(rain drops falling on the roof)...
Hi. It is raining here now. And I’m feeling really sad. I don’t know if it is because of the weather or because I already miss him a lot. (sigh) I feel lazy tonight but I shouldn’t be because I have to go in the “Annual Conference for Writers”. I just hope something good will happen tonight.
Before I get ready for the event, would you like to know my story? I meant, my LOVE STORY. Will you be my friend tonight?
Oh! By the way, my name is Sehunnie. J So, are you in?
… … …
Well, it started 5 years ago. I was in senior college that time. I was a hopeful communication student, hoping to graduate and find a better job for my family. You know, I want to be a reporter someday. That is my biggest dream ever. My mum, my dad and my older brother are very supportive to whatever I want to achieve. And I feel very blessed having such family.
Until all my dreams just fall down. I was in the mid-year of schooling that time. Monday morning, I was in school, preparing for a presentation that was assigned to me. Suddenly my mum called,
“Something happened to your dad.”
“What?! What is it mum? What happened?”, I answered. That time I was thinking so negatively. But every time bad thoughts come into my mind, I erase it right away.
“Sehunnie, your dad...”, mum was already crying so hard. Hearing her brittle voice while trying to say those hard words, make up my mind of what really has happened.
“What mum?! Just say it! Just say it! For God sake!” Then mum cried like she was about to faint.
“Sehunnie, your dad is dead! He’s dead…”
I can’t feel my heart beat anymore. I can’t hear anything. I can’t speak a word. It feels like my blood stops flowing. It feels like my whole world is falling.
“Sehunnie, it’s your turn now! Sehunnie! You should be inside now!” my bestfriend Anna said. She was shaking me so hard.
“Fuck off!! Fuck off!! Just fuck off!!!”
Then, I slammed on the floor. My tears fell down so hard. I shouted out my pain. I hit my head on the wall. I punched the wall using my both hands. Yes, it hurts but there’s nothing more painful than losing my dad.
My classmates pulled me up and tried to stop me for hurting myself. My bestfriend Anna, who was very shock of what I have said to her, picked up my phone. Mum is still on line,
“Sehunnie, baby! Sehunnie… calm down please… Stop please.”
“Auntie, this is me Anna. Don’t worry now. I’ll take care of Sehunnie. I’ll bring her home.”
***********************************************
We were on our way home, Anna and I. I was staring blankly on space. Anna was pressing my shoulders. I was very thankful that I have Anna with me. Suddenly, our taxi stopped, my consciousness brought back. It was him, in front of the taxi. The guy I always hate. The most arrogant man I have ever known. His name is “Kris”.
Kris always shows to people if he likes a girl. Unfortunately, Kris likes me. I can’t say I’m lucky because he likes me. But everyone is saying I’m lucky. I know it’s because, Kris is rich, powerful and very handsome. I admit, if I were just to look on his face, maybe I would have been said ‘YES’ to him. He is perfect when it comes to physical appearance. He is tall, white-skinned, oval-shaped face, small mouth, pink lips, fierce eyes and perfect eyebrows. But I don’t look at those attributes. I prefer to have a boyfriend who is poor, not so handsome but humble and has dreams in life.
