Ten

The sound of the fireworks in the sky is so loud, but it weirdly makes people happy. Meanwhile she is leaning on the wall of that balcony with mix up feeling. She closes her eyes. She used to wait for ten in her calendar to meet this guy. She cannot believe that it must be over now. Ten times, ten great memories. Is it really a perfection? She opens her eyes and stares at his eyes. Yes, perfection..

But like any other magical moment in this world, they both know that it should be over. It's ten already. It's over..

Nine

"Oh my God, i am so grateful that it's over!" She said it to him while they took a walk outside the theater.
"I know right! I have no idea how an action movie could be this bored, we should just leave a long time ago!" He added "i have stared you for much longer and never been bored, and i don't have to pay for that."

Eight

"I cannot believe it has to be over now. It was fun back there."
"I am sorry that your favorite band didn't show up." He glanced back at his watch.
"Your favorite band didn't show up too."
"Ya like Coldplay would play here." He laughed. "Wait up, it's 12 already!"

He put a CD, then Magic by Coldplay was played on the tape. This song is her favorite song from his favorite band. Way greater to replace the usual-cheesy-happy birthday song.

"Call it magic.. Call it true.. Call it magic, when i'm with you.."
Yes, it's magic but it wasn't real.

"Happy birthday to you, i know we only have two more tens, and just so you know, i never feel this way before, feeling this free before. I can be whoever i ever wanted to be. Thanks to you, thanks to this.." He smiled "perfection." He kissed her in the forehead and said goodbye.

Seven

"Okay, so you think you can beat me." He put on his helmet.
"Yeah, don't you think that i am a girl, so i'll be suck at sport" She teased him. He laughed and kept boasting around.

"Ready, set, GO!"

She rode her bicycle as fast as she could. He was left behind, made her laughed so badly.

Six

"Fries!"
"Gosh Chris you really know how to boost this mood up again."
"Eat this while you make up story which describe your unhappiness"
"None of this would be true, you know that, are you still okay with that?" She hesitantly asked.
"Ya whatever way to lighten your burden."

Five

Her phone rang, it's Chris.
"Hey, i know you're still out of town, we can postpone this." She answered the phone.
"Hey Fries! Turn around now." He responded on the phone but she heard his voice even closer.

She couldn't believe of what she just saw, he was right behind her. Behind that glass door. She opened it, asked him to come in.

"Whoa Chris, you said you would be out of town today."
"Ya i do, but it's ten, so i take the fastest flight to come back here." He looked so tired. "And it's a real story this time"

"Well, thank you.."

Four

"Can i have this dance?" He asked.
"Sure." She smiled and stepped up to the center of the party. It's been a long time since Prom.

Three

"I grew up on a beach, i used to help my dad went sailing on the sea, went fishing all day, we used to come home and asked mom to cook the fish we got back there." He told it with a lot of enthusiasm in his face.
"Wow, nice story, but I grew up in a mountain, i used to play with wolf at midnight." She teased him, they laughed.


They knew none of that stories were real.

Two

"Hey, it's awkward. I don't know anything about you, and you don't know anything about me. I could be a serial killer, you know." He teased her.
"Ya it's hard to believe then." She laughed at his big stomach. "You wanna know about me? Yeah i guess we should start to make up our own story. Use your imagination, be creative." She challenged him.
"Great idea!" He looked so spiritful. "Just so you know, i am not a serial killer. I am a front-runner of my band, Coldplay" he laughed. That old joke, she laughed so hard she was gonna fall off her chair.

One

"Hey, i couldn't help but see that it's your third french fries and you are sitting here by yourself. Do you wait for someone?"
"Hey i am so sorry i couldn't speak with a stranger right now. I am a silly girl who wait for her ex right at this very bar, still can be lied on the third times. Look, old story, he doesn't show up! Again! I am tired of this thing."
"Whoa slow down, calm yourself. I know it's too awkward to tell your whole life to a stranger, but believe me, i know what it feels like. I just got off a five years relationship." He replied.
"I am so sorry to hear that, it sucks right! Sometimes i just hate how he could change from a perfection to someone i barely know anymore."
"You know, i've been adored this girl for two years before i had the chance to be in a relationship with her. She was so perfect before. Then we had the relationship, started getting to know the real her. She is no longer a perfection. Then issues showed up everywhere, even the smallest one. Sometimes, i just wish that we didn't share anything, so she still could be.."
"A perfection.." She chimed.
"Exactly." He replied.

"Hey, how if we have fun a little bit, how if we try to have this perfection we were talking about?" She got an idea. "I don't know you, you don't know me. I see that we both attracted to each other. It's perfect!" She finished her line.
"How can we do that? If we date then the whole mess would be repeated itself. I would eventually know you at last, and so do you. We cannot just go on dates and know nothing, right?" He looked so attached to her idea yet confused at the same time.
"It's ten now, we would go on dates every tenth day of the month. By that following date, we should never told anything true about ourselves, we could be anything we wanted to be. We could make up any story we wanted to."
"Wow, great idea! I am so excited!" He added "but we couldn't keep tell lies about ourselves forever. There would be a time when the wall is gonna fall apart, someday. If you know what i mean."

"I guess we would do ten dates. By the tenth date, we would say goodbye and it's still a perfection.." She might sound true this time.

"Deal! I guess i would call you Fries!" He teased her.
"And what should i call you?" She asked back.
"You can call me Chris Martin." He shook her hand.
"Aha, i met a Coldplay fans. I really love Magic from their new album Ghost Stories."
"Yes, Magic is a great song, i have to admit. You have a good taste of music." He nodded. "It's nice to meet you Fries."
"Yes, it's my pleasure Chris, we"ll meet again next month on ten ya."





And that's how it began. As it goes, she profoundly realize, this thing between her and Chris would end eventually.

Yes ended, with perfection..
