Capítulo 1: I should be worried about them
"Please, I'm begging you..." He tried holding back his tears as he continued.
"I love you" He declared and knelt down even as his tears kept flowing..
'Lame!' Mia thought as she rolled her eyes looking at the large screen in the cinema, while throwing popcorn into her mouth.
By now, she could already hear the sniffling sounds some people were making at the 'emotional' scene.
Some didn't even pretend like they weren't crying.. and just cried their eyes out while watching the movie.
She looked at the girl sitting directly in front of her. The girl was probably younger than her with about 2 or 3 years, and even though Mia knew girls tend to be so emotional especially at that age, she couldn't bear being angry.
The girl was so engrossed in the movie and kept crying out while the guy next to her tried to make her calm by saying soothing words to her.
Mia felt like strangling her so she could at least finally shut her mouth.
When she could no longer handle it, she tapped the girl and as soon as she turned to look at Mia, she warned her in a angry voice.
"Can you shut up already!?" Since Mia raised her voice, the others around looked at her with disdain but Mia did not mind. It was not the first time she was receiving those kind of looks from people.
The young girl was taken aback and after about thirty seconds of registering that Mia had just shouted at her, she cried even louder.
Mia could feel her head begin to pound. Before she could utter another word, the guy who was sitting close to the girl glared at her angrily before opening his mouth to let her know how uncultured she was.
"What's your problem ma'am? This is a cinema. Why didn't you just sit at home instead of showing everyone how much of a sadist you are?"
"What? Ma'am?" Even though they weren't so loud, they were able to attract the attention of most people in the hall.
"Yes. ma'aaam" He stressed to annoy her even more.
Mia had gone to the cinema with her childhood friend, James and his new girlfriend. She didn't care about giving them privacy and had purposely sat down in the same row with them even when James gave her an hint to go sit at the next row.
When James noticed the commotion, he tried to smoothen the whole thing.
Since he was sitting at the next seat after Mia while his girlfriend was sitting next to him, he was able to pull her back and advise her not to make a scene.
"He called me ma'am, he f*cking called me ma'am, I need to beat out 10years out of his life" She declared angrily.
Mia had the urge to rip the young man apart. Thankfully, the useless couple on screen had already reconciled and the movie ended, so everyone slowly began to disperse.
It was already past 10 in the evening so James had to drop her off since her place was a bit far from the Cinema.
His girlfriend, Anna, was sitting down at the passenger seat. So Mia had stayed behind while the couple chatted the whole time, making her bored.
"Don't make trouble. Be good" He advised as he dropped her off on her street.
But she was still reluctant to step out.
"So this is it? You're going to leave me here by this time of the night? What if I bump into bad guys on my way home?" She asked with a frown.
James chuckled before answering "I should be worried about them instead" He winked at her when he saw the dark glare she gave to him.
"Idiot!" She cussed at him before leaving the car.
"Goodnight" She said to Anna before heading home.
Capítulo 2: How did it end
"I don't like her" Anna suddenly broke the silence in the car even as James' attention remained on the road.
"Huh?" he turned his head slightly to ask before facing the road again.
"You heard me! If you really want this to work between us, I think you know what to do" She turned to face the window nonchalantly.
"What do you mean? Mia is my friend. We've been friends since we were young, I can't just cut her off because you want me to!" He stated without looking at her either.
"And I am your girlfriend! We just started dating a week back. Can't you do this for me?" At this point, she turned her head from the window to look at him. The anger in her eyes was visible. Even her tone increased when she spoke. She took a deep breath and spoke calmly "Choose one. Me or her?"
"Are you crazy?" He asked as he tried to focus on her and on the road.
"Choose one now!!" She screamed. She had never seen someone as uncultured as Mia. And her presence alone annoyed her.
James was startled. He slowly parked by the side of the road. He covered his face with his palm as he took a deep breath. "Get out!" he ordered.
"What?.." Anna was shocked "You don't mean that do....." Before she could finish, he roared again for her to leave. She was so shocked that she gradually got down. Disappointment was written all over her face.
"Don't you love me?" she asked while holding the door of the passenger seat. Tears was already pouring out of her eyes.
"I'll send you a taxi" He said as he stretched to her side to lock the door and drove off...
As soon as Mia got home, she went straight to the kitchen. She knew her mother would be there even by this time of the night. Linda was a local baker and the best in the neighborhood. She was always up trying to organize her things before heading to the bakery in the morning.
When she got to the kitchen, she found her mum there and gave her a back hug.
"Mum" she called gently.
"Move back, you'll get stained with flour" Linda warned.
"I want to get stained" Mia said as she tightened her arms around her.
Linda chuckled before pushing her off.
"Don't be silly child. How was your date?" she asked.
Earlier that day, Mia had lied to her that she was going out on a date because her Linda had tried to matchmake her with her friend's son and so she had lied that she had a boyfriend already who loved her so much. Even while saying it, she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry because she knew that something like that was never going to happen.
Mia finally released her "It was okay. He told me he could not live without me and even cried as he knelt down" She grinned as she narrated the scene from the movie she saw earlier.
"Oh, I see!" Linda smiled as she washed her hands.
"You should go sleep now, it's late. Remember you'll be helping me deliver bread in the morning" Linda smiled as she sent her out of the kitchen.
"Okay, Good night. Don't overwork yourself" Mia said to her while leaving the kitchen. As soon as she got to the door, Linda called "Child'' so Mia turned.
Linda always addressed her as 'Child'. Mia was Linda's second child but she was never her favorite. She couldn't tell why her mother didn't like her but always favored her elder sister instead. Although they had been rich at one point, she grew up without much love from her family, and so she had to depend on herself. But after her father disappeared 8 years ago and they became broke, her elder sister, Mary could not endure living a difficult life, so she disappeared 4 years ago. Since then, she had been with her mother and have gradually received a little love from her. She could tell Linda was trying to force herself and didn't care much but Mia loved the attention still even though she still wished to hear her mum call her 'Mia' one day.
In one part of her mind, she really wished Mary would never come back home.
Mia smiled and looked at Linda, wondering while she was called back.
"I was just wondering,... How did it end?"
Linda grinned and looked at her.
"What are you talking about?" Mia gave her a puzzled look.
"The movie, How did it end? Did she forgive him after he knelt down and cried?" Linda couldn't help laughing as she saw Mia's surprised look.
She's been found out!
