Yeah and just like that, the day passed by.
~~~
Somehow Newmoon reached home late that evening, almost the sun has been set down pretty early and all that remained was the fragrance of the fragmented glitter of the scarlet sun pieces overflowing and shadowing the entire sky.
A magnificent eyes-catching view indeed.
Inside the corner of one house, Newmoon pulled out the door of the balcony. The fact that it has been long rust due to the current stuck position..didn't even name to move a bit.
"Huff!! Maybe it is broken?"
He stood up silently and organized his assumptions.
Jina noona had indeed cautioned him to stay away from the unnecessary triggering point about the house but maybe not even to a point where it's stuck or Jammed on its own.
Several threads of reddish spots appeared on his hands and yet none resulted.
He glanced down at his hands and commented,
"Should I just leave it like that now then?"
His gaze suddenly shifted outside in a pitiful way of how stray dogs would look at the shelter home on a rainy day.
"…"
For some unknown reason, Newmoon surely wanted to open the huge windows and took an air outside viewing the whole street at night.
He clenched his fists instantly for god knows why and from where such courage hit him but he grabbed the knob and circled..hardly to a point where a 'Kchlang.'
"???"
Surprisingly it opened? For a split second he thoughts it got broken instead.
"So, it only required more effort huh?"
He whispered to himself.
"What the hell is going on? wait does it mean my stamina is running out? Or what? I mean yeah, I am not paying attention to my health for a while but I'm amazed at how the demerits are showing this fast results?"
"Only If positive things would act this place?"
Having several thoughts running inside his mind multiplying like a division of bacteria or viruses in his head, no one in the whole dimensions would get how he was functioning in the first place.
He stepped forwards towards the balcony and felt the warm chill breeze beneath his bare skin. The curtain flutter in the mid-air swirling up like dancing crazily.
He looked around and rays of surprise could be seen in his wide eyes.
"So the balcony was not only on my room but on the other's rooms as well hmm?"
If anybody would hear such sentences then they might be rolling down on the floor.
And why wouldn't they?
Newmoon talked like that leaving no room to be silent. He had been living there for a few months and yet had no idea how the design was structured there. If he had never taken his first step on the balcony then god knows if he'll ever even notice such trivial to big things.
"HAHA"
Yeah!! All he could do was the hilarious and pathetic smile.
"Sometimes life puts me on a path that I questioned myself out of déjà vu; What the hell was I doing the entire life till now?"
"Haha!"
At first glance, it seems like soft shiny glittery eyelids supported by the lifted cheeks but if one could dive more into his eyes then knew it wasn't the shiny that was out shadowing through his eyes but instead the heaviness that no longer could hide or hold.
He leaned his arms forward on the ice iron rod bar and looked at the opposite building unconsciously.
The distance between his eyebrows got narrower,
"?"
"If I'm not wrong..weren't there the people moving on the upper floor?"
Thanks to his observations the other day, somehow he was able to guess it properly.
Surprised? And the soley reasons for that?
Among all the neighboring areas and the whole building in the streets, excluding that particular upper floor, all of them were lighted up like a bright moon.
Just a simple reminder to acknowledge him that at least he was a human, has a brain after all.
*Ding Ding*
His phone messages burst up in a loud tone.
"?"
"Sorry I couldn't get you earlier."
"Really? Is he? If he is then why isn't he responding to me, giving me a chance to fix it together? As you mentioned earlier misunderstanding is the main key in our case. It has been always the same. I don't know why or how but it feels like something is between us like an invincible wall. No matter how much I try to reach out to him, deep core..always something feels off."
"It feels like he couldn't express his opinions with me well, crashing down feelings of each other and eventually leading both in pain. Honestly, nowadays I feel like we are better off alone!"
And as expected sad emoji to complete the emotional sentences.
Seeing the messages he silently stared at them for a few sec.
A long pause later he spoke in a bluffed tone,
"Woah! Mr. foodie is this how you said a way to win over your heart and bring her back. Only a way it could work-
Coming to the second stanza, a line he almost wrinkled his mouth and copied Mr. foodie's line in a mimicking style and a little bit of disgusting too.
"HMPH-
In a sec, his expressions turned the whole upside down, "If I hadn't stepped in then it looked like your chapter would end right away. And then you were there having wishful thinking!"
He typed back, "You both are indeed childish."
"How?"
She replied instantly maybe it hit the sore point.
"It would be more stressful if you two wouldn't know what's the main root of your problems but now still you are avoiding despite knowing the cause- Isn't it funnier and foolish?"
This time the reply got a little late as if she was trying to get things all together.
*DING*
"So, Is there any possible way to make it work? Cause for me I have done everything within my hands. And the result is still… Sigh, I don't know why am I saying you all this the fact I don't even know you in the first place!"
Newmoon responded, "Never mind you don't have to know much more than this. It's already enough! Just focus on your decision now."
"Already done much with your power huh? And the results?"
"Hmph. I seriously doubt that.! If you honestly had tried hard then the results would be different. Perhaps you two would be together? Or either way?"
He sends with a shocked expression on his face.
"Seriously? I have a bad feeling about this girl-!"
*DING*
"That's why I am asking you if there is any way?"
Newmoon wrote it down,
"To be honest, I know it might sound rebellious, funny, or sugarcoating but.. he is damn serious about you and this relationship..he always talks about the future. Blah- Blah-Blah…
As he started to type it down on the dim screen, his nose squirted down a bit, eyes uninterested too.., A background voice soon became clearer and sound much more precisely.
"Mr.foodie, are you trying to kill me out of cringe? It's super childish. We aren't children anymore you know, it's super lame and cheap too, I know it would be the ultimate one as per your opinion.. to fix the things out there but not anymore. You gotta listen to me for this-
"-Yaa, I know I know what am I saying. I am not crazy. Just believe me and add some spicy to the food. Please.!"
During that particular moment, Newmoon secretly questioned his whole existence on the planet earth.
It was a time when he couldn't even die anymore.
*DING*
"I have hurt him so much! I get it now. I'll make it work. I'll apologize to him and will approach him too!"
"But will you please lend me a little bit of your hand regarding this? Pass the message about me, tell him how I am suffering hard too and how desperately want to talk to him. Suggest him to unblock me and give me one last chance to explain."
Newmoon, "Very good. Now that's the thing about being mature. Whether you two patch up or not but communicate to the heart context. Tell directly what is in your head and heart. Mr. foodie is the-
He paused a bit before continuing the sentences, a light warm vibrant coming across his eyes,
"- the most loyal person I have ever come up to interact with!"
"Do well and work hard. To make any relationship last long both need to put their equal effort on. It isn't easy but not impossible too!! All the best! oh and I'll!"
*DING*
"Then I have to trouble you!"
"Last but not least could you tell me what's your name?"
"??"
And even in the blink of an ending, she asked such questions.
"what's up with the curiosity with my name all of sudden?"
Newmoon wrinkled his eyebrows.
"Our conversation ends here. And it might sound rude but I don't think there is any necessary reason to lengthen it.!!"
"Hope your relationships would flourish! Take care! Oh and don't ever share about this conversation with Mr.foodie. he would kill me right on the spot If he came to know it!"
Immediately he humped up.
"Haven't even met, talked for a day, and already asked for a name? Seriously?"
He smirked at himself.
*DING*
"No, Tell me at least! I want to know your name!"
"…"
"Is it normal to act like this huh? Or am I the only one who is paranoid here?"
He talked to himself and avoided the phone messages by turning them off.
"Once again at the end of the day, it's only me and myself."
The soft words escaped slightly through his mouth.
He gazed upwards. Time had passed out already.
Surely under the warmth shadow of the rays of moonlight, it seemed as if the whole universe was protected by divine love. Down over the land, it was covered by its artificial light and when looking up, there was its light sprinkled all over the sky.
However compared to light, nothing beats the natural source of light.
It surely was such a pleasure to be a part of the divine law.
"It's relaxing here! I should've noticed this place much earlier. Back then sightseeing would be our best place to wonder-
As if the old memories bubbled up in an instant, he leaned his head against the cold bar rod, slightly relaxing his shoulder and muscles to put the force bending down his back.
The chilled temperature made his mind calm down. Usually, his overthinking wouldn't be this serious. But for some reason, these days it's been too critical to a point where he thinks once in every while.
He slightly closed his eyes being dived into such a subconscious world.
"hey hey, **** look here, see what mesmerizing the sky looks at night?"
"WOAH! It's breathtaking!"
"Take picture of it then!"
"It doesn't come good in my old Knokia phone! But I would take a shot from my dad's phone when I reached home. He has bought a brand new phone where not only we could take a photo from the back but also the front! till then I wish it would last longer.!
"WOAH, are you kidding me? It's the latest one. I have only seen it in the newspaper and on advertisement posters. And your dad already what-?"
"Don't you know his father is the principal of a government school, Of course, he would earn a ton of money. It would sound off or strange if he wouldn't buy it living in such quality of life."
"HAHAHA. we know right?"
"Yaa, are you two mocking me, or complimenting me?"
"HAHA of course we are complimenting you, man. HAHA! There is no doubt on it."
Somehow the spectrum of laughter echoed into the Newmoon's ear making him impossible to calm his mind.
Afterward, Newmoon decided to walk back.
~~~
Next morning:
This time instead of alarm Newmoon seemed to wake up from the continuous ringtone.
*RING* RING* RING*
"yes hello?"
Newmoon answered in a lazy tone still in the sleepy position.
"Oii, Are you dead or what?
The person on the phone shouted.
Instantly as if the sharp yell woke him from the dreamy world, his eyes sprang wide open!
"Yaa, why are you calling an alive person dead early in the morning huh?"
"Then what am I supposed to tell if you act like one? Do you know for how long have I been calling you?"
The unknown bitter-tone person was non-other than Mr.foodie himself.
"I was sleeping man, that's why I didn't hear it. And One thing, never call alive one dead! Do you get it? sometimes it is believed that God lives in the tongue of people so, It might turn out to be true. So you better watch out for your tongue! Or unless you want me to go or see me losing myself."
"Woah Woah, relax man relax.. take it easy you have been watching out for too many fantasies and myths!"
"It's what people say, kind of omen thing?"
Newmoon argued with the facts.
"Okay, then what if I say and roam around blurting out, I want to be a millionaire and a billionaire all the time? would it happen? Will god sitting in my tongue would fulfill it for me?"
He even spelled and spoke several times before he continued,
"See? It didn't happen? It doesn't work like that my rappe- ahem- my dear!"
"Use your logic only bad things happens fast! For the other circumstances, it takes time I guess? Hmph! leave it here! I don't want us to fight for such a foolish topic!"
"Anyway can you tell what you did or said to her?"
"?"
"I mean I want to know how you approached and other stuff you know?"
His voice was somewhat lower than usual and much sweeter too! So the only reason for such a case is,
"So you two patch up right?"
Newmoon upfront him slamming with the truth right away.
The random questions almost choke Mr. foodie instantly.
"AHEM AHEM! More or less!"
He hesitantly confessed it.
However, Newmoon's reaction was the opposite. Instead of being happy and relieved he was stunned to the point he jumped out of the bed.
"What?"
"Wait, what do you mean by what?"
Mr. foodie asked with a vibe of doubt.
"She begged for a chance and apologies and you-? It hasn't even been half a day and you two what?"
"I don't see any problem here? And I don't get your point too! Wasn't that the main point of firstly starting our plan?"
Newmoon slapped his forehead with his hand,
"My my oh my my, You should have at least tried to play it, hard man!! acted like you want some time to think thoroughly and shows a little bit of arrogance too!! But no, you threw yourself on her so rapidly as if you have been dying to meet with her or if you're the one begging for it!! To be honest, It also shows a bit suspicious about the plan between us!"
"Man..!"
"my dear rappe- Ahem I mean my dear friend listen first Nah-!"
"Yesterday midnight she came to me and asked for forgiveness! She wept hard and apologies on my shoulders and gave me her every social media password. I have never seen her cry that desperately you know and of course, seeing her like that how can I stay still and respond coldly. In the end, she gave her word it'll not happen again in the future!"
"- wait what wouldn't happen in the future? You can't be so sure about it you know cause After all communica-
Newmoon halted mid-way as if he realized something.
Just when he was about to open his mouth for further questions Mr. foodie answered on his behalf of him.
"-um..m the thing is-
Somehow for some reason, the pace of Mr.foodie slowed down all of sudden.
He hesitated,
"-"
"-Don't tell me it's cheating-related matters?"
Mr. foodie gasped, "Bingo! How do you find out?"
Newmoon soul left his body.
Only the thoughts were present, "Do I look that dumb huh?"
"I mean I agree I am though but still-
Once again, he wiped his face with a sigh. He truly didn't know what to do with his friend Mr. Foodie!
So it turns out that the key point is how this girl mentioned the communication part to explain herself and then apologize. Newmoon should have stayed focused on that part. No wonder she bought that up and asked for his help and for no reason Mr.foodie would remain silent for such a small misunderstanding for days to almost a week. And just a few moments ago, there comes a word about giving a password of social media to Mr. foodie too. Somehow the picture started to fit into a puzzle.
For now, nobody knew who was at the fault. But he can sense it wouldn't last long. Cause Mr. foodie was best known for his emotional and sensitive nature and heart. And in this world having a kindhearted means;
"A curse!"
"?"
"yaa, I confessed it's my fault. But look at your path you're crossing a line. Cursing right over my face!"
Oops! He said it loud!
'Sorry sorry didn't mean it though I wish I meant it!"
"?"
"Anyway, what's done is done! There is no meaning in crying over the spilled milk!"
From the short experiences, he had encountered and knowing the psychological facts about people in love he knew deeply that Mr.foodie wasn't gonna listened or bought no matter what he says at that moment. Their ears gonna closed off when encountering love.
"Congratulations on your restart but look out and keep your both ears open! it's better to be safe than sorry later!"
Mr. foodie smiled.
"Rest assured I get it! I know my dear rappe- my dear friend loves me to the moon and back. oh, sh*t! I almost forget-
"Yaa—
He yelled.
"what about the conversation between you two? I asked you earlier but you avoided it!"
Newmoon scrunched his nose.
"Nah not gonna tell. You don't have to tell..just send the screenshot of it! I'll read it by myself!"
