He still lie awake on his bed with his eyes closed, thinking about the questions which had left unanswered. "You know this is true," the voice of his trusted friend keep playing in his mind. Actually, deep down inside, he had already got the answers long ago. He ignored it, and by letting feelings took over, he lied to himself, comforting himself, and creating baseless hopes for the possibility he desired.
After being a positive-thinking person for so long, his optimism finally backfired him. Helplessness got into him, because... things had gone out from his expectation. He is struggling within him, between his heart and his mind, between feelings and logics, debating on the reality of his situation. He knows, that the latter is speaking the truth.
He wants to cry so badly, but no matter how hard he tried, he can't. He had forgotten how to let his tears roll down from his eyes... All he can do, is trying hard to clear everything from his mind, and ignore this issue again.
"It must be the beer that cause me this negativity... There are things which is more important than this..." he kept reminding himself this sentence, lied to himself, blamed on alcohol and avoid the truth, again...

"Unanswered Friday Night," i got this title suddenly. The sentence, "Malam Jumaat" came into my mind while writing. "Malam Jumaat" means Friday Night in Malay. Maybe, i read a lot of Malay no-head no-tail short stories, and when i write short stories, i will try to write it, in Malay style. Friday Night doesn't sound nice to me. So, because this story is about thinking the unanswered questions, and in the end, the main character still can't accept the answers presented to him... I named it Unanswered Friday Night."
I used to write a lot of short stories while in secondary school, but i had forgotten a lot of writing styles and vocabulary after i stopped for 3 years. I decided to write again. So, this is my first attempt :) and i hope i could complete a novel in future.
I will write more when i am in mood. More will come again :D
From the author, Just Simple.
i like the title..
ReplyDeleteu like to write story about yourself..
so.. u apa problem again? -.-o
=.=
ReplyDeleteDon't say me till like a problematic person. I just like dramatic stories.
Wow, you have a new template. Looks more organized for me. Sorry, it's been a long time that I haven't visited your blog. I could also see that you've grown overly romantic (whats with the "dying inside" photo in ur left sidebar) these days.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, you write good short literary pieces. I'm also writing before. Only, it's fantasy. I never had the passion to delve in life's drama. I only want things to be taken light-heartedly. How about writing a series, a short story a day perhaps. Then when you reach the conclusion of the story turn everything into a pdf file and make it a free downloadable in your blog. That would be cool.
Still have no girlfriend? How about reading my new post.
"Dying inside to hold you" is a famous oldies played in club. There's a connection with my current love chapter of course.
ReplyDeleteI had been thinking of writing a chapter everyday, but it's not easy coz i need time to brush up my skills and vocabulary. Hang on~ Coming soon :D
