Why does this guy always asks me to accompany him whenever he want as he please. I have to endure this, three more months and I'll be free from this shackle. This time he invited me to go to the shopping center. Strangely, this shopping center doesn't even have any visitors. Yeah feel fun teasing me like this Zayn.
"Why is this mall so empty?" I asked.
"This is a premium mall, even the third-rate clothes here cost hundreds of dollar."
Then why are you bring me to a place like this? Hundreds of dollar? I feel like even thrift stores don't charge this much.
"I will meet someone, if she asks any question, you don't need to answer her, okay?"
I looked at him strangely. Who is he meeting with? I just nodded to his request.
Several minutes later, both of us were surprised when a soft voice greeted Zayn.
"Hi Zayn, have you been waiting for me long?" A girl approached Zayn.
"No, Alisya. I just arrived," Zayn replied.
Oh, that girl's name is Alisya.
"Oh, who is he? Your friend?" she continued.
"Yeah, he's my friend."
Are you messing up with me just because I had free time this week, why bother bring me here anyway. I just don't get this guy.
"Hi, I'm Zayn's girlfriend, Alisya. What's your name?" Alisya asked.
"Just call me Adam," I replied briefly.
After that, she didn't talk much, just sticking close to Zayn. She kept choosing handbags, going back and forth between this one and that one. Can I scream and call you a big idiot you are, Alisya?
After choosing her handbag, which took two hours before we went to eat at a fine dining restaurant in the shopping center.
Alisya ordered wagyu steak, medium rare, served with mixed salad, while Zayn ordered the Smoky Steak, served with julienne cut french fries. I wasn't very familiar with luxurious food, so I ordered the same as Zayn.
We enjoyed our meal after our food arrived. No words came out of my mouth. Only Alisya was talking closely and intimately with Zayn. But why does my heart ache this much?
There is no single word coming out from mouth. I don't feel like myself today. This is all Zayn's fault. Yeah I should've blame him.
Sigh. I sighed heavily.
"I want to sleep soundly tonight."
***
A week has passed since the incident where Zayn took his female friend shopping.
I don't know why my feelings and soul feel this way. I should call my old friend in case she's not busy tonight.
Tutt, tutt...
I called my old acquaintance from secondary school. She never drinks alcohol. We have always been close. Why? Because we both have an interest in guys.
"Hello?" The recipient of the call answered.
"Hello, Ash..." I replied.
"Why are you calling me?" Ash asked.
"Are you free? I want to invite you for a drink, I have some allowance just for drinks," I explained.
"Yeah, sure. Where's the location?" She asked.
I informed her of the location of the bistro via the phone. The journey to the bistro only took 10 minutes.
Arriving at Bistro XY...
I glanced around to see if Ash had arrived. After a few minutes, I saw her figure approaching me.
"Hey, long time no see. How are you? How's your university?" I asked as soon as Ash arrived.
"I'm okay. University is fine. Why did you suddenly invite me for a drink?" He asked.
"I'll tell you inside," I replied.
Ash simply agreed, we both looked towards the bistro and chose the seat I had reserved earlier. After a few minutes, the waiter brought slices of meat and a glass of beer to the table.
We started grilling the slices of meat on the fire while sipping our beer.
"There's this guy, he found out that I have a crush on his friend." I started the conversation.
Ash was surprised, "How did he find out?"
"He read my diary. It seems he's annoyed because all his friends' names are in that diary, except his," I explained.
"Why must something bad happen and it always about your damn diary. Did he threaten you?" Ash asked.
"No, he just messing up with me," I sighed.
Ash nodded, indicating that she understood my situation. Perhaps for him, I needed someone to confide in. We talk over the beer like there is no tomorrow to worry with. If only life was this joy.
My head felt a bit heavy. On second thought, I never opened the messages sent by Zayn.
[120 messages received]
Damn. He must be this desperate toying with me.
I ignored Zayn's messages. I try to walk but the road won't get along with me. I sat on the bus station. Before I truly realize it. Ah, I'm wasted. My vision fade before I eventually close tight my eyes.

"Adam? Why are you sleeping alone here?"
Someone seemed to be talking to me. I recognized this voice but my head was too dizzy to realize. Nah... Who's care. My life has been seem mess since Zayn enter my life.
