-- Diana --

“Diana! Diana!”

Someone's calling me out...

How do they found my secret cavern? I didn't even told a soul about it.

I went out of that wet cave, stomping on every stones, and climbing some vines, until I reached overworld.
I was very busy of the vines that I can barely see who that idiot that’s calling me...was

I straighten and recognize this familiar man.
He had blonde hair, navy blue eyes, who wore indigo sweater that's almost covers his mouth with its hoodie, and jeans and knee boots.

"You're tired, aren't ya?"

"What are you doing here pighead?!" I teased, crossing both of my arms.

"Oh no, feeling feisty this morning?"

"Geez, will you quit joking around? 'coz I'm enough of them..." I said.

"Okay, then..." he muttered, brushing his other feet on the ground.

"So?" I questioned, barely looking at him.

He looked at me with those quizzing eyes who yet telling me, ‘what do you mean?’

"Ugh, did you just called out for me for this nonsense?!" I growled, avoiding his awkward movements.

After I said that, his expressions lowers like they meant something negatively accompanying with those blank eyes that makes me know that he is debating with something. He looked away and suddenly lowers his voice,

"You didn't appreciated my effort that I came all over here just to see you, do you?"

That line makes my cube-world explode. It was like a creeper who destroyed my newly built mansion.

"I... I... didn't mean to... well, it's had been a..." I muttered, barely catching my words, but he interrupted.

"I know, I know... This is about the sheep thingy, isn't it?" he asked, turning at me. "You're still furious about it and you regret me as your boyfriend because I didn't came up to your 'you're-my-hero' expectations...?"

He surprised me for that; he seemed like he's not the 'Nathaniel Evuinore' that I know...

"I have forgotten that drama, Nate. So, if I were you, I will forget it too..." I said, persuasively. "You know, I did not regret that you are my boyfriend. I did not regret anything about you... And what happened between us last week is over; let's just forget that drama, okay?"

And in last part of my line, I reached for his hands accompanied with a warm smile.

But he just looked at me with no reactions, like, well, does he even appreciated my words?

He lowers his shoulders and carefully removing my hands from his and then he let his hands fall on his side as he said, "Well, I sensed that we're not in the same wavelength anymore..."

That line of him makes me afraid. What is wrong with him? Can't he recover from our big fight because of the sheep thing?

But my fear grew when I asked him, muttering, "What does... that... supposed to mean?"

Nate looked away. His shoulders droop. But before he can say it, I knew what he will say...

"I sensed that... I didn't make it up... I can't catch up with you... Last time that I remember was our big fight about last week and it was my biggest nightmare that will scare me every night before going to bed. Well, we barely understand each other and if we tried to, we will end up with a big argument... And as for me, I am sick of it, Diana!"

But his next lines are scarier... That made me holding up some tears...

"I think we are growing apart, Diana." he said and suddenly stopping to catch some words. But before he could say anything he looked at me, frustrated and his eyes were holding back some tears. "...and now... I know I need to settle... Alone... But I can't do it without letting you go."

I sighed, "Are you telling me to break up with you?"

He did not answer.

I looked down, shoulders died, "Fine. Okay. But are you sure?"

He still did not answer.

I looked at him, stunned. As he turned his back and walks off, calmly.

I was like being punched in the gut as I count his steps... hoping that he'll stop at his fifth steps.

I wait there, hoping, that he might went back at me, and said "I can't let you go, I love you."

...but no, he did not.

And I felt my tear falling off in my right cheek, and realised that this isn't a romantic film with a kind author that would send back Nate and saying those unrealistic lines.

I stand back there, feeling my knees are melting...

But Nate continued strutting until he disappears around the corners of a birch tree... without one last glance.

My second tear fell off, absorbing the whole situations...

Until it hurts.
