Red roses

Jun 15, 2011 00:28

I was sipping my coffee in a western cafe when I saw a  guy confessing his love to his girlfriend. I looked at the bouquet of roses and I smiled. They were so beautiful. I was taken aback of my passed memories. I gulped bitterly.

It all started with the magical words : " I Love You ". I blushed hard when my forever crush confess to me. It was unbelievable.I was shocked and touched at the same time. Why not when we were hardly talking to each other. Nevertheless, I accepted the confession with a smile. He squealed in delight. He then took my hands and kissed it. If only I can become more red as I was sure my face was as red as tomato.

New day come and go. We were the hot topic of my school. The hot guy was dating a nerd girl. Most of them were complaining. I felt very hurt. Especially when girls were throwing disgusted look at me every time I passed through the corridor. There were time when I questioning myself, " Am I making the right decision ? " . But I guess, we were destined. He must noticed the hurtful look and words that I received. He often reminded me to ignore all those girls and acted normal. During those time, I was glad to have such an understanding boyfriend.

One day, he come to me with hurt and angered all over his face. I was so sacred. I was imagining that he'll finally break our bond and said it was meant for joke. But that nightmare never come. He said something else to me.

" I had enough of the student bad mouthing you. I can't let they continued any longer ".

I was still clueless by that time and I don't have the gut to ask him anything. I just let him dragged me away.

I got my answer when we step in a saloon near his house. He said something to the hair dresser. She then nodded and walked to me. I was asked to sat on one of the vacant chair. She then removed all my hair pin. Next, she restyled my hair into something new and different. My hair got a rebonding touch with a little curl at the end. She style my bang that it have covered my forehead. My hair colour also changed from blonde to crimson red. Satisfied with the transformation, he then brought me to the optical shop. My old glasses had change into a pair of contact lenses. I was surprised with my new look. The only word I can utter was, " Thank You" .

Since then, no more people interfered with our love affair. I was so glad. We continued our relationship like any other couple. We would go for a date, movies and dinner together. But we can't feel the happiness all the time. There was always a twist in our life. On one dark and cold night, he called and asked me to meet him somewhere. At first I declined it. After all, it was already 10 at night. But he continuously persuaded me that I ended up agreed on him. We planned to meet at a park near my house. When I arrived there, he was still not around yet. I sat on one of the benches and waited for him silently.

I checked the time in my phone. 10 minutes had passed but he still not here. I was planning to give him a call when suddenly I was attacked by a drunk man. I was so scare back then. I tried hard to break free but he's too powerful. At that time, all I could do is praying for help. And the help did came. When the drunk man was about to unbuttoned my shirt, he was pulled by someone. The very person that pulled the drunk man was my boyfriend. I felt relieved. Soon the two of them were fighting.

I must say that they were equally powerful. From my view, my boyfriend was at his limit. He stumbled on the small stone when he punched the drunk man. I felt worried about his safety. The drunk man took his opportunity to finish off my boyfriend. He took out something from his pocket and it was a pocket knife. I became more panicked and scared. I wanted to do something but my feet won't move. As it was glued to the ground. I just stood there when the knife was stabbed in my boyfriend's chest. When i saw the blood flowing out non-stop, I got the courage to fight back. With my trembling hands, I collected stones and threw them to the drunk man. At the beginning, the drunk man had no intention to step back, so I took a larger stone and threw it at him. The man cursed and finally left the place.

I ran to my injured boyfriend and sat beside him. My tears were running down cheaply. I wanted to call the ambulance but he stopped my, He took my hand and said :

" I don't need the doctor...no more time is left for me..sorry...I put you in danger. I'm planning to give you these roses. You love them right ? I know tomorrow is your birthday but I won't be around. That's why I thought we can celebrate it earlier but I was wrong. I made a big mistakes. I'm sorry baby. But please..let me wish you a happy birthday.. "

I can no longer stopped my tears. Each and every words of him were like a sword that stab my heart. I hate the feeling and I don't want to believed that we is going to leaves me.

With difficulty, he moves closer to me and claim my lips for a kiss. I knew it will be our last kiss. I keep on crying. But he was smiling.

"baby..good...bye..." he said between the kiss and his body fell on top of me.

He left me !

I was screaming in my head. I shook his dead body while calling him name. But what stopped me was his smiling and calm face. As he had no regret and he's only sleeping. I pick up my shattered piece of courage and finally made a call to the hospital. The ambulance came not long after that and took away his body.

I felt a hot liquid running down my cheek. The memory never fail to make me cry. It was my first love and I never thought it will ended that way. I took another sip of my coffee. Then I packed my bag and left the cafe.
