A Journey of Two Night Goers: The Other Moment (Journey Series)

Chapter 24

I then went to her hotel room and knocked on her door. I tried to open it but it's locked. I can't ask for the key either. It's against the hotel rules.

"Flo, please answer the door. Please Flo."

I knocked for an hour, but Flo wouldn't open her door. I then gave up this time. She needs time. I then went to my hotel room and called a hotel staff, asking him to bring disinfectant and bandages to Flo's room.

Evening came when I peeked through the door, seeing if Flo would go out to at least get food. But she didn't.

Morning came when my phone notification rang and I saw the reminders open in my phone. I'm supposed to prepare. I'm about to go to Bacolod the next day, celebrating New Year there. It's not yet the right time, I thought. But I have no choice. I already have the ticket. I'm bound for Bacolod.

I then peeked out to see if Flo went out for breakfast. But she didn't. And it slowly hurt me. I began to be worried of her and decided to give her probably my last call with her. I then dialed her number and called her.

"Flo, it's me. I know you won't answer me back but please just hear me out. Don't do it Flo, I beg you. I don't care if you won't do it for me. But don't do it at least for yourself. There's still a lot of things to discover, do, or explore Flo. And if you do it, you'll be missing all of it. Please don't do it.

And I know you haven't been eating. Please eat Flo. Don't starve yourself please. And clean your wound at least. Don't get them infected. Soon, the hotel staff will bring you bandages and disinfectant for your wound. I told them to. Also, rest well. Don't allow yourself to lack sleep.

I know you'll say that I care too much. But I want you to know that I can't stop myself from caring too much about you. You're all I think of every single moment. All I do when I wake up or even before bed is to look at your door and see if you'll go out; not because I want to talk to you, but because you care to look out for your needs.

I just want you to know that I love you Flo. And I never regretted choosing to love you. I know it won't make sense to you since you'll say that you'll just hurt me. But I want you to remember that no hurt can replace the way I love you.

Bye Flo."
