Memory #1: Pain Meets Comfort

Three o'clock in the afternoon. I saw you. I just let go of the food I was carrying when your lips gradually came together. I want to run to you and show that man that I am your man, I am the first, you are mine.

But for some reason I could not move as if I had seen the medusa and I was slowly stiffening in my position. It hurts, you know? It's too much.

I would have surprised you because it was your birthday and our first anniversary, but I think I was the one who was surprised.

You stopped kissing as if there's no tomorrow and you saw me. You suddenly realized and you hurried over to me but I ran.

I do not need your explanation, because it's clear to me that you cheated on me.

I just ran and ran until I don't know where I'm going but I want to get away from you, get away from the both of you. I'm foolish enough for not knowing that you are fooling me. My legs just stopped running and I just sat on the ground where I was standing.

I cried and cried like the boy next to me here in my seat. He's also crying  like me, the only difference is, he cries because he looks that he's lost and I cry because I was cheated on.

The boy's parents came and carried him, I envied him. It's good that the parents of the child came back. How about me? I'm here left alone. I feel like crying again. It's so annoying.

I'm like a cry baby!

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when I decided to get up and walk on my knees. I just walked slowly, until I bumped into something. When I raised my head, I saw an unfamiliar face and to my surprise, he handed me a handkerchief but I did not know him.

"Hi! Here is my handkerchief, it looks like you need it. Your face is already ruined."

He said while laughing.

He's unbelievable! He thinks that we have known each other for a long time? HAHA.

"Thanks for the handkerchief. But if you will just insult me, I don't have time for that." I replied to him.

"Hahahaha! You still can't control your temper, and you're still a cry baby."

He suddenly said.

I was stunned. Wait, why did he answer like that? Why does he seem to already know me?

"Excuse me? Do I know you?"

I answered him.

"By the way, I do not know you. What is your name?" He replied back.

"I'm Arthur, and you? Who are you?" 

I just told him.

"Hahahaha! I know. I know you, I just really want your name to come from you. Ice-cream and fries? My treat!" Mr. Stranger said.

Wait. Why do we seem to like the same food?

"I-ice cream and f-fries?!" I replied in shock.

"Yes, that's your favorite, especially when you are stressed or you feel bad." He replied again.

Why does he know? Who does he think he is?

Because I wanted to know who he was, I went along.
