn't want her to feel bad. So he turned away.
"Y-yess.." Hazel stuttered. Oh my gosh. How sad is he now...if he really loved me...how sad would he be now.. Kris continued, "i see now that I can't make you happy. Only he could. I see that now. All i brought to you is sadness, bad memories and more hurt. And you have long outgrown that Ting. You are not my Tingting anymore. You don't need me. You are fine yourself. I see that i am unnecessary in your life. 也许当时的离去,注定了一生的错过。(maybe my departure then had determined that we would miss each other forever) " Kris had his tears falling down.
"Fan, dont regret. You did great. You are now famous, you are now successful. And me? I found the right person, and I had overcome the weakness i had then. I no longer hate myself, I no longer detest my flaws and only focus on them. I've learnt to love them, to love myself, and accept myself. Everything happens for a reason, and people only grow in pain. I believe that break up was a lesson, for both you and me. I learnt to be independent, and you've learnt to treasure your loved one. We would both search for our right ones, who just happen to not be us. 还是谢谢你,出现在我的青春里。(thank you still, for appearing in my life)"
Hazel smiled as she ran towards Kris. She backhugged him, warmly and tightly. And this time she was sure, it was out of love and care to an old friend. Mark saw that hug, and instead of feeling jealous, he was happy for her. For him too. For both of them. I hope he finds another girl, that is perhaps as good as Hazel. But not her.
Kris hugged Hazel as his tears fell repeatedly.
"对不起,当时给你造成的伤害. (I'm sorry for the hurt i caused you then.)"
"傻瓜,你自己到现在也在心痛。你承受的伤害不比我少。离开的人,连喊痛的资格都没有。我希望你快乐。你值得更好的人。(Silly boy. You are still hurt right now. The hurt you had was not any lesser than mine. The person who left doesn't even have the right to cry out loud. I hope you would find your happiness. You are worth a girl far better than me."
"I hope you're happy too. I..i would transfer out tomorrow. Stay blessed, and keep in contact. Call me when you need me." Kris smiled, as his tears dried up.
Hazel just nodded.
Kris stood up and left the rooftop, leaving Hazel and Mark in each others' embrace.
As she saw his back view, she exhaled softly. Finally, she put an end to this. Finally, her past is overcame.
Mark knew what was on her mind. He pulled her in and gently kissed her forehead, before rubbing agsinst it a couple times.
