ME AND THE BROKEN BUILDING

 

            I go to the college at 07:00 o'clock, turning my motorcycle and riding slowly. I see the traffic is so freaking bad, but that is what see every day in this Maritim Country.

            I will tell you a little bit about my family that was arguably not doing well. I was born into a poor family. I am the second of 2 children and my age difference with my brother was about five and a half years. My mother said that I was going to have a sister but I don't know for sure what happened until my mother miscarried.

            My family used to be a poor family. My father was an unemployed and a heavy drunkard. My mother was a housewife who was always patient seeing my father's behavior. My brother was a student just like me and now he works as a food stall entrepreneur. And I'm an affected child of what my parents did.

            My father used to be a rude and hot-tempered man. My father always quarreled with my mother, and they did that in front of me and my brother. My brother was also often scolded by my father, and even my brother is often beaten by him. I don't know what caused it, but what I know is that my father was indeed a grumpy and rude man. Perhaps it was caused by the alcoholic beverage he consumed or because it was indeed such a trait. I don't know, I don't know.

            Finally, when I graduated from school, my parents divorced. My mother and brother went to the village and I lived with my father. I'm so frustrated that my parents are divorced. I couldn't think of anything but how I could put them back together. But what I'm doing is just a kid who understand nothing.

            Today is my first day to go to college. I am frustrated that my parents were separated but I still forced myself to go to college. When I get to campus, I meet a girl, who I find her face very charming. I am amazed to see her beautiful face. At once I want to go over to him and get acquainted, but the clock is already 8:15 and I have to rush into the classroom. In the classroom I sit in the back with people I don't know at all. A few minutes later the lecturer come and we learn.

            My class was over and I hurried home. On the road I saw the same thing as I set off, an inevitable traffic jam. When I got home, I opened my phone and was still thinking about the Woman I met this morning. I still remember when he turned his eyes to me. I didn't realize I was asleep thinking about it.

            I awoke, the clock struck 6:17. I rushed to prepare ready to go to college. The clock struck 7:03, I started my motor and went to campus. I drove fast, until I arrived at the college. In the parking lot, I saw the beauty again and I hurried over and got acquainted with her.

            "Hi, I'm John. I'm a freshman here. What's your name?". I ask.

            "Hello, I'm Jenny. I am also a freshman. I'm in class A. what about you?". She asks Again.

            "Oh, I'm in class C, right in front of your class". I reply with a smile.

            "Waw, nice to meet you, John. But I'm sorry I had to rush into the classroom". She says with a panic face.

            "Well, but will you meet me in the park later in the afternoon?". I ask again nervously.

            "Ok, I'll see you later". she speaks.

            "Fine, I'll wait. Bye". I say as I walk away.

            "Bye".

            I go to class with a sense of pleasure and a passionate heart. I study seriously because I feel good. Class is over and I hurry to the park. I am waiting for her with a smile like a crazy. And she's coming.

            "Hi, have you been waiting for a long time?". She asks with smile at her beautiful face.

            And I replied with a thumping heart. "Oh, not at all".

            We chat about today's lesson. And unconsciously the clock is already showing 3:10 p.m. And she says that she has to go home.

            "I think I gotta go home before the night come". She says.

            "Ok, I guess so". I reply.

            "You can come to my house tomorrow if you want to". She says.

            And I replied in surprise. "Really? Ok, see you tomorrow at home".

            "See you". She replies as she walks to go home.

            I go home and then I eat and after that I wash my feet and sleeep as usual. In the morning I wake up at 7:19, and I immediately rush to prepare after that I have breakfast. After breakfast I turn on the motorcycle and hurry away to Jenny's house. I arrive at Jenny's house. I press the bell of her house and she come out.

            "Hi, Jenny. How are you?". I ask.     

            "Halo, I am good". She replies like usual, smile at her beautiful face.

            I walk into his house and we are chatting. We also play games and others. But suddenly she is talking to me.

            "There are only us in my house. My parents are going to my grandma's house". She says.

            "So, what?". I ask confusedly.

            "Do you want to...". She asks nervously.

            "Want what?". I ask again.

            "Do you want to kiss me?". She asks.

            "Yes, I do". I answer with beating heart.

And then we are kissing. After that, we talk each other.

            "How was that?". She asks.

            "It was good. But I want to talk to you". I answer.

            "What is that?". Jenny asks.

            "I think I am in love with you". I answer.

            "Thank you, john. But I can't be with you". She answers.

            After hearing that I immediately go home, I ride my motorcycle so fast. The clock shows 20:00. Without eating dinner, I go to my bedroom and sleep. I am starving but I can't eat because of pain in my heart. Several minute later, I fell asleep.

            I wake up in the morning at 7:00. After that, I check up my phone as usual. There is a massage from Jenny but I don't care. Because of my broken heart, after my parents divorced and then got rejected by the woman I love.

            At night my friend calls me, his name is Tony.

            "Hi, John. Wanna hang out?". Tony asks.

            "Hallo, Tony. Of course." I answer happily.

            "Ok, just go to my house right now". He says.

            "On my way". Me.

            I arrive at Tony's house and then I press the bell. Then, Tony come out and ask me to come in. I come in to Tony's house and I see that Tony's house is so damn huge. In his room there is a bottle of water, but I don't really sure that is a water.

            "What is that, Tony?". I ask and pointed to the bottle.

            "That is an alcoholic drink. Do you want to try it?". He asks me back.

            "Hmm, I don't know". I answer.

            "Come on man, just try it". He says with the smile, a joker smile.

            Because I am depressed coupled with a broken heart, and didn't know who to vent on. Finally, with all the considerations in my brain I said yes to Tony's words. We drank the drink and didn't realize I am drunk. I go home drunk, and ride my motorcycle very fast. I don't pay attention to the road at all. In fact, I don't realize I am riding my motorcycle. Then, I see the light in front of me that is getting closer and closer. It turns out to be a car that is about to hit me. The driver of the car is pressing the horn but I can't move cause my head is too dizzy. I try so hard to deflect my motorcycle but it doesn't even move. In my heart I said "ah, it's too late".
