Him

Description

Love in my opinion is just a cycle. How it always started so sweet like honey at first, and then just like how a pot of hot water cooling down, it just simply gets cooler and cooler. In the end? Gone. Like how it evaporates into thin air, merging with the particles that we can’t see with our eyes. Just like that, gone and never coming back again.

Prompt: Him? We are not friends, we are not enemies; we are just strangers with memories.

Foreword

Him; Prologue

“You know him?”

I looked at him again, and then a silent sigh appeared, “no.” I quickly replaced the look with a forced smile before hooking my arm around the male beside me.

“I don’t know him.” I assured the male again before turning my head back to meet him.

I took note of how the female beside him too hooked her arm around his before nudging him lightly, “lets’ go?”

He quickly plastered a smile over his face and gently replied her, “okay.”

And just before they leave, we made an eye contact, again. This time, with our forced smiles gone, we nodded at each other, doing it so lightly so our partners wouldn’t be able to notice but obvious enough for the two of us to acknowledge it. And in that instant, flashbacks came running to me, flooding my mind with memories, our memories, memories of him, of a person who I could now officially call, stranger.

 


Ѽ:
This prompt was stuck in my head for an entire month? And so I wrote this out of rashness. I have no idea how I am going to continue this and I'm not even sure if I can complete this before the dateline FML. Shall try my best and yeah not gonna update any of my stories this week cos I'm resuming my part-time job tml night and I will be working everyday until Sunday. Sigh.
 
Note: I can't emphasize more. This story is written in a reversed manner. Meaning, the first chap is the ending and the last chap will be when they first met. Every chapter would be like a different stage in a relationship. I would suggest you to read the story backwards if you find it hard to comprehend. My sincere apology to any confusion caused.

Him/Ѽ: Edited chap9 by adding another paragraph at the ending cos I thought it would link back better to the previous chap. :)

Chapter 11: The sweeter it gets, the sadder it becomes. You could say I'm weird since I do feel weird right now haha. Well, we're young and at times we found ourselves fall in love and ended up being madly in love. At times, we're so mad that we're ready to foolishly give up everything for love and chase after it. and we finally achieve what we wanted - dating, romance and stuff - we found ourselves promising that we'll never stop loving each other, we'll always love each other, stay by each other side, whispering sweet words... and comes a day when it became a habit and it became tiring. It suddely stopped being meaningful and the love is suddenly gone. I guess that happens, in fact it happens a lot. I found it as the reality of love and... it's just sad. You know I sounded really pessimistic. oh well... I'm loving this one more and more :)

Chapter 10: This is a flashback right? This chapter is so sweet that I became sad. The reality that love began with those sweet moments, impulsive, and often emotional-driven action. We thought it was everything that would matter. Then how it slowly become colder, how we forgot what we actually love about them. Then, everything just crumble apart. Thinking how it used to be sweet makes it very sad. I'm feeling weird right now, since it's fluff I'm supposed to be squealing around (like a fan-girl), but here I am being sad over the reality. Still, good work!

Chapter 9: I'm a little late since I haven't been reading lately, but this chapter... left me speechless. God, I couldn't even say anything about this. This is everything I've been trying to express, everything I've been trying to write since forever. Perfection. I love this one so much. You're really really good and I mean it. I mean you're very good as always, but this one just.... I absolutely love this chapter.
