Sat 9 July 1378 A hot humid day

Never expect I would use this diary. It is Adriana's gift for my birthday last year... I'm not a dear diary type of person. Thought I would just keep it. But... well... what is meant for use should be used.

... Day of remembrance...
Adriana... my sweet angel... I first met her 10 years ago. But we've been friends 5 years. She is always on my mind. This I never told her. I'm happy just by seeing her and watching over when she is sad. She is the princess in ivory tower while I am an unworthy pebble.

I got a friend. He is of demon tribe. Zsolt got a peculiar look with his right eye patched, long scar on his face, and a wolf's tail which is atypical for demons... I've known Zsolt 1 year after Adriana. The three of us are close friends. Four, plus Jereon the wizard elf.

Since I introduced Zsolt to Adriana, she seemed to be obviously interested in him. I've always watched over her and was sure she liked him. As expected she always came to confide on me about Zsolt.

Until... She decided to ask him for a date 2 days ago. She consulted with me. That made me numbed all over... My heart sank... But if that's her happiness, I would have to support her. I encouraged her to go for him.

Today she reported me the outcome. Zsolt accepted her. Adriana's smile brightened when she talked about him. She shook my hands and kept repeating how happy she was. I could only smile in return despite the pang in my heart...

Am I right to let her go?... Actually I have no right to forbid her at the beginning, haven't I...?

Sun 10 July 1378 Still hot. Both body and soul.

Grant knocked on my door since early morning. WTF? Can't he get his own meal? The brat is 7 years younger than me. He yelled something in front of my door. Today I didn't feel like to go anywhere. Unspiritted to do anything.

The knock silenced for a while and he entered my room... with spare key.

Grant made face when he see me still crouched up on the bed. He said I acted sluggish like a snail... Yeah... if I'm a snail, you are a snail's bro.

He flunged away my blanket and rolled me out of my bed. Can't I have a peaceful sleep?

Finally I had to drag my weary heart and body to the studio... Darn... I don't wanna see him at this moment.

Zsolt was there. His expression unchanged. Still emotionless as usual (but better than Jereon)... He didn't slip a word about Adriana...

Anxious with what's between Adriana and Zsolt, I messed up the rehearsal today.

Huh... Dropped by a booststall on the way home... What a pity to take refuge on liquor...

Mon 11 July 1378Temperature slightly cooled but my heart sill not at ease.

"Ya drank?"
That's what Grant greeted me when I stepped in.

We got a small fight upon my drinking. I drank or not is my business but Grant was upset... Why? Aren't you also usually get drunk?
"Sis called ya last night." There he went... I dismissed the topic saying I won't answer any calls but the band... including Adriana's... Grant's brows knitted and he sat by me on the sofa.
"She dates with Geezer, right?"
I was silent before I nodded. The truth I wanna stay away as far as possible... No matter how hard I tried forcing myself to believe I am happy to see her happy. But it's so hard. How could I be happy...

Grant was there in silence.

The brat didn't go out today. Dunno he determined to go nowhere himself or just to stay with me. Though I could always read him as easily as a map, sometimes I couldn't figure him out.

I asked myself was I wrong not dare to ask her?
But there... I've been watching her for almost 10 years. I knew her spec of man. I'm not her type. Just a friend, a close friend she could confide in. That's it.

Sun 17 July 1378 Damn hot.

Darn. Depressed mood added hot weather made me even more depressed.
I didn't show up at the band. Didn't see Adriana or Zsolt or Jereon since then. Adriana still kept calling me but Grant helped me dismissed her making excuse that I got an errand for the whole week. Zsolt... never called. She might have related to him about me.

Today Grant gave me a ride on his fav bike. Dunno where he intended to take me to. I'd know when we reach there, he said.

I closed my eyes when I rode on his bike. Cool breeze hit my face. Though a bit too gusty but it gave nice feeling. This bro always took me on a ride whenever I was down.

"Here we are"
Grant took me to... Dad and Mom's... grave...

The graveyard was on the hill by the sea, not so faraway from the town we lived. The incident of that day still vivid in my memory... Dad and mom told us they would go for shopping. But they never returned. The townspeople brought us bad news of their car accident... The cruelest day of my and Grant's life. It's been 14 years but I never could forget it. We have no relatives. The funeral was held thanks to the fund by Dad's and mom's collegues. At first helping hands were reaching for us and diminished as time went by. I became both brother, father and mother for my only brother. Grant was only 5 and I 12. I had to take responsibility in everything. Dad's savings was kept for my and Grant's education coz Dad wanted us to have high schooling. I gotto work for my tuition fee since then. Our life was harsh. Even close to poverty. But we never gave up. When we're in hard time, we'd reminded ourselves of Dad and Mom's teaching. Recalling their faces encouraged us to keep on fighting.

I slowly sat before Dad and Mom's grave. Yeah... I'm the big brother. I must stay tough and be role model for bro. Every problem always got its solution.
We were not meant to plung in sadness. Bravely facing the problem was the right thing to do.

"Ye kept gloomy for days. D'you remember it's Dad and Mom's memorial day next Sunday?"
"Of couse I do... Dad, Mom, I'm sorry your lousy son have shown his weakness to his bro again."

Grant made a small smile and added.
"Yeah... Dad, Mom, Bro is lousy. ALWAYS bother meh to take care of him."
"See? Dad, Mom. See what a brat he is. You left me behind a BIG burden. How tiring..."

I laughed at Grant's smiley face. Thank for reminding me, Bro.

Mon 18 July 1378 Weather forecast told hot days will go on.

I woke up and found Grant not home. Probably went to find jobs.

I got dressed and rushed to the studio. I was the first one arrived so I passing time cleaning the instruments. Zsolt arrived not long after that. I greeted him with a smile apologizing for my long absence. He nodded in acknowledgement before left for a smoke.

Zsolt knew how I felt for Adriana that he accepted her. That's part of his decision making. But the other part... from my point of view... a person like him didn't wanna hurt other's feeling unnecessarily, especially a friend's... He took special care of them.

In the evening when the band dismissed. I walked home with Zsolt. I asked him how was Adriana.
"She is fine."
Seems like he knew what I was thinking. And so did he make that reply. I smiled and replied him that's good.

Tue 19 July 1378 Very very hot.

The weather went hotter and hotter each day. Darn. I was about to fried.
No use to blame the sun... Want an air con so bad...

Today Chris (the Drummer) called saying band would paused rehearsal for another week coz Zenile (the Vocalist) went abroad. The band manager also accompanied him. They won't come back till next week. I planned to find a job during this interval.

It was not so crowded at the square today. Probably due to the heat. There were a few classified ads at the bulletin board. Better choose daily paid jobs so that I could quit anytime.

"Rance?"

The ever-so-familiar voice that I didn't need to turn around and see who it was.
"Hey Adriana... Don't you go to your shop today? And Zsolt?"
I automatically greeted her. The ruby head girl beamed in reply.
"Zsolt went for his errand. I had my shopkeepers look after the shop."

And she asked me to the usual bar. Usually Adriana was sensible on money. But she could be a big spender if she pleased. She alwas paid on the boost we had. Though Zsolt and I ventured to pay, she always insisted she would treat us.

Adriana told me excitingly of the days before. What she did, where she went, how good she and Zsolt are. How perfect a man Zsolt is. How much she is in love with him... Actually that was all I heard from her a millionth times. But in different feeling coz now she got what she had longed for. The blissfulness in her voice rose when she spoke of her beloved man.

She didn't even ask how have I been. Why I was absent.
I tried to comprehend that she was now in high state of being in love.
I forced my heart and molded my smile to meet her happiness. Despite my face was painfully distorted.

She excused herself and returned to her shop 2-3 hours later.

I stepped out of the bar. The previously clear sky was now cloudy. Similar to my mind.

That's good... good... I'm happy I'm happy... if she's happy... I'm also happy...

But why did these tears come? I didn't get it at all...

Wed 20 July 1378 Screwed the weather. All I can feel is my clouded mind.

"Hwhat? Yur screwed again?"
The brat's voice rang into my ears.
"Leave me alone."
I poured liquor into a glass. The amber liquid was vibrant in the clear glass. I absent-mindedly turned the glass in my hand before drained it down my throat. But before the liquor touched my lips, the glass was snatched away by none other but Grant.
"Gimme back, Grant."
"NO"
And he took away the bottle and strode to the kitchen. I yelled after him but he took no heed. Why does everyone always make me annoyed!? When I followed him into the kitchen, I saw him drained all the content down the sewage.
"Ye gotto pull yourself together. Don't hurt yourself, 'kay?"
"It's none of your business!"
"But ye are my brother! Ye a*****e bro!!!"

A hard solid fist flew into Grant's right cheek sending him flying against the kitchen wall. I stood tall staring at him wiping blood at the corner of his mouth. Grant slowly stood up and spoke in low voice.
"But you... have promised to Dad and Mom..."
I gave no reply. Grant continued.
"If Sis knew how ye acted, she sure wouldn't be pleased..."
"And what the hell do you want me to do!? Keep on restraining myself!? Stand the pain all alone!?"
I grabbed his shirt collar and yelled into his face. Grant shot a glare at me.
"I'm so tired... Grant..."
"Then take a rest."
Grant took my hand on his shirt collar and dragged me to the sofa. He vanished into the kitchen then returned with a glass of iced water.
"Thanks."
I raised for the water. I took in my brother's face. His right cheek bruised from the punch. What... have I done....
"Grant... I'm sorry.... I hurt you..."
"Forget it. I didn't mind. I'm so used to fighting and being hit."
He beamed.

"I'm sorry..." I could only lower my head and repeated this word...

Thu 21 July 1378 Humid day

Trr trr trr trr trr ...
The mobile phone rang beside my pillow. I groggily scanned who's calling.
Her name was on the screen. I was hesitant between the red or the green button. Then I chose to push on the red. The ring was cut off. I don't wanna hear voice just now. I jumped when the phone started to ring anew. The same name lit on the screen. I switched it off.

Grant was home. The brat said it was a contracted job and he already done with it. He'll go out for job hunt tomorrow. While we were talking, the fixed line rang. Grant was about to answer it but I grabbed his arm. His blue eyes gave a quizzicle look. I slowly shook my head. Grant stood still. The phone went on ringing until the answering machine activated.

"Hello Rance. Why did you cut me off? No one at home today? I wanna ask do you have any idea where Zsolt is? I phoned him both at his mobile and his home but no answer. He didn't tell me where he'd go. So I call to ask if he is at the band with you. If you know his whereabout please return my call, 'kay? I got something for him. Ja. See you on Saturday at the usual bar. Bye."

Grant and I were muted. Only the tedious cut-off tone echoed in the silent room. Grant walked to the machine and deleted the message and he said to me.
"Saturday. I'll go."
"What?" I couldn't follow. What is he up to???
"On Saturday I'll go to the bar in place of you."
"But..."
"You rest at home. Tired, aren't ya?"
I was hesitant for a while then slowly nodded.
"Thanks Grant." I forced a laugh. "Your bro is so weak."
"Everybody got his down time."
I raised one brow.
"Since when you became a poet?"
Grant laughed and stuck out his tongue.
"I copied from Geezer."

Fri 22 July 1378 Hot nonstop

Today I went for job hunt with Grant. He led me to a bakery shop saying a waiter and an usher are wanted. Daily wages, good paid. Work 8 till 4 plus a meal. It's a new bakery shop not so far from home. Just another 3 blocks away. I looked at the shop's banner "Sweet Moment". Sugary name... teen's trend lately?

The owner accepted both of us. After get changed into the shop's uniform, Grant took out his comb and ruffled my hair.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
"Don't put on that spiky hairstyle like when ya on stage, Bro. Tis no cool. Art of seduction's rule no.1: The LOOK that kills."
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Do what you want."

Grant took the usher and I the waiter. The job ran smooth for half a day when he ran back to me demanding to swap his position with mine. His reason... he couldn't bear smiling all day and wanna bus the tray instead.
"But I don't---"
"C'mon... just flash a smile. You've already worn the look. Be confident, Bro. Just smile like the way you usually do for Sis."
I was dead in my track... Why mentioned it for Christ's sake.


"Never knew smiling can be so painful." I mumbled rubbing my throbbing cheeks.
"Yeah. You gotta know how hard it is to greet customers." Grant chimed.
"Tsk... Gave yur big bro a lesson, huh?" I ruffled his hair.
We walked home. I paused when caught sight of the familiar black Corvet in front of my house. Its owner stood by the trunk. Her brows knitted. I suddenly hid behind the wall. Grant eyed me wearily, sighed and shook his head.
"Just go talk with her. Why ye chicken now?"
"I'm not chicken. Just still not yet prepared." I eyed him.
"That's chicken.... 'Kay I'll take care of her. Shw shw... Ya go get other place to hide. I'll call ya when I'm done." The brat dismissed me before striding towards her.

I had no choice so I went for a walk to the market. Why did Adriana come...? To see me...? Or to accuse me of cutting her off yesterday...? Is she angry I didn't return her call...? Countless hypotheses bombarded in my head. I was walking not long when the phone rang. It's from Grant.
"What did she say?"
"Oh nothin'. She just dropped by to hand us a cake on her way home." Came his munching sound through the line.
"That's it?" I was secretly relieved she didn't come to rebuke me. But other half of me was sad she didn't ask about me.
"That's it. Come home quick. Late or the cake is gone." I was about to protest when the other end hung up.
"Glutton" I sighed hard and ran home.

Sat 23 July 1378 My mind on fire

"How was it?"
I greeted him. Grant's face glowed red. He must have drunk a lot.
"Gooooood. Tastes so gooooood."
The brat said giggling. How can we talk?

As Grant had said, today he'd go to the bar instead of me. What's on his mind I dunno.
This morning we both worked at the bakery. When it was over he went
straight to the bar while I went home. I kept fidgetting, walking around nervously. No... gotto concentrate... I reached for a note on the nearby table and took a glance at it. Unfinished song... no progress since last month. I added a Ti, So, Do... 5 o'clock. They should have reached the place... Re La Mi Fa... 6 o'clock. What are they talking now? ... So... Argggghhh enough!!!! Stupid song enough!!!!!

So here I am walking to and fro. What the hell am I doing?!?!?
I glanced at the clock. Its second hand ticked and ticked... 7 o'clock...
I lied across the sofa. Maybe I could watched TV to pass the time. What do we got here? ... News... drama... variety... gameshow... Nothing interesting. My finger switched it off automatically.
I dug my face into a small cushion on the sofa. Darn you Grant. What took you so long? a*****e Rance... dickhead... you gave up that easily?...
My eyes glued at the clock's second hand that kept ticking... ticking... Sleep slowly claimed me as seconds passed by...

Ring ring

I jumped from sleep before turned to see the clock... 11 o'clock... I hopped to the door. My own brother stood there smiling sheepishly.

After praising how good the drink was, Grant wobbled past me. I closed the door after him.
"How was Adriana?"
"Pretty as usual." He slumped on the sofa.
"Hey you're too drunk to make any sense. I mean how is she? Did she say something about you going there instead of me?"
"Noooope... Ugh.... just wondered why it was meeeh... not yoooou ugh" He looks awful. Don't you puke!!
"So... how about Zsolt?"
"... Geezer was ... the same." Grant dug his face on the cushion.
"What d'you talk?" I asked while fetching him water from the kitchen. He didn't reply. "Grant?" I came back with a glass of water in hand. I looked at my brother's sprawling form on the sofa. "Grant... you...asleep?..."
A snore came in reply. I sighed wearily before dragging him up his bed. I left and let out another sigh. Better rest tonight. Tomorrow I'll ask him. Huh how lame he is.

Sun 24 July 1378 Hot weather is bad. But hot with anxiety is worse.

I woke up early. When I knocked on Grant's door, there was no answer. He must have got hangover.
I was trying to rap on the doors several more times but still no answer... Tsk. Could I ever know what the hell you did with those two?
"Hey! Grant. Are you up!?"
Silence.
Lucky that today is Sunday. The bakery is closed. Huh~ I shook my head wearily. Gotto wait till he woke up.

Finally he woke up at 2 o'clock and able to make decent conversation at 3. He must have drunk a lot last night. He had Adriana paid him free boost and he took liberty to drink a hell lot. How ungrateful!
"Hey. How's your hangover?" I asked when I saw him sitting on the sofa, still massaging his temple. I was laying his lunch on the table. "Here is your lunch. Eat up. You drinking too much will get your stomach pierced. Here is painkiller."
"Umm... thanks bro..." The brat sat down at the dining table. Good chance to ask him about yesterday's incident, I took a seat opposite to him. Fixing my gaze on his face, I watched him eat for a while.

"Did Adriana talk only about Zsolt?" I blurted out. Grant jumped and coughed.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!! Ooi ye suddenly blew me from outa nowhere. I was shocked. Cough!" He mumbled, patting on his chest and swallow water. "Cough" He still went on coughing.
"Easy." I rubbed on his back. Huh~ He is almost 19 but still a baby in my eyes. =_=
"So, how was yesterday?" I pursued. The brat looked at my face, sighed and made a lengthy reply.
"Ye breathed in and breathed out Sis, ya know?... Last night was no incident. Just drinking, chatting, like usual. I chatted with both of them. Umm... Sis was the same just... looked livelier? Geezer was EXACTLY the same. Drinking quietly almost all the time. It was Sis who did the talking of what she'd done all day. And I chitchatted with her. Geez went home later saying he was tired wanna have a rest. Not long after he left, Sis also left."
"That's it?" I asked.
"That's it... eh... ye repeated this word too often lately?" Grant knitted his brows.
"Oh... umm... nothing. Thanks for being there for me. Let's finish your lunch." I cut it off.

Grant was hiding something from me. Did he think he could dupe me? I had raised you up all these 14 years. How couldn't I know you, huh?
Adriana must have been very happy. She must have kept talking to Zsolt, right? That's natural. Even a simpleton like me could figure it out.
Anyway thanks for not telling me... Sometimes the truth is too painful to know. Is that what you were thinking, Grant?

After lunch, I hurried my brother to get dressed. It was late in the evening. We went to the florist at the Square to order a bouquet of white lily, Mom's favorite flower, and Botan for Dad. Grant rode on his bike with me. We rushed to the place... where Dad and Mom are sleeping... Today is their memorial day...

Grant and I softly placed the bouquet before their grave.

Dad. Mom. Though you've been away for 14 years, we always miss you. Things could have been a lot better if only you were still with us. I could have had someone to confide in. Dad. Mom. When you two dated each other. Did you ever have heart problems like I have? I couldn't find the solution. My best friends are dating each other. One is my best friend, the other is the girl I love with all my heart. I should be happy to see them in love. I should be happy to see her happy. But I'm not. I've tried. Tried to put a smile on my face. Tried to be happy to see the one I love happy. But why is it so painful?

How long can I bear this feeling? It's so painful but I gotto bear it, don't I? But for how long can I bear this pain...
I will try. I will keep on trying. Please don't pity your weak son... I'm sorry if I have disappointed you two... But I'll try my best as I always do...
Love you so much.

.....

Oh yes... Chris said Manager needed the song to be finished by Tuesday. Today gotto finish it so that I don't have any brain left for thinking too much. That was what I was thinking on the ride home with Grant. My feeling today was loaded... hopefully things will get better from now on. Wish me luck. Dad... Mom...

Mon 25 July 1378 Piercing pain

I woke up early for work as usual. Saw Grant took painkiller before we left home. Dunno if he still got hangover or was he got a fever?

I made a mistake... a grave mistake to go for work today...
He and she came to the bakery...
Zsolt and Adriana were here... I almost couldn't run to hide in the kitchen in time. Grant cheerfully greeted the two. Hopefully the brat won't split a word of me working here...
I volunteered to do the dishes or anything in order not to see customers during they were here. Adriana must have asked Zsolt to take her here for a cake. She loved to try new recipe. She could get bored easily and always loved to try new things. Sweet Moment was a newly open shop. Not to mention it's a cake shop. Adriana is a sweet-toothed. No wonder she would drag Zsolt to try the cake... Come to think of it. Zsolt didn't like sweets. What would he gonna order? Orange juice? I felt a pang in my chest. I wish the man sitting by her side was me. But it could only be daydreaming...

"Bro, they're gone."
I jumped. Grant popped up from nowhere putting a pause to my train of thinking.
"Ye can go to the front."
"No need to. I'm gonna quit today. Zenile will be back tomorrow. I'll continue rehearsal with the band. Don't have to work here anymore." I gave him a smile. Grant looked at me and sighed.
"Please get it over fast. Ye've been hiding your face long enough. Sis is worried about you. She just asked for you."
"Ehh? Really?" My eyes grew larger.
"Count on my word. Oi work now." Grant pushed on my back.

Though Adriana is worried about me, the one who is always on her mind is not me.
I have to accept it. I couldn't keep avoiding her for long...

The song is still not done. If I don't finish it by today Manager would get mad at me.

Tue 26 July 1378 Emotional progress... minutely...?

"Bro~!! BRO~!!!"
"..."
"Bro~! Crazy bro~!!! Dumb bro~!!! a*****e bro~!!!"
"Hey! What da ******** with you, Grant!!!"

I slammed the door open. The brat drummed on my door nonstop for 5 mins.
"Eh? Ye said you'll join the band."
"I will"
I replied. Why didn't he go to work?
"How about you? Don't you go to the bakery? It's about time!"
Grant leaned on the wall gazing at me.
"Never mind meh. I'll go later... Ye still don't wanna see Geezer, right?"
Damn it. Why does he always pry his nose on everything?
"No. The song still not finished. Manager would kill me."
Grant glanced at me and shook his head in surrender.
"Al'right. I believe ya. I'll leave for work now." The brat retreated to his room but not before he snapped. "Be careful not to show yer low-spirited face in front of Geezer and the band, okay? It's uncool."

When I arrived I found no one but Chris who greeted me jovially.
"Hi Rance. You're early."
I asked for the others but seemed like both Zenile and Zsolt were having errands. Zenile just left the airport with Manager picking him up. Zsolt just called saying he'd be late. Chris complained that everyone left him practise alone since morning... Then why the hell did you come so early?

"I thought Zenie will arrive early. But the flight got delayed. And Zsolt happened to be late despite he always comes early. Dunno what happened. Running stomach maybe?" Chris chirped. I didn't say a word... Zsolt maybe busy. I showed Chris the song I wrote and we discussed while waiting for other members.

The band dismissed pretty late today... 8 pm... 2 hours later than usual... I walked home wearily. Zsolt reached at 11 and Zenile 1 pm. So we began rehearsal almost 3. The song was approved. Some parts need to be editted which everyone helped edit and tried playing it. Everything went smooth until I accidentally noticed a kissmark on Zsolt's neck... No wonder he dressed pretty formal...Probably he's late today because he took Adriana home before joining the band...

I think my condition is improving... because I'm getting used to the pang in my chest?

Wed 27 July 1378 Hot again

Nothing interesting today. Joined the band. Dismissed at 5 pm. Manager told us that a client will hold a concert and we are hired to perform on the stage. It's around mid August. Rehearsal time roughly about 2 weeks. Manager wanna discuss with us before he accepted the deal with the client tomorrow. Actually it's no need to discuss... making decision is their job. Discussing with us is just courtesy.

Grant called saying he'd stay over a night elsewhere. Huh... with a girl again.

Thu 28 July 1378 Baffled

I thought I'd refrain from writing but today I got an incident...
Umm... Actually I may present this diary to a TV soap show director. The plot is cheesy enough. Who knows I can earn some bucks from it.

Unlucky since the break of dawn. Thanks to my dumbass brother.
A red handprint stamped on my left cheek.
Well, I'll tell you what happened.

Yesterday Grant went outdoor. I doubt he had a hunch or something that he stayed a night somewhere else. I woke up in the morning by a commotion outside. It was a female's voice tho I couldn't catch the lines. I peeped through the curtain. It was a young girl, pretty and chic. She was screaming something. Tears streaked down her pretty face. I was always soft towards woman's tears so I opened the door without thinking and walked to the fence to ask why she's crying in front of my house. Then her pretty hand slapped me hard on the cheek. I was baffled.

"Who the hell are you? Get lost. Where is Grant!?" Hey hey, young lady. If you're looking for someone why do you have to slap an innocent man's face?
"Uhh... Grant is not home." I answered. "Why did you slap me?"
"Because you are NOT Grant" Wait a sec. This is not right. The one who deserves the slap should be that stupid bro of mine, doesn't it???
"What did he done to you?" I stepped back from the fence for my face's safety sake.
"Grant... Grant..." Her tears now cascading... Did I say something wrong? "Grant told me he liked me... so why did he go out with Karen. Hooooo...."

Okay. The same old mess. He must have soiled this girl and run.
"Uhh... I think you'd better go back... he is not home.... He said he'd stayed a night outdoor." Oh no. She's crying like a waterfall now. "Ah...Uhh... I mean..."
I just stood there dunno what to do. Suddenly she quieted and left.
... Girls are surely hard to comprehend...

Chris was laughing hard when he spotted the red monument on my cheek.
"Hahaha Oii Bro! Where did you get that handprint! Hahaha Or did you say something naughty that she gotto shut you up with her hand? Hahaha Oii my tummy hurts!"
Tsk. Funny huh? It's NOT funny at all.
"Chris, if you won't shut up I'll kick you outa the band" I roared.
The boy swiftly composed himself. "Sir Yes Sir! I won't laugh... fufu" Damnit... is he a clone of Grant?...
Zenile made face but he was kind enough to hand me the balm. Zsolt didn't mention anything just note that I had to warn Grant not to flirt around. Umm... Was I too absorbed about Adriana lately that I neglected to look after my brother?

I finished today's diary at almost 1 am. The p***k is still not home. I swear I'd make him pay. My cheek is still swollen.

Hopefully he'd come back home tomorrow. I've tried reaching him thru his mobile but he switched it off all day.

What a headache.
