From an unknown writer,
Rithy and Mealea
were sitting in the river park doing nothing, but just gazing into the sky,
while all their friends were having fun with their beloved half.
Mealea: I'm so bored. Just wish I have a boyfriend now to
spend time with.
Rithy: I guess we're the only leftovers. We're the only
person who isn't with a date now. (Both sigh and silence for a while)
Mealea: I think I have a good idea. Let's play a game.
Rithy: Eh? What game?
Mealea: Eem... It's quite simple. You be my boyfriend for
100 days and I'll be your girlfriend for 100 days. What do you think?
Rithy: Oookay... Anyway I don't have any plan for the
next few months.
Mealea: You sound like you aren't
looking forward to it at all. Cheer up. Today will be our first day and our
first date. Where should we go?
Rithy: What about a movie? I heard
that there is a really great movie in cinema now.
Mealea: Seems like I don't have any
better idea than this. Let's move. (Went to watch their movies and sent each
other home)
Day 2:
Rithy and Mealea went to a concert together, and Rithy bought Mealea a
keychain with a star.
Day 3:
They
went shopping at Sorya Super Market together for a friend's birthday present.
Share an ice-cream at Swensen’s together and hugged each other for the first
time.
Day 7:
Rithy drove Mealea up Shihanouk Ville and they watched the sunset together.
When the night came and the moon glowed, they laid sat on the grass gazing at
the stars together. A meteor passed by Mealea
mumbled something.
Day 25:
Spend
time at Rivser Side and got onto Lucky burger, and ate hotdogs and cotton
candy. Rithy and Mealea got in the Sorya super maket and
Mealea grabbed someone's hand
instead of Rithy's hand by accident.
They laughed together for a while.
Day 67:
They
drove pass river side in the evening and came to a fortune teller and she just
said "Treasure every moment from now on" and a tear rolled down the
fortune teller's cheek.
Day 84:
Mealea suggested that they go to Bac
Kheng. There wasn't so crowded that day. They had their first kiss with each
other just as the sun is setting.
Day 99:
They
decided to have a simple day and were deciding to have a walk around the city.
They sit down onto a bench.
1:23 pm
Mealea: I'm thirsty. Let's rest for a
while first.
Rithy: Wait here while I go buy some
drinks. What would you like?
Mealea: Eem... Apple juice will be
just fine.
1:43 pm
Mealea was waiting for about 20
minutes and Rithy hadn't returned. Then someone walked up to her.
Stranger: Is your name Mealea?
Mealea: Yes, and may I help you?
Stranger: Just now down there on the
street a drunk driver has crashed into a guy. I think he is your friend.
Mealea ran rushly over to the spot
with the stranger and saw Rithy
lying on the floor with blood over his face and her apple juice still in his
hands. The ambulance came and she went to the hospital with Rithy. Mealea sat outside the emergency room for five and a half hours.
The doctor came out, and he sigh.
11:51
pm
Doctor: I'm sorry, but we do the best
we could. He is still breathing now but God would take him away from us very
soon. We found this letter inside his pocket.
The
doctor handed over the letter to Mealea
and she went into the room to see Rithy.
He looked weak but peaceful. Mealea
read the letter and then she burst into tears. Here was what the letter said:
"Meala, our
100 days is almost over. I have fun with you during all these days. Although
you may be greedy sometimes and less thoughtful, but these all brought
happiness into my life. I have realized that you are a really cute girl and
blame myself for never taken the time to know that. I had nothing much to ask
for, but I just wish that we can extend the day. I want to be your boyfriend
forever and wish that you could be beside me all the time. Meala, I love you."
11:58
Meala: (sobbing) Rithy! Did you know what was the wish I
made on the night there was a meteor? I asked God to let us last forever. We
were suppose to last 100 days so Rithy!
You can't leave me! I LOVE YOU, but can you come back to me now? I love you Rithy. I LOVE YOU.
As
the clock struck twelve, Rithy's
heart stopped beating. It was exactly100 days.
