Chapter 2: ENDLESS NIGHTS LIKE THIS
Song recommendation: Malibu Nights by Lany - Listen at the middle to the last part of the chapter ;)
At Present Time:
"Oh come on! Don't be like that to me Harry!"
Protesting to the bar tender as she was seating on a stool while her half body was bent over the island bar counter,
"That's enough for tonight, you already had too much drinks" Harry said while accommodating other customers and giving their ordered drinks at the bar counter.
"What?! I still have money to pay for it! So give me one more glass of cognac" Emy said as she is already searching her pockets to pay for another round.
While Harry stands in front of her as he took his phone and dialed a friend's number, he then speak "hey Ada! You busy?"
And a woman's voice answered on the other line "not yet handsome! But if you're going to ask me out maybe you could make me busy" and she laugh after teasing Harry.
"Nice one Ada! But before that maybe you could help me out here first? Hmmm..You know the usual night for Emy" harry said on the phone while scratching the back of his head as she looks at Emy who is sitting in front of him, her elbows placed on top of the counter as both of her arms are raised up to support her head from landing on the surface of it.
"Oh man! I totally forgot about Emy! Sorry…Be right there asap" and with that they both hang up,
Ada hurriedly rides and speeds up her Lexus LC 500 to the Psycho Suzi's bar.
The place is a combination of a cool and classy hot spot at the city where Harry works as a well-known and highly-paid bartender due to his talent and skills. Ever since Harry started to work there, it has been their hangout place, but then due to unexpected circumstances that happened ten months ago with Emy, things have changed drastically.
The three of them were the best of friends since their senior high days, although they graduated in college with different majors, they still managed to communicate and hangout back then since they are from the same university.
Harry Farell, 6 feet tall with handsome boy next door look, graduated with major in management, but he loves bartending more so he pursued this with different trainings abroad, he joined and won different bartending competitions across different countries that made him one of the best and well-known bartenders, adding up to his charming look and his remarkable height, it's no doubt that he quite earned popularity on his name in the field.
Ada Fabian 5 feet tall, with flawlessly fair skin, sexy body curve and long beach curly hair that she loves to color and style, she is really one hot chic that graduated with major in fashion designing; she is really good with her works, adding up her prominent family background, her designs are widely known even to famous celebrities.
While Emylia Greyson or Emy, also 5 feet tall with porcelain toned skin, good body figure and long straight brown hair, graduated with flying colors major in journalism. She was once a magazine features editor at a known fashion magazine, she is also excellent in writing and she once dreamed to be a well-known novel writer. But with all of her skills, she stand out the most with her remarkable singing voice and this is her first love, but she had a very little exposure when it comes to showcasing her talent in singing as she did not pursue this due to having stage fright. So Emy just took her talent very lightly, just occasionally sings but all who truly knew her knows she can be more.
Ada finally came at Psycho Suzi's Bar, she saw Harry waving his hand to her then she went straight to where Emy is seating. "Emy.. Let's go home dear" Ada said in a calm but worried tone. Emy lift her head up to see Ada standing at her side, although her sight is a bit blurry now because of the effect of alcohol, she smiled and immediately stretched her hands to hug Ada.
"Finally you're here! Come sit beside me, drinks are on me" Emy said, feeling a bit lightheaded as a wave of dizziness starts to assail her.
Ada looked at harry who is showing hand signal, indicating to make Emy stop drinking, and so Ada gently pulled Emy to her arms as she says "I'm not in the mood tonight dear, maybe you can go with me, you know our usual coffee spot at the park"
And with that both of the girls said goodbye to Harry, Ada wraps her arm around Emy's waist to keep her steady as they walk their way out of the bar.
Like Ada had mentioned, they drove to their usual spot at the park, sitting on the usual bench with cup of coffee on their hands that they bought at drive-thru starbucks, while staring at the starry night sky.
"Emy.." Ada wants to say something but just stopped instantly before she could even say a word and then she sighed.
"Again..I'm sorry Ada" Emy spoke instead, They both took a sip of their coffee while looking up at the starry sky.
"You know that I always got your back, right? But Emy.." this time Ada looks at her friend seating beside her as she continue to speak "I'm starting to get worried..It has been ten months since the accident happened but it seems that the more the day passes by the more you suffer and I..I just wish that I could do something to lessen the pain".
Emy look back to Ada with her teary eyes and say "you have done so much..Without you and harry I might be losing my sanity now. I'm sorry..But honestly I'm tired Ada. I'm really tired of trying to let this feeling go..But still it seems like I just can't escape from endless nights like this.." Her voice trailed off as she can't control the tears from streaming down to her cheeks.
"I know.." Ada can't hold back her tears as well on seeing her best friend crying her heart out.
Ada drove Emy back home, after saying their goodbyes, Emy watch Ada's car leave until it disappears from her sight.
She walks slowly going through the front door and straight to the staircase up to her bedroom, she did not bother to turn on the lights as she let the moonlight passes through the open curtain of her window, staring at the moon that glows brightly with the night sky, she sits at the edge of her bed. The feeling of loneliness and emptiness emerge again as the room is in deafening silence.
There was this deep pain in her chest that she couldn't seem to ignore even if she drinks herself to sleep, it makes her tears stream down uncontrollably on her cheeks.
She lie down on her bed in a fetal position as she was feeling so tired and weak, her body slightly shivers feeling the coldness of the room while sobbing. Being alone as the night gets deep, she did not remember how she slept and her mind started to drift away.
"I love you" Emy said to a man driving the car and he answered back "I love you my wife" as they look at each other for a second…
BANG!
A loud sound of a crash was heard at the intersection road. And when Emy opened her eyes, with a blurred vision looking at the direction of the unconscious man seating on the driver's seat, she saw his bloody face bent over the steering wheel, and as she look through the car window she had just realized that a van collided to their car, the van hit the side of the driver's seat.
Feeling the pain all over her body, she was unable to move but she tried really hard to somehow raise her arm even for a bit high, just enough to touch the man's face.
With a hoarse voice she says "love…Wake up…wake up" but no hint of any movement came from the man that made her start to panic as tears stream down her eyes, her body is trembling in fear seeing her husband's fatal state, and then she heard the siren of an ambulance coming near them as the sound gets clearer, but then within a second, everything went black.
Emy woke up full of sweat on her forehead, her pillow was also wet due to the mixture of her sweat and tears, she sat on the bed leaning at the headboard realizing that she was dreaming again.
She look at the clock on top of her side table, seeing that it's just six in the morning, she closed her eyes as she tries to calm herself while she sat there hugging both of her knees.
She couldn't stop remembering that moment, that very moment that had caused to drastically change her whole life, it's just like in one snap of fingers and the man he was once married at the altar, was now gone forever, leaving her stuck with that tragic memory.
