Tara Na!: A Love Story 1.5

 ”You always say that you hate her, but how come you always talking about her?” asks Serious. ”How come?” he added.

 ”Well.. I don’t know about that.” the Liar interrupts. “I say, I don’t love her.”

 ”But you are lying.” Serious said.

 ”How did you know?” Liar asks curiously.

 ”It’s come with the name.” Lover enters the conversation. “Nobody in this room do not love her.”

 ”Well, I hate her!” Hater disagree with a punch over his table.

 ”Dude!” Serious enters. “You fucking hate yourself, that’s why you hate everyone, but deep inside your fucking heart! You love that bitch!”

“She is very good in ignoring people.” Thinker said. “She always ignores us, but we can do nothing about it… We always do our best to make her feel our love, but she gives back nothing!”

“Then we will do this until we breathe our last air!” Lover declared.

“Fuck you! I already told the Listener that I’m just doing this for forty days! Then I’m out of this fucking mess!” Serious said.

“You can just leave it all behind!?” Lover asks.

“If necessary. I will forget this fuck.” Serious answers.

“How about all those memories?” Lover asks.

“What memories?” Serious said. “Is there any good memory I would cherish to remember?!”

“Nope! None!” Liar interrupts. “There is no memory that deserves to be remembered!”

“Will you shut the fuck up!?” Serious said to the Liar. “All those are fucking lies!”

“So you’re saying that there are memories that good enough to be remembered?” Thinker asks Serious.

“I’m done… I will not say a shit.” Serious sat down on his chair and put down his head.

“Well, I guess we are done for today…” I said.

“We are not done yet… We haven’t get a decision.” Thinker replies.

“We are done… If one person stops cooperating, we are finished.” I declared.

Everyone exclaims joyfully for a short day of misery, except Thinker and Lover that seems unsatisfied with the day’s argument.

“No one wants your cooperation! We need it!” Lover shouted after Hater.

“Fuck the cooperation! Fuck you! Fuck Her! Fuck everyone else!” Serious exclaims.

“I wish I was special.” Sufferer whispers.

“Be so fucking special! That people would worship your shit!” Serious shouted.

“Shut up!” I said. “If you think we need to argue more, then sit your asses and let’s fucking argue!”

  After that, everyone gets back on seats. Back to business.

“So, anyone has any suggestion?” I ask.

“Let’s not talk about her!” Liar shouted excitedly.

“Okay…” Thinker said.

“I just can’t stop loving her… How can I? Huh? How can I?” Sufferer asks.

“We will not stop!” Lover said.

“Just forty fucking days!” Serious interrupted, but no one listened to him.

“Yeah! Just fucking forty days! I will stop loving her!” Liar lies.

“Do you have any idea how short are those days?” Thinker said.

“But, if we rape and kill her.. that would be freaking short! Yeeah!” Hater said.

“Oh no.. We will not do that!” I said.

“Okay.. Can we just rape her?” Hater asks.

“Nope.” I said.

 Everyone pauses for a second or two. It seems they took a while to realized that I closed one of the options.

“So.. What do you want us to do?” Thinker asks.

 I did not answer him. I did not even looked at him. I don’t care about questions. I only do care for one thing.

“I don’t want to do anything to make her love us!” Liar cried happily.

“Well, I don’t want to get dumped or something.” Serious said.

“We will not be dumped! We will make her love us too!” Lover shouted. “We will do everything that is possible to make her see that we exist! We will—”

 Lover did not able to finishe his words. She just appeared there, in the middle of the hall.

 Everyone stops. Everyone stops breathing. Everyone stops talking. Everyone stops. except me.

 I walked slowly toward her. She stares blankly at me.

“How are you?” I ask.

“I’m fine.” She answered.

 She is the most beautiful woman I have ever see. She is the woman that every man in the world needs. She is a woman that I love. She is the woman that gave me this misery. She is the woman that told me that she loves me.

“What do you feel right now?” I asked confidently.

“I don’t know.” she answered in most boring tone ever.

“Are you bored?” I ask.

“I don’t know.” she answered in the same tone.

“Are you mad?” I ask nervously.

“I don’t know.” she answered.

“Do you know that you’re the only woman that made me feel this way?” I ask.

“I don’t know.” she answered.

“Do you know that you’re the only woman that I loved this way?” I ask.

“I don’t know.” she answered.

“I love you.” I said.

“Okay.” she replied.

“Do you know that I am very happy that I have the chance to love you?” I ask.

“I don’t know.” she said.

 Everyone else in the listened closely. No one made a tiny sound. They’re just there.

“Do you love me?” I ask.

 I felt everyone readied themselves for her answer.

“Maybe.” she answer.

 ”Ok. I’ll take your maybe.” I said. “I will not wait for a yes. I am happy enough to hear maybe.

She started laughing. A very happy laughter.
