Novel & Cerita Long Time No See

"Long time no see, my love." "Six months. Are you done playing hide-and-seek?"

Like dewdrops on a leaf, her eyes were shiny from tears that wouldn't fall. He looked across the room and saw Alice's eyes again. They both knew something from that look, even though they didn't say a word. They were on the edge of a very high cliff. Very soon, they would have to choose whether to go back to their safe homes or jump into the unknown together. The wall clock struck twelve. The silent sound filled the dining room, which was now empty. Like sand in a sieve, time was running out. It was getting darker and darker where their secret lay. What were the next few days going to bring? Time would tell.

After a glance at me, he slipped out of the room, and in the hospital hallway, I saw him hold his head and quietly weep. Was he regretting not speaking to me before the surgery? It no longer mattered. Seeing his profound sadness was enough to show me he loved me too. They planned my funeral for three days later—the same day Lily was scheduled for discharge. They sent out death notices to friends and family. All my friends gathered at my wake three days later. When my best friend, Tessa Brooks, saw Lily's crocodile tears, she slapped her hard across the face. "You bitch! Why are you even here? Get out of here!"

As we're waiting for our order I look over him as sneakily as possible. He's tall maybe six-two or six-three, he looks lean underneath his jacket and dark jeans. His teeth are perfect and white and his skin really looks like brown satin; I want to touch him just to see if it's as smooth as it looks. Oops! My thoughts are running away while I'm looking at him so I turn away and look at the menu. I thought it would be a long time before I could have these feelings again. A year seems so close and yet so far away I can hardly remember how I spent my time then. I let myself wallow too long over that fool. NEVER AGAIN. I think angrily.

He looked at my eyes seriously and that also made me more serious to listen to him attentively. "The Clepsydra. An hourglass but not the usual one. It contains water instead of sands. That's what they used to manipulate time," he said while looking at me directly at my eyes. Clepsydra? I haven't heard that word yet. I don't even have an idea of whatever it is if Cayden didn't tell me what it is. It's just new to me and just by how mysterious its name is, I know that it'll give us a hard time having it or whatever he's planning to do with it. But wait... Did he just tell me things about time?

If you really are true, help me get out of here. My breath can't last any longer. Maybe this is really how I'm going to die. I hope so. In the place where I will be, I will forget all the pain I've experienced. Please, just let me remember all the happy memories... just the happy ones. No one's POV "Time is the one who brings changes. Even if we do not want to, it is impossible to keep things the way they used to be." The old man gazed at the moon.

Be the memory that will remind me that at some point, I once loved. Loving him, the one who says the phrase "Long time no see."

We had gone almost two weeks into the month of February and it was Monday morning around 10 am on the 12th February 2019, when I received a video call from Peter. As I picked, he greeted me with a song by Christiana Perri, A Thousand Years. He sang along as the song was played at the background. He smiled along and blew kisses to me, with a look on this face that felt like “I want you.” I smiled and sang along.

Sara asked. “First, let’s see what is on this,” Garett said as he motioned for her to come and sit down next to him. This was the moment they both had been waiting for since she found the first flash drive. When she was settled, he looked at her and took her hand, and then plugged the small thing in the port. It started to buzz as the computer was taking a few minutes to process what was on it. They were both holding their breaths as they waited. It seemed like it was taking forever. “Computer is slow,” Garett said.
