"In a blink of an eye"

(𝖢𝗁𝖺𝗉𝗍𝖾𝗋 6: 𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖥𝖨𝖭𝖠𝖫𝖤)

Abdul: Wait....Are you actually.........breaking up with him?

Luna: *laughs* I'm not planning to but......I just feel like I don't deserve him..

Abdul: What? Of course not! You're perfect! The kind of girl everyone yearns for.

Luna: *chuckles* I said that before too, here at this very stream. I was so confident and proud of myself back then that I brought great pain to the person who loved me the most.

Abdul: Huh?

Luna: Never mind that

Abdul: Why are you acting like this?

Luna: *sigh* I was given the chance to be here again and today I'm still here. I don't know when I'll be gone nor the fact if he'll still love me. My future is unpredictable.

Abdul: *laughs* I don't know if I should feel sad or funny. I understand nothing from what you have just said.

Luna: *laughs* Anyways, have you seen Sheon last night?

Abdul: Last night? No. Why? Was he not in the hospital with you?

Luna: No...he wasn't there.

Abdul: That's....pretty odd.

Luna: I wonder where he we—

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Luna: Excuse me.

She picked her phone from her sling bag, saw Sheon's name and quickly answered it.

Luna: Sheon! What happened? Are you alright? Where were you last—

Sheon: I'm sorry.

Luna: W-What are you talking about? Where are you?

Sheon: I'm at our usua—

Luna: Usual place! Got it. I'll be heading over there, wait for me.

She hung up the phone and instantly stood up.

Luna: I have to go now Abdul. See ya!

Abdul: Hey where are—*sigh*

She jogged towards the road to hail a taxi. After some time, she arrived and immediately went towards Sheon. Along the way, she recalled the time where they were in that very place too—ending their relationship. This time, she doesn't know what fate brought her and all she could do was face it.

Sheon: You're here.

Luna came and hugged him tightly.

Luna: Where were you yesterday? I thought you're mad at me or s—

Sheon: Luna.....

He held her shoulders and gently pushed her away.

Sheon: I'm sorry.

Luna: What are you talking about?

Sheon: I know I'm not the perfect boyfriend. I'm sorry.

Sheon lowered his head, all downhearted. Luna placed her palms on his cheeks and lifted his face.

Luna: No, no. Of course not Sheon. You're the best boyfriend I could ever have.

Sheon: R-Really?

Luna: Hmmhm. What made you think of such nonsense thought?

Sheon: Last night you were mad and I-I thought you were mad at me because I did something wrong and that you weren't happy and that I.....failed as your boyfriend.....

Luna looked at him lovingly with her eyes tearing up again.

Luna: You silly goose. Why would I be?

She pulled him closer and hugged him tightly.

Sheon: So you're not mad?

Luna: No...

After some time enjoying the warmth of his embrace, she finally thought it was time to tell him.

Luna: I have something to tell you.

Sheon: What?

Luna held his hands and sat on the ground, leaning on the tree while Sheon sat beside her.

Luna: You see, I'm not from this time.

Sheon: What are you talking about?

Luna: I actually came from the future. We broke up because I was mean, cruel and a selfish person. We weren't just meant for each other....But then I don't know who or what gave me the opportunity to change everything and come back but here I am, still with you. Today was the day we broke up. You ended things with me as I didn't love and appreciate you enough.

Sheon: Wha—

Luna gazed at him and smiled.

Luna: I finally have to chance to love you properly this time but.....every wish has a consequence and that price made me realize how much I actually hurt you. You were suffering throughout our whole relationship but still, you were there for me all those time. It is just now that I realized how important you are to me Sheon. I guess regrets are actually always at the end.

Sheon: That's impossible but.....that was why you acted so....weird and—

Luna rested her palms on his hands, gazed upon it then slowly looked at him.

Luna: You....believe me right?

Sheon nodded and smiled.

Sheon: Of course. What reason should I not believe the love of my life?

He intertwined his fingers with hers and gently made her head lean on his shoulders. He tilted his head towards her and closed his eyes.

Sheon: If that actually happened then I think nothing else already matters as long as you've learned your lesson and you're still here......beside me. I don't care about anything else but you Luna.

Luna: Thank you, Sheon.

Sheon released her hands and faced her. He gently moves her hair away from her face and gazes upon her affectionately.

Sheon: I'll always be here for you, no matter what you say or do, I'll always be right by your side loving and supporting you. Don't you forget that Luna.

Luna hugged him tightly with her tears about to fall. Sheon hugged her back and smiled.

Sheon: I love you Luna.

Luna: I—

At that very moment, a high-pitched ringing on her ear occurred. She flinched upon hearing it and Sheon immediately looked at her to see what was wrong.

Sheon: Luna? Is something wrong?

Luna: My ears! Ah!

Luna distanced away and covered her ears. As she looked around, everything was slowly getting bright. After some time, she looked at Sheon, who was all concerned and worried, and realized.......it was time. She placed her trembling hands on his cheeks and sweetly smiled as tears began to fall from her eyes.

Luna: I love you too, Sheon.

Then, everything turned white and slowly, she couldn't see him as the bright light occupied her vision.

He was gone.

As she sluggishly opened her eyes, she found herself at a dark, four-cornered room—the hotel room she was staying. As her eyes wandered around, looking for Adrien, he was no longer there. She was on the floor, in front of the wide window with a bottle of wine beside her.

Luna: I-I'm....back.

She stood up and went to glance at the view outside. She started crying again as she felt mad and blue. She screamed to let her pain out, it was a very heartbreaking moment. She sobbed and sobbed but as her eyes reached the floor, she spotted a photo.

Luna: W-what is this?

She picked it up and saw her face. In the photo, she was sitting inside a classroom with a book on her hand. The sunlight hits her face and the photo seemed to be taken outside by the window—as if someone secretly took it.

Luna: What is....this?

She flipped the photo and saw a note, still with Sheon's writing.

Her hands dropped straight to the ground. She slouched and sighed.

Luna: I.....

She laughed but then eventually, she started crying again.

Luna: I didn't even give him the chance to sing that before. I even told him it's a waste of time and we should spend it studying instead. W-What......have I done?

She covered her face with her palms and simply released all the pain and anger she felt.

Luna: I realized everything too late but I know for sure that right now......my heart longs for you and only you, Sheon.
