The Cases of Love (Casi di Amore)

Case 6

"Honestly, love can be really fun and exciting when we explore it with someone"

Ria's POV

Library.....

Hmm...tsk..I don't get it. I read almost the entire books in here about it but still I have no idea. Meanings, examples, terms, and synonyms still not enough. Arrgh... I'm gonna go crazy and yet I haven't understand a thing about it. I take a peak on my watch and it's already 5:00 pm. I got so hooked on it I forgot the time. I decided to leave since I need to do something.

"-ia" it's very tricky "-ia" confusing and manipulative. It's li- "huh?" I lost in thought when someone grab my shoulder. "Ria! Oi!"

"Emmanuel?"

"I told you don't call me like that. I prefer if you calling me by my first name or better yet your nickname for me. It is wayyy~ a lot better than Emmanuel" - Emman

"Sorry. Where did you come from? I didn't you"

"Yeah. I know. I keep on asking if you want to watch a movie. I got two tickets but weren't listening"
- Emman

"Sorry, Emman. I got plans today. I need to buy a new book"

"You're done reading the 'mentalist'?" - Emman

"Yep. I think you should ask the girl you like, not me. We've been together like since I was born, aren't you tired being with me?" I said to him while browsing at my phone looking for new released books.

"The girl I like, huh?" - Emman

I can see the bookstore already. "That's right. Well then see you later" I put my phone in the bag and walk towards the shop but Emman stopped me. "Wait!"

"What? You keep on grabbing my hand"

"S-sorry. I will go with you. To the bookstore" - Emman

Go with me? "What about the movie?"

"This movie isn't that good, I think and I don't want to go alone" - Emman

"I told you that to ask the girl you like"

His face turned pale. "I-i did but she already have plans for today so she can't"

"Really? When did you ask her?"

"Uhm...a-a while ago. I...uhm...I texted her" - Emman

"Hmm...I see then let's go"

Bookstore.....

I was scrolling at the books trying to find something interesting. I found to books entitled 'how to escape a murder' and 'the art of war', the synopsis and the cover was unique plus the title so I decided to buy it. While paying at the cashier my eyes caught a small book at the side of the book stand. 'how to love'? Could this be what I'm looking for?

It was 6:00 pm when I arrived at my house. After I change my clothes I started to read the book 'how to love'. At exactly 8:00 pm I finish reading it since it wasn't that long and consist only of 200 pages. This book doesn't really answer my question except for the last phrase that was written on the last page. 'Experiencing love is better than imagining it'.
Now, talking about experience....

*Calling Emman's sister*

"Hello,*****"

"Hey, toni~ come here~ I accidentally prepared a lot of food we can't eat all of it. It is such a waste if it'll spoil"

She's an adult but still so careless. "I've already eaten dinner. Sorry"

"Please ~ Matthew wants to see you too~" I heard a loud voice shouting. Why would Emman wants to see me?
