The ring

I think it's still a good idea to explain a bit about my unusual nature, so I took a deep breath, choosing the right words.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night." I didn't dare look him in the eye, afraid that he would discover something was wrong, so I turned my eyes in a different direction. "Because... you appear to be a friend of mine."

"The whole name?" His voice was so soft that I couldn't hear his thoughts, but when I looked up into his eyes, I could clearly see what he was thinking. You looking at me with a look 'let me see how much more you can say.'

I was momentarily speechless, but the javelin had to go with the javelin, so I had to close my eyes and say it wasn't bad.

Believe it or not, I admit that when in front of him I couldn't think of any more convincing reasons, my mind was so confused that I couldn't find another reason.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on me as if he was studying something, momentarily numbing me, as if he were looking through me to see that person of his.

Yes, it was the person lying in the tomb yesterday, I saw and heard his words with my own eyes.

You are saying I'm the same as her, which is why you're here today? It is true, he is always been thousands of kilometres away from people, except for that reason, what else? But up to this point, I think if it's stupid, it's not bad.

This thought made my heart flutter for a moment, but mixed with indescribable joy. I lifted my head and looked into him eyes. "As a matter of fact, I..."

The words that had originally come out of my mouth were suddenly swallowed by me, because in the moment I was about to tell the truth, my eyes accidentally touched the ring on his hand.

"I'll go out first." That is all I wanted to say, running around, leaving the man who was still looking at my back.

When the determination was completely out of him sight, I stumbled toward the bathroom. All the repression from the beginning to the moment turned into tears that spilled, less than a few minutes were wet all over my face.

I stared at myself in the mirror. The premature makeup was tangled with tears, even I didn't know that the person with that ruffled appearance was me.

I held out my hand to touch the mirror that reflected my own reflection, and another tear came down.

The ring he wears on his little finger, represents marriage and love, is his brand with someone I don't know, is also the link of his life and... her.

Someone outside of me!

Fate is taken care of itself, you can't wait for me. Whether it was a long time ago or now, we missed ourselves like this again.

I don't know how long I cried, I looked at my reflection, my eyes were red and swollen from crying too much, I carefully applied my makeup to cover the storm in my heart when I bounced.

I made myself put on the smile that I thought was the most perfect, and then I took the courage to get out.

I knew myself very early on that the outcome of that meeting was extremely fragile, so I did not dare hope for an answer. Pain when you rebound is simply because it is temporarily unacceptable.

I thought to myself, just seeing it is fine, no need to be like before, no need to selfishly desire you to be mine...

But I... still couldn't hold back the pain that soon covered my heart and body, still couldn't stop crying because of this ending.

The ending that I picked for myself.

Wait for me to be sober, mentally stable, I return to my position, lunch time is over, everyone is back, the room is animated again, everyone is busy finishing. Nobody has the time to pay attention where I went or my eyes are still red and swollen.

That's good, I took the opportunity to sit still in my seat, when my eyes touched the face of the person on the screen of the phone, my lips unwittingly bent upwards.

He has not changed in a while. It's just that from an enthusiastic teenage boy, he now has the peace of mind of an adult.

I am running the numbers, he might be twice my age right now, right? If it was not for that year... the present owner of the other ring is probably the one I am most familiar with.

Eighteen years, at the end of eighteen years of absence, things occurred that I had absolutely no idea about. Originally, I was trying to get close to him, thinking that by meeting him and being with him, I could compensate for what happened in the past.

But maybe I was wrong, until now when I turn my head, I suddenly find out that there is no longer an age gap between me and my brother, but something very, very high. As if there were a great wall between you and me, no matter what you do now, he won't be able to compensate...

I returned with a very complicated mood, afraid that my parents would realize that I tried to calm my mind a little bit before entering the house, but my mood still couldn't be stabilized can hide.

I had to lie that I was a bit tired and then made an excuse to go back to my room, I couldn't tell them that their children fell in to love To Duong and then failed unilateral, with my father's personality. The house will be stormy, maybe even reach him ears.

But... it's not exactly unilateral maybe it's just a step towards another page. For example, you are living your life at this moment, and I am also living my other life.

We are like two parallel lines that do not collide or exist in the other person is life.
