Chapter 18

For some reason I can't explain I just found myself walking in a sea of ​​beautiful and fragrant flowers. I smiled and stopped for a moment to pick one and smelled it.

"What kind of place is this? The flowers are beautiful" and smelled what I picked again until I heard a familiar voice.

"Just take whatever and how much there is because it's really for you" I smiled and turned around and thanked him when I noticed that he was looking at me seriously. I'm confused, why can he look like that?

"Ren--"

"Even if I give you a few more flowers, just let me use you as a band-aid here in my heart" I felt a pain in my heart and I immediately threw a stone where the flower I just picked was. I couldn't even stop my tears from falling.

I saw him walking towards me so I started walking away from him and when I got time I ran away from him.

"Don't me, it's different" I shouted but he didn't seem to pay attention to that and he just kept chasing me.

"You fit the bill. So weather you like not you are now my band-aid girlfriend"

"NO! I don't to be you're band-aid girlfriend" I woke up from a nightmare. I didn't expect that even in my dream that memory would come back to me.

I just sat there waiting and catching my breath when I heard my keypad phone ring. It has too many scratches and if you look at it it looks like it won't work anymore because there is a lot of tape on the front and back of it but it's okay at least I have something to use.

I took it and looked to see who was calling. It's Akia.

(Moshi Moshi) Akia kindly promised on the other line.

"Akia.." I said her name. I don't know but I feel like I have to share this incident with him. I have to share about the band-aid, it's a band-aid.

I took a breath and was about to prepare myself when I heard Akia speak on the other line.

"Des, don't come in now" he kindly said causing my forehead to frown. Why is that?

"Why?" frowned when I asked while standing up and fixing the pillow and blanket I used.

"The I. T. students have I. T. week so we don't have school" for sure he was smiling but I didn't know if I should smile or what.

I feel like, now that I'm off school, I can only think about what happened yesterday. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head. I should not think!

"Des? Are you still there?" I can not talk. It's like I'm still in shock that we don't have school and worst, three days.

"Looks like he's hung up" and then Akia hangs up. After I put my cell phone in my pocket, I just dropped my body on the pallet behind me.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed. Annoying! I forgot that this is not my bed.

I spent most of my day cleaning our house. I was sweating while cleaning but that's okay, as long as I forget what happened yesterday.

"Mare!" I heard the shopper say to Mama. I just didn't pay attention to that and I continued cleaning and I'm currently cleaning the ceiling.

"Oh, Mare, what are you going to buy?" Mom promised.

"Do you have a band-aid store? I cut my hand with a knife --" I didn't hear much of what the buyer said because my brain was stuck with the band-aid he said.

Annoying! Am I meant to do that?

I shook my head and just continued what I was doing and it looks like the buyer has also left. I was able to breathe well. Maybe the whole incident is just a coincidence.

After I removed the hood, I arranged the placement of the items in their respective containers.

"Can I buy!" I heard the boy say.

"What's that?"

"Do you sell band-aid?" I immediately put back the one I was fixing and immediately covered both my ears. Am I being paranoid or am I hearing what they bought?

"Yes, how many are you?"

"Please buy two." I couldn't stop myself and immediately went to my room and changed my clothes. Looks like I'll just have to go along with Papa's ride. Maybe I won't hear a band-aid there.

After I changed my clothes, I texted Dad where he was. After 2 minutes he replied to me which made me smile.

From: Dad

Son, I'm here at the terminal.

After reading the text message, I was about to hide my cellphone when I received a text. It's from Akia.

From: Akia

Des, do you know anyone Ren? He was looking for you earlier when I was about to go to school. I gave him your number :)

Shall I dress myself or Akia? Annoying! What is happening to me? Annoying! Am I this bad now? That fate could force me to accept what Ren offered me. Gosh! I don't know him that well. And I hate myself because even though he wants me to be his band-aid girlfriend, I still have a crush on him. How stupid of me!

I just let out a sigh and said to myself. I'll forget everything first, I'll accompany Papa on his vacation.

After I left my room, I said goodbye to Mama that I was going with Papa. I went out the door and texted Papa that I was on my way.

I can see that she's doing pretty well. It looks like he has everything in hand. Except one thing. Falling in love.

I looked at the calendar in my hand. There are only a few days left and it seems that everything will take a year.

And because I know that one day her curiosity will grow and I'm here to give her the answers.

Even those answers will break her heart.
