Like A Tomboy

[POV:- MOON FOWLER]

A new haircut, wolfcut. High neck sweater inserted into my black high cargo trousers. A silver necklace rounding my covered neck, a platinum watch on my left wrist and white-brownish sneakers. Natural look on face and patched my ears with their favourite silver earrings, not so long though. 

Blonde hair eventually doesn't catch my breath but grey is out of everything. Passing a glimpse of calmness at my watch, I walked loftily downstairs though I have only 25 minutes to reach the airport.  

"You- omg! You're like a mafia!" There's a saying that goes, first impression is the best impression but it literally sounded like a bad impression on me! How come, Mommy?! Haiz. Haiz. "That's bad, Mom. You shouldn't judge people." Hopefully, this heredity of judging others from my Mom hasn't flowed into me. Phew. 

"You literally took an hour to get ready as you're somehow a famous chic! And you're teaching me not to judge you!" 

"Calm down, Mommy. There's nothing to rush-" 

"Eat faster! How can you be a fool for 20 mins?! 5 minutes eventually wasted!" 

Ouch that's hurt now. The speed of the flying pan was faster than the speed of the sound! I thought, maybe my Mom must have been a teacher of physics in her past or… Unfortunately she must have been born into a physics family! What stupidity! Haha! 

Shameless creature! Moonie… wait what a weird nickname I gave! Tsk! 

"I…know, Mommy." My head still aches. While I was in the job of scratching my hair my Mom popped her phone out of her pocket and the screen light flashed. I think her eyes and brows just frowed, right…? No way, what matter on the earth would be there to frown upon her when we are on edge to leave Thailand? 

"What's this?!!" Achchoo! My little heart…, I'm pity that it has to bear such strong and hazardous screams… This early morning… boohoo. By the way, the thing I should focus on right now is…why was she shouting?

Heavy like elephant steps, she abruptly stood in front of me. Glared as bad as I could melt like gallium. What's now…? As I gulped, my sight accidentally fell on the phone held in my Mom's hand, showing to my face. What's there? 

What is written… Huh?! It's a little heart attack! My heart is at its rate! "The flight timings are from 8…A.M…" Sh*t! I didn't know that! How am I supposed to make an eye contact with my Mom now!! It's dangerous, boohoo! 

"Moon!!!!!!!!" 

"Sorry, Mom!! I didn't check the time well!!!" 

"How can you be so reckless at this young age!!! You literally made me awake at 6 saying flight is at 7!!! Idiot!!" 

"Sorryyyyyyyyyy, Mommmmmmm!" 

Phew, that was the start of the war. How am I so reckless these days? My eyes must be given a check-up otherwise the next it will be my grave next to my Dad. See it, Dad. How awesomely your wife is threatening me? Haiz…, though I'm out I still have 1 hour to go… what am I supposed to do till now…? 

Got an idea! Heh!

—- 

"Moon! Over here, Girl!" Huh? Oh sh*t not you now. That must be bad luck on a worst day! Surely, this day's out of the way to my worst nights! "Heh. Hi… Dillon Alfie." Bastard of all the hooligans present in this world! I salute you! The worst I get as far deeply into your baskets the more I get in trouble…with you and also your younger sister, TANGWEN! 

"I mean Mr. Dillon Alfie…" He smiled short and walked proudly as if he got something of a high standard over me. Does he think his richness eventually can cross my head like a flight? If that's what your stupid mind thinks then just toss it in the dustbin! Overloaded idiotic Human beings. Tsk! 

"You can address me Dillon too, Moon." Whatever you say. What does it even have to do with my own business? Like I'm gonna use this sh*t name for the rest of my life. Humph! "Well, what are you here for, Dillon?" I have a casual question, I know, ya. 

"A walk." Walk? On working days? Doesn't he have a job to handle on? "Well, are you on to something or somewhere? You dressed up like a tomboy." Tomboy…? Hm. Ya. I didn't recognize myself before… heh. 

"Um… ya. I'm leaving this place soon, so-'' There was a gasp sound. Dillon twisted around and I surprisingly slid right into the search of the person. "Tang…?" Dillon said in a low-pitched voice. I was so amazed when I saw her with wet eyes and her pinkish hands to cover her mouth. 

"Tangwen, are you crying…?" I whispered as I found a glint in her eyes but that glint was of sorrow… somehow pain and suffering. Whatsoever…is that 'cause me? Slightly reminding my question Dillon veered around me in confusion but in this while we lost the attention on Tangwen. 

"What do you mean she's crying?" He questioned but I was out of sense to answer rather than quit. Does… Wait! Where is Tangwen?! "Tangwen. Where's she?" I stretched out with frowned brows, glimpsing over the corners of the places. 

Where can she disappear to?! "Hurry up! Search her out, Dillon!" What does he get if he stands like a statue over here?! I nudged him out and rushed into the entrance of the Café. Must be a new one to this place. 

"Excuse me, did you see any girl passing by?" I asked a stranger who just walked out of their way to walk opposite to my route. She looked at the ways and said, 

"There are a lot of girls, how can I figure out one of them?" She's right… How should I get into her then?! Ahhh! "C'mon give me some info of her like dress colour or something like that." Colour of dress…? How can I know I didn't even spare a glance at her dress… Shhhh! What an ache! 

I was panicking when I made time to turn back and found Dillon speaking harshly on the call. Can he even answer me in the first place? That must be noted as an unpredictable doubt. Ha… "Hey, Dillon!" I screamed and he passed me a death glare. Should I still give guarantee to my question or doubt? 

"What do you want now?!" Haiz. Haiz. What a roaring tune! "What was your sister wearing before?!" He frowned immediately. What a speed! Ha! "Crepe colour dress! Where-" Omg! If I stood here and continued hearing him then there's no point in noticing blood out of my ear in the next few seconds. 

"You heard it, right?" The stranger nodded and pointed a finger towards the direction leading the back of my body. Whatever my shadow is. I smirked and immediately bowed as a thanks. Next, I'm a participant of the 400 metres relay match. Puff… puff… I'm exhausted halfway…, Mannnn! 

"Got so weak legs! Run faster, Moon!" Huh! Who's that? "Hey, Dillon! If you got a car to drive, why don't you get me in?! I'm dying!" He stopped and gestured for me to get in. By the way, I was already in before he could even make a gesture. 

"What a shame. My sister gotten in you. Tsk!" 

 "Cut the crap!" 

Holy fu*ker! This Alfie family has a great generation of spouting nonsense though it's the time of panic! What a day! I surely have nothing to do but wait! Even in this moment where this stupid Tangwen is hiding behind the bushes!

"It's 7:30 A.M now! My flight is at 8 A.M, Dillon!" 

He suddenly paused the car and looked at me blankly. "Where are we heading to?" Bahhh! How come I did not know that?! Where are we supposed to head? Wah! Mommyyy, help meee. 

"Say something, Moon! There's no much time!" What do I even know….? 

"Drive to your home for now…" 

I have a Sinking feeling that I shouldn't have addressed him in a wrong way and then… get lost. He will surely bury me then… Ahhh! Why did I even step out of the house? It would be far better if I had stayed in and bear Mom's demonic scolding. I would have been sitting joyfully on the waiting section of the next flight and viewing the other flights flying into the air and then disappearing gradually. That's so spectacular! 

But see my condition now. How pathetic! "We're here, Moon." I immediately pulled out the door of the car not even reminding myself that I'm in the actor's car. What does that even care for now?! "Ta-" Before I could take Tangwen's name I and Dillon noticed the butler running towards us. 

"Mr. Dillon, Ms. Tangwen is in her room. She isn't opening her door." Though I addressed the wrong route, I reached the right one in the wrong way. But… I wonder if she hadn't decided to hold something unbearable. I pushed the butler aside and immediately rushed out of the way to her room. 

"Hey, Moon. Wait!" I gave him a deaf ear. As I stood in front of her room's door, I immediately halted 'cause her voice… her voice was gasping softly, her eyes shedding tears and palms were tired of cleaning off tears again and again. I stood quiet there, hearing her soft sob. 

I heard them clearly. A person like her must never have such melting eyes. Though she is kind of a stupid, she's still a human being with a toxic past. There were times I misunderstood her but there were thousands of reasons behind them holding the consequences of her and my life…, Dear Tang. I hope you understand. 

"Moon…? What happened?" 

As gloomy as night, I looked nowhere. Later, I tossed my fingers into my trousers pocket and picked out a piece of paper. Saying, "Can you pass this letter to Tangwen later." He took the paper and looked confusedly at me. I passed a last glance and walked away, heading directly at home as I really have only 25 minutes to reach the Airport. I should tell Mom to reach the airport before me. 

I immediately caught a call to my Mom. "Hey, Mom. Get to the airport without me. I will be there soon in minutes." I'm not in the mood to hear any other words and hung up the call in seconds.  I know it's rude but… I have no other way than this.
