De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
A Shadow

"You said the man forgot the woman. How can you be happy?!" Xavier did not accept.

That woman should be sad, right? Moreover, Xavier had heard that the two loved each other until the man forgot him.

"It's good not to be together, right!" Jessie's upset.

"Oh yeah? You certain? Hmh! What kind of love is that!" her lips made Jessie even more upset.

"You're the one who wants to hear yourself!" Jessie wakes Xavier to get off his lap.

Jessie immediately broke her body. Pulling the blanket and lying on his back to Xavier.

"Why are you getting angry?"

Hells! Who started it?

"Tell me again" he asked guiltlessly, "you're not finished!"  Xavier grabbed her and hugged Jessie.

"No way!"

"Can't argue with your husband, Jess."

Ck! Just keep saying it! If I say I can't cheat on my wife, how?

"Jessie ..." There's no answer.

A momentary silence. Xavier lifted his head, confirming whether his wife was asleep. Apparently not. Jessie just stared out the window with a look.

Xavier floated a brief kiss on his cheek in a fit of anxiety. "All right, just sleep." Raise his wife's blanket and hug her back. Just about to close her eyes, Jessie's voice held her back.

"She's just a spoiled and stubborn girl. He likes to complain and whiny." Jessie suddenly spoke, "and I don't like it!" Jessie's hands clenched. His voice was like holding something back. All seen by Xavier.

The man clasped Jessie's clenched hand, putting his finger between her fingers.

"I don't want to hear it anymore." Xavier hid his face on Jessie's nape.

"Although that's the case, the man chose her. He said love means receiving. Whether it's good or bad. It makes the spoiled nature and childishness of the girl even more so." Jessie continued her story. I don't know what made that guy interested in a girl like that.

"If she's more mature, she probably won't have to lose her man."

"What's going on?" Xavier subconsciously asked.

"The man almost died because of it. For the stupid wish of the girl!"

The man was in an accident. The girl could only cry without being able to do anything, staring at her lover from the operating room door with her hands clasped in hope that God would still give her a chance.

The operation went well, but the man had forgotten some of his memories including his girl due to a brain injury.

"The girl gave up?" ask Xavier again. Xavier did not expect the next story to say if the girl left the man because of her condition or because of guilt.

"It wasn't his fault. The man loves her. He should have protected the girl." Xavier answered his own question like he already knew the next story, but Jessie smiled at Xavier's words.

I don't know. Maybe Jessie can only call it surrender.

"Just the fight? The man almost died for her, but the girl left." Xavier's upset.

That girl sucks! But there was no point in the girl there. 

"Xavier, how did you feel when you first met me?" Jessie turned her body towards Xavier.

"What's asking that?!" I don't know why Xavier doesn't want to remember. It was very bad at the time.

"You hate me, don't you. You're looking at me like you don't like staring at shit. Not to mention I'll be your wife" Jessie said in a mocking voice.

"What are you saying!" Xavier doesn't like to hear it.

"Maybe that's the man's reaction, Xav. Now the girl was a stranger to him, not a lover he had ever looked at with love."

Now in the eyes of the man, his existence was no longer desirable.

Xavier. In the heart it also allows.

"The man was very cold the first time. He doesn't like to approach women other than his mother. He's stubborn and rude. His words often hurt people, too" Jessie explained.

"How do you think he would react if the girl came and claimed to be a forgotten lover?"

Although the girl had tried, hoping for a miracle to appear. But he was like a stranger who was stared at disliked.

But that's not what made the girl give up. That guy would probably be better off without being with her. A woman who would fit in with a man like him. Not a woman who can only trouble and harm him.

He needs someone better. 

"That's what you say happy endings are?" Xavier smiled cynically.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I don't understand your way of thinking." Xavier shook his head in wonder. If that happened to her, would Jessie do the same? Why did this fear suddenly appear.

"The man was fine before he met the girl. Besides he lost his memory, there's nothing he needs to think about."

"Then the lady?" Xavier cerca.

"He's fine too. The girl was always watching her lover. That's enough to make her happy."

Might as well.

And become a shadow, Jessie's inner.

"Sounds naive!"
