Turbulence #1

Ave and Rex were at the mall. They just spent a few hours strolling around and enjoying the moment.

Ave : Are you hungry?
Rex : Yeah, kind of.
Ave : I think I now what to get, please wait here, okay?
Rex : Okay.


Minutes passed by...
Hours passed by...

Even with no expectations, Rex held onto some small hope - but, how stupid. There's no sign of Ave to come back.

Rex come home to found Ave was sleeping on the couch.

Rex : What the hell are you thinking, Ave?
Ave : Hi, Rex. I'm sorry. I overslept.
Rex : That's not my question.
Ave : Then what?
Rex : You leave me out there, waiting. And you never come back.
Ave : I'm tired now. Don't start again.
Rex : You told me to wait! Damn it!
Ave : But I never said 'promise' to come back. I couldn't find what I was looking for, that's why I went home.
Rex : WTF Ave, seriously? How could you do this?
Ave : If we're start to argue again, then I don't want to be in it.
Rex : Ave, what are you thinking when you doing this? Did you even think about me? Did you even care? you just left me wondering all alone there.
Ave : I'm sorry okay? Now, can you let me sleep?
Rex : You are great, really. You always been good at this. You hurt someone, then saying sorry so easily.
Ave : What do you expect me to say then?
Rex : Then what do you expect me to do when you told me to wait? I've waiting for as long as it takes.
Ave : It's unintentionally. I was tired and sick.
Rex : Seriously? You can talk! You have mouth to tell me if you want to leave, so we can leave together!
Ave : ...

Rex : It's not the first time, Ave! And you can't think that I'm okay with all these nonsense. Because I'm getting tired too.
Ave : ...
Rex : You can't act like nothing happen and think that if you're not coming back to me, I will be okay? No, it's not okay at all.
Ave : Why you making a scene over a small thing?
Rex : God! Why you have to be so indifferent?! It's not the car keys or wallet that you forgot to bring, but it's me. You forgot me there!

Ave : ... 
Rex : The truth is that often the things that matter most are the small ones. Like today. Unless I was not that important to you. Then I will accept that.
Ave : ...
Rex : But now, I have come to think that I don't deserve to be treated this way.
Ave : ...
Rex : Do you ever think that you didn't deserve me either?
Ave : ...
Rex : Because I do.
