Chapter 34 - The tormented Hopes

While my body remained staying with me, my soul has wandered far beyond the boundaries and spaces which is can't be reached by the consciousness.

Suddenly, I woke up from chaotic thoughts a moment after Mak Mah (Our beloved household assistant's name) knocked on my bedroom, reminded me for having dinner.

I followed her with limp steps without enthusiasm. I wasn't hungry even though I haven't touched any food since the morning.

I just watched Aunty, Uncle, and Ryan enjoying their foods which was served by Mak Mah. Actually, I didn't stare at them, but looked farther passing and through the wall of the house to a distant place.

I couldn't enjoy anything. I wasn't effected by many hearty foods which was served right in front of me.

Huff. What's wrong with me?

I've never been like this, never been this mess. Nothing made me being so sad. Nothing affected me that much. Right then, the whole feeling raged, scratched a deep wound in my heart.

I have tried, tried to forget, to exempt from a noose which is bonded with my heart. Although, I had tried so hard, I remained failing. And again, I remained to be hurt by the same hope, the same story, and the same person.

"Ara, Ara ...", Aunty Lusi's voice startled me.

"Is the food not meet your tastes ?", she asked me again.

"No, it's delicious," I replied while taking the first bite to cover up the mess that had attacked me.

They smiled and believed my cliché's answer. I can't let anyone see me in a mess. I have to settle this chaos. Perhaps, it took much time to recover from the most sorrowful love.

After dinner, Aunty and Uncle went straight to their bedroom. Ryan has also gone to his room. Meanwhile, I tried to be calm down in silence. My mind reminded chaotic and didn't neutral yet.

All this time, this feeling, this love, this disappointment, had been buried for so long. I couldn't hold them on anymore and suppress everything in my heart.
