The Girl I Met in a Cafeteria

The Girl I Met in a Cafeteria

I’m so depressed. A lot of homework that my demon teacher gave me has not done yet. Plus, I have a lot of exams that, I think, will kill me. I am just stressed and I want to look for some oxygen out of that crazy world. The first place that come to my mind is that cafeteria, hospital cafeteria. Why I choose hospital? I don’t know too but a strong feeling take me there.
I bring my wallet with much money to the cafeteria. I just want to eat some meckerel soup or tendon to fresh my mind from that crazy thing. When I just want to order the menu, a beggar is being kicked out from the cafeteria. Many people is insulting her. I feel sorry to her and walk to her. I can’t believe it! I don’t know what happen with my eyes! I’m sure that she is my best friend when I was in elementary school. Yeah, I just lost contact with her.
I grab her wrist and take her to a seat. I don’t know what I should say to her. I recognize her as my best friend but she didn’t recognize me.
“ Who are you?”, she ask me something that I don’t want to hear.
“ I’m a depressed person”, I say this without thinking first.
“ I just have to do some homework that my devil teacher give me” I finally say
Many people insult me and her. But, I don’t care, she is my best friend right? I can see from her face that she is afraid of that situation. I just say “ Its okay”
To make sure that she is my friend, I ask her “Do you remember something in this cafeteria?” the answer is “Um.. When I was in elementary school, when I went to buy some food, my best friend do dine and dash, finally I’m the one that pay for many expensive food.” She say that. Finally she say that! That embarassing moment that I do.
“oh.. your friend is so rude, yea?” “Maybe..” she say with sad face
“Do you know why I become a beggar? My mother die because of that accident, when I pay for the food, someone took my wallet. All my money is there, the money I should buy my mother medicine, but It’s all gone” she is crying now.
“I’m so sad, that’s all my fault .. I am the worst!” I told myself
“Never mind about that miss, you are so lucky, you have parents, money, house, and you can go to school. You have never changed from the time you were in elementary school”
WHAAAAAT??????? So, She recognise ME !!? I’m so sad and pull her wrist, gave all of my money to her and run away from the cafeteria. I’m glad to meet her but I’m sad that she recognised me. I feel sorry to her and I promise to myself not to do “dine and dash” again
