He was looking at Lily "Your voice is so good" a woman complimented him while smiling, Rem smiled "yeah... But for whom are you waiting?" A grandpa asked, Rem laughed then he looked at Lily and smiled
"Isn't he handsome?"
"Yeah he is way too handsome"
"Should I ask for his number?"
Some girls were whispering which could easily be heard by both Lily and Rem's ears "ok so bye I have to go because the person for whom I was waiting has come" he whispered to those people and smiled, those people waved their hands as a bye
Then he went towards Lily "Hey how are you doing?" He asked her, she looked at him with a surprised face "I didn't knew you sang so well" she said with a smile
"You realised today huh?! Let's go" he said and he started to walk "by the way there was something I wanted to ask you" she said to him while joining him
"Ask" he muttered then she stopped walking and he too and she was looking straight into his eyes "I heard that you fought with someone" she confronted him
He laughs a little "Who told you?" He asked her, she looked at him with her gaze "Why?!" She muttered, he was confused "hmm?!.." She looks at him with her eyes which have some regret but care for him
"Why did you fight with someone because of me?!" She asked him, he looked at her and smiled "How can I let someone go who talks bad about you huh?!?" He asked and smiled
She was only looking at him "Let's go!" he said and they both started to walk "You should've ignored what he said" she said to him "Why should I?" He asked and put his hands in his pockets
She takes a sigh "Do you want to eat something?" He asked her, she looked at him "Yeah!..." She replied her face was cute, he smiled "What do you want to eat?" He asked her
"Let's go to a restaurant" she requested of him, he looked at her "ok" he agreed to go to a restaurant and they both exited the park
"By the way when are you planning to come to college?" She asked him while looking towards the ground
He looked at her face "I don't know" he replied and then he started to look at the other side, then she looked at him
"What do you mean?" She looks at him with the innocent face of her "who knows?" He mocked her
"Huh?!!..." She was kinda angry with him, he smiled "In which restaurant do you want to go?" He asked her while looking at her eyes
She started to use her phone while walking next to him "Wherever you want to" she replied to him, he smiled
"I guess it's my line! So... You should decide where you want to go to eat?" He sweetly asked
She was still focused on using her phone she was texting someone and he noticed that "let's go to Shengsul-b restaurant if you want to go wherever I will then let's go there"
"Ok" he replied, his eyes were locked on her, the cute look of her, the short black hair which was blowing because of the cold breeze
The pink woollen sweater suited her cuteness and the watery eyes from where he couldn't take his eyes off
"Whom are you texting?" He asked a sudden question which made her look at him then she looked at her phone then again at his face
Her shocking expression pierced in his heart "I was talking to..." Her voice which was trembling because of the shame of getting ignored
"I actually texted Friren" she said while looking at her phone, she was kinda unhappy but still she smiled
"Hello!" sent at 11.34am. "Did you reach home safely yesterday?" Sent at 11.56am. "How are you?" Sent at 12.06pm. "Where are you?" Sent at 12.23pm. "Sorry for whatever I said to you yesterday at the bar" sent at 12.47pm.
"I'm really embarrassed by whatever I did last night" sent at 1.12pm. "Did you had your lunch?" Sent at 1.34pm. There were many texts which was sent by Lily to Friren
But none of them were seen by Friren "I know it's pathetic to send message after message even after getting ignored but it's ok for me you know" she said while getting embarrassed
And they both were sitting at the restaurant and Rem was holding her phone looking at those messages
They were sitting near the stationery mirror of the restaurant, and the view outside the stationery mirror was beautiful
The sky was becoming dark at the moment the trees were still, there was no movement on them, the road from where people were walking and the vehicles were passing by the road
The noises of the vehicles could be heard from the restaurant, and there were many stores beside the road
"Why are you still looking at those messages huh?! You have been reading all this on the way as well" she said to him while looking down at her thighs
Her eyes were teary because of the embarrassment, Rem looked at her eyes which were teary
At night Rem was in a bar he was wearing the same outfit that he wore in the evening and now he was playing his guitar and the people in the bar were listening to his melodious notes
"I'm wondering~~
How much do you like that person?...
What's so special about that person?!...
Tell me please..."
He was singing slowly and kindly, he was only looking at his guitar and he was thinking about Lily the teary eyes of hers were making him tremble
"Why you keep texting that person?...
Give me a chance at least
Please... Please... At least for once...
I will be... Always be there for you..."
His eyes were filled with tears at that moment his voice which was already sad became even more sadder than before
"I'm gonna be in love with you...
Forever~~
Forever means the day... when my soul disappears~
From this world...
My heart is aching for you..
For you... Only for... You...
Just don't throw me away...
I'm trembling... I'm shaking...
Thinking about you ~~
Why did you do that to me?!...
How did you leave me shaking?...
In this wayyy.... I just can't see you...
Trembling... In this way..."
And suddenly he stopped playing his guitar and he also stopped singing, he was shocked and he was taking deep breaths
There was a pin drop silence in the bar, everyone was shocked because he stopped singing suddenly
"What?!"
"Why?!"
"Why did you stop??"
Rem was only looking down at his guitar, his vision was becoming blurry because his eyes were filled with tears
"Sorry I can't sing anymore today" he said and left the bar with his guitar while not making any eye contact with anyone in the bar
"What was that?"
"Why is he acting so strange nowadays"
There was a girl who had long shiny black hair which almost reached her waist she was sitting silently in the bar while looking at her phone
She was looking at Rem's Instagram account where he has a profile picture of him while holding his guitar and he was wearing a black woodie over a black high-neck and black cargo pants in the lower
'Username- rem__g, Bio- Singer... Followers-14.8k and following- 2' there were only two posts of him a reel where he was singing and a picture of him wearing a half sleeve white shirt buttons were closed and black short pants
Then the girl checks his following list his only followings are Lily and Xian then the girl takes a sigh
Rem who was walking outside the bar his vision was still blurry due to his eyes being filled with tears
Then he started to rub his eyes "Why?!... Are you so in love with that guy? What's so special about him?" He asked himself while rubbing his eyes
"F*ck!... I'm way too frustrated... If you have loved someone who loved you too! Then I would have felt relieved! But you chose that guy to be in love with who literally doesn't care about your existence?" He was frustrated
Then he saw a bench near the road and he sat there silently while watching the stars while remembering something
A MEMORY
"Rem!... Rem!..." A girl who was calling his name, that girl's voice was sweet and gentle but there was some fear, that girl was passing by a shady neighbourhood in the evening "Where are you! Rem?!"
That girl was heavily breathing "don't leave me like that please" The girl started to cry then suddenly a boy came running and hugged her
"Sorry!... I was just pranking with you!" The boy said to her, the girl was still crying "Don't leave me! Rem!" The girl exclaimed while crying
"I won't... So please stop crying Lily" he said and then he started to wipe the tears from her cheeks
"How did I end up falling for you huh?!" At present Rem asked himself while sitting on that bench
Lily who was in her tenant's looking at her phone, she was sitting on the couch, she was texting Friren
Still she didn't get the reply she was waiting for from him "What did I do last night that he is ignoring my messages?" She asked herself while being afraid of not getting in contact with him anymore
Friren who was in his house he looked at the messenger as Lily was sending message after message
He put his phone on the table and he sat on the chair, he was in his room there was a big bed in the middle of the wall in front of him
And on the right side there was the door of the room coloured in white and on the left side there was a window
The curtains were on and there was a wardrobe, the dim lights were making the room look beautiful
A study table near his chair where he is sitting right now where he put his phone just now 'time-8.44pm date-11/11/2024'
There was a bookshelf near the study table as well, and the walls were painted in the colour light blue
"Why is she so annoying?" He asked himself while twisting his neck round "I guess she doesn't remember that she confessed her feelings for me in the bar" he smirked
"Why does she keep sending messages after messages even after getting ignored?" He asked he was kinda annoyed by that
The next morning Lily woke up and she was sad she started to get ready for college then she took her bag and exited her room
Yin was waiting for her outside her tenant "Good morning Yin" she wished him, he smiled "Good morning"
"Do you know Cici is coming today?" He asked her, she was shocked "Oh!... I didn't talk with her yesterday I remember that she texted me at night but I didn't open her chat because I was kinda busy" she hesitantly said
"Oh! Is that so?" He muttered "Let's go" She said "Yeah" Both of them started to walk they exited the building
And then they reached a bus stop "By the way Rem is not coming to college for several days you know" Yin said to her, she looked at him
"Yeah... He totally has no interest in college or in studies" Lily answered then the bus came and they both boarded the bus
After some moments both of them reached their college and they entered the gate and all the students of the college were staring only at Lily
"Hey! She came"
"Who?"
"Hey look she came"
"Isn't she the one who was with Friren at the bar"
"Hey Ayu let's go together"
Some students were minding their own business and some students were only talking about Lily
Lily was kinda embarrassed and sad Yin looks at her "I knew this might could happened" Yin thought and then he takes a sigh
"I'm not even going to be with her all day at college" Yin thought, Lily was only facing towards the ground then suddenly someone passed by her side and it was Friren
She looked up at him, she got shaken by his presence then she again faced towards the ground she was embarrassed and sad her eyes became teary
"Hey!! I thought Friren and Lily were dating"
"Did you see how he ignored her"
"She doesn't have any self-respect"
"Whose gonna save her from the fan girls of Friren today"
"Hahaha!! Serve her right let's go talk with her"
"Where is her protector Rem huh?!"
"He doesn't come to college anyway you know she is cooked today"
Lily and Yin were listening to those people's talks, they both were silent, Lily was sad not because of those people but because of Friren
Then the guy with glasses whom Rem was about to hit yesterday came there "Hey! You b#tch! So you came to college today huh?!" He shouted at her
Lily who didn't know who he is, was shocked and scared but Yin he knew who he is so he came infront of Lily to protect her
The guy started to come towards her "What do you want huh?!" Yin asked him, he smirked "I'm gonna beat her because of her Rem was about to beat me yesterday" he shouted
Everyone were only looking at this chaos some were enjoying and some were minding their own business
"What's happening?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Is he crazy?"
"It's obviously her fault"
"Move aside Yin!!" That guy shouted at Yin "Why? I'm not going to move from here" Yin answered and smirked
Lily was confused and was afraid, Yin was panicking at that moment "What should I do? I'm not good at fighting I guess I should take some hits" he thought
That guy was about to throw a fist at Yin but suddenly someone hold that guy's fist, both the guy and Yin were shocked and other people as well
And the people who were talking bad about Lily got scared, "What do you think you're doing huh?!!" The other guy shouted not knowing who was behind him
Then he looked behind him and he was scared, he started to trembling because it was Rem who holded his fist "what do you think you're doing huh?!!" Rem asked him while being angry
"What?!"
"Why is he here?"
"Oh Damnn... He is cooked"
"Rem..." The guy takes his name his voice was trembling, Rem smirked then he looked at Lily who was scared and her eyes which were filled with tears
Then he went closer to her pushing Yin, Yin looked at him "I guess he knew that she might be in danger because what he did yesterday" Yin thought
"Are you okay?" Rem's angry voice just disappeared his voice became kind and gentle which wanted to comfort her
Lily looked at him "You?! Why are you here?!" She asked, her eyes were filled with tears and fear
He looked at her, his eyes which was angry a moment ago became soft and gentle "I promised you years ago that I won't leave you anymore" he said
