Kismet's Perfect Fiasco

Episode 29

Wednesday night was when we watched The Fault In Our Stars. Another movie that I've been watching for almost a hundredth time now.

Gus and Hazel's love story is different from other Romance movies that I have watched. Their love story is a living reason in a life where death is always waving. It was ironically beautiful. It was an oxymoron with a motivational twist of heaven.

But most of all, their love story reminded me that each one of us is a reason to answer one's why and a mission to fulfill one's life.

On the part of Gus and Hazel's lovestory, Hazel is Gus' answer on why he didn't need to be remembered when he died just for his life to be a remarkable one. Hazel made him realize that in order for him to have a remarkble life, he needs to start focusing on the ones who truly love him. He didn't need to be remembered by many. It's bull. All he needs is to be remembered by the ones who wholeheartedly and genuinely love him. Quality over quantity.

On the other hand, Gus completed Hazel's life. He is her final needs before she die. He completed her by making her feel alive amidst of the waving storm of death. And with that, even if he died first, she is still living with his presence on her life and on that moment, she felt alive more.

That night, I am crying through the middle and latter part of the movie. Hue have to joke around before he went home because I am completely emotional. Before he went home, he told me that we should never watch a movie with a sick protagonist again or else, we should resort with watching porn instead. I agreed with him with a swollen eyes because the porn part will never happen.

While last night, we watched The Notebook. Before we started, Hue warned me that the movie should not have a sick protagonist or else, we will really proceed with watching porn. I just slapped him on his arms while laughing.

Actually, I am quite nervous last night because practically, the old Allie has a dementia. But eventually, I snapped out of my worry. That night, I have realize that Hue is not watching the movie. He is watching me watch the movie.

The movie taught me that if you truly love someone, the feelings you have towards that someone will never fade. Noah and Allie is such a great definition of true love never dies. Their love story focused about the great prowess that love has.

Moreover, the movie also taught me that love is inevitable. It can't be eluded by just a blink of an eye. It's the thing that you can't navigate. When it hits you, you have no way out but to fight or to surrender with a broken heart.

But, because I don't believe in love, the movie didn't made me emotional. Not until the ending scene with the dead bodies of Noah and Allie lying on the hospital bed.

I cried for the third time while staring at the names of the director, staffs and casts of the movie. And because Hue is obnoxious, he stared at me with a disgusting look for the third time, too.

The ending of the movie had me crying the whole night. Hue told me that we will never watch a tragic movie again.

"Let me choose the movie." He grabbed my laptop away from me. "Seriously, the last thing I want to see tonight is you crying for the nth time."

I swat his arms while laughing. "Whatever."

A few moments after, after he finally chose a movie, he grinned at me. "We should watch I Love You, Beth Cooper."

"Haven't heard of that movie before but it sounds interesting, so yeah." Umupo na ako sa kama habang pine-play na ni Hue ang movie.

"Sorry to spoil you but this is not a fucking tragic movie so don't ready your tears." He chuckled and lay down to my bed with his tummy facing the bed.

Forget me your on your way
We don't have to stay in touch
We may remember someday
Til' then it doesn't matter that much

The movie started with a girl singing their graduation song. And from that moment I knew, this will be a great movie.

Forget the tears we cried
Forget the good times too
Forget the pain inside
I know there's somebody waiting for you

"Thank you for loving me." Said by Beth to Denis and I started to cry. I am blinking my tears as the old pictures of the director and staffs of the movie began to show.

Hue stared at me as his eyes danced in amusement. "Seriously?" He guffawed as he wiped the tears falling down to my cheeks. "The movie is actually a romantic comedy one and it has a happy ending. Are you shitting me?"

I continued to cry as I softly slam a pillow right into his face.

"You know what? I am afraid that you will shed tears over a Mr. Bean Episode." He tilted his head. "Don't lie to me, are you a fucking factory of tears?" He laughed more and I roll my eyes playfully.

"Let's do something fun tomorrow night. Let's stop this crying-over-a-movie-shit routine." He said after a moment of silence.

I look at him. "Maybe you meant, let's do a crime again?"

He chuckled. "Nope, I am not talking about let's-ruin-some-douchebag's-house-fun. I am talking about real fun."

"Nope." I said. Albeit I am dead curious, I just chose to not play easy to him. He should realize that he can't drag me unto something everytime he wants to.

"Come on." He pouted and I chuckle while shaking my head.

"Okay, let's do a bargain." He wiggled his eyebrow. "Sabihan mo ako ng isang bagay na dapat kong gawin kapalit ng pagsama mo sa akin bukas nang gabi."

Oh, he is driving me a hard bargain.

As I wipe the havoc of tears on my eyes, I started to think of numerous things for his bargain. Most of it was him answering my dead curious questions about him like: Why is his parents don't live with him? Does he have siblings? When is his birthday? Where is his birth place? Does he have any awards in school? What is his hobbies? What is his talent? What is his favorite movie? Does he also love reading books? What is his favorite book, then? Who is his celebrity crush? What is his ideal girl? Why is he so freaking handsome? No, let's san the latter part. 

But, my mouth automatically said "Wear a pink shirt tomorrow."

His mouth parched but recovered quickly. "There is really something wrong with you." He laughed and I am slapping myself mentally.

"But, sure. I will do it for you." He gave me a smug smile before walking towards the transparent door of my balcony. Before I knew it, he has already left me with his ninja-sort-of-moves that I can't get used to.
