I want to call him, talk to him-just the two of us and ask him about the things he told me and what I meant to him. Lately, he's been telling me words that a stupid friend wouldn't tell you. I don't want to feel awkward with him and I don't want him to. I just want to clear out things that's been living in my mind for hours now.

I never been in love. I mean.. with real people. I only cry over boys who are fictional. I never waste my tears crying over a boy who doesn't think enough about his future-and it's a big turn off. I don't really have an ideal guy, as long as you're hardworking, honest, and most especially- a dreamer. 

A dreamer who shares his dreams with me. A dreamer that isn't afraid to take risks. The one who would accept me and my 20 other personalities. Too much, maybe he's not existing.

But I already had a crush,but I don't consider it as 'love' because it was just...I JUST DON'T. My childhood crush-and I don't even know his name, just his seven-year old figure-not his face too, he always wear a Spider-Man mask.

I always see him playing in our street, he would wore his red cape and would run like he's been chased by a dog. At that time, I was in the garden, reading The Little Prince. He was too noisy and it makes my concentration gone. 

My temper was quite low, so I shouted at him.

“Hey-you!” I yelled making him stop and glanced at me.

“Can you just be quiet? Can you see that I'm reading here?” 

“Probably...no.” 

“And now you know, so you better be quiet, okay? Or else I will call 911.”

“They would just hang up your call. It's nonsense.”

He never stopped his afternoon habit and he always annoy the six-year old me with his sound effects he added with his own voice, it sounds like a cheap dying car.

Until one day, we became friends. I don't know how that happened. I never saw his face, just hear his voice. I was crying that time by the reason Mom wouldn't let me ride my bike without training wheels. I was sitting next to the tree that time and then he sat with me.

“Why are you crying, weird kid?” he ask and I ignored him. “ You shouldn't cry about stuffs that doesn't deserve your tears. Don't worry, you'll get better soon.”

Then after that, we started talking about different types of nonsense. We would talk about Jake and The Neverland Pirates, the untold story of abandoned places, and stuffs about him and me. I once ask him if he could take off his mask, but he always tell me he can't do it. And the only name I gave him is 'spiderboy'. And he called me 'weird kid'.

Until one afternoon, I never saw Spiderboy again. I can't find him in the village anymore. I would ask my Mom, “Have you seen Spiderboy?” they would just laugh at me.

I really don't consider it as 'fall-in-love'. I didn't cry because of him or his departure. And I hope one day we'll meet again-but that would be impossible since I got no idea what his name is or how he looks like.

Today's our last day of trip. We gathered a lot of memories and experience first times. I woke up without Miss Mia beside me. I saw a note on the side table saying, "Darling, we borrowed your camera, I didn't wake you up, you're sleeping well, we will be back at seven."

It was already quarter past seven when Miss Mia entered the room with Grandpa and Tim- holding a small pouch. Then Tim opened it and films scattered in the bed sheet. I was left in an awe when I saw our faces. All of the pictures we took are now developed. I scanned each and I can't say any word.

“I'm planning to paste it on the walls in the stall.” Grandpa stated. 

Tim was smiling while looking at the picture, I stared at him and then he stared back. He then show me the picture he's looking. It was him, the photo Grandpa took before we ride the Ferris wheel.

 “Handsome,right?” 

“No.” Grandpa interrupted and then mess Tim's hair. 

Tim's eyes squinted and act upset. “The cashier told me my brown eyes are perfect.”

“Just eyes. Not face.” I said making him look at me in surprise leaving Grandpa do his dance and Miss Mia laughing. He put his hands on his chest acting he's hurt.

“Anyways...” We all look to Grandpa's direction. “We will be leaving tomorrow morning... Early in the morning, then we will be back to work the next day.” 

“Yeps.”

“We need to change the music track and the books, too.”

Then silence covered the room and then an idea struck in my mind.

“How about... we write our own book?”

Tim stopped scanning the pictures then Miss Mia's lips opened in surprise and her eyes went round. Then they all gave a look that says, what-are-you-talking-about-?

“That's crazy.” Miss Mia replied with a wobbly voice.

“Why not give it a try?” Grandpa stated.

I stared at Grandpa and give him a wink.

“ Don't tell me we'll be writers this time?” Miss Mia questioned while putting his right hand in his forehead.

“Certainly.”

“Oh God.”

    Timothy's POV.She looks tired but she looks fine on the inside. I stared at Sir Flinn as she talked with Kath in the kitchen- his tears ar estreaming down while holding his granddaughter's hand. Miss Mia sat beside me and we both watched them with a heavy heart. “ She's too precious, right? ” she spoke and her voice cracked. I smiled at her and eyes stayed still watching the painful scene. “An angel.” I said and stood up when Isaw Kathareen stared at me. “ I am just going to gt some fresh air-just outside.” I spoke and quickly left the room.I walked to the garden and messed my hair. Seeing her trying to bare with the pain is more painful. I stared at the sky and covered my face th both of my palms in frustration. There are billions of people around this world, but why does it have to be her? Why does it have to be the lady I wish I will grow up with?

    “ But... if you try the therapy, you'll live longer, right”I flinched with her words knowing she is just 7 years old. I played with the fabric of my dress and faced her with a nervous smile on my face. I took a deep breath before straightening my back to came close to her. I stroked her black hair and darted my eyes on her.“You know...there are choices you are going to make and only you know why you choose that. You are still young..there's more adventures you are going to face. But I want you to...be strong. You may not understand the decisions I made, I know one day you will.. and this may be the first we talk to each other.. I hope you will never forget my name..Zoe Kathareen.” I stated.She stared at the little doll she's holding and then faced wit

    “Oh gosh-is this real?”I kept on scrolling until I made myself believe it was real. It has been a week since I completed this story and yet- THERE ARE ALREADY 20,000 READS. I checked the comments they left and it touched my heartbeat. Some says that they didn't expect the ending and actually, me too.I took a deep breath and closed my laptop. I took a sip of my green tea and watched how the butterflies danced in the air, and how the blue the clouds are. After seconds of daydreaming, Tim appeared in my vision who's carrying a white box. He smiled at me when our eyes met and placed the box on the table beside me.” What's that?” I asked while he is slowly taking off the tape.“The printer.”“So..you're really serious about it, huh?”&nb

  • Living And Dying   i lived a life

    I slowly opened my eyes as the crisp of sunrays touched my face. The wall of my room is thin and I can hear murmurs from the living room. I hit the buttton in my side table to signal Miss Mia that I am already awake. After some seconds, she entered my room with her curly hair tied in a high ponytail and a wide genuine smile painted on her face. Staring at her made me left in an awe.“Rise and shine, sunshine!””Miss, you are freaking gorgeous..” I said in my hoarsy voice while she sets up my oxygen tank. She just glance at me and shake her head and continued on our morning routine.While she's combing my hair, I heard Tim's voice and Grandpa's and their voices sounds so excited. “What's going on outside?” I asked as I fixed the transparent tube being attac

    “Is you-uhm..and Mom in a-uhm..-are you not in good state?” I asked Grandpa while he's arranging the flowers in Grandma's grave. “ I never heard Mom talking about you or Grandma..I'm just..curious.” I continued and unconciously run my fingers with the metal part of the wheelchair.He sat down in the green grass while hugging both of knees and playing with the petals of the flower. “ Your Mom...was mad at me before until the time you saw her in the stall..when she was 18,when your grandma died..she left me and said she wants to live her own life. I let her go but as a father, I don't want her to suffer in poverty, so I gave her one of my company-”“ Wait..what?”He gazed at me but he doesn't to be surprised at all-no single sign. “ I thought she was just a regular worker..” I stated with my hush voice. “Wait, so..you're the one who..named the company, right?” I asked aga

    My hands were trembling as I slowly typed the words. I listened to a hundred of songs to make sure that I'll convey the emotions well.I typed and typed and finally reached the last two words.The End.I stared at it long enough to consume the thought that I made it this far.I read the chapter from the top and made sure there are less errors. The feeling was unexplainable. I did it. I finished the novel. I took a deep sigh of relief as I saved it and closed my laptop. I stared at the view- mountains, big trees, green valleys, the lake, children playing with their kites-a home. While enjoying the view, a van suddenly stopped in front of our house. I waited until I saw a familiar figure of someone-her dark complexion, her cury hair, and finally..her lovely face.“ Miss Mia!” I screamed making my lungs stopped working for a moment. She gave me her wides

  • Living And Dying   tell them my name.

    I can't count how many times I already reread this book but everytime I do, it feels like I am reading it for the first time again. Every page gives magic and even though this novel breathes despair, and the characters are perfect but the dearest author just..killed them, I am still proud to say I am the number one fan of this 386 pages book.“ Kath! Are you done?”I didn't listen to Tim as he screamed from the garden. “Zoe Kathareen! Did you hear me well?” He shouted again.“Almost..” I replied even though only me can hear my voice.I heard his footsteps and I can feel him standing behind me. He pattes my head with his wet hands and it was freaking cold. I turned my head to him with narrowed eyes and wrinkled forehead. “ Stop it Timothy..”“Are you not sleepy?” he asked as

    “Ten chapters left.” I uttered replying to Tim's question. HIs eyes went big and there was a smile that formed in his face. I give him a finger gun and scratched the bridge of my nose. I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling. “ I don't know if this is a great story... I don't feel like it's worth someone's time.” I stated while both of my hands are entagled and on top of my forehead.The smile on his face disappeared and he gave me a glare. “ What are you talking about?” he asked but I didn't respond. He went to the window sill and arranged the vases and then opened the curtain letting the light in. “ You know... not everyone can write a novel..” he uttered leaning at the wall while his legs are crossed. “People like you, who are blessed with writing skill are rare... and you should never be yourself's first hater. You may think your story is lousy it's because you already know everything about that story...how it will end or how you

    I sip the smoothie Grandpa made for me. It tastes great than the ones being served in the hospital. The doctor visited me yesterday and talked with Grandpa about my condition. I also grab the opportunity to apologize for how I act the last time we saw each other. He says that it's normal for him, and he already encountered a lot of dramas like what happened to me and him. But actually, I can't look him in the eye and I know there's a litte regret in me after he left, might be the last time I'll see him.Earlier, Miss Dehlaila helped me clean and wash myself. She was so gentle of me..and the way she speak and move is very gracious. Every time our eyes meet, she always gave me her sweet smile showing her perfect white teeth. She told me that she and Miss Mia are like soulmates-they are friends since they were in their teenage years when Miss Mia has to work for her family. They worked in the same shop where Miss Dehlaila is a wait
