Gallery Girl - Part II

Gallery, Best-friends, Gerald.

Karen have left town to her new favorite place. And Gerald.....its been some months since his arrival in Manchester. Karen's departure delayed for couple of weeks than it should be, but she stills go. Once before her departure, he asked "Shouldn't you just go here? this could be a sign, you perhaps fate to go to UK with me" said he. Karen replied, "Shouldn't you asked about what happen with my papers than saying such words?". "Sorry Karen, I have not meant anything but i probably said the right thing", said Gerald. 

Karen's first day of work was full of fun, meeting such cool people from the gallery. She is in love with her work, she probably could forget Gerald in the next few months. And boys, there are many cool boys around...No, nobody could compare to my favorite. 

"Don't ask me if my soul is still somewhere flying to Manchester" says Karen to Mary. Mary is Karen's favorite girl and one more favorite nurse lady who always busy in hospital and school, Ryry. 

These girls know everything, especially mary, a skype call at night is a must. "So, how was work?" said Mary, "I can see some sparkling bubbly lights from your face, did Gerald call you?", "Does it always related to Gerald when I look some kind of bubbly?" Karen slammed Mary back. "Whatever Karen, talk to you again, soon, I have tons of things to do in the office, I probably could not talk to you for the next three days, take care and i hate you very much", Joke Mary. "I hate you more, Mary...take care with work and say hello to Don".

Karen couldn't think any of friend to talk, Ryry is always busy with hospital, and other friends...."Do i have other friends?" asked Karen to herself. It's funny because she always thought she has million billion friends, but it always turns out being all alone. Way before, Gerald was always there for Karen. 

Day in the gallery was fine. Not much with work since they already had exhibitions right before Karen's arrival. Karen, all alone, with smartphone and wi-fi, it is all perfect, or it was all perfect. Moving to a total new place makes her realize how lonely it is when she is alone, she strives hard to send away her boredom by doing unnecessary thing...like going to malls alone. She keeps on message Mary, "I miss you, I have no friend, hows work? Can we skype tonight?" said Karen on her text.

Sunday morning's sunshine struck Karen's window so brightly. It's weekend and she has plan to go out with some new friends. Karen misses Gerald, they have not talked for almost two weeks. She could not find any reason to say Hi, "Oh and its funny, I'm still in relationship with Gerald", told Karen to herself. 

It was 11 AM, her cellphone ringing with one special ringtone. It's Gerald, its Gerald...she holds herself for second and....."Hi G! You haven't called me nor text me for weeks! How are you? You miss a lot, ain't you?", said Karen. "Wahhh, feeling so excited to hear you, Ren! How's the gallery? I missed you lots, I knew you have been busy with Gallery that's why I didn't call you", said G. "Says who I've been busy? I talked to Mary every night, thought I could meet you on-the-line, I even asked her if you ever called her" replied Karen, "Seriously? You miss me that much? You could have text me or call me first" said G. 

Karen talked to Gerald for hours, she almost forget she has plan to go out. Talking to Gerald probably her favorite activity, she can do it all day long, all night long. Well, no more boredom, she goes out to hang with some new friends and visit her favorite coffee shop in town. Karen and Gerald once plan to go to the oldest coffee store in Seattle, it was once.

Sharon's Note.

Hi! I am in the feeling of writing, I am leaving to my favorite place Jakarta next friday. I missed my friends so much, I miss Gerald (Hell No!) Joke, I kind of miss seeing high school/Junior High School friends. I missed Tasya most. I think hard to the meaning of friendship, I have no idea on it. I just want to deactivate my facebook (Well, due to some reasons I had to activate again) but once I'm in boarding room, I'd deactivate and write more about this. 

Hari-hari ini rasa berat, seperti banyak orang nusuk dari belakang. Apa mungkin karenabulan nya sedang datang? 

With Love,

Debora.
