" The universe: An untold love story? " Joy asked, confusion all over his face.
" Yeah, what I mean is... This is true. Have you ever noticed the sun carefully? The Sun... It is always burning for someone. It's like he is hiding all his pain by shining very bright. But still... There is still someone seems he is actually burning for. Maybe jealously? We don't know. But it still managed to hide it, "I said with a very deep sigh.
"Wow, seriously ?" he said while chuckling in disbelief. I looked at him seriously.
" Hey, I am serious here. All the planets... They revolve around the sun, as if they really want to get closer, but the truth is... Is that they all still have their own way or path to go," I said.
That was when my voice was trembling because of thinking about all the sorts of things I went through.
"The whole solar system is wandering in the universe, maybe to find someone. Do you know that none of the solar system has its love story completed?" I said while laughing.
"What I mean is that... Even the asteroid belt looks like it stays together with its friends and loved ones, but just a few couple of meteoroids are more than enough to make them fall apart!" I said, and noticed his seriousness of excitement.
" Wow, I mean really? This is awesome! Tell me more, continue please. I want to hear what happened. You clearly know more and better than me already. "
" So, the moral is... Just like your favorite Pluto, you might be thrown out of someone's life without doing anything. But that doesn't mean that you should give up already and you are weird. There are still some people who keep you in their life and heart safe. Just like the star sun, if you are in pain, and you are burning out of jealousy or something, never show it to the wrong people and let them know about it. Always shine bright, no matter what happens, how painful it was and how painful it will be. Just always try to forget it, not to burry it. Just like the planets, don't just show them that you are with them, but really stay by the side of them in reality. Be with them in real life. But, always be your path. Never forget your way or path. Just like the solar system, always keep exploring and moving around your surroundings, but never forget your home and your family because they are the most important to most of us. Just like an Asteroid belt, always stay together and work with your family, friends and loved ones. Focus on all your friendships and your, not on the status or economic background like those people. But never separate focus from your loved ones. No one should be able to keep you away from your loved ones... So, that's it, end of the love story... The universe: An untold love story! " I said, with a dep sigh.
He laughed a bit. I don't know if it was just to ease any tension, but from the way he was laughing, it seemed like he was making the most of his time. His laugh sounded like he was teasing me. I don't know the reason for his laugh, but I forced a laugh so that it wouldn't make him awkward.
"Hehehe... Sorry, but I just couldn't control myself. How did you even think like that? It's too impossible!" he said, still chuckling.
His laugh made my eyebrows furrow deeply. I was getting annoyed by all his laughing. If I got more impatient, I might just break these prison bars, break all his teeth and make them eat. Shhh, Aza, calm down. Even if you are too annoyed right now. Joy seemed to be noticing my expression and eyes, filled with rage, so he just his mouth to shut up all his laughs.
Do I really look that arrogant that even soldiers feel scared of my expressions?
"Ahem... I beg your pardon. It wasn't appropriate for me to laugh without any reason... So if you don't mind, could you please... Please change your expressions? They are quite dangerous with all the rage in your eyes! You are a Dracoumis after all. Your rage must be very intense... This story was very good and amazing, with an amazing person's way of perspective. I also guess that this amazing person's name is Azalea Dracoumis, if I am not misunderstood... And I also want to thank you for encouraging me. So, this is your reward..." Joy said.
Joy brought his hand forward to me through the bars. This was an aluminum container for my dinner. It looks awful. I don't want to eat and have my dinner in this container. It even has too much. I have been given two chapatis [Indian bread that is used to be eaten with the vegetable curry], a vegetable curry made from Spanich, some rice and dal[ a curry made from lentils]. I really don't want to eat in this container and I mostly even eat less than this meal. I don't think I can really eat this much and fight, if needed to. But just to show and stop this kid from asking and annoying me, making me lose my angry temper, I will just eat it. I hope I don't have anything at this dinner for me. Any kind of poison, pill of losing my strength or any kind of hurtful pill. Or worse, what if they put Morvapop stone in it?
The stone that fell from the cursed volcanic eruption which caused the Kingdom Royot to get buried into that lava and made a plateau. Whomever breaths it in disgrace, eats it or any inappropriate thing done by the user of this stone to himself, the stone burns them alive and turns them into lava. It is also the only stone which is capable of fighting with the user of the Piredle stone. The fighting eruption in the future between the two users of the Piredle stone and Morvapop stone will definitely cause the world to end and turn into ash - lava. Among all the good stones, only Piredle stone is known. And also, among all the dangerous stones, only Morvapop stone is known. All the heroes, spies, agents, villains and the other gangs are after it.
Back to the topic now!
"Oye Joy, I won't be able to eat this much. This is too much for me. I might throw out as well, and you want me to finish this whole thing?" I bombarded him because of my irritation, and saw his brows furrow deeply.
"You can not fool me, Aza. I don't really believe you. I saw earlier. Take more food to eat if you want. Ask me personally if you are too shy. But please, just don't lie to me," Joy said with a teasing smile on his face.
"Huh? What did you really see that you were blaming me, saying that I am lying to you?" I asked with an irritation in my voice.
"Huh? You really don't know? You are not lying to me? Really?" He asked me, equally irritated just like me.
I shook my head like a big nooooo. I really have no idea what he is talking about. I only know that he is really blaming me in real now. I shook my head three times in a row when no response came from him. He is testing my patience. I might lose my temper and punch him out of my frustration and irritation.
"Ohh? So just tell me, who was there clinging to that window and doing pull - ups? Answer me. You were even showing off your muscles. It was like, your top could be torn apart at any time because of all your muscles," Joy said, taking a deep breath as if he was too tired from speaking so fast.
" Hey hey hey! How can I answer you if you ask me too fast and won't let me speak at all? Not even a single word. Are you a fire - breathing dragon? Acting all older! " I scolded him.
It seemed like he was a younger brother of mine, who always looked like a fire - breathing dragon. Wait a second, why am I comparing him with a fire - breathing dragon, who is always being compared with me? Something seems suspicious to me. Something is definitely wrong. He seemed to come to his senses. He took a few deep breaths, definitely trying to control his frustration and irritating anger, clearly trying to stop the argument to escalate the argument to a fist - fight.
"Hehehe, I beg your pardon. I shouldn't have gotten all irritated and angry, speaking with you like that... Hehehe," Joy said, followed by an awkward laugh.
I think that he is feeling a bit embarrassed, maybe? I don't know! I really thought that he was younger than me. The way he was speaking, it was too arrogant and something else... Not explained in words but definitely something similar. Maybe, similar to me. I quickly forced myself to force a smile so that he wouldn't feel awkward, but no worries because it quickly turned into a grimace.
" Ahhh! So you really know that it was your fault? Wow! I mean really, I thought you would burst out in your anger and explode like any kind of bomb. Even a nuclear one. BOOM! Even if you are younger than me by 8 years, you are talking like we are of the same age... Look kiddo, if I am in prison, it doesn't give you any right to talk with me in that way. I might lose my temper and punch you out of my rage. You might be hospitalized. So, be careful while talking with me," I said. I tried my best to stay calm while speaking, but the death threat was evident in my voice, and was written all over my face.
" You sound deadlier than them. Probably the deadliest in the whole family tree. Even the elderly will get scared of your death threats. You have the most commanding and the deadliest aura of most of us." He murmured, but I heard it already.
I chose to ignore it and started eating. The taste is still the same as before. If anything that should be changed is the container and the place. Then the dinner would be better in the woods with a cloudy climate. But how did Iris become a prince? His last name was Tavde, and now his last name is Kreosa. But whatever it is, Iris definitely has a good choice.
"Even me! I am Iris' choice, but what was the result? His names must be Tharki Romeo and Jhootha Ashiq as well ! All good for acting like a lover, wanting to betray and over. An example of a stupid idiot," I said absent - mindedly.
[ Here, Tharki romeo means a shameless, fake lover and acts all good, romantic and like a romeo but a shameless one. Jhootha Ashiq means liar lover, betrays the people he loves. ]
"What? Tharki Romeo and Jhootha ashiq? Stupid - idiot as well!" Joy exclaimed.
Shoot! I was thinking. I wasn't supposed to say anything about him. I shouldn't have thought about him, that stupid idiot. My eyes widened, but I immediately made them normal. My mouth fell open. I tried to speak but no words came out, nothing at all. I immediately recalled all my buried past and all my hatred of love. The past is the past, the future is the future and the present is the present, where I am right now. I don't want to remember all our love and sweet talks, just to remember it was all fake like plastic and betrayed. I want to beat them using Piredle stone. I will definitely be the first one to beat anyone with the Piredle stone. I didn't want to think about an excuse, so I just shook my head not to escalate things. But he didn't seem to buy anything. Think Aza, think! Yeah, turn the tables or change the topic.
" Eh? Nothing... Here take this container. I have already finished my dinner now. Just take this container away from me already. I will do some more pull - ups now and then, I will sleep. Just go already, okay? " I said, trying to change the topic and it worked.
He really forgot what we were talking about, or I murmured absent- mindedly, but he heard, to be exact or more accurate. I am really grateful that he dropped the topic, let it go or whatever it was. I am just happy that he is not questioning me about that. Everything changed after what Iris' father, Mr. Tavade told me. I am still very curious about why Iris Tavade became Iris Kreosa. I know I can search for him on my super yoyo with very high technology, but still... I don't want to search. After all, now I don't care about him anymore. I just want to move ahead, which I have already done for years. Now, I don't even think about it anymore.
Really Aza? Then why are you still thinking about him and caring enough to think not about him but about him?
I immediately shook my head as another part of my brain started to question me again. I stood up from the place where I was sitting and continued with my plan to do. I am going to do some pull- ups and then go to sleep. I can't sit still here, in this place. I was still walking towards the bars when Joy suddenly called me. I turned to face him and he flinched a bit. Maybe because of the irritation or my expressions, which were clearly due to my thoughts about Iris.
Tsk...!
"Hey, overthinking again? I mean, I was calling your name many times, and you looked back just now! Whatever it was, eat more, please. At least a bit. Then you can continue with your plan of going to hang on that little window and doing pull- ups,"Joy said.
" Hey, nah bro! I really don't want to eat it because I am really not used to eating this much! Listen to me or else, I might even end up throwing on you after eating all this. Yeah, I admit that I can do pull- ups and I even have muscles which seem to tear up the sleeves of this suit of mine. But it's because I am too used to eating less. It took a lot of time to build my muscles, so I had to diet. Keep that with you, Okay? " I asked, and he nodded even though the hesitation of his was clear to me.
" Alright Aza, but please, at least don't do pull - ups right after having your meal. You might throw upon this prison for real then!," Joy exclaimed.
"Oye Joy, I really can't. I am always doing some work, and I am really not used to sitting still. I might throw up if I sat still for real. After all, I don't think that you can ever understand the feeling of a fighter who has been locked up here in a prison and making her sit still. It's like a bird who is allowed to fly in the open blue sky, but its legs are locked up in a cage!," I said.
"Oye, I understand okay? After all, I am the only one who gives food to the people who are locked up here, in a cage." He said and chuckled, so did I.
"Okay. Now I am going to the bars to do the pull - ups. Don't stop me okay? Good night," I said, and actually went to those bars because I really don't have anything to do right now.
Building muscles is way too better than sitting and doing nothing, which is the cause of my frustration, irritation, anger and the pain of all my regrets. I still wonder what happened to that guy who is a moribund patient right now. He is in the, what they call it? Maybe ICU. Poor boy, who was sent to the ICU, and he is a moribund patient right now, all because of my kicks and punches. Am I really that cruel? That is also the reason why I want to check on the Seal - seven. What if something bad had happened to them due to all my punches and kicks? I shook my head with my thoughts. This is another case of a person who ended up in the hospital. Not because of their small bruises or cuts caused by my fighting, but because of their major and worse condition. They need oxygen, their right hand is fractured, and they are a moribund patient, all because of my punches and kicks. But they all really provoked me.
"Oye sis, thank you and good night. Have good dreams, not any nightmares. Good night and SKRD," Joy said.
"Eh? Good night, but what do you say? What do you mean by SKRD?" I asked.
"Oh. You don't know? I mean my question was stupid. SKRD means sweet kisses and romantic dreams," Joy said, and I gave him a happy and genuine smile.
"Alright. Good night, sweet dreams and SKRD," I said and chuckled a bit.
