The Mystery Girl

The Party [ Part II ]

The Sky has turned dark once again as it's making the whole neighborhood look even more darker. Since our neighborhood was always quiet, only leaves are left there on the path. The weather doesn't look good today. It's getting very dark by the time I left school and right now a few drops have fall down. Good thing I have my raincoat with me. "What should I brought for her ?? "  Well...Mom always loves Norta's Dad cakes. I should go and brought some for her.

          Standing outside of a small restaurant looking toward to the glass door.

      *Ring!!Ring!!!*

" Welcome to Itria's Bakery!"

A familiar voice that I hear everyday. It was Norta who was shouting with a joyful smile. She always seems so happy with almost everything in every situation.

*Norta* OH! It's you! Hehe! What do you want for your mom today? *

*Thaddeus * As usual, please. *

*Norta* Alright ! Coming right up! *

          As I was paying the bill, Norta started a small conversation with me.

*Norta* Just wanna tell you that today we have a special discount! *

*Thaddeus* Really? How much discount? *

*Norta* For you ? Let's see...  AH HA ! Your discount is 100% FREE ! *

*Thaddeus * What ?! *

* Norta * Hehe ! It's a birthday gift for your mom ! *

*Thaddeus* How did you know ? *

*Norta* Oh! Come on ! Our parents are really close to each other. How could we didn't know ? *

*Thaddeus* Ah... I forgot about that. Sorry for my reaction. *

*Norta* Nah! It's okay! Anyway, did you prepare your costume, yet? *

*Thaddeus* Not yet. There's actually nothing for me to prepare since I'm going to wear the same one from last year. *

*Norta* Man, You no fun at all!!  But it's your choices, I don't mind now. The whole point is to have fun together. That's all we wanted. *

*Thaddeus* Yeah, it is. *

*Norta* Well! Here your orders ! *

Norta handed me a box of carrot cake and greeted me a goodbye as I did the same.
The weather didn't get any better nor worse when I got into Norta's place. And now, it's  worse. So bad that my rain coat couldn't handle anymore as I have to rush home before I get soak from the rain. A few minutes ago , the weather wasn't that much bad , how could it changes so fast? Is the world dying ,right now? Before I could even talk to myself again, I realize that I have ran pass my home. Damn it!
Next time, no more talking to yourself.

Entering my home, I saw some letters in the front door. This is odd. We don't have anyone send letters to us years now. As I look for the sender name, I saw a name that I don't want to hear, don't want to read and don't want to care. I suddenly throw those letters on the couch and went upstair. Why would he send us some letters? Don't tell me that is how he's apologizing to us. I don't even want to care right now. All I care is that, today is mom birthday and I successfully brought her favorite dessert. Now all we have to do is to get ready and wait for her to arrive.

~2hours later~

I just finish another TV show and mom isn't here yet. It's still raining badly outside. Maybe mom wait for it to clam down or she might goes somewhere else? No. Not this year. She already promise me that she wouldn't be there again. She always keeps her promises, right? I don't know. I feel so mess up.
