Day by day, I tried my best to move on and forget about him. My routine everyday is working, come home and sleep. I try to live my life the same as before I met Pol. Know it's gonna be hard but I have to try.  

"Ai Arm. Join us at the bar tonight. Don't act like an old man who just stay at home and doing nothing. Can you stop being like this? That asshole will not come back to you. He probably got  married to that girl.", I was stunned when Tay mentioned Pol name but I act like I didn't heard him.

"Too lazy.", I shortly replied.

"Hey. You're not working tomorrow. Why not having drinks with me tonight? Please... Na na?"

Tay keep begging me and making a cute face. I rolled my eyes and finally agreed. Maybe I should try to go out sometimes. As we reached the bar Tay hold my hand and drag me along to a table which some of his friends already arrived. They pour some of the alcohol into a small glass and give it to me.

"Sorry, I'm late."

I lifted my head to see a guy with a ponytail come approached our table. He's also looking at me.

What? Is there something on my face?

"Hey, Big. It's okay. Come sit.", Tay said.

The guy smiled and casually sit besides me. I don't know why but there's another empty seats next to their other friend but why he chose to sit besides me?

Tay and his friends are talking and laughing. I didn't talk at all and just keep drinking the alcohol. Suddenly the guy name Big talked to me.

"I'm Big. What's your name?"

I looked at him and pointed at myself. He smiled and nodded.

"Arm."

He repeated my name. "Nice name."

Is he trying to flirt me? I slightly smile.

"We've met before. Remember?"

We did? I was confused.

He chuckled when I showed him my confused expression. "We did. We ran into each other at the university long time ago."

I tried to recall. "Oh! It was you."

"Yes.", He said.

"Sorry. I didn't recognize it was you."

"It's okay. Now you know."

I slightly nodded. He just kept staring at me. I know but I just ignore him. 

Suddenly my phone buzzed. Unknown number.

'Hye, Arm. How are you? I hope you're okay. Did you find a new boyfriend? I hope you did. I would be so worried if you didn't. Take care na. I love you.'

I hold my fist tightly. I deleted the message from him. I know it's Pol. Who else if it's not him. Shut off my phone and pour another alcohol into my glass. I'm so mad right now. How dare him to say that to me? After he dumped me? How could him?

After another glass, I took another one. Tay and Big already looking at me with their worried face.

"Arm. That's too much.", Tay said.

"Right. Take it easy.", Big said after that.

"It's okay. I can take it.", I replied.

I don't know how many glasses I have. All I remember was me got drunk then passed out. When I wake up I'm already in my bed.

"You've woke up?", Tay came in with a bowl of congee and a cup of warm tea. He put it on the table besides my bed.

My head suddenly feel spinning. Of course it's hurt alot. Damn it! I was really wasted last night wasn't I?

"You're really wasted last night. Fortunately Big offer to take you home. If not, I don't know how to drag you alone to our room."

Big?

Ugh! My head hurts. Now I regret drinking alot last night.

Tay shook his head. "Just eat first and rest for a while. When you're alright let's go watch movie at the cinema. The movie I wanted to watch already released yesterday. I plan to watch it with Time but he said he's busy. I don't want to miss it so I decided to watch it with you."

I just nodded. After eating the congee Tay give me I took a shower then wear something simple but neat. As we arrive at the mall we head off to the third floor where the cinema is. 

"Walk faster Arm. Quick! Quick!"

Tay grab my hand and drag me with him. I don't know why this friend of mine is too excited. What movie that makes him acts like this?

"Hey, Tay."

We were about to buy the tickets when suddenly Big and his friend come to greet us.

"Hey, Big. Ken.", Tay said.

"You guys come to watch the movie too?", Big asked.

"Yes. We wanted to watch the one that just come out yesterday."

"Hey! What a coincidence. Ken and I come to watch that one too."

"Great! We should watch together."

Big smiled and nodded. He shifted his eyes to me. I quickly looked away. He did that since last night.

"Let's buy the ticket.", Tay said.

"Erm. You and Ken buy the tickets. I'll go buy the popcorn with Arm."

I was a little shocked when suddenly Big mentioned my name. I know Tay silently smiling. Tay immediately nodded and leave with Ken to the ticket counter.

"Let's go Arm. Why are you standing still there?"

I looked at Big who's already walked a few steps away from me. Err... Should I go with him? I can wait here, right?

"Or do you want me to carry you?"

Gosh. Is he threatenings me? Fine!

"Hey! Crazy. Fine I'll come."

Big teasingly smiled at me. We are waiting our turn to buy the popcorn.

"You got really drunk last night. Are you okay now?", Big suddenly asked.

I nodded and shortly replied. "Okay."

"Are you usually like this?"

"Like what?"

"Your face. You look bored. Or is there something happened?"

"No."

"See! I asked you like more than ten words but you just answered me shortly. "

I let out a sigh. "No. I'm just not in mood. Maybe the effect from last night."

"Really?"

"Yes! Now go buy the popcorn.", I slightly pushed him forward when the person Infront of us done buying their popcorn.

Thanks God! If not he might ask me more.

Later at night, I was laying on my bed when suddenly my phone buzzed. It's an unknown number.

'Hey, Arm. It's Big.'

'Where did you get my number?'

'Sorry. I secretly asked for your phone number from Tay.'

That Tay! Just you wait.

'It's okay.'

'Are you free tomorrow? Would you go eat lunch or dinner with me?'

'Not sure.'

'You're working at the book store right? I'll come get you on your lunch break.'

How did he know my schedule? It's must be Tay! Ai Tay!!

'Hey. I don't think I have time.'

'Good night na. See you tomorrow.'

"Alaiwa. He doesn't listen at all."

The next day, I don't know why I keep waiting for lunch break hour to come quickly. My thoughts are not in peace and keep looking at the door.

Damn! Am I waiting for Big to really come?

Shia, Arm!

Get rid of the thought immediately!!

I walked to the book shelf to arrange the books. Actually these days, I have forget about Pol a little bit. I can't deny that sometimes some things will reminds me of him but not as often as before. I know, sooner or later I have to forget him and should move on from him completely.

"Phi Arm. Someone's looking for you."

"Who?"

"I don't know."

I leave my work and go to the front. I saw Big is standing Infront of the counter.

"Big."

He smiled at me. "So. Are you free for lunch?"

He really did come.

"I.."

"Yes! He is free for lunch."

Suddenly Porchay interrupt. This kid!

"Chay!"

Porchay grinned and give me a sign to just go. He slowly pushed me towards Big.

"Just go. It's your lunch break anyway. Go!"

I looked at Big who's keep smiling since then. I slightly sighed.

"Er! Er! I'll go."

Big's smile become wider.

"Just nearby.", I said.

Big nodded. "That will do."

Big and I go at the nearby restaurant. We're just done ordering our food and wait for it to be served.

"Are you usually come to eat here?", Big asked.

I nodded. "Usually I come here for lunch."

"Alone or with someone?"

"With someone."

I paused. Suddenly Pol come into my thoughts. Right. I came here often with Pol. Everytime it's my lunch break he will come and take me to eat here. How can I forget that this is one of the place that actually will reminds me of him?

"Oh. Who is it? Friend or someone special?"

Someone special? More than special.

"Forget it. Not an important person."

I immediately stop the conversation. I have to or else it will ruins the mood.

Big didn't said anything anymore. The atmosphere suddenly turns awkward. Fortunately the waiter served our foods.  We start to eat and Big asked me some random questions about me such as family, how long have I worked at the book store and ect. Sometimes he will make some random jokes which makes me laugh.

For some reason, I completely forget about Pol that time.
