Come and Go

After the night's dark events, many questions haunted my thoughts. I thought that he didn't really like me as he often expressed it in every piece of paper he had sent me all this time. But that thought was only for a moment replaced by how impressed I was with Gabriel who had been willing to travel miles and crossing continents just to see me.

A sunny morning I woke up with a new hope. Didn't realize it was already 9:30. For a girl who could be said to be a morning person like me getting up at this hour it was too late. "Good morning Miss, there is someone in front. Looks like an acquaintance of Miss" Said Nanny Maria a middle-aged woman who has been caring for me since I was a toddler. No need to wait long I immediately rushed to the living room and who would have thought the guest in the morning turned out to be Gabriel. "Ooo ... mm ... Hey, good morning" with a face that smiled straightly he greeted me. "Eeehm .. yes good morning" with a doubtful face I answered his greeting. "Sorry, last night I did not come note the cafe address suddenly disappeared hehe". His statement automatically made me rest and answered all my doubts. "Yeah, it's okay". my response was short with a satisfied smile on my face. "Are you busy today? If I have time I want to walk the road and want to clear my guilt about last night," he continued, staring at me. "Hmm, ok, but I'll wait to change clothes first," I replied excitedly. Of course I am very happy because the incident last night all paid off. It did not take long for me to immediately prepare myself and return to him. "Okay let's go" I asked excitedly to him then we immediately left the house. We decided to go to a place to eat on the edge of town. I agreed with him to choose a place that was not too crowded so we could chat with each other peacefully. Only 30 minutes later we arrived at our destination. He immediately ordered food for us both a big burger and a salad with tuna fish was very enough for us. While waiting for the food order I busied my eyes with a reddish face. "Hey ... hmmm, I want to say something. Can I?" short words respond to my behavior that is too concerned. "Yes, you can," I said calmly to him.

"So far I've actually been engaged, actually ...". Before he could finish his words I firmly snapped at him "What? What do you mean?" with a face that suddenly turns bad. Instantly I felt my world stopped being the person I really hoped for, who had made me comfortable for the past three months and had a companion. Moreover, he came all the way just to see me. "I know you're angry, actually I didn't come to Chicago to see you, my work experience here so I came to visit here". It connects by clarifying the initial words. It's my fault I'm too trusting with someone I just met, but is he? he really convinced me that he also liked me. He came from across the country just to see me. With eyes that had turned red from tears I wanted to leave the place immediately and didn't want to see him again. I can't even say a word. Not caring about my favorite food that has not been served, I immediately left the place. It turns out that this was the answer to his absence that night. But today was darker than that dark night. I don't want to know him at all. Although he was the first to make me feel what love is I really don't want to see him again. I think I'm done with him now.
