Chapter 12: Hug

Good and energetic music are everywhere. It was late already but who cares? This is a celebration after all. No one can stop people from celebrating good things that happened in their lives.

Being here at the beach once for a life time makes it more memorable. The sound of the wave and the loud energetic music, the colorful lights, the people and everything. Everything looks fun and refreshing and calming and all.

The people are dancing and singing like there is no tomorrow. I can see on their eyes that they're saying 'Life is short. Do all what you can do. Do all the thing that makes you happy and forget all the worries and problems.'

I wish I could be like them. The way they show their happiness. The genuine one. Not just laughing but that happiness that is visible on one's eye.

I just shake my head and focused my attention on Rojen that's still busy eating Mr. Pome's grilled chicken. I think he already ate 4 of them and 3 sticky rice.

"Roj, don't eat that much. You mught get heart burn and indigestion."

"Oh. Really? I didn't know that."

"Yes! So stop eating and drink your water. Take a rest then later on, we'll enjoy the beach."

"Okay. I promise this will be the last one." He said then I saw Mr. Pome brought one more piece of grilled chicken.

I did nothing but to watch him eat. He eats like he can't taste Mr. Pome's grilled chicken and sticky rice anymore.

After about 10 minutes of eating, He finally finished his food and rest his back on the chair, hard to get air to breath.

"Are you full?"

"Yeah." He answerednwhile yawning.

I just laughed at him because he looked so sleepy after he eated tons of grilled chicken.

"Hey! Don't sleep. It's not good to sleep while your stomach is full." I said as he was about to fall asleep.

"Why?" He asked lazily.

"You'll get nightmare."

He opened his eyes widely and stood up.

"No! I don't wanna get nightmares. It's too scary." He said.

"I know that's why don't try to sleep with full stomach and don't eat too much at night or you'll get indigestion and heartburn. You get me?"

"Yeah." He replied and sitted again.

"I suggest, let's take a stroll. It's better for you to digest faster."

"Great. That seems fun."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's have fun atleast for one night. Let's forget all the worries tonight and have some fun like there is no tomorrow."

"Yes! That's a great idea."

We told Mr. Pome that we wanted to take a tour on the whole place. He agreed but he told us that we have to be careful because we don't know the people here.

We started to walk and just watch people at the center having fun and dancing. It almost been an hour since it was started but people aren't get tired here.

I brought enough money with me to buy drinks. Just a small bit of alcohol that my body needs.

I grabbed Rojen's hand and brought him to the nearest shop where they sell bottled drinks. I bought two. one for me and one for Rojen. I wanted him to taste it.

"Two bottles please."

"Right away maam." The bartender said and lend us two bottles of beer.

"What's this?" Rojen asked, cofused.

"Beer. It taste good. Maybe a little bit bitter at first but I make sure you'll get used to it." I said and winked at him.

I paid for two bottles and started to walk away again.

"What kind of drink is this?"

"Alcohol."

"What?! The alcohol I know is tobfight germs and virus.

I laughed at him.

"Let me tell you this, Roj. There are three types of alcohol. For virus and germs like what you said, alcohol that they put on perfumes and other chemicals and alcohol that is suitable for human body and mix it with beverages." I said.

"What are the names of those alcohol?"

"Isoprophyl, Methyl and Ethyl."

"Where is the alcohol that is mixed on beverages?"

"Why do you ask a lot of questions?"

"I'm curious. We might get poisoned if we drink this alcohol."

"I've been drinking lots of alcohol already and I-"

"Fiona, What happened?"

"My stomach hurts, argh!"

Rojen's POV

"Fiona, What happened?" I asked as she touches her stomach.

"My stomach hurts, argh!"

"Fiona! What is happening!" I'm so worried. I don't know what to do. Should I carry her and brought to the nearest clinic? Should I get help? What?!

"AAA! Argh. Rojen! I-it hurts!" She stammer.

"What? Where?! Fiona! Tell me." I did nothing but to ask her. I really don't know what to do. I don't have my powers so I can do nothing.

I was about to cry and get help when she laughed really hard. I don't what she was doing so I get my hands out of her.

"What are you doing?" I said while sniffing.

"Just kidding. You're being over acting. Alcohol is not poisonous. Just don't drink too much." She said, still laughing.

"Do you think it's funny?" I asked. There's a strange feeling inside me that I don't know. I felt like I am being aggresive.

"Hey. I'm just kidding okay? I'm sorry."

I tried to calm myself but I can't. I'm trying not to get angry but I don't know why I felt this.

"Do you know that I get worried? And now you're saying that you're kidding? You're making me angry, Fiona. I shouldn't feel this but I can't stop myself. I can't stop myself worrying about you that's why I am being angry because of what you have done." I said.

"I really am sorry, Rojen. It's my fault that I made you feel angry. I'm really sorry." she replied.

"I don't know how to calm myself, Fiona. What should I do? I'm still angry because of what you have done." I said.

I really don't know what to do. She already said sorry and I should forgive her but why am I still angry? I shouldn't feel this. I should not.

While thinking what to do, I didn't notice that Fiona hugged me tight and about a coupoe of seconds as I get to back to my realizations, I hugged her back.

"I think this will help you to calm down. That's what I've heard. Hugging someone make him or her feel calm. I hope this will work." She said.

Yes I think it's working. It's really working. The anger inside me is reducing. I felt more calm now.

Fiona makes me worry. But now I realized that she also makes me feel calm.
