Obscured Tale of Delilah Sy

Louie

Chapter 2

Louie

I woke up early in the morning with a beautiful smile on my face though my hair is messed up. Saliva scattered around my mouth but still I feel beautiful because I had a great moment last night. I felt that this day will be another memorable and perfect day for me.

I blushed whenever I think of last night's kiss, it was so wonderful.

Woof! Woof! Woof! My little buddy's greet me a sweet morning. 

"Good morning Steven" he licked on my cheek and sat on my lap then I hugged him tenderly.

"I wish dogs can talk" I whispered at Steven's ears and caressed his soft fur. I put him down and messed up with him for a while.

"But it would be a little crazy if dogs can talk, right Steven?" I let out a small laugh and Steven barks the whole time agreeing to the thought, I assume.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I wore my favorite dress, no jeans nor big tees for today. I just wanted to feel the grace of being a lady. I smiled at myself looking at the mirror and saw my reflection. The sun rises and its shines through my face. I covered my face with my hand and walked through the porch outside.

"Hey Steven! What do you think of my outfit? Do I look gorgeous?"

Woof! Woof! Woof!  

"Good, I will be going now okay? I'll be back. Love you!" and I bid goodbye.

Steven is my best friend. Though he is a little dog, for me he is my remedy when I am in misery.

"Good morning Delilah"

"Good morning Mrs. Stanford, how are you today?" I asked her while I piled up her newspaper stand on her coffee shop.

"Well, I am great. How about you young lady? You look so happy today, what's up?"

"Oh, thank you for that heart warming compliment of yours Mrs. Stanford but I do not have enough money to pay for that compliment." I joked and we both laughed.

"But seriously, I am happy to see you smile, I hope everything is really doing fine with your life now Delilah, I am only praying for your happiness."

I was touched, hearing her alluring words lift my spirit up once again. I felt happy because there are still people who cares for me, people who thinks I am important. She is truly amazing. Then she hugged me and brushed my hair with a smile.

"Thank you, I wish for your happiness too Mrs. Stanford, I have to go and see Louie. I will be visiting you next time." I waved my hand and finally I said goodbye.

Mrs. Stanford, the only person who makes me feel that I am worth to live. She is 74 years old, yet she is still so strong. I really learned a lot from her, with all those mysterious stories about life after death. 

I passed the second street and here I am now. Standing outside the university he is in.

I felt sad again and blank space; thinking  about my past after everything that happened to me. Everything was out of nowhere, I don't know why of all people, why is it me that needs to suffer? I don't know how to deal with that situation, if not because of Louie's family then I think I would still locked myself inside my room until now, punishing myself the whole day, starving myself to death because of the thoughts of me thinking my life has no use anymore.

That tragic memory became my nightmare every night.

"Hey what's up baby?" An unfamiliar voice said, I was back to my senses when a guy is hitting on me, he got two guys with him.
