Chappie 5

‘I can’t be like this , I must stand up .’ I wiped the blood that kept dropping from my nose with my hands. I stood up on my own, I felt a little dizzy that caused me to hold on the wall as a support.

As I turned my body, I saw Kris was watching me with his hand in his pocket , waiting for me to give an explanation.

I sighed.

“Where is he?” I took a glance on my watch. It’s already 4.30! Kris , you gonna pay for this. 5 minutes is okay, but 30 minutes is .. unacceptable. I stood up from the bench and began to make a move.

As I took a few steps forward, I heard someone called me by my name. I turned around so that I could see the owner of that voice.

Kris breathed heavily with two cups of bubble tea in his hands. I smiled while looking at him. Never thought that he still remember my favourite drink which is the bubble tea.

I walked towards him and dragged him to sit on the bench. He passed one of the bubble tea to me. I was surprised that he still remember my favourite flavour. Chocolate mint! I took the bubble tea with a smile plastered on my face.

“Thanks.”

“Welcome. I’m sorry, something important came up.” Kris said then took a sip of the bubble tea. As expected, banana smoothie was his choice.

“Okay, you are forgiven.” I looked away and took a sip of the chocolate mint bubble tea flavoured.

And the awkward silence came. Both of us were busy finishing our bubble tea up while watching the kids playing at the playground, the bloomed flowers, families were having fun with their children. It was a nice scenery.

“Hey, did you still remember what we did on your birthday?” Kris took the last sip of his bubble tea.

“Of course, I will never forget that beautiful moment.” I answered without looking at him. Never expect that he will ask that kind of question. The last moment I spent with him was the most beautiful moments in my life. Joking around, chasing each other, acted like a kids, I miss that moments.

“Wanna know something?” Kris looked at me while raising his eyebrow.

“ Yea?” I took my last sip of the bubble tea.

“ I did not expect that you actually afraid of something like ‘that’ “ Kris laughed out loud until his eyes was full of tears. I glanced at him and punched his chest.

“Sorry, I just .. can’t … stop.” Kris said while still laughing. When he saw my annoyed face,, he stopped it and wiped off the tears in his eyes.

“ I never thought that you will lose the basketball match.” I stick out my tongue and chuckled because of his annoyed-face.

“I miss that moments.” I said while wiping off my tears that filled up because of Kris’ reaction.

“ Me too” Both of us looked at the sky while trying to remember every seconds we spent that night.

“Hey, let’s do it , again.” Kris grabbed my hand while looking at my eyes, waiting for an answer. Before I could answer it, he already dragged me out from the park and now, both of us were standing in the school’s basketball court with Kris bumping the ball.

He looked at me, with a smirk on his face. Both of us bent a little, as the symbol that we were ready to make a move. Kris made his moves, it was too quick. I tried to steal the ball from him, but he was too fast. He had improved a lot with his skills. In a second, the ball already got in to the net with victory in his side.

After tired of it, both of us lied down on the ground. I wiped off the sweats on my forehead and chuckled as I remember about what we just did.

“You improved a lot.” I said while looking at him. He chuckled and stood up.

“Thank you. I’ve been practicing a lot on it.” He answered and looked away with a smile plastered on his face. I stood up.

“ Hey, I’m sorry for what happened last time. It wasn’t me who did it.” I looked down, did not dare to see Kris straight into his eyes. Too afraid if he got angry with me. I didn’t want to look at those eyes again for the second time.

My words was left with no respond from him. I looked at him after a long silence between us. He kept on biting his lower lip.

“I’m sorry.” Kris looked on the ground. I can see his tears dropping on the ground. Although, he tried to hide it, but he couldn’t. I knew him, so I hugged him, tightly. Trying to comfort him.

“I’m sorry for being selfish. I know that it was not your fault. I know that article wasn’t written by you. I know that you were not at fault. But .. but .. I was a selfish bastard. I am stupid! I’m sorry to put you in this situation. For making you feel those things, for making you felt those pains, for creating that deep scars in your heart.” He kept on crying on my shoulder.

My tears filled up my eyes. I patted on his back lightly.

“Shh, you are not a bastard. You are my friend and will always be.” I kept on patted on his back, trying to comfort him. I broke off the hug, and looked at him.

I smiled while looking at his face. His eyes and his nose became red. I laughed, I can’t help it. But it was funny to see his face right now. He looks like a little kid that lost in the supermarket. Crying because couldn’t search for his mom.

I wiped his face. He still the old him. The old Kris that I know. Still the guy with the childish personality, trying to act cute such as a 3 year old kid. Suddenly he pulled me into a hug. He hugged me, tightly. This is the blue bird that I know. For me, Kris is not an angry bird, he is a blue bird. The cute one.

“I’m sorry for something that I can’t say. Sorry for everything.” He said while still crying. I smiled while hearing it. I patted on his back,

“It’s okay. Everything will be fine.” I was relieved that finally I can feel the breeze of happiness again. The cold, and the most peaceful breeze.

‘Thanks, god.’

Author's note : Prefering you to hear this when you read the part below ;)

‘ I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not telling you.’ I hugged her, as tight as I can. I want to tell her, but I can’t. Then , the scene came back on my mind.

“ Sorry for taking your time.” Chanyeol stood a few steps infront of me with his back facing me. I didn’t respond to it. Waiting for him to continue his words. 

“I just .. I  .. I want you to take care of Amber. You’re the only one that I trust. Please love her, take a good care of her, protect her,  please stand by her side, always.” Chanyeol faced me. His face was pale. So pale.

I can see the tears was filling up his eyes. He tried to hide it with his smile, he looked away, trying to hold it in. But the tears kept flowing out. He took a deep breath, and wiped the tears and smiled again. 

“I  .. I .. I don’t have much time. My life will end …….  soon. I couldn’t spend much time with her. So .. I know that I shouldn’t ask for this," He chuckled while still wiping the tears off with his hand.

" ...  but please. Let me spend some more days with her? …” He looked me in the eyes and smiled, he chuckled and looked away, still trying to hide it with his smile. 

“So that I can remember everything, every moments, every seconds that I spend with her when I am up there.” Finally, he gave up and let the tears flowing out from his eyes. His face beame more pale. His tears dropped , one by one. He fell on his knees, while crying. I held in my tears.

I looked away, feeling the cold breeze from up here. Watching the scenery down there. I walked toward him, and took out the handkerchief from my pocket and offered it to him. I know that he is my enemy, my rival. But, at that time, he’s not my enemy anymore, he is a person, ... that I should give some chances to him.

He took the handkerchief that I offered. i took a few steps forward while my back was facing him.

“Thank you, thank you for taking care of Amber.  Thank you for being his black night while I’m not there. I will. I will take care of her, until my the last breath of my life, I will be her black night, her protector, her friend. I will always be with her. I promised you.” I turned around to face him, ..

... And all I can see was a lying body on the ground. I was shocked by it . I ran to him, the blood was on his nose, the handkerchief I gave dropped off from his hand with blood and tears.

I fell on the ground with tears kept flowing out on my cheeks, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe that I will end up my life like this. My eyes became blurry because of the tears. I can feel the coldness of the breeze, as strong as the pain in my heart.

‘I’m sorry , I want to be a strong person, but I can’t.’

Then, I saw Kris getting near to me. I lift up my head and I saw the handkerchief in his hand. He reached out his hand and offered me the handkerchief. I took it.

I felt the pain in my head, my eyes became blurry. I know that Kris was saying something, but I can’t pay any attention to it. I couldn’t hear what was he saying because of the pain.

 I cried even more, while gripping the handkerchief. I put both of my hands on the ground, trying to endure the pain I felt. The handkerchief  was on the ground. I clenched my fist, I closed my eyes, as I felt the pain was getting more painful.

As my tears were dropping from my eyes, I can see, the blood, on the handkerchief, dropping from my nose. I cried even more, I looked up in the sky, there were no sun anymore. It was just a cloudy day with the cold breeze.

‘Is this the end of my life?’

Then everything turned ..

dark.
