Chapter 16: Reality
I woke up to the light coming from the sun. The wind coming from the window, the dancing curtain that was attached to my window. I open my eyes and rub them with my hands, I saw Kei asleep beside me while hugging me.
I brush her hair in her face. She's beautiful even asleep, you can see how clear her skin and her silky hair are as brush her hair. While I'm patting and brushing her hair she slowly opens her eyes. I love that sight, you can see her emerald eyes. I love every single one in her, I just love her.
She open her eyes and saw me, she smile and touch my face. "Good morning darling". I greet her after she woke up. "Good morning sunshine". she replied to me. " Let's wash up and make a breakfast". I invite her so I can already take her home. " After we eat, let's take a shower and I will take you home". " Yeah, darling".
We go downstairs and made breakfast, after we ate we took a shower. Later on, we arrived at their house as usual at around eight-quarter of her parents were always on the bench eating breakfast. I greet them and said good morning.
" Hi, Auntie, Uncle, I take her home, yesterday Kiel took Max home, and it's already midnight so I bought Kei at my house," I explained why I only took Kei home in the morning. " Yes Gel, thank you so much, sorry to bother you". I replied immediately and said " No aunt, it's my pleasure to take Kei home safe." Auntie said that and Uncle talk and ask what was happened yesterday and if we enjoy it.
" So did you enjoy your day with Max? It's been a while so hope you enjoy". Kei answers her dad's question with a smile like a child. " Yes Dad, I enjoy our day, it's so much fun. I can still relapse how fun that is. I'm so happy that we're all once together again." As Kei speaks, I smile at how much she looks happy as she talks. Not a while, Auntie talk and ask Keisha. " How about your relationship with Kiel? Is there any progress." I heard what Keisha's mother meant to say.
Suddenly, reality slaps me in the face. You can't blame me, I can't control my feelings, this is what my heart and head shouting. I know what future I'm heading to but I can't still stop here. We're just starting, I'm not blocking their communication and I don't have any intention to stop them. As I'm the one on her side, I will stay, always.
Can I escape from reality and turned the table and change my destiny? Is this the only destination that has been waiting for me?
Once again, my head is full of questions that even myself doesn't know the answer. All my life and future are just based on them. I'm just always on their side and not in front and that's what I want so maybe I will stay what I have to stay. I don't want to cross a line and block them together. As a friend I want them to be happy, even if it's hurt me as long they were happy it's okay. I'm always gonna love Kei and nothing more.
I came back to my senses and heard what Keisha answered. So she answer her parent's question about what they expected Kei should be replied to. " Yes, Mother, things go smoothly, there's nothing to worry about." If her parents can't see how sad her voice and face are well I can tell, I'm always watching her so I know what she to wants reply torealhe is not a coward it's just she doesn't want to disappoint her parents. Everything, for her, I will understand everything. I can and I should cause that's the only I could do.
