Hatred's Torment

The Comfort Of Love

Chapter VI

The Comfort Of Love

"Hey Toby wake up damn it!!!!! I'm trying to call you!!!!" David shouted at Toby while he was dreaming. He immediately woke up with his heart beating faster. He heard his phone ringing, and indeed it was David. (That was coincidence!) He thought. Then he picked it up.

"It's already 12 in the midnight Dave, why bother?" He asked.

"Man, evidence number 15! Nat commented on Mat's post!" Dave replied.

"Woah what!? That's enough."

"Dude she's forgetting what she said to us! Remember?"

"Ohh... Her promise... Darn it! What did she say? I can't be online right now, my big brother took my laptop and I can't use my phone."

"Well I can't say that specifically but I'm quite certain that it's all about her entertainment to him."

"Woah I thought she--"

"Yeah that's what I thought too. Sorry for disturbing you to sleep but I find this event disturbing."

"It's alright that you inform me. Now I have the will to let go of her."

"Give up? Woah dude is that you? You're the Tobias that I have never seen giving up no matter how many problems arise!"

"Giving up and letting go are very different from each other David. Giving up on her includes bitterness and hatred. It means that you have a grudge against her for letting her go. Letting go only limits on letting her free from your heart and besides I didn't say give up, I said let go."

"Are you really sure about that? Dude there's still chance!"

"There's no freaking chance!!! I think she had taken a liking to him."

"Well, it's your choice then. Goodnight"

"Same to you..."

They ended their call and then Toby went to sleep. As for David, he was making his story entitled Those Memories which is all about the perspective of a young individual who sees love as a motivation for him to carry on despite all the pain he bears. 

It was a painful night for Toby. He cannot sleep due to what his buddy told him a while back. He kept on imagining the fading image of Natalie in his mind while tears started to flow from his eyes. From the shadows came a man who grabbed her image in his mind. He tried to resist his emotions yet he cannot. He realized at that time that love is a burden to him.

Hatred coated his mind after all those emotional breakouts as if the love he felt turned into hate. He hated Matthew so much. He remembered those times that Matthew always corrects him in a manner of being perfectionist and then embarrasses him after he commits mistake. His sole hatred to him doubled as he browse his memory about him embarrassing Toby, forgetting all the good things Matt had done to him. His surroundings went black out then he had fallen asleep.

The next morning, he woke with all those morning stars on his eyes at 7. He checked his phone, then there were 3 messages. One from JP saying goodmorning as a group message. Same goes with Mandy who also texted goodmorning but with many hashtags. One for 4438. 

He replied at Mandy with "hi...". He tapped the mail icon meaning send. Then he waited for her reply.

"Wats up with dat cold msg of urs? :/" She asked.

"Nothin'. It's just dat I felt broken down :'(." He replied.

"Ooohhh about Nat?"

"Yea..."

"She's entertaining him while we were practicing back then."

"Ikr..."

"Come on! :D Cheer up :) There are many other girls out there waitin' for ya! ^_^"

"Thx for dat... btw pls give me advice about how I forget her. :'( I really feel broken right now..."

"U just have to let go of her thats all :D"

"She doesnt keep her promises. She gave me an advice that she didn't even apply to herself..."

"Toby u have 2 let her go. She'll just hurt u more if u don't ok? :D"

"I'll do my best to do so... Thank you Mandy... :)"

"I'm glad to help :D don't worry Toby I'm always there at ur side to comfort ya ;)!"

"Thank you for that comfort you just gave me :D!"

"No prob best friend!! Gtg we still have practice for the uniweek! ^_^"

"Ok! Careful :D"

Their conversation ended. Since it was a text conversation, he felt a bit light. He though that he would feel lighter if he talked to her personally. He pondered deeply on his thoughts.

He thought that if he will let go of Natalie, then he will be free from the pain that he feels when Matt and Nat are together yet he thought that it will not be the same as last time that they were still close at each other.

It was past noon when he made his final decision, to let her go. It was not easy for him. Yet as hours pass by, he feel entirely different whenever Matt and Nat have sweet moments with each other at Facebook or in Twitter.

It was 6 in the evening when Toby thought of those evidences with David whenever they see Natalie and Matthew hanging out with each other. 

"Hey David, don't inform me with those evidences anymore. It's enough." He texted

He didn't reply back. After 3 hours, in facebook, David chatted "Dude there was another problem!!"

"What is it again Dave?" Toby asked,

"Natalie isn't calling back!! She doesn't text either! Oh no! There must be something bad that had happened to her!"

"What!? Seriously??!! Impossible!" He chatted with a shock on his face.
