You Don't Know Me

CHAPTER 10 (120 seconds)

I walked slowly towards the table beside my bed to get my cellphone and turned it's flashlight on. Maybe this is the sign that God doesn't want me to torture myself from studying. hehehe!

I turned to my window ,opened it and realized that the whole village is dark.

I just lied down in my bed, feeling the fresh air while closing my eyes. The air coming from my window is cool and it gives me a relaxing feeling.

*inhale*  *exhale*

I started to hum some songs just to kill the boringness And I found myself sleepy.

*tok!* *tok!* *tok!*

I stopped humming and turned my flashlight to the door. Maybe It's Baby who's going to ask if I'm all right.

I stood up and arranged my hair because it was messy when I lied down. I slowly turned the door knob and opened the door.

O____________________O me

-_____________________- him

" Hey! don't focus your flashlight on my eyes! " I said with an irritated tone while moving his flashlight away from me. We stared at each other for a while when I got back to my senses and remembered something.

" What do you want? " I asked him while crossing my arms. He's still fighting with himself whether he'll tell me or not. He's too obvious when he's shy. I discovered that. hihihi!

" Ca- can I stay here? "

" Where? In our house? " What is this guy talking about? Well, he can stay here until—- until he's fine. Does father wants him to get out of here? WEEEEE! happy me!

" No. I—I mean.. " Great! now he's stuttering! how Am I able to understand what's he's saying?

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes but opened them immediately.

" Can I stay here with you for a while? " He said without taking any pause. Well, now I understand what he's——??? WAIT!!! WHAT?!

" YOU WANNA STAY HERE WITH ME IN MY ROOM?! "

" shuuush! Not particularly in your room, but..." Well, I didn't mean to shout thou. I was just carried away by my astonishment.

" But what? " I asked him again. This guy really knows how to make a person curious.

" I'm just not used to a dark place. " Then he scratched his head. Oh? so that's the reason?

" So, you want me to accompany you? "

" I just don't want to be alone. That's all. " Then he smirked. Earlier, he's so shy, now he's going back in being stubborn again. Seriously? A BIPOLAR guy in the house? How Am I able to deal things with him?

" Tss! Just wait here. I'll be back." Then I started walking away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Me: What?

Him: I—-ummm— Can I come with you?

Me: Tsss! Nevermind. Come with me.

 I started walking out the room then went to the dining area with him on my side. Is he afraid? or something?

Him: What are we going to do here?

Me: Just getting some foods.

Him: Where are we going anyway?

Me: rooftop. It's bright there.

We took the stairs then silently taking each steps. When we reached the top..

Me: Here!

I lend him the Fries I bought earlier. While eating my breakfast at Mcdo, I remembered him so I decided to give him those.

" Those are food Mister. Stop staring and start eating will you?" I told him. He opened then took a fries out.

He seemed to enjoy it which made me smile. I was completely absorbed with the beautiful scene in the sky. It's full of stars. The moon if full which makes a light here at the top. The air is cool like I was walking beside the winter sea.

I let out a deep sigh.

" What are you thinking? " I was taken aback by his sudden question. I didn't know he can open up a conversation.

Instead of teasing him, I faced him while he's staring at the night sky.

" Nothing. " Then I smiled like I was amused to myself.

" You? what are you thinking? " I asked him. This is just a one of a kind opportunity to talk to him at this state.

" Nothing. " He retorted.

" tsss! You just copied my answer. " I said with an irritated tone. He just smirked.

" You copied my question. " He said. But this time he's staring at me. I feel so uncomfortable on our situation so I stared at the sky again trying to avoid his gaze. Why does it feel so awkward? I'm certainly not used to this.

" Oh wait! You lost your memory right? "

" why? " he turned to me then I met his gaze once again.

I faced the sky AGAIN. " You still can't remember anything?"

I may sound so nosy but what can I do? The air is full of awkwardness and for some unknown reason, It gives me goose bumps. This may be right time to get closer to him right? And to know him more.

" Not much. "

" You're saying that our memories are coming back? "

Well, that's good news! Not only for me but for both of us.

" They're... broken memories. " He added. I can feel from his tone that he's somehow lonely and disappointed.

I saw another side of him.

" Your family might be looking for you by now. " I already faced him. They said that it's very inappropriate to talk to someone when you're not facing them.

 Am I just reasoning? Not a chance right?

When I realize that he's not planning to give me a reply, I asked him again.

" Aren't you lonely? "

I can clearly see his face at this angle because of the moonlight. Those eyes...those lashes... No no no! no no! not again!

" I am. I know you are too. " I was caught off guard by his words. He said those with confident like he's really 100% sure that we're both feeling the same way. LONELINESS.

" How can you say? " I asked him again. As the time goes by, I'm starting to be comfortable being with him.

" You're alone here.. in your house. " Now he's looking at me. Like he's sympathizing with me.

" You're here now. I'm not alone anymore. " I let out a smile. We made an eye contact for almost 2 minutes until the light suddenly went back.

I let out a deep breath.

" I'm going down first. " He excused himself. I just nod in response.

2 minutes???

120 seconds???
