Criminal You Call Friend (3)

The nurses scream and the doctors rush almost throbbed Nart's heart. The doctors immediately shifted Moon into the emergency ward. Anxiously, three of them (Nart, Pim & Chai) rushed with Moon. But soon they were prohibited. Standing out of the door they were just tensed up. 

A melody ringing in my ear awakened me from my deep nap. Everything around me was a flashback from my childhood. Fresh grass beneath me and that smell was refreshing my nose. I slid my eyeballs beside me and there were trees around the surroundings. 

The piano tunes were still ringing in my ear. The next view was the front. A lovely house with a beautiful botanic garden. This panorama reminds me of something I missed from a long time ago since there was a miss in my house… 

This picture was from my childhood when my father was still alive. My first hero to make me float in the air holding me in his both palms. That soft music was played by a kid around her 10s and it was me, Moon Fowler. 

I stood up and gradually stepped into my sweet home. My favourite place in my late 10s but soon we shifted to another place because of my studies. 

"Darling, our baby got better at playing the piano, isn't it?" Mom… I swear I missed that bright smile a lot. That smile which only came out when you were with Dad but now it had wholly disappeared, Mommy… 

I wanna cry out louder but I don't know how to cry louder after my father's death. I let out joyous tears from my eyes and whipped them off soon. I walked along the stairs going up to my room. 

Now here comes 10 years-old me playing the piano with peaceful sights but see your early 20s now, she is almost suffering to her death. 

"Dear Moon, Mommy prepared your favourite food~" Dad I truly missed your voice. He held my hand and I was ready to walk with him anywhere he takes me. "Come with me, Moon. I'll take you to a beautiful place." I will come anywhere you wanna go, Dad. 

"Daddy, your hands are so soft like cotton-candy." 

"Dear Moon, Did you miss, Daddy? C'mon, I will hold you in my arms." 

I was living in his arms. It's like I'm back to my baby days when my Dad would often carry me in his arms and stroll me around the area. Even in my 10s, he would carry me in his strong arms, tell me fairy tales which were never real and take me out for walks. 

"Daddy…, I don't know but I don't wanna come with you." 

"Come with me, Moon." 

"No Daddy, I don't wanna come!" Though I wanna go with him, my real self doesn't wanna go with him. I kept on dragging back my hand but he was stretching me out and trying to pull me off of the room. 

"Come with me! You have to come with me, Moon!" 

"No way, Daddy! I don't wanna leave Mommy like you did!" 

I screamed. When I opened my eyes I found myself huffing and puffing. Sat up on the bed. I was surprised when I found myself in a white room. Is that a dream? I was so frightened when I figured out my Dad was turning into a demonic figure. 

"Moon, Are you alright, Dear?" Pim… I immediately hugged him as I was so frightened when I saw my Dad in a demonic sculpture. He was trying to take me with him. Is that a close call? 

A felt a cold hand on my head, gently caressing my hair. That hand later tenderly rubbed my back and made me calm down. 

"It's okay, Moon. Everything's ok, Dear." I had often seen him as my good friend and I never had any bad intentions. He calmly stroked my head. My hands were rounding around his waist and slightly squeezing his shirt. 

"I saw my Dad forcing me to come with him. I guess it's a call for me, Pim." 

He embraced me tightly and said, "Never say that again, Moon. Taeng is gone now. I don't want you to go too. Please don't leave so soon." I made him sit in the chair beside me and gently caressed his hair. 

"You're so cute in your sad face, Pim." 

I was just making him feel comfortable with me but suddenly a huge body dashed to pieces into me and entangled me in his seductive aura. His shoulders were broad and his hands reached to my waist passing across my shoulders. 

My little head was popping out from his right shoulder just like a little puppy popping out from her Mother's body. I was astonished and my eyes only stuck on Pim's gaze. He was dumbfounded, couldn't get the situation in his mind and just stared at my face. 

"I was so scared about your health, Moon." Nart… I was so dazed and my eyeballs were shaken off. Cupping my face, he looked so mesmerizingly at me and rubbed my cheeks tenderly. "Brother Nart…, I-I'm okay." 

My throat got dried off, perhaps it's because of the dash. He smiled okay and sat beside me. Still holding my hand as gently as cotton. "Fine then I'll be leaving now, Moon." As he got ready to stand up I immediately caught his hand and said, "What suddenly got into your mind, Pim?" 

"I don't think there will be any help from my side, Dear Moon." 

"Pim you take a rest, I'm there to take care of her." Won't you even let me speak Nart? I was quiet until Pim walked out of the room. I wanted to show my anger at Nart but I couldn't. I don't know the reason though.

The time passed in a blink of an eye and I found myself standing at the bus stop. Well, I got discharged from the hospital 2 days back. I'm not wholly recovered from my wound but a little ok to walk around. 

On a rainy day, I found myself alone with a transparent umbrella and a short handbag in my hand. It was raining dogs and cats when I was patting on the water with my foot cuz it's been 12 minutes but the traffic isn't cleared yet. 

I blinked once and in a second I discovered something wide-eyed. A girl in such gorgeous girly apparel, holding a handsome guy's hand and with a bright smile on their face, was walking on the other pathway. The couple looked so similar to me. 

"Aren't they Tangwen and Millou?" I whispered beneath my warm breath. 

I couldn't believe my own eyes cuz it was somehow painfully painful…! "Yeah." Huh? I lived goosebumps when I heard the whispery voice crossing through my ears. 

As I took a turn I caught a glimpse of a young man in his mid-20s. When he took a glance at me, he continued getting on, "It's because  you never tried the game but he tried and found it interesting. Now the game's his favourite." 

I know it's not about the game, it's about the person who once chased back at me but I never took an interest in her. Unfortunately, she was approached by Millou; he took an interest in her and now he is pulling her into his arms. 

"Don't you wanna try the game at least?" I glanced at them and never wanna let a thought get into my mind but she got a place in my heart. But how…!?

"Mr. Dillon, the games got old. I wanna try your Sister as my bedmate." 

With a whole bunch of attitude, I walked like a model out of him. I didn't even wanna waste my time on his boring topic called "game!" I was damn irritated because of him. 

Seating on the chair, I only observed the waitperson with ironic sights cuz I was dead done waiting for my drinks. For now, I just wanna dose myself. The way Tangwen was holding his hands was boiling up my blood!! 

"Here's your drink, Ma'am. Is there anything else you need, Ma'am?" 

I shook my head and immediately opened up the bottle cap. Gulping it directly, it only reminds me of their smiling faces. Sh*t, why is it hurting too much? It's like stabbing a knife deep into my soft heart… Every gulp only makes me think of them, o-only them. Holding their hands! Disgusting!! 

"Sh*t! How did I even end up like this!?" I snored, slapping the bottle's bottom to the table. All the sitter's sights stood on me, staring surprisingly and whispering behind my back. I can hear you, girls. 

"Moon, why are you drinking heavily…!?" I know I'm drunk but how can I get fooled by my eyes? How can they fool me with Tangwen? Haha! 

"See, I'm imagining Tangwen now. Haha! Hilarious, hilarious!" I was cracking up loudly, patting the imaginary Tangwen's shoulder. But a sudden shadow whacked my cheek and my face was on the other side. A slap…? 

"Stop your chin music, Moon. I'm the real Tangwen!" 

Real one? Great. When I never gave myself a chance to love you, you still keep on irritating me but never waited until I fell in your arms. But you started moving on with someone leaving me to fall for you…, Tang. 

I don't feel anything for you but when I find you with someone I incredibly break out into pieces. Pieces that could never be glued again… 

"Why are you here? Weren't you with Millou, hm?" I sounded with a look. 

She looks quite beautiful when I'm only wasted. In the silence, she forwarded her hand to my cheek, gently giving a rub to it. She's trying to be romantic…? I found a glint in her eyes, it was shiny just like a star in darkness. With a slight pull, she brought her head right in front of my eyes. 

"You're so close, Tang." I whispered with a smirk. She reflected with silent and seductive eyes. "I wanna be more close to your body, Moon." A bit more inches close to my lips and I'm intimately locked up by her soft, juicy lips. Munching on my lower lips, she deliberately moved her hand to my jawline. 

I was in such a daze that I forgot to munch her juice. Her flavoursome saliva is what makes me suck on her non-lipstick lips. Intentionally, I grabbed her neckband and began sucking hard on her lips. 

"Uhm! You're sucking hard, Moon!" She shortly pushed me away and yelped louder. In a second, I lost my mind that she took advantage of me. I was around people and she got me horny and brought me in the middle of her arms. It's burning, perhaps I'm gonna turn into ash alive. 

My blood filled with her saliva, her eyes on me including the people around me and killing me with their sharp sights. My head was down on the ground, I was wholly broken down into pieces of embarrassment and lust for Tang.
