Dagger

“Kill me now!”

You handed me your father’s dagger and you started unbuttoning your shirt, exposing your strong chest.

What’s going on?

“Strike me here”

You pointed at your chest and I shook in reply.

I don’t want to!

“You must kill me now or they’ll get you!”

You grabbed me by the wrist and pointed the blade to your desired point, slowly piecing your soft white skin.

Stop it!

I pulled my hand back and stepped back, away from you.

“If I die, you’ll be able to live with freely without the curse, you’ll be able to speak!”

You took a step forward but I moved back with every step you take.

I rather be speechless than let you die.

“Let me help you”

You reached out your arm, inviting me to take it as you smile so sweetly to me. I accepted your invitation as I reached out my hand and held yours, it was soft and warm yet it my chest felt bitter.

I don’t know what to do.

“Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side. You’re not going to be alone”

You wrapped me around in your embrace, inhaling your scent for the last time. I felt your hand slowly reaching for my hand with the dagger but I let you lead it away.

I’m sorry

Before you could fully take control, I turned the blade and stabbed myself on the stomach. My vision started to blur and sounds started to muffle as I felt the red liquid dripping down to my hands, while watching your face filled with mixed emotions then disappear after my last breath.

I know that you wanted to free me from the curse I was born with but I chose to free you from your curse, the curse of being forced to love me.

Chains

“Why did you do this to me?”

“Did what to you, sweetheart?”

“I mean chaining my hands and feet to the bed”

“Oh that!”

“Release me at once!”

“Sorry dear, but I can’t do that”

“Why not?!”

“It’s because you might escape and we don’t want that to happen, do we now?”

“You bastard! I swear I’ll kill you”

“I’m not sure you want to do that after what we did last night”

“S-Shut up!”

“I wish you’ll always be like this, so that we can be together forever”

“I rather die than be a slave to you”

“A slave? Dear, you are my angel. Why would I treat you like a slave?”

“You chained me here you son of a bitch”

“Don’t be angry, I just wanted to protect you, that’s all”

“I was fine until you chained me here”

“But I hate the fact that you left me and joined another clan, you know how hurt I was?”

“I don’t give a fuck”

“Why don’t we skip the talking then and go back to what we did last night?”

“Get off me!”

“I hope you’re ready because I won’t stop until you collapse this time”

Apple Tree

“I believe this is our last meeting”

“What?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier but I’m getting married soon, to a stranger that I’ve never met”

“Did your parents force you into this?”

“No, I actually agreed into this forced marriage”

“But, why?!”

“My parents needed the money”

“If you do this, are you going to be happy?”

“I don’t know, maybe I will or maybe I won’t”

“Then run away with me”

“What? Are you insane?”

“I maybe insane but I’m not as insane as you, sacrificing your happiness for money. Money can’t buy happiness”

“Well it does for some people”

“But you’re not one of them, I know what type of person you are. You rather run around the field and watch the skies the whole day, rather than worrying about the food you’ll eat the next day”

“But I have to do this, I can’t let my family die in poverty”

“Then wait for me, wait for me to rich enough to buy you a mansion and feed your family until they can’t take another bite. When that time comes, marry me”

“But I’ll be gone tomorrow”

“Then let’s meet each other in the same place, under the apple tree”

“Then I’ll wait for you”

“I’ll wait for you even for eternity”

“You’re back!”

“Well I told you didn’t I?”

“I missed you”

“I miss you too, how’s being a wife to that man?”

“He died after a month”

“I’m sorry”

“No, no it’s fine. I realized he didn’t love me, he didn’t even touch me on our honeymoon”

“Then how is your family?”

“They all left to another country, living the life with their pockets filled with cash and bellies filled with expensive meals”

“How are you then? I haven’t seen you in years”

“Well I’ve been lonely and tired of waiting for you. Are you supposed to ask me something when we see each other again?”

“How can I forget?”

He knelt down in front of her and pulled out a ring from his pocket.

“Will you marry me?”

“Of course I will”

Voice

“Good morning”

“Who are you?”

“I’m your friend”

“I don’t know you”

“Did you miss me?”

“Get away from me!”

“I don’t bite”

“You scare me”

“But don’t we do this everyday?”

“I’ve never even seen you in my whole life!”

“Oh you have my dear, many times”

“Who-”

“Like I said, I’m your friend”

“But I don’t have any”

“You have me!”

“Are you even real?”

“I am, if you only believe in me”

“What do you mean?”

“I am your friend”

“Are you a hallucination, an illusion, a con, or something?”

“I can be whatever you want, friend”

“But if I hold on to you, will you disappear like the others?”

“Of course not”

“But that what they said after I…”

“Shhh…. Hush now my dear, you were just dreaming”

“Why do you seem so real?”

“I can only be as real as you want me to be, I exist because of you”

“Then I believe you”

“Then I am your only true friend”

My Life

“I have no love life”

“But you do!”

“Oh yeah, prove it!”

“You got me”

“I don’t even love you that way”

“But you do, I can tell by the sound of your heart beating and the way your hand tremble with my touches”

“Just stop!”

“Why? Are you too scared to admit it”

“No, it’s just that…”

“Oh I get it, it’s because I’m not even real. I’m just an illusion to you”

“No you’re not! You are real to me!”

“But people would call you weird for falling in love with someone who doesn’t exist”

“Well screw them! You’re real in my world and that’s what’s important”

“What if I fade away?”

“No, you won’t fade away!”

“What if you forget me?”

“Never!”

“My existence is only limited by your imagination”

“Then I won’t stop imagining, I won’t stop believing. I’ll let myself live a lie just so that I can be with you”

“Then you love me?”

“Of course you idiot, that’s why you exist in my world. I love you”

“I love you too”

Forgotten?

“It’s been 8 years”

“I thought you’ve forgotten about me”

“I would never forget you, I always thought about you”

“But you never called me, texted me, or even write to me”

“Oh…”

“I heard you got married”

“Yeah…”

“Congratulations, I’ll take my leave now. It was nice seeing you again”

“Wait!”

“What now?”

“Would you play something for me before you leave?”

“You want me to play the piano?”

“Come on, for old times sake. I head you became a concert artist”

“Well if it’s going to make you shut up, might as well play something”

“Awesome”

~♫♩♫~

“That was our song”

“I never said I forgot about it”

“I love you”

“I love you too, never forget that”

Awkward Dialogues

“I don’t know why these words just had to appear in my draft”

“Maybe you really wanted to write it down”

“But I hate romantic and cheesy lines, it makes me want to vomit”

“Hm… Seems like you just wanted someone to say those things for you”

“That’s gross”

“‘You’re getting prettier every single day'”

“Shut up”

“‘Do you want me to hold your hand, it seems lonely?'”

“Don’t touch me”

“‘I like you'”

“Get away”

“‘I know you feel the same way, I can tell by your eyes'”

“Just stop it”

“‘Do you need a hug, I can always give you one?'”

“I don’t need one”

“I’m kidding, it’s not like I really meant those words”

“This is the reason why I vowed that I will be forever single”

“Why is that?”

“I don’t give a damn about romance”

“Lighten up will you”

“Still not changing my mind”

“But your work doesn’t say so”

“It’s not like these things will ever happen in my life”

“‘Do you want to kiss me?'”

“…”

“Maybe I can do some modifications here”
