Diah stared at the hueish sky of yellow and orange , a beautiful declaration of the sun rising , her hands crossed and she was dressed in a black night gown, her eyes were distant , peering into life beyond it's existence , nothing much was going on in the first place , then....a soft knock echoed through without waiting for an answer the door was opened and Diah could easily tell that it was Daniel.
The doors shut behind him, that sweet fragrance of coconut oil wafted through , compared to him who smelled rather damp, he took a step close, rather careful and a little hesitant , " you...you won't even ask where I was.....?", " where ever you were , you were probably doing something useful....", she turned her head to him, her tone cool, non challant , her eyes precisely scrolled through him from head to toe , it was slow, deliberate , then a small smile etched at the corners of her lips , " weren't you?", Daniel looked away , as slow sigh escaped his lips , he knew she would be disappointed but....", " I met Rhea...",Diah face fell returning to it's expressionless self, her nails digging deep into her skin, " how boring....", she muttered in disgust, Daniel took a small step towards her, it was hesitant but at the same time he was bold, " I tried to kill her....", he blurted out, despite there being silence , it felt more eerie, Diah stopped digging into her skin, small scratches evident on her arm , she fully turned to Daniel , her curls sweeping through her back and her gown following the light direction of the early morning wind, despite the glimmer of an orange he that resonated deeply with her beauty, something unsettling , dark, something he couldn't comprehend and an expression he had never seen.
" But...you didn't ", she was calm , her tone soft but something reflected through, he found himself biting his lower lip and his heart was thumping unusually fast , what was this?, what was he feeling, nervousness?, fear?, he couldn't just tell, he didn't know anymore, " I....I'm sorry....", he whispered , that is all he could say , that was all he could do , he didn't want to see that look of disappointment on his face , " ha...", that laugh , short, loud and sharp , like a ridicule , he slowly looked up and saw her.....she wasangry, as quickly as that smile had come was how quick it had vanished , " fine then.....", she said as she stylishly tucked some of her hair to the back of her ear, the air thickened and the tension between them felt like a rooe tightening on one's neck, with that ice stare and that emotionless face, she said it as loud as he could hear, " I don't need you anymore.....", it was cold, brutal and to Daniel it was like a stab to the heart, he couldn't process what she had just said right now, what was she saying?, why did she say that?, what was this feeling, his heart was aching so bad.
He was dazed, still thinking, wondering what he just happened . When he heard her delicate steps against the cold tile , he watched her, she didn't look his way , it was aa if all along he had been nothing to her , something insignificant who only did her bidding, what was he to her?, before he knew it he grabbed her arm stopping her instantly, they both didn't move ...his hand slightly trembling against her arm, her skin was soft and cold underneath his arm, " why...why are you abandoning me.....?", his voice quivering , he wanted her to answer that question , she should give him something, anything he could hold on to , to go by with , " am I useless now....is that why you are tossing me aside....?", his tone was calm and careful like he wanted her close, not to stray away , " you are a coward....", she said as as she coldly removed his hand from her arm, her tone flat, unforgiving, she fully turned to him , " I don't need a cowrd to get what I want.....", she took a step closer to him, her eyes moving to his chest, she smirked before placing her hand on his chest , " you have a weak heart.....that wouldn't get me anywhere".
Daniel quickly held her hand with both his hands , desperation, frustration evident in his eyes and actione, his hands trembling against hers, " Diah....I can do better...I will be good to you....I....I was not in my right.....", Diah pulled away, her eyes riddled with that of disgust, " everyone is given three chances but I only give one and you carelessly just wasted it.....you will only pull me down ", it was harshness Daniel could feel his eart shattering , in trembling gasp of disbelief he bowed his head, his fist clenched and his head was spiralling out of control, " you really want to climb to the top without me?.....", Diah tilted her head to the side , " of course and I am already getting there....so dont ruin it for me", she said as she smiled , that smile that had once captured his heart and was still doing so, it was cruel.
She turned back..., " if you are done you can leave or stay for breakfast, you can take it as a .....", " noone will be on our side .....", his voice choked , his breath raspyand his eyes glassy with unshed tears , the stillness, the suffocating air, Diah just stood still, Daniel took a step, " you will be miserable for the rest of your life , you will have no one to love and no one to live you back....., for every fall, for every tear you shed no one will be there for you, for abandoning me you have committed a sin so you will die a lonely death and even your pathway to judgement will be lonely and when you get damaged to hell...no matter who you call out to no one will come", every curse , what was it built on?, every breath he took to utter those curses..., he panted slightly before...he dropped to his knees then he scoffed , " but all through that I will be there, not as a witness but as your companion...., I am tied to your miserable fate and destined to be with you till we both get dragged to hell , my only refuge and consolation.....", he looked up at Diah whose back was still turned against him , " is to stay by your side...".
" What difference will it make.....everyday of my life is hell, so if I am put in the real thing....will it be a big deal?...", she turned at looked at Daniel who was still on his knees , a smile stretched across her face , it was unsettling, " my life had always been hell, before I can go to the real thing won't it be right to make myself happy huh.....shouldn't I be selfish?".
Daniel clenched his fist , " it's time I go solo...", " so...you never loved me?,I was just a slave to you....", he looked defeated, Duah scoffed , " of course I did but...my kind of love is different from yours...", she slowly walked up to Daniel , him kneeling before her, to Diah he was nothing but a desperate puppy, she stretched out her hand and buried her fingers through his soft waves before crouching down to his level, her gaze meeting his, " do you want to know the difference between me and you when it comes to love?...", she asked with that same smile before embracing him, wrapping her hands around his torso and ger head lazily resting on his chest , " Daniel....when it comes to love , I don't beg for it , but you.....you are desperate for it , that is what makes you weak , so.....if you truly love me Daniel , you should understand me", the devil's charm, an angel with a devil's charm , her kind words , as sweet as honey but as prickly as nails.
Those trapped tears finally fell, a neat streak on his face trailing down to his chin, the golden lights streamed from the window and Daniel slowly turned to it, the golden glaze was beautiful. " I didn't ask you to fo any of it.....you did it all by yourself, you are the only one that understands me....", she buried her face more to his chest , " you are the only one that should understand me". If there was anything above the heavens he wanted to ask..., why he loved such a cruel woman.
