#119 Finding the right one
Joshua is the most perfect boyfriend, you thought so? He was a gentleman, was kind, sweet, understanding and reliable.
"My neighbor keeps on throwing garbage on my balcony," you complained while walking in the street with your boyfriend.
Joshua is holding your hand, smiling widely as he listens to your complaint. "What is your neighbor's name?"
"John," you shared.
He nodded, "Ahhh."
He was always like this, lending his ears to hear your complaints. It feels bad to be a girlfriend who loves to nag, right?
"Hey, Joshua."
"Hmmm?"
"I'm sorry. Whenever we meet, I always say my problem."
He chuckled. "It's okay. I love hearing your problems?"
"Seriously? Who loves to hear problems 24/7?" you laughed, unbelieving his words.
"How can I explain this? Hmm, it feels like you are telling me to pursue my dream."
You stopped walking and faced him, and so he did also. "What dream?"
"To make the world a better place."
To make the world a better place- a rare answer you can only hear in every beauty pageant.
No one can heal this wicked world, everyone knows that. So how did you help him pursue his dream?
"Stop bugging me! Will you?!" you shouted at a man who is holding your wrist.
Joshua saw you and him from afar, then rushed towards. "Let go of her hand!" he yelled, yanking that man's hand.
"Who are you?!" the man is furious.
"I am her boyfriend," Joshua introduced. "Hey, who is this guy?"
"My ex boyfriend," you said.
Joshua smirked, "Ahhh, that guy who cheated on you? Huh." Joshua met his gaze. "What is your name again?"
"Kitter," your ex-boyfriend introduced.
"So your name is Kitter. I always asked your name to my girlfriend be she insisted not to tell a single word," Joshua shared.
"Just go away Kitter. As you can see, I have a boyfriend now. Get lost," you said, holding your boyfriend's hand tight.
"Huh, you think I'll give up? Over my dead body," Kitter said and he walked out.
"Hey, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Joshua asked, checking every part of your body; from head to toe.
"I-Im okay. A little bit surprised, hehe," you responded.
Joshua hugged you, "Don't worry. He won't bother you anymore. I'll promise."
Sweet, kind, gentle, handsome and protective. Joshua got them all! Aren't you lucky?
"Shua," you called him while laying on the grass and looking upon the stars.
"Yes?"
"If you have another wish, besides making the world a better place, what is it?"
"Hmmmm," Joshua hummed. "Ah, I have one."
"What is it?
He looked at you then reached your chin with his finger. He pecked on your lips before answering, "To die with you. Let's die together."
"Huh, seriously. That is so cliche and so cheesy," you complained.
"I am not joking though," he laughed.
He might be the perfect guy. Yes he might. But after two months, you guys broke up.
"Why are you breaking up with me?" he asked while he is on his knees.
"I don't know," you answered. "Maybe because you are too kind that I got bored."
"Huh. So, do you want to date a bad guy?" He stood up. Then he turned his back and walked out.
Week had passed.
"Hi (y/n)! Long time no see!" Maria greeted when she bumped on you at the market. She was your neighbor 4 months ago.
"Maria! So happy to meet you again!" you hugged her.
"How's your new apartment?" she asked.
"So-so. How about Mr.John? Does he still throws garbage around the area?"
Mariah gasped. "You didn't know?"
"About what?"
"Mr. John is dead."
Your eyes widened. "Huh?!"
"Yeah. After you move out, Mr.John was found hanging himself inside their bathroom. Everyone was so shocked. Who will thought that a grumpy man like him will end his life?"
Mr. John did horrible things to you as your old neighbor but still, it is sad to heard this kind of news. The next day, you attended your high school reunion.
"So (y/n), how's your love life?" Mickey, asked. "You went to Paris for a vacation so we couldn't contact you."
"Well, I am single and happy," you laughed.
"If Kitter is still alive, he'll be happy to hear that," Brune shared with a sad face.
Confused by her statement, you asked, "If Kitter is alive? What do you mean?"
All of your classmates looked at you. "You didn't know?" Mickey responded. "Kitter got in a car accident 3 months ago before you go to Paris. He died."
Why do you keep on hearing the same news nowadays?
The full moon is brightening up the sky. You took a deep breath before looking at those stars above. The dawn ended, and there are no one around but only you in the middle of the street. "It's cold. I should go in," you murmured. Then you go inside your apartment.
You aren't drunk. You are sure of that. But something is odd. Your apartment door isn't lock!
The lights are still off, and so when you turned to observe around your apartment, you couldn't see anything at all.
With your icy cold hand, you reach out the switch and opened the light. No one is inside. Thank goodness.
"Maybe I forgot to lock my door. Such an idiot, huh," you chuckled and walk towards your room. When you open the door...
"Welcome home," a man sitting in your bed, greeted.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" you yelled in surprised as you fell down on the ground.
The man showed you his familiar smile. "I miss you," he sweetly said. It is him... Joshua.
"W-What are you doing here?! H-How did you open the door?"
Joshua didn't respond, instead, he just smiles.
"Go out. Go out, will you!" you begged.
His smiles faded away. "You... can't break up with me."
"W-What are you talking about? We already broke up!"
HE stood up, making you crawled backward. Just a one step forward towards you, and your heart pounding inside your chest. You want to scream but no voice is coming out.
"You said, you are breaking up with me because I was too kind," he said while forwarding. "But you are wrong." Then he threw something on the ground: a white bracelet and green framed reading glass. You knew who are the owners of those: bracelet of Kitter and Mr.John's reading glass.
"W-Why do you have these?" you chuckled.
"I killed them. They bothered you, right? So I' killed them," he proudly answered.
Adrenaline rushes, as if it is stopping your lungs to breathe. Unable to move, you murmured, "Impossible. The J-Joshua that I know won't do this."
And so, he laughed. "The Joshua you know? Wait, do you remember my dream? I said, hearing your problems will help me to pursue my dream: to make the world a better place." He got a knife from his pocket and kneeled down, meeting your gaze. "How can I make the world a better place? It is easy. I should erase every bad guys around."
"Then why don't you kill yourself?" you said, tears falling down from your eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk. I won't let myself die alone," He shook his head. "Why? Cause I have another dream. Did you remember it? My dream is to die with you. Let's die together. Are you ready? One... two... three!"
Before he swings the knife, your eyes glanced upon the clock above.
Did you see the clock?
What time is it?

Every relationship has this one rule: "It is not about finding a perfect guy, instead, find out who he really is."
