32 I’ll Save It For Later, (2/2)
”Hey..how many years you wanna takes for you to hang the star?” ask Lola making she jolt a bit.
”Sorry, I was in a daze.” she said as she put the star on top the tree and step down from the stairs.
After that, she hang the bells around the tree. Just when she move to the other side, her hands touch with Alan's.
She quickly retracted and want to move to other direction. Before she go, Alan hold her hand and say to her.
”Lets talk.” he then dragging her to the upstairs.
Alan walk into the balcony and close the door. The space is limited and there is no way she can escape from him.
”What is this about Alan?” she ask as she lean on the wooden railing behind her.
”Why are you avoiding me?” he search her eyes.
”What? No, I am not avoiding you.” she drift her eyes away, not looking into him.
”Yes, you are.”
Hazel silent.
”Hazel listen, for the whole year I've been staying here with you and with the rest. I am slowly falling for you. I like you, thus, let me help to cure your scar Hazel. Let me heal it.” he hold her shoulder using both of his hand.
”I don't know what are you talking about. I don't have any scar and you don't need to heal me.” she still resist.
”Uh-huh? Crying in the middle of night for almost everyday is not what you call a scar? Your wound is too deep, Hazel. No one knows how miserable you like every night when you crying on my bed..”
Hazel eyes turns wider, she turn her eyes to him with a shocked expression.
”You..you..know it?” she stammered a little.
”I've known it since the first day I move in to his room.”
”But..but..I wake up in my room every morning since you moving in, there is no way I had my sleepwalking again.”
”That's because I carry you back into your room every night. Every night Hazel. I hear your crying and whimpering for every night. Can you tell me how long has it been since i get a full night sleep?”
”Err..but, why you need to heal my scar? Is it because you feel sympathy toward me?” she stop before she continue again.
”Believe me, I don't need your sympathy. I don't need any men's love for me. I'll be fine with my own.” she shove his hand from her shoulder.
Alan cupped her face and look into her eyes.
”Yeah, you don't need any men's love, except me. I will make you fall for me. You don't want me to heal your scar, but the more you resist me, the more closer I will come to you. Hazel, by the time I got my memory back, I will make you mine. I swear.”
”Don't be so full of yourself, Alan. What if you have the one you love back then?”
”Hmph..will know later.” he smirk.
”You…” she wrap her body with her hand around his chest. Seeing she protect herself make Alan giggles.
”Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I love you, how can I do something bad to the person I love.” he lift up her chin and make her facing him. ” I'll save it for later, of course.”
Open the balcony door, he walk back inside the house leaving her behind.
After a minute he left, her tear rolls down from her eyes.
'Why you said something so similar to him? Your behaviour, your scent, your warmth, your eyes toward me, Why? Why? Why must he resemble you so much?? how long are 'you' plan to ruin my life?'
