SCENE 22
'You're selfish.'
Finally, Cheryl was able to pour what she felt. Unrest for 19 years, she breathed air, could say without fear, even though she had to get a sadistic slap from Delisha. Everything was worth it for Cheryl. Her mom is too much. She never cares for her, and when she watches a little, it doesn't necessarily make her control Cheryl's whole life.
Cheryl cried a little, but she felt that she had had enough tears so far. Delisha had never wholly accepted herself. Cheryl sometimes realized that she was just an adopted child who would never be considered forever.
Cheryl was in the mirror, feeling her hot cheeks. Cheryl needs someone's protective figure who is ready to hear her complaints. Someone who is always there when he needs it. Someone who can lend her chest as a place to strengthen everything. And it's only Juna that Cheryl thinks about now. Cheryl closed her eyes. When will Juna be understand? Was Cheryl the first to confess her feelings? Even though one campus knew how the girl felt about the prince.
Cheryl let out a tired breath. Relations with her mother deteriorated again. Care of the devil! Delisha cares that her life doesn't change for the better. Everything is stuck.
Knock... knock... knock...
There was a knock on the door. But Cheryl was lazy to open the door.
"Cheryl." Delisha's voice called out in a soft tone. The girl's feelings burst. She was touched and sad at the same time. Delisha still cares for her. Cheryl let her mother knock on the door.
"Cheryl. I know you heard. It doesn't I want you to be like this, but Mum is confused about how to say it." The clear liquid has seeped out of the chocolate net. Cheryl felt her cheeks warm. How bad is her life story? What big secret happened to her? The girl roughly wiped her tears.
"I was tormented by all this. Maybe for you, I was cruel and evil, maybe I am is cruel, but I did everything to protect you" Cheryl's body trembled. Slowly her feet led her down from the plastic chair and toward the door. Cheryl just stood there. She wanted to hear more, what Delisha wanted to say.
"In the past, when you were born, seeing the red baby was happy, I was touched. At that time, I was determined to do to make you happy. No, but when I first felt the first kick in the stomach. I was sure, I will have a beautiful daughter. I do everything possible so that you are happy by letting us live alone, all for your sake." Delisha's explanation made Cheryl feel even more confused. The girl was already sitting up and hugging her legs and sinking her head. Cheryl can not imagine what kind of childhood she lived? What type of concern is her mom said? But what she remembered was that she was always lonely and never considered until she grew up and understood the cruelty of the world.
"Maybe you have the right to be angry. But can't you forbid it for your good? I know, you're an adult. You have feeling towards man." Delisha paused her sentence. Cheryl knew her mother was holding back tears. Discussing Cheryl again opens old wounds that make Delisha's life even worse.
"But not at Juna. Juna is not as good as it looks. You will be disappointed." Cheryl remembered Aldo's warning words. What's wrong with Juna? Why is that man acting mysterious?
Cheryl took a deep breath. Juna that man messed up her life. He was willing to humiliate her pride, and Juna's response was just that.
"Many men. Look for a man who cares, that responsible." The last word stabbed Cheryl. She knew that her mother was the victim of an irresponsible, selfish man who made her second life like this.
"I love you, mom," Cheryl whispered, even though she knew the grown woman behind the door was not listening. Cheryl is determined to make her mother happy, even though now she wants to calm herself down first selfishly. She needed to think about all this. Throwing feelings on Juna is not as easy as that guy. That feeling has taken root.
"Yes, we need time to think about all this. I asked, learn not to like Juna. You will be disappointed and a bigger heartbreak." It's not okay. Cheryl was heartbroken first. What if the real thing happened? How great was her broken heart? Can it break a bone?
Cheryl could hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Cheryl finally got up, took a deep breath, and sat on the bed, thinking about all the sudden events. Why is he still expecting Juna? Everyone forbids it. Even Juna's response to him is what it is.
"Argh ... damn everything!"
Cheryl went to her bed. She forgot where she dumped her bag. The girl took her mini backpack, which contained only one notebook and a pen. Cheryl needs the one. She wants to pour it all out. Even though she knows only a Galvin and fantasizes it is Juna, but sending a message with the one can make Cheryl a little cheered up.
After finding her bag, Cheryl reached into her cellphone and read the message from the one, which she had renamed.
Cherylalala : Guess what?
The One : What?
Cherylalala : I'm pulling it, hehehe.
This is one of the strengths Cheryl, and she is very good at acting. She who is sad for a few minutes is immediately cheerful the next. Cheryl doesn't like to be late with a problem. Cheryl won't let it bother her for a long time. Cheryl was good at hiding her hurt and sadness she felt by being silly in front of many people to attract people's attention. If everyone finds out, the girl is lonely.
Cheryl knew that her mother's relationship was limited to this because everything had gone wrong from the start. Delisha will continue to stretch the distance, making it difficult for Cheryl to touch her mother's heart. Cheryl only hopes that her mother is happy, and if possible, there is a man who can accept her. Cheryl does not matter if Delisha remarries. That woman must be happy too. Cheryl can undoubtedly find her happiness, and she is sincere if, in the end, it's not with Juna, but Cheryl wants a prince who treats herself like a princess, which doesn't make Cheryl continue to suffer.
Even though in her shadow, Cheryl still expected Juna. She was expecting him so severely.
"Juna, you're so cruel! Just die." Cheryl hissed irritably. If Juna died quickly, she wouldn't need to feel all of this. The next minute Cheryl realized her stupidity, and the girl shook her head that should be the sinful heart, asking her later why she should be attracted to someone who completely ignored her. Even Cheryl had blatantly shown her love, but still, Juna was insensitive.
The One : If you feel bored, you can eat glass, let the bored work.
Cheryl just pursed her lips in annoyance. The one so annoying! Without realizing it or not, sometimes annoying sentences like this make Cheryl always remember Aldo. Huh ... that reckless human-made Cheryl lose focus.
Cherylalala : How come there are glass snacks ππ.
The one: Eat really, like magic.
Cheryalala: πππ
The One: Or dance ballet.
Cheryalala:Β Huh, my mess is getting worse. I'm not chatting there.
The One : Okay.
Cheryl became even more scornful. The damn one! He was successful in making Cheryl happy, and then he was annoying again.
Cherylalala : Cheer me up πππ
The one : Cheer up.
Cherylalala: You son of a bitch! I am annoyed.
The One : okay.
In short, like this, Cheryl had guessed it was Juna. But it's true, Juna.
Cherylalala : You are Juna.
The one: (?)
Cherylalala: As expected. Juna, I have something to say.
The One : What?
Cheryalala: I know, maybe we are not matched, but can you reply to my feelings? I mean, perhaps just an hour a day, a week, or forever. I want to feel like everyone else π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί.
The One: we are, mate :)
Cheryl just smiled. She is the most desperate girl. How could it be? She immediately asked like that. Juna's feelings couldn't be forced. Juna saw that there was no attractive side to Cheryl that could make him fall for her charm. Juna saw, Cheryl was just a noisy, lacking affection, attention-thirsty girl who covered all of her silly behavior. It is precisely what Juna considers the woman to be is Rose. How that girl with a wide heart can accept the people around her, patient girl, smart girl, everything in Rose looks perfect in Juna's eyes. She is a visual creature, but Cheryl's visual is unable to fade Rose's personality.
If you are curious, why doesn't Juna tell her feelings for Rose? Do they have the heart to hurt Cheryl's feelings while they are happy? Cheryl could look for something else, but the wounds would have left a mark, and taking delight in the other person's suffering would have made the relationship go wrong. Juna wants to have a straight love story without twists and turns in every way.
Two people who hold the same feelings, which they keep for the happiness of a girl. See how the sacrifice of Juna and Rose. Is it like this, Cheryl's life still looks miserable? So many conveniences she got, a friend who was always there for her was a price that could not be paid with a mountain of diamonds.
Cheryl typed on her cell phone, erased it again, typed over and over again.
Cherylalala: Mo problem ππ
my heart is ready with all the worst. Don't make me look pathetic.
The One: I will not sadden you, princessβMark my words.
Cherylalala: π
The One : Don't get your hopes up for the cruel world. Our thoughts alone narrow the situation. The world is beautiful and full of puzzles. How do we interpret real life?
Cherylalala : Oh yeah.
The One : For you, Princess.
Cherylalala: by the way, can we meet or not?
The One : We are.
Cherylalala: Cinca? Omo ... can I hug later? πππ.
The One : You can, Princess.
Cheryl's eyes flared up. She was excited. Why could she hug Juna and feel how her heartbeat worked. If it beats fast, Cheryl is sure Juna has the same feelings. Otherwise, Cheryl needs to think of another strategy.
Cherylalala : see you ππ
Cheryl immediately jumped up and down on the bed. If possible, want to penetrate the upper house into the sky and Cheryl screaming as best she can, soon her love is in return.
____________________
Cheryl came in again when going down the stairs. Cheryl saw her mother, who was going back and forth. The girl was still feeling awkward. She just stood there and hoped Delisha would go first. Cheryl wanted to calm herself down from all this happening. She knew her mother did all this for her, but Cheryl couldn't take it all for granted because her memories were constantly spinning about bad things. There was never a memory from her childhood about a mother who was understanding and gave all her love. All Cheryl remembers was all the neglect she continued to get into adulthood.
"Cheryl." scolded Delisha when she saw her daughter just standing there thinking about something heavy. Cheryl just stared at her mother flatly. She acted like the old Cheryl.
Delisha just nodded. She felt like crying, but it had been enough for decades that he had endured all this alone. "I know, we need time," Delisha replied with a forced smile. Cheryl was silent, even though her heart was so popping up that she wanted to jump off the stairs and hit her mother and whisper lots of words of love but couldn't do any of it.
"I will go first. Tell me if there is anything." Delisha grabbed the black briefcase that Cheryl made sure was expensive. She took the shoe beside the exit and closed the door again. Cheryl stared at the orange-colored floor. Hah! Get rid of all these feelings of anxiety. Cheryl wants to pick up her happiness.
Cheryl saw her appearance, and the girl was wearing a white dress. She wants her meeting later to be a sacred moment.
"Spirit." Cheryl clenched her fists upward, cheered herself up, and pulled out the brown leather backpack. Cheryl waited for Rose to pick her up.
After locking all the doors, the girl immediately waited on the roadside of her house. Whereas usually, Rose had to grumble at length because Cheryl was always late.
Cheryl reopened the chat with the one. She wanted to skip class again, but she knew Rose didn't want to, and the one was also practicing, so Cheryl relented and went to college first. After that, she would meet the one she believed was Juna.
Cheryl winced in surprise when Rose's car kissed her right away. If it went a little further, Cheryl would be run over.
"Where you going, beautiful girl?" Rose teased, which made Cheryl roll her eyes.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Cheryl spun around, asking Rose for approval.
"Beautiful."
"Cinca? Omo ... ah .. the prince on horseback, will immediately fall in love with me." Rose was just annoyed.
"The prince like that, like calm girls." The taste for kicking her best friend was great, but Cheryl knew their plan would fail later.
"Okay, let's go. I'm excited about studying." Rose let Cheryl be noisy when the girl played music and sang that was not in line with the lyrics and rhythm, making Rose's head almost burst because she was dizzy hearing Cheryl's nonsense singing.
Sometimes when I look into your eyes. I pretend your mine all the damn time.
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Yeah, I want you
Is it cool that I said all that
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
'Cause I like you.
Rose hit Cheryl hard on the head. Forced to do this, Cheryl's voice broke her concentration.
Cheryl immediately grimaced in pain, continued to sing regardless of Rose's warning. The important thing is that being happy is the principle.
___________________
During recess, the one can promise they can meet briefly. Cheryl, of course, agreed immediately.
They will meet in an empty house that has not been lived in for a long time. Cheryl only obeyed because they did not meet in the place, but only on the roadside of a mahogany tree. It happened that the tree was big and shady that could shade anyone.
Cheryl came down when she saw a boy standing there, and he even dressed his clothes in a gray parachute jacket, don't forget the black glasses that perched cutely on his sharp nose. Cheryl swallowed herΒ saliva rough. Is this called dating? Is Cheryl going on a date?
The boy was still leaning on his motorbike and kept walking towards him.
"Welcome, Princess," He said, opening his hand.
"I know, if it's you, thank you," Cheryl said, bursting into tears. She wanted to run there and scramble to hug the owner of the jacket, but she still hesitated.
"I will make you happy, Princess." Cheryl was moved. This is the tackiest approach, care about the devil. The important thing is they are happy.
"I'm Cheryl." Cheryl held out her hand.
"The one." The guy replied firmly, which succeeded in making Cheryl laugh at her stupidity all this time.
She will be happy with the one. That's the promise.
________________________
Their journey is just about to begin, and then the conflict will slowly emerge to its peak.
I don't know Cheryl's conflict is light or not, I can't master it yet, and it depends on you to look at her. Later, we will explore Cheryl's past to be more precise about her parents' past and who the one is.
See you. Feel free to comment.
