It was past 7pm but still I'm fully awake, staring at the ceiling , clenching my fist and thinking how my day pass with a bare smile on my face. I just sitted on my couch and drink my coffee. Hmm what a day I should go to a strolling maybe next day , wait ! Speaking of.. arrghh I forgot ! Oh my ! Daniel told me earlier to get ready for a gallery-hopping. As soon as I get my phone I hurriedly open it and crap! 12 messages from him. I replied to him without reading his messages yet and as soon as I replied he calls.
"Hey looks who's on the other line hahaha."
"Ha-ha-ha really funny boy." I rolled my eyes "Sorry if i'd reply to your messages so late, you know, work hours is only for work sorry :("
"No, that's okay my Halcy, actually I'm on my way now to your apartment, you should never missed our stress reliever hahaha."
"Oh my! Okay okay I'll hang up the phone now to get ready okay ? Thank you Daniel I love you muwah."
"Hahaha see you later My Halcy , I love you more muwah bye."
"Bye." After ending our phone call I quickly go to bathroom to get a half bath and change my clothes.
"You took 30 minutes to get dressed Ms. Halcy." He looks on his watch "Hurry up or we're not going to stroll." He stands up and look at me.
"Entering my apartment without knocking huh? Really great." I sarcastically says while putting my shoes on.
"I know your code by the way hahaha why to knock?" He laugh
"Yeah yeah whatever let's go we're gonna be late isn't it ?" I look at the mirror then walk
"You put make up? I told you you're already gorgeous love."
"I am not. Uhm and this is only a light make up just to cover my blemishes." He smiles and open the door.
"You're still beautiful just the way you are my lady." then Daniel patted my head. This man never fails to make my heart race and to fill a butterflies in my stomach. I really love him even though I'm not showy. I want him to feel what my feelings are, Not to see. I swear my heart can't endure the wounds if ever he lost in my life.
"We're here ! Come on love let's go inside."
"Okay." He holds my hand and leads me to walk inside the gallery shop.
"Woah !" I exclaimed "The new arrivals of art works are so damn amazing!"
"Hahaha you like it ?"
"Yess ! So muchh !" I look to the whole room and there's an artwork that captivated my eyes.
"Like that love ?" I nod.
"Yes, it's so unique and I'm really amazed." I said in sparkling eyes. The artwork is entitled 'Un alma' means One soul. This artwork depicted an angel who's in vivid light , he has a bow and throws down the arrow and it hitted between the hands of the couple who's ready to turn around with each other and be departed. I can't explain it clearly but all I feel is a hope between them. The message of this painting is really cool. I hope I can buy that the other day :((
Time runs so fast and It's already 9pm. After strolling at the gallery shop ,we go to the nearest coffee shop and talks about random stuffs.
"Should we go now love ? It's really late right now you should be resting by this time."
"Yeaahh I'm really tired but It's worth it"
"Hahaha I really love how the way you're eyes sparkling."
"Whatever hmmp! Just finish that and let's go." I stand up and turn around to look for his car
"Okay let's go I'm done." He grabs my hand and walk on our way to his car.
"Get in." I hop in and he closed the door as soon as he get inside too. He drives and the silence really brokes my eardrums so I talk.
"Love , what if we're not for each other?"
"What's with that question? Haha."
"Just answer ! Grr."
"Hahaha okay okay, then I'll fight for our relationship." He simply answer
"Then?"
"Nothing more, why?" I rolled my eyes
"Nothing, just drive." He smile and says;
"No matter how hard it could be , I'll still stay no matter what. I'll fight until the end. I court you for a years and I pass it , so I'm sure I can make it lifetime. We can make it. I will not promise that I cannot make you cry but I probably sure that those tears are not for heartaches." After hearing his speech a single tear flows out from my eyes. Why am I so lucky with this man ? Like , I'm a mess and he is completely perfect. An ideal one.
He stops the car and stares at me.
"Hush don't cry kitty hahaha." He hugs me tight "I love you more than I say. I love you more each day , Halcy." This time I burst into tears. I can't hold it anymore. All my fears are gone. I feel safe in his arms , like no one can ever hurt me. I hug him so tight and cry as hard as I could.

I woke up with a swollen eyes. Whew It seems that I can't cover it with just a concealer, why do I cry that much huh? I get dressed and looks at the mirror, you're still gorgeous Halcy. Remember that. I walked out to my apartment and drive my car. I miss him already :((
I get out of my car and walks through the grass. A man wave me a few meters away. I smiled to him and walks as fast as I could.
"You're late Ms. Halcy."
"Sorry I'm late." I bitterly smile.
"You went here yesterday isn't it?" I just smile
"You cried so hard Halcy, how could I explain that to Daniel huh?"
"Sorry , I thought I can manage it but .. I cannot." My eyes become teary
"Hush." He hugged me "wherever my brother is, I'm sure he's not happy to see you that messed up." I burst into tears.
One year. He's gone one year ago today but It's still a pain. A great pain.
Is it true ? That you're not happy seeing me like this love ? Help me, please ? I want you to come back. I want to feel your love so bad. Even if it's impossible. When the time comes , I want to hear your lovingly laugh again. And when that time comes, I am with you.
