Chapter 24: Upcoming visit (part 4)

Jilliane washed the dishes and cooked for lunch. She was really annoyed that Roger is around. He was so persistent and giving all the sorts of everything just to make fun at her. But good thing, all the ideas that came to her mind was already on her work and it gave her happiness.
After cooking and preparing lunch, she saw Roger on the bench laying his back and reading a book. She went on her working desk and noticed that the  computer is off.

"Roger...did you turn off the computer?"

"Yeah!" He said and approached her.

"Did you...save what i've typed before you shut it down?...

"...save?.." Roger asked which means to her that he did not saved her work.

Jilliane felt so embarrassed..

"Why didn't you saved?!...did you know that work is very important to me?" She yelled at Roger. She felt embarrassed and wants to cry.

"I didn't know!...it's been a couple of hours since you started working on that computer!...you left it and cook... It's a waste of electricity!"

"I left it because you demand that i must cook  for lunch!" Jilliane again yelled. "If only i knew that you will going to turn it off, i must have save it first!"

"Is that fuckin' work the only thing you're getting angry at?! Here...i saved it! I'm not as stupid as you!" Roger slammed a disk card.
Jilliane suddenly stopped and looked angry at Roger. Suddenly big roles of tears came down on her both cheeks. She was so mad at him for she never want herself to be an object of fun of anyone. Roger on the other hand was hit by the realization that maybe he became that so mischievous towards her.

"Hey...why are you crying?" He asked.

"You're so too much! I'm mad at you!" Jilliane walked out and  left Roger. She went on her own room and locked it and she cried.

Roger on the other hand felt guilty on what he did. He regret making fun of Jilliane. Now he acknowledge that he had hurt her feelings. He suddenly remembered his childhood friend who was fragile like her. He do not know why, but he was not been that affected when someone especially girls cried in front of him before. It's been a very long time since he was been affected by a girl's cry...the latest was his childhood friend way back 20 years ago...and now Jilliane did and he doesn't know why. He walked upstairs and approached her room and knocked on her door.

"Jilliane...Jilliane...please open the door..." He said but she didn't  answer.
" I said open the door...let's talk it over....well...ok...I'm sorry ...it's my fault..!.. Jilliane...Jilliane!!!" He continues to knock on the door. Then suddenly the door opened.

"What?!" Jilliane annoyingly asked.

"I said...i'm sorry!!! I never mean to hurt your feelings...it's just i want to-"

"What? Have fun by making fun of me?..well to be honest i am not kidding of you! Making fun of everybody is another way of insulting people!.. you are so rude!...."

"That's why i am here in front of you now... To tell you about it... That i am sorry..."

"Go away! Taylor!" She said and slams the door.

Roger knocked again but she did not opened it. He knocked and knocked again until she opened it annoyingly.

"What is it you want! Will you please stop bothering me?!"

"No! Not until you accept my apology!"

Jilliane sighed. "Ok...apology accepted...happy?" She said then again slammed the door.

Roger is also starting to get annoyed but he is determined. "What the fuckin' stubborn!" Roger said to himself. He knocked again and again and again. Jilliane opened it angrily.
