Falling In Love With Era

SIMON POV After that phone call I had with Era, it took me hours to let it sink into my very awed mind. Knowing that Era has still managed to remember our telephone number has left me gasped and shook my head in disbelief. We haven't talked for two years until she called last night and the fact that she still remembers our telephone number wow. I know I have said that a lot for the last hours of my life. I don't think I even slept. I have been staring at my ceiling when Kim knocks twice on the door and opens it eventually knowing it's never locked.  Her  face pops into the door, “Will you drive me to the show?” She asks. It's not asking permission actually, it's just asking if I would drive her to the show, which is an obligation regardless of whether I resist or insist. “I'm busy.” I sigh and close my eyes.&nbs

  (Chapter Songs:Nevertheless by RIOHeavy Heart by RIO) SIMON POVI leave my car and walk towards the front of the coffee shop for the second time this morning. The sun burns my skin, so I hurry towards the glass door. When I get inside, I immediately meet her two grey eyes while she’s serving a coffee to the woman in front of her.I don’t make it to the line first, instead I just look for a table to sit down. When I find one to the very corner, which is next to an old man with his granddaughter, I guess, probably, aged between 8 and 10. She is looking at me with a weird stare on her face. Just good. Yeah. Just stare at me, kid. There are more people slipping into their seats but I’m glad there aren’t so much tables so it doesn’t get too crowded. I look away and fix my gaze to the

It's seven in the evening. Simon is getting us some cake and fruit salad, so while he's gone I wander around his room. It's so quiet and peaceful. There's a sound of soft wind from the window. I missed it being here. Being so comfortable looking at his things like I used to do. But I carefully distance my hands from the frames on his desk. I get a feeling it won't be right to touch them yet. In that picture, there's me and him, probably, six years ago, outside their front yard eating ice cream in the middle of the night. I remember that. I remember he was pushing me to confess to him that I liked him if I don't do it, I have to buy us ice cream. It was a wreck dare because I couldn't say anything about confessing. I would never wanna lie about something I'd never feel. “Sup?” Simon is back with two transparent glasses in his two hands. His eyes drops to the frame behind me. “Were you looking at those?” He asks with a familiar smile hanging ton his lips. I nod, “Yeah. You know it'

Happiness is a motion of moments. It happens when you see someone you love smile at certain things that both of you used to know and now still remembers. It's when you find this one place that reminds you of pure joy and freedom and innocence. It feels like you never wanna get back home anymore. It seems like the problems are gone. My broken family is forgotten and now I'm sitting to the person that makes me forget I was ever lonely or messed up. Happiness is when that person makes you feel valued. Era makes me feel valued. “So how long was it with you and Brad?” I finally found the courage to ask because I've been trying to avoid it but also I've been thinking about it. Era licks on her ice cream before she answers me. “It was that night when I told you I didn't want to fix things with you. That was... the night he ended things between us.” “How so? I mean you were so in love.” My eyes find the sun setting.“I was.” She purses her lips. “He was the one who was no longer in love

It's Sunday afternoon. I haven't seen Simon for two days. Aside from I was busy with loaded tasks in the work, I have to take care of my father. He has high fever for the past few days. I guess Simon did not know, but he never once came over or something. There wasn't much that I was expecting from him at all, I just hope that he would want to see me. I push open the door with my foot as I balance the box of dirty useless stuffs of our aging house that has been stored in for the past years. There were tissues, dusty teddy bears that to never be owned by anyone, there were papers with randoms things written in it. I decided to clean up for more since dad is out for work today. And of course, I've got the whole house. The only last thing left to do is hanging the rest of the frames on the wall. “Era!” I look around, but I could not see anyone then when I look up, Kim is waving her two hands at me. “Kim, hey,” I wave back.She gives me a full smile. “Can you come over tonight?” I d
