"Realizing your mistakes"

Luna: W-What did you say?

Sheon: Let's end our relationship, I can't take it anymore Luna.

Luna: Ha! You must be joking Sheon. And what reasons can you point out that made you conclude on such decision?

Sheon: You.

Luna: Me? *scoffs* What's wrong with me?

Sheon: I feel worthless around you Luna. I try my hardest to please you but you just wouldn't appreciate everything I've done so far. Everytime you scold me and tell me how I should do this and that, I feel so small and feel as if I'm rather your pet than a boyfriend.

Luna: What?

Sheon: I want to be that kind of guy who'd make you happy, give you flowers and surprise you. But I couldn't Luna. You always want everything to go your way. I-I just can't bare with it anymore.

Luna: You're my boyfriend and I want ever—

Sheon: I'm a human with feelings too Luna! Haven't you thought of how I felt all those time? Every single time I try to give you a gift you just return it saying it's not educational or the quality is too cheap. Haven't you thought of all the effort I placed just to get those?

Luna was stunned because Sheon yelled at her. It was the first time she saw him finally snap.

Luna: I didn't tell you to buy those!

Sheon: Well at least you could have accepted and acted that you cared! I want to feel loved and appreciated too but because of you I felt so......so little! Everyday my self-esteem lowers with everything you have said to me! I want to take you on dates, hold your hands and spend a moment with you without you lecturing me about anything! I understand you're the type of person who wants everything to be perfect but does being perfect and having everything your own way makes the people around you happy too?

Luna: Of course because everything will be flawless and nothing would go wrong—

Sheon: NO! NO Luna! No one is happy about it! Being self-centered and tactless is hurting everyone around you! You're making them feel small, you're making ME feel so weak! I love you but I just can't! I can't put up with it anymore. Sometimes I wonder if there was anything I lack as a boyfriend but then I realized....

Sheon turned his back on Luna and sighed.

Sheon: .......Maybe you didn't see me as a lover at all. I was just probably someone you were with to pass time and not someone who you thought will still be with by the future. We're just not right for each other. Let's end everything now... after all, you would never give an ounce of your care. Goodbye, Luna.

Sheon walked away while Luna was left alone standing beside the huge tree.

Luna: T-That was absurd!

Her eyes suddenly felt teary and she quickly rubbed it.

Luna: Why the hell are my eyes wet! *laughs* This is hilarious, what's the big deal about it? You guys just broke up that's all! There are more men out there who deserves you.

She felt as if her heart sank down but was trying to avoid the fact it was because she felt sad.

Luna: Stop it Luna! You shouldn't feel this way for someone who's pathetic enough to end things with you. Nope. No, no.

She walked away towards the highway. She then again called for a taxi and went inside.

Taxi Driver: Where to ma'am?

Luna: Paris please.

Taxi Driver: But that's too far, it's already another cit—

Luna: I'll pay you double.

The taxi driver didn't want to despite the huge amount of money but as she spoke with a strong and composed voice her eyes said otherwise—she looked sad and hurt on the inside so eventually, he agreed.

Taxi Driver: Alright ma'am. We'll probably arrive in an hour or two.

Luna: Thank you sir.

As they started driving to Paris, Luna was at the back seat looking through the window. Her eyes were filled with sadness and instead of the usual proud and confident Luna, she looked rather miserable.

Tears finally fell from her eyes and instead of stopping herself, she cried there silently. She was indeed hurt from what Sheon has just said. She loved him but didn't think everything was that complicated. She was just focusing on herself throughout the whole time which made people leave her......

[ A FEW MONTHS LATER ]

Even after all these time, Luna still couldn't get over of the fact that Sheon broke up with her while Sheon has already found a new lover—Akiyo. One day, as Luna was outside to buy new books, she saw them cuddling each other at the park. She was heartbroken and jealous. She felt the urge to be alone and finally let all the pain out.

After an hour, she arrived at the Eiffel tower. Luna stood in front of it and gazed along the people around her. There were couples feeding each other some ice cream, parents taking some pictures with their children and a group of friends joking around. She slowly started walking towards a store and bought a liquor. She then rented a hotel room, settled everything and sat by a nearby window with a glass of wine on her hands.

Luna: A glass of wine, a cozy room and a magnificent view. Ahhh~ what a perfect combination.

She started drinking—well probably too much. She got drunk and did and said all sort of stuff.

Luna: Genie!! Are you real? Can you give me 3 wishes!? Pleaaaasssee!

Luna: Why did he break up with me? Did he find someone else prettier? Ha! No way.

Luna: Why her.......? Could she be smarter than me? What if she's actually a genuis?

Luna: Can't you just love me back...?

Luna: I miss you.....Please come back. It's my fault, everything is my fault!

Luna: Should I give him this bottle as a sorry gift? Hmmmm....how about my collection of novels? Would he like those?

Luna: I....want you back. I really do.

As she was leaning on the couch with the bottle of wine on her hands, a meteor shower suddenly happened.

Luna: What is that?

She stood up and got closer to the window.

Luna: The stars are falling!! Woaaahh!

She then placed her hands together and closed her eyes.

Luna: I don't usually believe in this but....this time, I'm desperate.

She sighed and wished for the best.

Luna: Please take me back to the time where Sheon still loves me. Take me back to the time where I was the one beside him. I'll do anything, I'll change! Give me one more chance to go back. Please....

She wished wholeheartedly as the stars were falling.

Luna: Please..........I still love him.

After that, she suddenly fainted as she was already too drunk. By the morning, she woke up in her bed. She was peacefully sleeping as the ray of the sun slowly kisses her face. She sluggishly woke up and sat on her bed. She looked outside and saw birds on trees chirping and the sun rising.

Luna: I'm home? Did dad pick me up last night? *yawns*

Tom: Luna! You're gonna be late for school.

Luna: School? But isn't it already summer?

She stood up from her bed with her hair all messed up and her brain only half awake. She went out of her room and went straight to the kitchen. There, Tom was placing the dishes on the table and Cass calling someone. Luna was confused as to why her mom is home.

Tom: Morning!

Luna: Morning. Why is mom here? Shouldn't she be in a business trip?

Tom: What do you mean?

Luna: You know, the business trip to Singapore?

Tom: What are you talking about? That business trip will still be a few months later.

Luna: *laughs* You must be joking dad.But wasn't it scheduled a few weeks ago,on July 17th? Why is she back home already?

Tom: Is something wrong with you? Are you having a fever? It's still February 12.

Luna: What?

Tom: Today is the 12th of February.

Luna was shocked, she quickly stood up and ran back to her room. She then unlocked her phone and called Abdul. As her phone was still ringing she was terrified and confused because she didn't know what was happening. Finally he answered.

Luna: What is happening? What day is it today? Did you go back in time too—

Abdul: Woah, woah, woah. Slow down Luna.

Luna: *exhales* What day is it today?

Abdul: The 12th?

Luna: T-The 12th?

Abdul: Did you just ask me to make me jealous that this will be your first day with your boyfriend?

Luna: First day?

She suddenly recalled her memory and remembered that she answered Sheon's confession on the 11th of February. She was flabbergasted and petrified.

Abdul: Trying to act like you don't remember? Pfftt. You won't be able to play with me Luna. Are you still home? You better hurry because Sheon might be waiting for you at school.

Luna: D-Did I just.....go back in time?
