That Racer and I

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!

" Do you have now your order maam? "

I was disturb on counting the seconds, minutes and hours that had passed when the waiter ask me that question. It had been exactly 3 hours 17 minutes and 15 seconds that I had been sitting here and kept on ordering lemonade, got no choice my date is late again. I sigh in deep disappointment.

" I'll take 3 slice of chocomoist cake and a frap "

After saying my order the waiter immediately vanish on my sight. Where is he again I ask on my head. God! do--

" I'm sorry mine, I'm late the race ended longer than I thought "

Speaking of the devil. He's  Ezekiel Frenniere my fiance, we've been together for almost 5 years, and just a year ago he proposed to me, we're supposed to be ringing the bells by now but some circumstance came up that resulted for our wedding to be posponed.

" I'm used to it "

I answer him bitterly. In line to the postponment of our wedding he also became more addicted to drag racing. Yeah my fiance is a drag racer, I don't know what he gets to that, I mean it's too dangerous, but I can't make him stop, he'll just say it has a purpose, in which I don't actually get.

" Look mine I'm really really sorry I promise I'll m--"

" make it up to you, I'm so sick of listening to that the same reason mr. Frenniere, when can I ever win over that hobby of yours "

I said in a croak voice, I know any moment from now I'll breakdown in front of him, which I really wanted to avoid.

" Mine, don't call me that, don't be mad please, you know I can't stand when your mad at me. And you don't have to compete with my racing hobby, you know you will always be on top of it. "

He said that while hugging me, I'm already standing and very ready to leave. I call him mr. Frenniere when I'm really mad at him.

" News flash! I don't feel it! "

I said in a mocking tune and it's a fact! he always choose that drag racing shit over me! He will always be late everytime we have a date and even postpone it when Drake, his race informant call him. Like seriously? how can you even call it your his priority when he can easily dump you just because of that goddamn drag race. I inhale and calm myself I can't burst right now, not here, and not when his around.

" Mine pleasee.."

Oh! No! not that voice, that pleading voice that always melt my hatred over him, he don't know how that voice affect me. I diverted my eyes away from him because I know any moment I would see his teary eyes and gosh! that's my weakness. I look outside the ca'fe.

" Zeke please, I need space, I'm mad leave me alone "

I said swallowing the lump on my throat, I know for a fact that it hurt him badly but I just can't forgive him now. Slowly he loosen his grip on me and let me go.

Morning when I wake up I was surprise by the smell of my favorite fried rice, I hurriedly get off to bed and was more shock to see hundreds of sticky notes on my wall. It was all a sorry notes. When I arrive in the kitchen I saw him cooking, he really look more handsome everytime he wears an apron. I hug him from the back and said.

" Good morning my handsome chef, thank you and I love you "

After saying those words I saw his perfectly white teeth when he gave me his always genuine and alluring smile. How I always love seeing that smile of him.

" Good morning too my everyday source of vitamins, I'm sorry again and I love you more always and forever will "

He hug me tight after saying it.

Months passed by and those scenario is like a daily routine to me. Now January 30 my live or die day. Today I will undergo my heart transplant, it's even earlier than we anticipated, Zeke don't know about my sickness, and today I decided to tell it to him and ask him to be on my side while I will have this operation, I call him and after 4 rings he finally answer it.

" Mine? can you come here at St. Joseph hospital I need to tell you something "

" I'm sorry mine but I can't go I'm having a race in a minute, can you tell it later? "

" o--okay"

I said and ended the call, it's depressing but I need to continue my operation without him. I wake up with everything in white around me. Where am I? The first question that came up in my mind and it hit me, I'm in a hospital. I look around, I'm still adjusting my eyes and ears to the sorrounding, I see my friends and family, but no sign of him.

" Where is he? "

I don't know if it's just my imagination or what but I think I saw them got stiff after asking that question. 3 weeks had passed and I'm very well already. I went to the race arena hoping I would be able to see him there, I know he hated hospital ambiance maybe that's the reason he didn't showed up.

" Where is Zeke? "  I asked Drake

" You still don't know? "

" Know what? "  I asked puzzled about what is he talking about.

" E-Ezekiel is already d--dead "

I don't know if the time really stopped, or it's just me. I feel like I was thrown a ton of cold water, I feel limp, dumb, numb and shattered.

" Y--you're talking shit! your lying !! "  I shouted with all my might, but Drake remained stiff looking on the ground.

" It's true, he died last January 30, he's driving too fast to be with you on your operation day. "   Jaw dropped, I feel doubled no! tripled hurt. He know?

" How ? "

" He know it a year ago, the time where he started doing multiple drag race to raise 30 million for your operation, he kept on saying if it's for you he can let death take his life, to let you live and..... "

" and what?! "   I shouted feeling frustrated on the messed up on my life, my tears came down none stop.

" T--the heart you have now is his "

" No!! No!! hell no!! it's from the heart bank!! "

" The donated heart didn't survive on you, so he said to the doctor to take his for you."

I was able to gather my strength and stand up and started walking away.

" Bri--ng m--e to h--im"  I said in between my sobs

We arrived in the cemetery I saw a big tarpaulin and it confirmed the dark reality, it's our picture together he's hugging me with his favorite car as our background, I also saw his car beside the tarpaulin I went there and saw it being repaired, but evidences of it being wrecked is still visible, I touch the engrave name of the both of us on the side of the car.

Ezekiel&Aemie

It took me years before I recover slowly I never got married, no I was not alone because Zeke's heart has always been with me. He's always in my side and in my heart the only racer of life. That racer and I will never be separated because now we are one. I love him always and forever will.
