Well quickly jumped out of his bed and ran towards his cabinet to pull out some clothes. He changed his pair of blue and white stripes of pajamas into a pink polo shirt and a plain, black jeans. He reached for a couple of accessories on his jewelry box which was located on the uppermost layer of the drawers beside his cabinet. He wore a Rolex silver watch, the one his Dad, Gerard Smith gave him as a present during his fifteenth birthday, and his silver anchor necklace which his best friend, JH bought for him from a dollar junkshop back when they were still studying together on Well’s former high school. These were the two jewelries he would only were during important and sentimental occassions. Such as this one. He and his new friend, Allen Mar was about to meet on the City Central Plaza to continue or to resume the friendship that Allen Mar had temporarily ended just simply because he got angry after Well frankly asked him questions that triggered his inner self to explode in massive
“You are telling me that you are fucking willing to wait for more than two hours here? Are you joking me?” Binsent Anchorman said as he led the way to the nearest 711 store-- which was on the right wing of the Johannson Street, the only street with a name around the City Central Plaza.“Uhm, yep. That is exactly what I am telling you,” Well replied, looking unbothered as he kept on walking following the path that Binsent Anchorman took. “I am not asking you to wait with me here, so, what is with that frustration?” Well asked back to him, his eyes blinking in a series of winks-- left eye and then right eye, and then repeat.“Nothing.” Binsent Anchorman stopped. “It is just-- you know-- unbelievable. I mean, I have never encountered anyone who is willing to wait for hours and hours in some boring place under the broad daylight just for someone who he had a misunderstanding with. It does not make any sense to me, you know what I mean?” He continued walking forward.“Does it have to make
Binsent Anchorman sat down on one of the four monoblock chairs around the only table outside of the same store. Well sat right next to him. “That is a different kind of waiting, though,” the old bloke replied. “That waiting is one where everything that is about to happen next is unknown, and you are bound between ending it and running for your life, and continuing it for the sake of the accomplishment of the misson. That kind of waiting is deadly. While your kind of waiting is-- I don’t kno what to call it anymore.” “Sentimental,” Well answered. “My kind of waiting is sentimental. And all sentimental things are usually boring. That is in their nature. But not in my case. Sentimental things-- to me-- they are the most risk-worthy thing in the world. Like-- you know-- I would be willing to brave all the odds just to achieve that sentimental value. I don’t know. Maybe you do not understand what I mean. Even I, sometimes, don’t understand what I mean. Is that what, we people, really are?
Three wild hours of waiting and finally, Allen Mar appeared in the scene. He was wearing a blue cap, and a pair of red basketball jersey uniform. His footwear was a pair of red, brand new flip flops. He smelled like an expensive wine, and the fact that he was wearing a vintage tinted glasses only supported the mere allegation that he looked just as fine as a newly bloomed actor in the acting industry. He looked both to the left and to the right before he proceeded crossing the pedestrian lane. En route to the direction of the 711 store where Well and Binsent Anchorman had been waiting on the table outside, Well looked at the man in front of him and started a mini conversation.“I don’t know if he had seen you already, but I bet he was going to freak out if he sees your face. He must surely mistaken you as Detective Deib Anchorman. Brace yourself because you are about to explain things as soon as he arrives here on the table,” Well said as he rested his eyebrows and took a sip on the i
Well locked eyes with Binsent Anchorman. His bare, brown face suddenly turned blueish white. His eyes grew wide. His eyebrows raised up above the sky. And with a mouth growing into a massiive capital O, a voice squeeked out of his vocal chord. “What the actual fuck?!” he shouted as he stepped back. “You are alive?!” he asked, his voice shuddering as if he spoke it while facing an electric fan. His gaze kept on sticking onto the view of Detective Deib Anchorman’s carbon copy. “How about you sit down so that we can begin to explain things and you can begin to comprehend and understand?” Well said as he cupped his face with his cold, trembling hands and controlled him down to take a seat. “I know things look a little messy, and I know for some reason that you are thinking it is in you that is wrong, but no. I was exactly like you at first but then I got some enlightenment after hearing the explanation and the reason behind.” “Enlightement about what exactly?” Allen Mar asked as he sat d
The meet up was supposed to be exclusive only for Well and Allen Mar because it was going to be their time to talk about things and maybe apologize for each other for the mess that they have done in each other’s feelings. However, but because Binsent Anchorman joined in the frame, the two young boys were left with no choice but to deal with it and just brush off the idea of their so called face to face talking stage. Instead, what came into their mind was another thought that did not even come across to them earlier. Another problem, another hypothetical question sprung up, and everything was up for Well and Allen Mar, including the twin brother of Detective Deib Anchorman, if whether or not they were going to take it seriously or just leave it as it was-- merely an idea.“What makes you think that the culprits are after us? Because if I try to think of it, there is really nothing interesting about the two of us. You said, they were after us both, right? Aren’t we the weakest and most
The three arrived at the Noodle Bar, the place which Allen Mar said served the most amazing and most tongue-satisfying ramen soup he had been craving for. It was not that far from the City Central Plaza where they were supposed to be meeting at. The place was heavily crowded, that wa for sure. However, there was still a vacant table that seemed to have been reserved only just for them.“Is this the place? The one you said that serves a good bowl of ramen?” Well asked to clarify.“Oh, yes, yes my dear. Just by simply looking at it, my mouth is already drooling and my tongue can already sense how it tastes like. It is just so good. And so cheap, by the way,” Allen Mar explained. His eyes were like to rhimestones glued in replaced to his eyeballs, and they shimmered every single time he would take a pause to blink for a moment. There was never a second that Well took away his glance from him. He was struck in awe. He found it adorable to see Allen Mar forgetting about everything for a sh
Allen Mar's eyes were like rhinestones glued in replaced to his eyeballs, and they shimmered every single time he would take a pause to blink for a moment. There was never a second that Well took away his glance from him. He was struck in awe. He found it adorable to see Allen Mar forgetting about everything for a short time except for how his all-time favorite bowl of ramen tasted like and how his hungry soul craved for it. He was like a child. But an adorable, innocent little one. “Okay, then, let us get inside so I can judge if whether you are telling the truth or not,” Well said, deadpan. Although fairly, he was already looking forward that the ramen would really taste delicious. Well, he reckoned Allen Mar would never react and crave that way if it was not for the quality taste of the food. The three of them moved forward and into the sliding glass door of the Noodle Bar. Sure enough, the amount of people inside were so intense and so massive you could already conclude that the
