Were you lonely for the New Year’s Eve celebration?
Were you lonely for the New Year’s Eve celebration?
I was so happy!! Lyndi had agreed to celebrate New Year’s Eve with me!! It was the 31st of December. It was New Year’s Eve. It was 8:10 pm that night, and I was with Lyndi, a friend of mine which I had a long crush on since I was young. She was with me that very night, just 2 of us and I was glad she was beside me. She had agreed to be with me that very night to celebrate this wonderful event. I wanted to enjoy this celebration with her as much as possible. I wanted her to be happy.
We were in an indoor theme park at Metro Mall. My part time job at Burger King finally paid off as I had enough money to enter the theme park with her to sit on the rides. There was a new ride called the F-Zone, which was a new roller coaster ride. It was thrilling from what I had heard from my friends. I wanted to try it.
And so I brought Lyndi to this ride. There were a lot of ppl waiting in line. It was a long cue. But I didn’t mind waiting.
I said to her,
"Lyndi, let’s get on this ride. It’ll be great!"
Lyndi replied in an uncertain voice,
"Erm… Can we skip this ride instead?"
I was confused as why she said that so I ask,
"Why, is there something wrong? The ride will be great. Not everyone has the chance to sit on the ride. It’s a once in a lifetime chance this New Year’s Eve."
She answered,
"Erm.. I just don’t wan to sit on this ride."
I asked again,
"Is it because that the cue is long? Don’t worry about that, we’ll still be able to catch the fireworks after the ride. And it’ll be fast. Trust me.
She said,
"No it’s not that. It’s just….."
I said without thinking much,
"Don’t tell me u r afraid, aren’t you? I’ll be by ur side. Don’t be scared."
She said angrily,
"I’m not scared. It’s just that I don’t wan to sit on this ride."
She looks frustated but I continued saying,
"Now don’t be a baby. It’s just a ride. Why would you be so scared?"
She was pissed by then and said,
"Fine, if you love it so much, then why not u ride it urself?"
"Lyndi wait………", I called her as she left. She walked away from me. I couldn’t c a sign of her anymore.
"Fine, I’ll wait in the cue myself." as I said to myself.
It was almost my turn. I could c the ride. I was terrified by the turns it made. I was shaking.
It was my turn, I was the next person to enter. But I stop moving forward. I felt something. Something that kept me from entering. The person behind me ask me whether I was going to enter. I thought for a while.. There was something not there. I decided to back off and walk off from the line.
I was so close to entering the most thrilling ride of the year. I was so close. But I didn’t enter.
I felt something was gone. I felt something was missing. I wasn’t scared of the ride. I wasn’t scared of the turns it made.
A tear came down my eye. I realize I lost something important. It was Lyndi. She left me. No… She didn’t left me. I left her. It was my fault. My stubborness. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have forced her to sit on this ride. Now she had walked away. I didn’t know where she went. I coudln’t contact her. There were many ppl.
Lonely again for new year’s eve? How could this be? I had things planned out so well. I had lost… lost her. Lost something that I would wan to give my life to. How could it be that I’m lonely this year again?
I had to go find her again. I went to search for her. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes to hours. I coudln’t find her. I thought a lot. I know I was wrong. I’m able to repent. Y was I so stupid? How could it be.. Was the ride more important than her? I had planned and work so hard….. For what I had worked for, for what I had planned for? It was for… her.. and only her. How could it be… that I’m lonely again..
It was nearly new year. Every1 was happy, but why was I sad? I could see Children laughing, frens playing with each other, parents enjoying the events happily with their children. But I was alone. It felt so cold. Tears slowly came down my eyes. Sad… a feeling of emptyiness….
I had planned to be with her this very day, of all I had gave was to be with her. But now she wasn’t there. Wasn’t there…. wasn’t by my side.
I sat down at a bench, thinking of her. Thinking of the stupid things I’ve said. Looking down to the ground. Dissapointed.. feeling stupid. Feeling so stupid. So so stupid.
Suddenly a pack of tissue papers was given to me as I looked to the ground. I slowly looked up still feeling sad, I could c a girl’s hand giving me the tissue papers. Light were shining towards me. I looked up and I saw clearly, that it was her. It was Lyndi. I saw her face, it was beautiful, just like an angel. I found her. No I didn’t found her…. she was the one that found me..
She said to me in a soft voice,
"Erm.. I think u might need this."
I was glad. I saw her. I didn’t think I could find her anymore in this busy mall. I took the tissue papers and wipe off the tears in my eyes. It was kind of embarassing but I didn’t mind. She was there. And she was beside me. That made me happy.
She said later,
"Let’s go over there. I found out that we will get a better look at the fireworks standing there."
I agreed and we both started walking to that area.
I said to her while walking,
"Lyndi, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for saying those things just now. I should have been more understanding to you and shouldn’t have forced you to sit on the ride with me. I’m really sorry for that."
She replied back,
"Well it’s ok. I should have went with you to the ride too. But how was the ride anyway?"
I answered nervoulsy,
"Erm.. er.. er….. actually I didn’t manage to go for the ride."
She asked,
"Why was that? Well i know, u’r scared too. That’s why u were crying. Hehe."
I said quickly,
"No I wasn’t crying. There was er… er.. something in my eye. And I definitely wasn’t scared of the ride. I could even ride on the giant drop. Roller coasters aren’t even a match for me."
She asked hastly,
"Then why didn’t you go for the ride?"
I said in a low tone voice feeling kind of awkward,
"I didn’t sit on the ride because.. because…."
