AND
CHAPTER 27
Seeing Sally's struggle that was always there when I was in trouble made me love her back, and we decided to reverse it.
Everyone always said that I was a very lucky man to get Sally's heart back. Most people think Sally is a near-perfect person. Beautiful, good, smart plus now she's successful in her career. Many people say that Sally is the dream of every man.
People's exaggerated judgments about Sally made me wonder why the near-perfect Sally would want to be with someone like me. I once hurt him. And now I regret it.
Every time I close my eyes and try to imagine Sally smiling but it seems to be the expression of When that leaves me with emotion. And I tried so hard to get rid of it, because I didn't want to when I was dating Sally but my heart and mind still imagined Bila. I'm trying to let go of this jostling guilt.
...&&&&&...
I walked towards the kitchen while carrying the dirty dishes and glasses carefully. Suddenly, my steps became slow when I saw her. There's a shadow when you're washing dirty dishes and glasses as if they're real.
My hallucinations are too much, until the shadows are real. I walked over to him with an erratic feeling. She didn't even look at me, not even a glance. I placed the dirty dishes and glasses so loud that it made a loud noise. But He remained silent as if I were just a mosquito that kept ringing in his ears.
Dev realizes Dev is just a shadow.
...&&&&&...
My efforts to love Sally keep me doing. I traced a shelf full of dolls in a toy store. I looked at the bunny dolls of various shapes and colors. Sally's happy face was already on my mind. I had to pick and buy him the best doll.
"It's a shame I want this white teddy bear" said a girl in a high school uniform to her boyfriend who wears the same uniform.
The man picked up another teddy bear and squatted in front of his girlfriend. "It's just better" he said, holding out a brown teddy bear to his girlfriend. "White color will get dirty soon, this one is just better."
There was a strange feeling coming into my head. Seeing them like me and when you first date. It was all too long for me to remember.
...&&&&&...
"Sally, see what I brought?" I cried so cheerfully that I met Sally at her house. Sally smiled at me. My feelings were still too shocked to see Sally's smile.
"What a great doll, thank you, dear" he said gently.
I saw Sally's father emerge from the kitchen and bring two glasses of warm tea. His father looked at me and we started talking.
"What did Dev bring?" ask Sally's dad.
"It's an elephant doll for lady Sally Om" I replied jokingly.
His father just smiled as if he was used to my jokes. I brought a teddy bear but called it an elephant. Sally was just watching me tell her dad a familiar story.
I accidentally looked into Sally's shady and calm eyes until it emitted a light of sincerity. I turned my eyes to the legs of the table. Seeing the radiance of Sally's sincerity back reminded me of guilt.
Yes, it may be true people say she is a beautiful and kind woman. I used to waste it and it was the biggest mistake.
But, every time I asked myself if I really loved Sally and forgot that if I did, I never found an answer.
