The black.           By Skillet

When I got Tee's phone call it’s a matter of forcing P’Rose to let me go to the funeral. I had to talk to P’Tae. What I didn’t expect was for P’Rose and P’Pete to accompany me. I think it’s more to do with preventing me from having any interaction with Bas than paying last respect to P’Jane.

I knew Bas was going to be there. I didn’t want to talk to him. I wanted to pretend that we didn’t shared something intimate in the past. It would be easier for both of us. And it was harder than I initially planned. The moment I saw him it was difficult to focus o on anything else. So I wore my shades to hide from the world that I was staring at him longingly the whole time.

When I saw him run away crying I couldn’t stop myself from following him.
“Where are you going?” P’Pete tapped my hand. I showed him my phone indicating that I was going out to take a phonecall. I saw Bas disappear among trees and followed him discreetly.
He was leaning back on a tree trunk, his eyes squeezed shut. I wanted to touch him. Take him in my arms and comfort him like how things used to be. But I don’t think that I’m entitled to do that anymore.
“Hey” I called him softly. He gave a violent start, I almost hugged him to calm him down. His eyes widened seeing me beside him.
“You alright?” He nodded lowering his eyes. Why are you hiding your beautiful eyes from me? Please look at me. Loosing my patience and forgetting myself I touched his chin to tilt his face up.
“Bas?”
“Yeah?” He looked at me. His eyes still shining with tears. Is he crying because of the funeral? Or did I hurt him badly? I tried to decipher his emotions. Then he pushed my hand away. My hand fell to my side limply.
“I’m fine.” He mumbled inaudibly and straightened up getting ready to leave. I wrapped my fingers around his upper arm. I can’t let him leave yet. I want to know. I really do. Call me a douchebag but I want to know he was still hurting after what I did. Leaving him after promising the sun and the moon.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going back inside.” He tried to tug my hand free but his strength is no match to mine.
“Wait, Bas. I’m not talking about the funeral. How are you doing?” I have no guts to word out what I did to him. He gave me a flat look, I almost staggered. It’s the most insensitive he’d been with me and I totally deserved it.
“I’m really fine P’Godt. You don’t need to worry about me.” He tried to tug his arm free again. “Can you please let go of me?” He looked rather angry now. All I wanted to do was make him feel better. Now I’m making everything worse.

“You better do as he says.”
I looked up. It was P’Kim and he looked angry. I don’t dare mess with angry P’Kim. Besides this is a funeral. I don’t like to disrespect P’Jane’s memory by picking fights. So I let go of Bas hand and stepped back. I watched him leave and I felt this unbearable loss tugging at my heart. I slipped in my shades and went back to join others.
