I took my pocket knife
Hold it firmly
And scratched the surface of my skin
In front of Aurelia's naked eye
Her negative aura could be felt
Squimish and the room feels like hell
Her cold stare
Creeps me and makes me scare
In a split second, her hand holds my knife
She opens the blade and scratch her tigh
But I didn't see her bleed
I exhale in relief
“You could’ve bleed if you do that” I warned her
Again, I have to see the cold stare of her
"Why did you cut yourself?" She asked me
"Stress" I answered. Short straight and solid
“Don’t you cut yourself again!”
“If I don’t, what’s it for me then?”
She paused for 5 seconds
“I will cut my self too Peter”
“What?! How about your lover?!”
“Don’t care about him”
The way she said it, she is serious
I paused for a while
Thinking of her lover that gone wild
“You love me right?”
That question, really hits my mind
How did she finds out I carry the torch for her?
How did she knows my heart have her name written?
I panicked
And wishing God to get me killed
Then she continues her question
“As a friend”
My heart beats goes back to normal
And in a low voice I replied “yes”
By the time, I made a promise with an angel
The angel who saved me from the reaper
The angel who prevents me to be burnt in hell
The angel who prevents my family crying on my funeral
The angel that will do the same if I harm myself
Aurelia
Thank you
I won’t be around if we didn’t made that promise
