Gallery Girl - Short Story

Hi!!! I'm kinda excited for my short story, I think this is very typical love story but I just love it (maybe because i made it!). I submitted this story days ago, Got 85...pretty well for 2hours making of this :))
Anyway i made this based on my fantasy, imagination and inspired by some pictures and story, so if there's any similarities in any drama/movie/short-film/story, I am deeply apologize and i dont have any intention to plagiarized. Cheers!


GALLERY GIRL
“I’m leaving, aren’t you coming with me?” Gerald turned his head but his soul is certainly ready for jet plane.
It is certainly a too long day for both of them, conversation has done but answer is floating. The two are leaving for different direction in a different time, definitely not for good but for a pretty long time. Consideration to stay is still in mind to wait for the other-half. “But how about my future, I have my bright future too”, asked Karen in her heart.
Gerald and Karen has been good friend for years, good friend stage leveled up into some romantic friends. Being ambitious towards future, imagining themselves as a professional, working with each other, that is all what they have dreamed of. But everything turned upside down after college. Gerald decided to take his step to City of Manchester then Karen has decided to pursue her dream to Washington as a gallery girl.
(Flashback)
“Karen?” asked Gerald in their bbm voice chat.
It’s been a week since their last meeting. Blackberry is the only way to get each other. Both are busy but they try at least to send hello every day.
“Yes, Gerald, we should meet up, there are some things I need to ask” tell Karen to Gerald. “Then see you in Café around 1pm” replied Gerald.
Gerald have arrived minutes before 1 in the afternoon, He has ordered what they always order.
“Hi G! What’s up? Have u waited for long time?” said Karen while pulling her chair.
“I’ve been good as always, been busy with some papers….How’s your preparation? Ready for Washington?” response Gerald.
All conversation seemed like they are backing for each other but on other side both are asking what exactly are they doing.
“All are good, just there are some papers I have to do in embassy” said Karen.
“When are you leaving me anyway?” Joke Karen right before Gerald’s words.
“Hahaha, what are you talking about? I’m leaving next Saturday” answered Gerald, “We should have a date, right? SeaWorld would be great” He asked her out.
“Friday will do, right? I have things to do until Thursday, and I might be home late” told Karen to Gerald.
“Sure, I can pick up if you want, like my last ride for you” silly joke threw to Karen by Gerald.
And suddenly the café play their favorite song Sara Bareilles’ Love song. Karen smiled and Gerald tried to hold his laughs. As a fan-girl Karen knew the story behind the song, not a love song but a rebel song.
“U know that I’m not going to write love letter for you, right?” Joke Karen.
“You silly, let’s go now, I have somewhere to go” asked Gerald. They parted in parking car, “See you Friday” told each other.
Friday, is now the day. He’s leaving tomorrow but we have one day left.
“Pretty Morning to you, Ren!” said Gerald, “Who’s prettier? Me or the Morning?” asked Karen with her silly question”.
SeaWorld is one of their favorite place, the two loves Photography and seafood. Back then Gerald was almost a professional diver.
They have arrived in the main aquarium, not their favorite place but cool enough to see some divers’ giving food for the fishes. And to take pictures.
They walked around seeing fishes, enjoying under water scenery.
Antasena Hall is their favorite spot in SeaWorld, an underwater hall with travelator and see-through glass along the hall.
“So, are we good?” asked Gerald.
“Yes, are we sick?” joked back Karen.
“Karen, do you know that there are so many galleries in London even in Manchester” Gerald tried to convince her again.
They both applied for UK and USA visa together, both received the two visas but they got different job offer.
Karen just smiled without saying a word.
Awkwardness bombed the situation, no words to say, things have been discussed but no one satisfied with the result.  They smiled at the fishes, No…they laughed off the dreams.
“We still can meet, I’m sure for that, I can visit you and you can visit me, right? We’re still we the last words were the unsure things Karen have said.
Time clocked to 4 in the afternoon, time flied with unsure things.
They are about to leave Antasena Hall.
For the last time Gerald asked “I’m really leaving tomorrow, aren’t you coming with me?”
Karen answered him, “I’m leaving too but I’ll come over your place”
