Why???

Part 2

14^th November

After a whole year of study, I’m now on my own sweet time.

Gerine and I planned to travel in Malaysia and Thai.

At first, I planned to visit Eugene on December’s holidays, but now I changed my plans.

I should travel along with Eugene.

We finally planned to go islands, enjoy others culture and buy ourselves some cheap things in Thai.

Gerine and Derrick would love to join us too.

It’ll be a great holiday.

I told Eugene my plans and he agreed.

He’s been stressed out of his exam and now need a rest.

We’ll fly to KL and meet on 16^th of November.

17^th November

We had a great time shopping in KL- Mid Valley.

Gerine and I bought loads of cosmetics while the guys bought some electronic gadgets and some outfits on Sales.

To travel on budget, we ate instant noodles with fruits since we got to KL.

For goodness sake, we will be moving on to Pulau Redang tomorrow morning.

It’s fun being with your love and your best buddies.

18^th November

I love this island.

The food there is more affordable and delicious.

Gerine and I went for a swim while the guys keep an eye on our things.

After that we go for a dive.

Derrick troubled himself when diving.

He kept coming up to the surface while we were enjoying ourselves with fishes and beautiful corals.

Gerine kept laughing at him and joke to him that he need an oxygen tank.

We then fed those fishes, some bit our fingers.

Ouch.

Gerine applied sun block for Derrick when he finally gets sunburns.

This guy’s lack of outings!

Eugene praised himself after dinner time when we were both left alone in the resort while Gerine and Derrick went to the beach for a romantic night-light.

He was proud not being Derrick.

I felt lucky too, not having Derrick’s kind of boyfriend.

He cuddled me with his strong arms and we lie on the cozy bed and watch TV.

After a kiss goodnight, I sneaked out to write.

Hahahaha.

19^th November

We are now at Genting Highlands.

We had to take 2 rooms in the first world hotel.

It’s damn squeezy in a room for 4.

We decided to have a chit-chat as we arrived in the evening and play those games next morning.

We chose a tea restaurant to chat.

We played a prank on the waitress, coz she looked so annoyed when we ask her for more tea.

Derrick’s good at playing pranks.

She served us hot tea then we poured it into an empty bottle then poured cold water in the tea pot then raced to that waitress and asked her about it.

She denied it definitely, but another waiter changed the tea for us so they wouldn’t get fired.

We laughed so much until I spilt some tea on Gerine’s T-shirt.

Derrick then accompanies Gerine back to the hotel to change.

Eugene said” At least he’s god at playing pranks.”

I said” And guitar too!” Reminding him.

They took about half an hour to meet us at MC Donald.

Their cheeks were red like ripe apples.

They said they lost their way, I’m not a dummy, certainly, I don’t believe it.

Eugene forced them for the truth.

Derrick finally told the truth that they had been kissing in the room.

Kakakakaka*

Very French style!

Eugene joked” Don’t kiss too much. You’ll both have your tongue tied one day.”

-. - Not funny after all.

Derrick took that quite seriously and asked “Really?”

Eugene made up a story of a French couple French kissing too much and had their tongue tied together.

Gerine and I giggled when Derrick looked worried.

Dummy, believing in this kind of story.

Eugene and I told our story and Gerine and Derrick told us theirs.

Recalling, it’s such a bad time between us.

I hide our relationship secretly from my dad.

He found out when we had an argument coz I was always online.

I told him the truth, at first, he did not accept it.

But after Eugene’s mom came over to convince my dad, my dad finally gave us a permit,

With some rules to deal, of course.

The main one, NO PRE-MATEL SEX.

Derrick and Gerine were amazed on how we keep on.

Derrick said he’d suffer if he cannot see Gerine for months.

Yeah, that’s what happened to Eugene and I when I‘d to keep moving.

At first, we always had one of us crying through phone telling how we missed each other,

But we knew we had to trust each other to make our relationship strong.

We studied hard to show our parents that our relationship will not affect our studies.

Gerine asked how we got together.

It’s so stupid recalling this, but still it’s sweet.

Eugene, who loves sending codes, sent me this message one day,

770, 880, 1314,520.

I cannot figure out by using our codes, blankly, I replied” New codes?”

“Yeah.”

I finally figured it out when he told me the night after.

Derrick played us songs in the room. He said Gerine accepted him through his singing.

I asked him to play that song he sang for Gerine again, he said he’d forgotten the words, coz he just made it out.

So I suggested another song from hi confessing his love towards Gerine.

He finally made up a song call “Living with Love”

I love it. I lied on Eugene’s arm and listened to every word he sang, pure, meaningful and so romantic.

I asked him to write that song for me after he sang it. He wrote it, here’s it.

Living with love

Living with love, I cried,

Living without you,

And my world will end,

Just like a rocket shooting to the moon-light…

There are friends, all around us,

There’s no one that could understand this meaningful, lovely…ooh

Friendship,

They laughed at me,

And said it was dumb,

But I knew for sure,

That this is true,

A pure

And meaningful …ooh

Friendship.

Yeah!

I couldn’t live without you…ooh…

Another day will be brighter when there’s me and you,

We’ll find sunshine,

Just for me and you.

Living with love,

Living with love,

Is when there’s me and you.

Eugene pinched me so hard until tears roll in my eyes when I was having my mind on Derrick’s song.

I cried in pain. Derrick stopped his song.

Gerine and Derrick looked at me full of curiosity.

I stern at Eugene, and asked him why did he pinched me.

He made a face and said” Why are you looking at him?”

He meant Derrick.

“What?” I asked blankly.

He answered roughly” You were looking at him just now!”

“I’m not!” Yeah, I’m sure that I wasn’t.

“Then, what in the world you were looking at?”

“His fingers larh! Dummy!”

By then only I get what he jelous was about.

He looked at me, with an “I DON’T BELIVE YOU” face.

However, I said” Never mind. Derrick, please keep on playing.”

Derrick looked worriedly at Eugene and me, so do Gerine.

I told them” He’ll get over it.”

By then, Eugene had gone out of the room.

Derrick stopped playing and asked me to go out with him.

I refused at first, but Gerine kept on persuading me and said she wanna have some time with Derrick. Well, I thought, I’ll go, for them.

I finally found him at the corridor. He’s staring at something blankly, but I knew he was thinking of something.

I walked behind him quietly; I hugged him, as soon as I walked near him.

He turned to look at me for a few sec, then turned his head back and continued staring.

Stupid! I thought.

But I continued lying on his back. He still remained silence, impatient; I walked back to our room.

He didn’t follow. I was quite sad about it.

Gerine cheered me up a bit with a cone of chocolate ice-cream which she bought while I was away.

She shared her cone with Derrick.

I should had been doing that if Eugene was with me.

Then, I went back to my room.

Sadly, I leaned over my pillow and licked my cone of ice-cream and watched some TV programmes to stop myself from thinking of Eugene, but I couldn’t.
