“We saved ourselves for a special right? ” she asked me.
And I nodded at that. She was right… We have never been in a relationship with someone. We were waiting for our true love to come and… We saved ourselves for that special person.
“Ley, I know he is the one, he is that person – that special person I was waiting for. He is the one I was saving myself for. I.. I really love him. It’s not attraction or something. we both know we are bounded with each other and we can’t live without each other. You know it’s just like he is other half of my soul, if I even try to live or be happy without him I can’t. Without him I’ll feel like I lost my other half. I know it. It’s just.. You know fate.. Just take it as fate want us to be together… He is my love given to me by my fate. He and I will be together till the end of our lives. ” she said smiling. She was happy and her eyes were clearly telling that.
“How do you know that he will be till your death? Cami what if he.. I mean how can you trust him so much? ” I asked her. And i meant it. How could she just trust someone whom she met few days ago and then she is willing to be with him for forever.
“Ley, ” She hold my hand in hers ” I know it’s hard for you to believe him. You just met him once. But you do believe me right? ” she said. And i nodded at her question. If there was someone whom I could trust blindly it was her.
“Then you trust in my belief. OK? I really love him and I can’t live without him. Just for my sake at least give him a chance. I know he can’t live without me too. He will die if we got apart. ” Cami said.
“I am sure I’ll make that true if he dares to leave me “I said. I know she had a point. I should at least give him a chance.
” I believe you and want the best for you. It’s just.. I’m concerned for you. If you are happy with him. I have no problems. But if you ever have to cry for him then he will surely have problems ” I added.
” I know ” she said.

It was Monday morning. Today was the day that I will finish my training and my officially work as a waiter starts.
I got up happily and saw I was alone at the bed.
“Cami ” I shouted.
“In the kitchen ” she replied from kitchen.
I got up and went to the washroom for morning routine. I quickly finished those and went to the kitchen.
When i got there , I smelled something was being burned. I looked at Cami she was talking on phone. She was blushing while talking on the phone.
I quickly ran to the kitchen. There were white rice on a cooker. And smoke was coming from it. I ran to it and turned it off. But in a hurry touched the cooker and my hand got burned. I felt so hot that I instantly take my hands back.
“What happened? Why are you running? ” she turned to me.
I turned of the cooker and replied to her. “Your sweet love make me feel jealous look I’m burnt ” I said as I show her hand.
“Oh my God, what are you doing? You burnt you hand? “she put down her phone. She said as she touch my burnt hand.
“Ahh it’s not that much. ” I withdraw my hand. Then I turned on the tap and soaked my hand in water.
I felt a relief in water. The hot sensation in hand was replaced with cool sensation.
“You continue to talk, I’ll make food or else we will have to eat burned food. ” I pushed her out of kitchen
“but… ”
” No but… ” I cut her off. After she was gone I came back to examine the rice. It was totally burnt and it was a waste now. I feel sorry for it. I took it to the sink. Then Cami came in running. I looked at her
“Phone ” she picked up her phone and waved at me. Then she ran out of the kitchen as she came in.
I make food for morning. And then we had it. After that we got ready for the restaurant.
While we reached there, there was a bit crowd. They were our staffs. Jenny, manager, Sophy, Skyler, the cooks and others were there too. We went in and said good morning to everyone.
It was Sister Skyler’s marriage in a few days. And today was her last day. Everone was here to bid her farewell. It was morning and no one was at restaurant. It were only we staffs here.
“Okay, let’s say goodbye to Skyler and wish her good luck for her life afterwards. Let’s wish her for a great marriage. ” our manager said.
“There wasn’t much we can do… But we got this for you. We wish you all the best for your life afterwards ” Ronand the head chef came pushing a trolley.
We all got excited seeing a big cake in the trolley. ‘Good luck ‘ was written on it.
“I hope you will like our small gift ” Ronand said.
Skyler covered her mouth and looked surprised. She hugged Ronand.
“I didn’t expect you guys will do this for me. I love it. Thank you ” she said.
“Sister Skyler, you have been a great sister, guide, helping hand to us. You made our working easier. It was so great to work with you ” Cami came forward and said
“Yes sister Skyler you are so helpful to me as well. You helped me a lot when I first came”
“Sister Skyler I thought no one will accept me here…. Because I used to odd one out in each job I did previous. And then I met you… You treated me so good and then you made me friends with all of them. And i have a lot of friends now. Thank you I’ll miss you. ”
“Sister Skyler, thank you for making me feel like your own sister. Thank you for taking care of me. ”
I went forward and said “Sister Skyler, I didn’t get to spend more time with you. But whatever time I spend with you were very good. You really helped me a lot. I’ll miss you. Congratulations for your marriage and wish you a good life ahead ”
“Sister Skyler we wish you a great marriage and good life ahead. ”
” Yes sister skyler, we wish you a healthy baby boy and cute baby girl too”
Everyone started wishing her good luck. Everyone was either congratulating her or saying her thank you.
“Enough now, everyone let’s cut the cake and let her go. She have a lot to prepare for her wedding ” Our manager said.
“we have one more thing ” he added. Then he asked me to came to his side. I went up to him.
” Riley’s training is over today. Now she is our staff officially ”
“congratulations Riley”
“congratulations”
“congratulations”
“congratulations”
“congratulations”
“stop now. Let Skyler cut her cake. “manager said again
“Riley came here. Leta cut it together ” Sister Skyler asked me.
“It’s okay sister you cut it ” I said to her.
“Are you denienng me ?” she said.
I shook my head and went up to her.
And then all of is stopped saying so. Then sister Skyler and I together cut the cake. All of us have the pieces of cake. And then we all said goodbye to Sister Skyler one by one. I also hugged her.
“You guys have been a family to me. I’ll miss you guys. ” She said before leaving.
We were talking how good was she then our manager said ” everyone get back to your works ”
All of us got shut and went back to our works.
While I was going to the kitchen I saw the table up in second floor. And those memories from that day came in my mind. I get hurt that he didn’t take a stand there and I drank that wine. How stupid was i? Why would he take a stand for me? He… He don’t even know what I felt when he is around. What doesn’t even know how much effected I got by him around. What kind of strange things or emotions I got inside me I have him around. Not only him I myself even don’t know what is inside me. What are those emotions for?
And that last time at that bar? I was so sad that he said those words. But why am I that much affected?
