Fate, For The Second Time, Please...
Do you know how hard it is to move on?
I wanted someone to teach me how.
Because all that I know is that in order to move on, I need to change the habits I had with that particular someone.
The problem is that I've done almost all basic, casual and normal things with her.
I've spent my everyday with her for the past 10 years but never did we think it will be over after a decade. We were supposed to go on strong, I don't know what cracked in her heart, why she suddenly wanted to break up. Maybe we were too unhappy with each other, not one of us even think of fixing our relationship.
She was just not really into this kind of relationship and I was just a pushover.
I was left with nothing to say at all.
An acquaintance of mine from highschool named Leroyi wanted to meet with me. It's been 11 years since I last saw him.
"Gelo, long time no see." He said after finding me in the middle of the crowd. "How've you been?"
I hi-fived him and answered, "Just fine, just fine."
He asked to go to a cafe, wanting to talk while eating. "So? You're still as quiet as before? It looks like it." he uttered. I couldn't answer that with anything but a nod since we aren't really that close, I couldn't start a conversation with him.
"Anyway, you still draw, right?" he asked out of the bat. "Of course, but I don't draw that much lately."
"Ehhh!? Why not? Didn't you end up being an architect? Isn't drawing your hobby? I thought you couldn't live without drawing anything within an hour." he babbled, "I even thought you'd be an animator when you grow up. Why would you stop?"
"For no reason." I sighed. I mixed my hot coffee with a spoon while keeping quiet.
"How about that girl?" he asked.
He's asking about Anna. I could guess he's totally asking about Anna.
"Ah, what's her name again?" he asked as he snaps his fingers, "Aren't you guys married yet?" My eyes looked at him as a reflex, my calm almost snapped.
"Anyway, I wanted to ask you a favor. I have a friend that will get married next week. They asked if any of us knew an artist who would be able to draw their wedding picture. Then I thought about you." he said. "I was just wondering if it's fine if you draw it?"
"Just me?" I asked, still having no clue of what is going on. "No, dumbass. With her, what's her name again..? ..Ah, Anna. Her. Draw with her. I remember you guys drawing together, and your sketches are to die for. One of a kind. I recommended you guys to my friend."
What!? Me and Anna??
"Actually, I also called her but I guess she has prior commitments. But I think she'll come." he continued babbling.
What? I'll work with her?
"Wait wait wait wait. Did you tell her she'll be working with me?"
"I think so... I suppose she got the idea. What's so wrong about not telling her though? I mean you've been together for a decade. It's not bad to assume you're dating, is it?" he answered.
Argh, I wanna punch this guy. Anna will flip if she sees me.
"Cancel all this. Call her and cancel this meet up. Right now!"
"Huh? What do you mean, bro? You've got any problems?"
I took my stuff and took off, but as fate mess with my life, I just couldn't believe Anna standing in front of me. "What are you doing?" she asked.
