During these times,
Another soul is feeling confused, not sure what position she's in, and what future is ahead of her.
Not sure of what is actually going on in her life anymore.
It's been more than a month since Herald has left Muruem, to go "study abroad".
Her life has lost a big part of what it used to be.
She doesn't deny the fact that it is surrounded arround his presence and love, and does not take any shame in admitting that.
But as it had its goods, it's now taking the best out of her.
Muruem is now living a boring life.
Work, home, work, then home..
Occasionally visiting her parents, who also reminds her of the situation she is in.
"Where is he?
Why haven't he told us?
Look at you, you don't look good Muruem!!
Are you sure of what he's doing??"
All questions that keep getting repeated by them, which Muruem does not find satisfying answers to.
She doesn't even know exactly where he is, and when she asks him about it.
He gives vague answers like.
" A very beautiful place, I'll take you here one day don't worry! "
She's not the type to insist, so she lets it go...
"Atleast he contacts me whenever he got the chance, he's doing this for us and I should appreciate that." She says to herself.
But she's at the end of the day, a woman.
A very womanly woman.
When left to her demons...They have enough power to mess with her mind.
Doubts keep cracking her heart.
She even thought that he found himself another woman abroad!!
At arround 6Pm, of a lively Saturday
The phone rang!
It's her friend Saya.
Muruem picks up. "Hey Saya!"
Saya. "Hey honey.. How are you doing?"
Muruem. "Am alright, just cooking something for me to eat.
What about you?"
Saya. "Nothing, but I'll be going out tonight with some friends."
Muruem. "Oh really! Have fun.
I was thinking to invite you to pass the night here at my house."
Saya. "Oh! You should've said so before!!
I would've definitely come...
But...How about you join us??"
Muruem. "Emmm..Am not sure about wanting to go out.."
Saya. "Come on! You've been locking yourself for a long time now.
Let's go have some fun!
PLEASE PLEASE!"
Muruem thinks for a moment.
"You're right...
Alright I am coming.
Tell me when and where to meet."
Muruem knew she had to get out of her gloominess.
That's why she accepted going out, even with people she doesn't know very well except for Saya.
They'll go on to have dinner outside, the group had 2 other women and 3 other men.
Making them all to be 7.
They seemed pretty nice and fun, nothing too childish or playful.
They all sat and talked about their lives, their problems in work, their daily routines and whatever topic of the moment.
*At 10Pm*
Muruem. "It was a pleasure to meet all of you and have this good time...
But It's getting late, i'll have to go."
Saya. "Oh no where are you going??
We were still planning to go elsewhere!"
Muruem. "Nah honey, I'll have to pass on that."
Saya, looking upset. "Come on!!!"
A man of which were on the table said.
"..Maybe she didn't like us!"
Muruem replies. "No no!! Absolutely not why would you say that?"
"..Or else why won't you pass the rest of the night with us?
We'll get you to your home by the car."
Said Camelia, one of Saya's friends.
Saya. "Yes that's true Muruem, you gonna miss so much fun if you went this early."
Muruem looking confused...
"Euuuh...I don't know!"
"You got nothing to worry about Miss Muruem. We're all trustworthy."
Said a man called Endymeon!
It was said that he was the most handsome young man in the city.
He is now famous for his rising star acting career.
Saya knows him since their childhood, that is why he's with them.
Saya. "Even Endymeon wants you to stay Muruem, you can't turn us all down, can you?"
Muruem became very indecisive.
At last, she just gave up and sat back again in her seat.
"Okey Okey.. Just for you all to know that I actually found you to be good people."
Endymeon. "That is mutual..."
Later on, Endymeon will take them with his Mercedes CLS 3 model 2024, into his Villa.
Where he had already planned a little party tonight past midnight.
The party wasn't that of young teenagers where it's clouded and loud of house music and electro.
Drugs and sexual activity everywhere you look.
No! It was far from that.
The music was very classic, Symphonies of Paganini and Giuseppe Tartini were played smoothly in the background.
Round tables and seats put in the beautiful backyard of the big fascinating House.
And the moonlight gave a special effect to the scene.
They were the first to arrive, as the party was to start at Midnight.
Saya. "As usual Endymeon, you never fail to impress with your classy taste."
Endymeon. "We only strive to get better my dear.
I see that i caught the interest of your friend as well...
She looks fascinated."
Saya. "Oh Muruem! Hahhaah yeah, she hasn't been into places like these very much."
Endymeon gets closer to her and asks.
"...So How did you find the scene so far?"
Muruem gets surprised by his sudden question.
"Oh...
Ah I think this is wonderful, wasn't expecting myself to be in here honestly.
But I love the setting, and how its decorated.
The music also is soothing,"
Endymeon. "All of my choice."
Muruem. "Then I must say you have a good taste."
Endymeon. "Your observation means you have that same good taste as well."
Muruem smiles. "Oh thank you!"
Endymeon. "How about a cup of red wine?
I don't like being alone in that."
Muruem is hesitant to accept the offer.
She hasn't drank alcohol in a very long time.
Mainly because Herald does not drink it and he was the one convincing her to stop doing so.
Muruem. "I don't know about that, It's been so long since i last drank."
Endymeon. "I myself isn't much of a drinker, a cup or two occasionally would not hurt."
Muruem. "Hmmm...Alright, why not?
Not going to lie, I miss its taste Hhhahaaha"
Endymeon smiles. "Alright, there you go."
Endymeon hands her the cup and says.
"Sheers!
To our miserable lives!"
