One sunny day in a place where daffodils
are just starting to bloom, a man named Mr. Capricious met a woman named Ms.
Apathy. At first, Ms. Apathy doesn’t care about Mr. Capricious. He wasn’t tall
nor as good looking as it seems but he does have this unexplainable aura that
Ms. Apathy can’t figure. She was baffled as to why this man seems to make her
heart race a million times than ordinary. She can’t comprehend nor process why
his presence seems to pull her heart out like she just ran in a triathlon. Still,
she won’t give in to him easily. She doesn’t care if her stupid heart won’t
stop racing, she cannot be swayed by this stranger in just a blink of an eye.
Mr. Capricious on the other hand,
was persistent. He liked the girl, though he had never felt that way before. This
is the first time in his life that he tries and successfully became persistent
of a single woman. She can’t stop thinking about her. He has fantasies about her
every minute of every day. So, with perseverance and patience he wooed the girl
she met on that faithful day. And at long last, Ms. Apathy gave in to Mr.
Capricious and they became lovers at all sorts.
It didn’t take long for them to be serious with
each other. Ms. Apathy though lacking with care and affection loves Mr.
Capricious with all her heart. She does everything for him in a way that she
has never done before. Just like in Mr. Capricious’ case, he tried his very
best knowing how he becomes bored easily. He wanted to change every bit of
disinterest in his system. That’s how much he loves this woman. They both
change for each other. In result, they were happy and very much in love.
Soon, they were living together. They
construct things for their future. Dreaming and hoping that one day they would
fulfill it. Like sweet lovers under the moonlight they touch each other and
feel each other’s body like it was their own. Ms. Apathy can still feel her heart
racing when he is with her. She loves him just like how much he loves her. Before
long, Mr. Capricious asked Ms. Apathy to be his wife. It was simple and
straight to the point. He liked her so much he ought to put a ring on her. Ms.
Apathy though unsure of things answered yes and soon they were called Mr. and
Mrs. Capricious.
Though people called Ms. Apathy,
Mrs. Capricious she still can’t adapt to it. If one thing, she was born to finish
things. She doesn’t give up easily just like Mr. Capricious. Yet, what can she
do? Her heart races when she’s with him just like the first time that they met.
Sometimes, you just can’t choose who you love. Mr. Capricious as always was
glad that Ms. Apathy is now called under his name. It was pure bliss and
satisfaction to know that he can do this. He can change a person’s name under
his. He feels so amazing that he and Ms. Apathy are now one and the same. Love
really do moves mysteriously.
Yet not
all relationships sails smoothly. Little by little the couple starts to argue
with things. Little things and big things. Things should not have matter and
things that should. Mr. Capricious starts to wane as Ms. Apathy goes back to
having little to no emotion at all. The rope is starting to get thinner and
brittle. The world is evolving little by little just like this two individual.
Mr. Capricious became busy with work until he devoted his efforts and energy into
it leaving Ms. Apathy alone in the dark. Ms. Apathy can feel everything is
starting to change. She barely sees Mr. Capricious and he rarely talks to her
about anything. This is not what she wished for. This is not their future. This
is not what they dreamed together. So, she has to do something to fix it because
even though Mr. Capricious is always disinterested she knows how they love each
other and she knows how much she loves him. She won’t give up easily.
So, with
her held high she went to Mr. Capricious’ office. She was warmly welcomed and
was invited in her husband’s office. She was getting confident because she know
that’s he can fix this and they could start anew again. But when she opened his
door, she saw Mr. Capricious kissing another girl. A younger and more confident
looking woman was in her husband’s arms. Mr. Capricious stopped from what he
was doing and look straight to his wife’s eyes. He saw hurt, anger and
confusion in it. Tears were starting to flow on her face. All he can do was
watch her leave the room with her right hand grasping her chest like pulling
her heart out. He knew the consequences to what he did. He knew very well how she
hurt his wife’s heart but he can’t do anything but to take full responsibility for
his actions. And while staring at the ajar door he realized that this is the
end of it. There is not turning back now.
Ms.
Apathy after running out of the building hailed a cab and went straight to her
house—their house. She promised to fix things but she realized that must be too
late for that. There is no retribution to this she knows it but still the ache
in her hear won’t subside and even though she was aching she still beats for
his traitorous husband. This is it she thought. This is the end of us. And though
she can’t comprehend it she knew that they both exhaust the love that they felt
for each other. So upon arriving to the house, she packed her things, went out and never look back.
This isn’t
how it should end but they were very reckless from the start. She has her
doubts and he has his short interest. Somewhere between meeting each other and
loving one another that thought had crossed their minds. Yet they were
stubborn. They knew the odds and they still pushed through. What can they do,
Apathy is still apathy even though she bleeds for someone while capricious is
still capricious even though he liked her once. She still won’t have feelings
and she still won’t care as well as he will be interested until he runs out of interest.
They both can’t change who they are even if they try. Even if they want. Even if
it is for love.
