“You're just lying, aren't you? I didn't really buy those paintings, besides, who would be crazy to buy that kind of garbage?” I said to Baste as I stood up and pulled him by his collar, which surprised him.“But I'm genuinely telling you the truth, Boss. You bought those paintings even if you kill me now.” He said, and I immediately let him go then pushed him away from me. I looked around at each of the paintings displayed on the wall and clenched my fists when I saw how much it hurt my eyes.“Get all that out of my house.” I said that he immediately came to me.“But, boss, are you sure we're really going to throw all that away?” after he said that I turned to him and widened my eyes at him, so he immediately bowed and looked away from me.“And why would I throw away more than ten million worth of paintings? Am I that crazy for you, Baste?” I said that I almost raised my voice to him because I was disgusted with myself and I couldn't believe that I fooled the ordinary paintings. It h
“By the way, thank you, Carlo, and I'm sorry if I disturbed your time.” I said to him when I got off his motorcycle and handed him his helmet. He smiled and refused to take his helmet from me, so I looked up at him with a look of wonder on my face. “Can you keep that for me?” when he said that, my two eyebrows rose, and I didn't respond to him immediately because I didn't know his reason why he wanted me to keep this helmet because it looks like he bought it for the girl he likes. I don't know, and I'm confused as to what he really thinks of me. Am I really just a friend for him or is he just using me as his rebound that he will just look up to and smile at, but eventually he has another woman in his heart? Because of that, I handed him his helmet again, which surprised him, but he again refused to take it from me. “You don't seem to understand what I mean, Jaime.” He said with a smile on his lips, so I looked up at him again and just stared into his eyes. “You know, I might just b
I was nervous as I walked closer to him, but I noticed that there was something different about her. I looked at her from head to toe, and it was as if I felt something strange in the way she stares at me. Furthermore, I stopped in front of her and my eyes widened in shock when I noticed that she had cut her hair down to her neck, but it still suited her, she was still beautiful, and she got even more beautiful. But why am I nervous and as if I feel a heavy aura from her eyes on me? There is something different about her. Her eyes say something else, and it's like I just want to back off. It's like I would rather not hear what she has to say to me, even though I'm not sure what her reason is for making me come here now. But whatever it is, I don't want to know, I don't want to listen.“What were you thinking, and you cut your hair?” I said, which surprised her while touching her short hair.“Nothing. I just want something to change about me.” Her response was as she bowed.“It suits y
Jaime and I went to the department store. She helped me find nice clothes for me. She shook her head when she noticed that almost all the clothes I bought were black.“Is black your favorite color?” She asked while I turn to her.“No. Blue is my favorite color, why did you ask?” I said to her, and then she pointed to the clothes I bought.“I don't think I saw any other colors in the clothes you bought earlier.” After she said that, I looked at the paper bags in my hand where I realized that she was right that all the clothes I bought were black and besides that, they will have the same design.“You're right, maybe it would be better if I just put everything back, wouldn't it? I didn't think you were that smart, Jaime.” I complimented her at the same time I turned my back on her and was about to go back inside the store when she immediately stopped me and grabbed my right arm. Furthermore, I immediately stopped and turned to her with a look of astonishment on my face.“Why?” I was curi
“What happened? Are you okay, and who is that woman? And why did she slap you so hard? Maybe you made something big mistake to her before, or perhaps she is your ex-girlfriend?” Jaime asked me, but I couldn't answer her because my mind was wandering where I was still thinking about that mysterious woman.Why did I tell her about that? I whispered from my mind and I feel sorry for what I said to her, so I deserve her slap because anyone would be angry with what I said even if maybe Jaime would be angry with me, and possibly I will receive more than a slap from her. I can't get rid of that woman in my mind because I want to apologize to her and I had no bad intentions in what I said to her, I was just carried away by my emotions. Furthermore, I looked around me hoping to see her there, but I didn't see her, even her shadow there. I looked down for a moment at the paper bag I was holding now, where the dress was placed. I don't know if I should give it to Jaime because I don't have good
“Are you really not going to change your mind?” after she said that, I looked up at her again, and suddenly, she laughed loudly. “Why? Don't tell me you're still mad at me because I slapped you earlier? I'm sorry, sorry, I'm truly sorry.” She added and repeatedly apologized to me even though I should be the one apologizing to her, but I couldn't because I'm not the type of person who can easily say sorry. But I noticed from her that it was as if it were effortless to say those words to her, besides that she seemed to quickly forget just like the mistake I made with her inside the mall.“It's no wonder why you like that dress. Even I was stunned and amazed when I first saw it. I fell in love with the beauty, even though I don't wear that kind of dress.” I jokingly said to her, and she smiled at the same time.“Don't say that you intend to wear that? You'd better just sell it to me, and I promise I'll keep it for the rest of my life.” She said, and she suddenly looked down where the smi
“You're awake.” The first thing she said to me. My eyes widened in shock when I realized that woman was not Jaime.“You? W-what are you doing here?” I stammered to her, and then she put the plate on the table.“It looks like I disappointed your expectation. Are you disappointed because I'm not the girl you were waiting for?” she said, and then she sat on the chair while I remained silent, just looking at her. “I'm sorry if I use your food in your refrigerator. I'm hungry and besides, we're friends, aren't we?” she added, which surprised me as I raised an eyebrow and winced.“Yes, you really disappoint me, and you always make surprises that I don't expect.” I said, and then I sat in the empty seat and she smiled. I turned my gaze to the food that was lying on the table which was really attractive, and it was as if its fragrant smell were kissing my nose. She laughed when she noticed the expression on my face, so I looked up at her with a trace of astonishment on my face.“Why are you l
After a while, I felt calmer, but I didn't tell the doctor the reason why I suddenly had a breakdown in front of him. He didn't ask me anything else, he just nodded his head and then handed me a glass of water.“I don't think it's good for your friend's condition when you're both down. So, you did the right thing and released everything that's heavy on your chest that your friend doesn't know because when she sees you like that she'll definitely be sad too. It's better if you just hide from her all your feelings or whatever sadness you feel. I have encountered many patients like her, and many have cried in front of me. I understand them, you and all of you because it's not easy for you but as much as possible don't show your weaknesses in front of the patient because you are of the ones they draw strength from. So, you should always be happy when talking to her so that she feels the same and don't get down or think about anything that could cause her depression or be aware of her illn
