Tara Na!: A Lovestory 2.0

“I wish that I could turn back the time.” Cold said.

“Why so?” asks Serious.

“So I did not had the chance to know her, talk to her, get close to her, love her. I wish it is all a dream. I wish it is not true. I wish she does not even exist.” Cold said mournfully.

“But… yeahhh.. We are fucking trapped.” answers Serious.

“We did all that we could do. We said all that we can say.” Cold added.

“But still.. We still suffer?” Serious asks.

Sufferer cried a very deep and vey sad groan. A drop of tear starts rolling down his cheeks. Everyone in the room gives their attention to the drop of tear. It was the first tear that Sufferer shed.

“Oh fucking hell! What she has done to us!!!?” shouted Hater. “We are all fucked up!”

“Shut up!” Lover said. “We all know that this is a challenge; a test!”

“Oh no! No! no! no!” Hater screams “It has never happened before! It has never happened to us before! We all know that we changed! We fucking changed! Ever since that bitch entered our heads, we slowly become weak and powerless!”

“How can you say so?” asks Thinker. “It has not happened before?! Are you kidding me!?”

“Fuck you Thinker!” Serious said. “In these situations, you are irrelevant! You have no fucking use here!”

“Everyone has a role. Everyone is responsible. Everyone is to blame.” said Cold.

“Fuck NO!” shouted Hater. “Lover is to blame! He is the one who is fucking devoted. If I were us, I already slayed that bitch!”

“I don’t really know how.” Serious said.

“How? How what?” asks Lover.

“How to stop this madness.” Serious answer.

“We can’t.” Lover declared.

“Oh Yes.. Yes we can.” Cold said. “Everything has an end. Everything that started has to end. Everything that risen should fall down. Everything that has been done, can not be undone but can be forgotten.”

“So… You’re saying.. We can just forget all this?” Serious asks.

Everyone is puzzled. Everyone waited for Cold’s answer.

“Yes.. But the question is How?” Cold said.

“No! We will not forget our love for her! No! We will love her even she does not love us! NO! We will continue! No! We will not stop! No! We will love her forever!” Lover hysterically shouted at everyone.

“How about the forty days?” asks Cold.

“Forget the forty days!” Lover finally said.

“What the fuck!?” Serious agitates. “I’m done after forty days!”

“Me too! The hell with that bitch!” Hater agrees.

Thinker stands up. Everyone except Sufferer, who is still head is down.

“We are been all part of this. We are all responsible of our choices. We are all affected. We all felt her love, her anger, her loneliness. We were all happy. We were all sad. We were all hurt. We are all to blame. We all affected her choices. We all are weak and powerless. We all are attached. We all are dead. We all are in love. We all are angry. We all are suffering. We all are hating. We all are thinking what we had done. We all are wishing it had never happened. We all are wishing it would happen again. We all are wishing it won’t end. We all are wishing it ends right now. We all are dying to see her. We all are dying to say I LOVE YOU. We all are dying to hug and kiss her. We all are weak and powerless. We are all desperate. We are all have nothing. We are all. WE ARE ALL!”

Thinker sits down. Everyone remain silent, can not believe. They can not believe that what they had just heard are all true and correct. Serious bit his lip with anger and guilt. Hater covered his face with his palms. Cold simply put down his head on his table. Thinker looks blanky at the empty space and a small drop of tear slowly rolled down his right cheek. I did not say anything. I don’t want to say anything. I can’t say anything. It is true. It is all true.

Sufferer was  the first one who stood up and walk for the exit. Serious followed. Hater walked after several seconds. Thinker stood up and sprinted for the door. Then everyone stood up. Did not make a sound, and walk for the narrow exit. I was again, left alone.

I patiently wait. Waited. I don’t expect her to appear, but I am waiting. Waiting.
