I don't like man, If not you

Part 43: I'm such a fool

" Skydiving?"

" Uhm."

Singto and Godt left the two behind, When they walking passed the lifeguards, Godt stopped walking and said to them.

" If anything happens right there, don't mind them, just act like that you didn't see anything, this is my advice for you."

Godt was pointing to the place that Bass and Krist standing.

" It seems like you're used to this kind of situation." Singto said.

" It forced me to"

Godt reluctantly shrugged. Bass glared at the two who walking away from them.

" Go, go away, we don't need you, there's nothing rare about you guys, all we did was just tell you to quarrel with each other, so selfish! Krist, let's play, two of us is enough."

" What are we going to play?"

" Go swimming."

Krist looked at the sea, got hesitated a little bit, it's not because he's afraid of water, also it's not because he don't know how to swim, it's because what happened to Mei, Krist's childhood friend that made him afraid of swimming places, he's scared, scared of touching something inside his heart that he didn't want to touch.

" Can only swim in shallow place."

" Tsk tsk, kid, can't do that, watch this and learn."

After the words Bass aimed toward the sea, when he was about to jump into the water, he ran back, looked to the left then turned to the right, carefully took a blanket to cover his snack foods.

"'If I'm not careful, it will be stolen."

Krist had the urge to kick his butt. After carefully hiding his food, Bass jumped into the water, started swimming. Krist stepped forward, clapped his hand.

" You look like a dog swimming."

Bass teasingly said, Bass was too confident. Krist also jumped in, took a deep breath, went deep into the water, a moment later he came up but he couldn't see Bass anywhere, he called out loud.

" Bass, Bass."

No one replied to him. Krist went further deep in the water, suddenly his face got pale when he saw Bass's dead-like body, he moved toward him, strongly shook Bass, Bass's body got startled, Krist was shocked, unfortunately how he couldn't scream in the water, two of them came up on the water. Krist breathlessly asked.

" Seriously what are you doing?"

" Play dead" Bass innocently replied.

" Bass, today I'm gonna kill you."

Krist pushed Bass into the water, Bass struggled, swam far away from him.

" When I'm under the water, I'm the siren, it's not that easy to catch me."

At that time, Bass suddenly struggled: "Krist!"

Bass still haven't finished his words, he got sank into the sea.

" Still thinking that I'll believe you?"

" My toes got numb, hurry and save me."

Bass was struggling in the water again, sank down then raised up again and again. When Krist approached him, Bass was almost drowned at the bottom, Krist grabbed his wrist pulled him up out of the sea to the sand. Krist looked around, was about to call someone, Bass grabbed his wrist, breathlessly looked at Krist,

" Krist, I, it seems like I can't hold my breath any longer, cough cough." Bass held onto his own chest.

" Don't talk nonsense, You will be fine, I'll immediately call someone to save you"

Krist panically comforted him."Let, let me, let me finish my words, please say to P' Godt that I love him, even when I'm dead, I will still love him, cough. After my death, please scatter my ashes at the sea or at the river, it's nice to have a friend like you, there's nothing to regret about this life, cough cough, I feel so cold, breathing is getting hard, I, I'm gonna..."

Krist was too panic that he started tearing up.

"Don't talk anymore, I'll immediately call for P'Sing."

Krist wildly waved at Singto and Godt.

" P'Sing."

Singto and Godt turned their heads to look at them, saw Bass like a dead man laying on the sand, Krist calling for help. The two looked at each other, Singto said.

" Still don't need to worry about them."

" Uhm." Godt replied, the two got back to their own games. Krist thought Singto couldn't see him, was about to run to him, Bass breathless voice held him back.

" Krist, don't leave me, don't leave me here dying all alone, I, I feel so cold, what to do, I don't wanna die, I'm too young to die, cough cough."

Bass tightened up his hold on Krist's wrist.

"Live well on my behalf."

Right after he finished his words, he let go of Krist's wrist, fell to the ground, head turned to the side, dead. Krist knelt beside him, recalled the way to do CPR that he saw on TV, he carelessly placed his hands on Bass's chest, used his whole body strength to push, violently pushed, Bass sufferingly screamed, If the situation continues, he will stop breathing entirely.

" Hold on, don't give up."

Krist continued pressing on Bass's chest. Bass's hands waving wildly, he was strugging hard wanted to stop Krist but Krist pushed his hands away, place his hands on Bass's chest again.

" Believe in me, I won't let you die."

" Ah - Krist- Krist, I'll die for real."

Krist stopped: "How do you feel now?"

Bass ran for his life, away from Krist. "You almost killed me."

" I just want to save you."

" Want to kill me."

Krist quickly realized, he bit his lips. " You played trick on me, didn't you?"

Bass shamelessly replied. " What do you think? I always want to be an actor but P' Godt didn't want to be my co-actor, my acting skills were getting bad, only you can act with me so well."

Krist tried to use his hands to hit the sand, looked up into the sky and screamed out loud.

"I'm a fool, I'm such a fool!!!"
