you jump.i jump(part 2)
"what are you doing here?"
my train of thought was suddenly.
and abrubtly interrupted by this sudden exclamation and outburst.
in fact.i was so surprised and shcoked that i almost fell off the edge.
Luckily.I managed to regain my balance in time.barely made it though.phew.
Though the irony was that it wouldn't have made any difference.Since eventually i was gonna jump anyway.
Yet somehow.For some reason beyond comprehension.
I felt this sudden anger rise up within me.
Because I knew my suicide attempt had most probably just been foiled completely.
Whoever the person behind me was.He or she was most probably not gonna let me jump off like that.
Here we go boys and girls.Here comes the negotiation and "Don't jump.I can help you" crap.
He or she is probably gonna talk about how life is beautiful and stuff.
How there are many things in life worth staying alive for.
How she wasn't the only girl in the entire world.And how probably someone better will come laong in future.
I can almost visualize it again.Ont he back page of the Shin Min Daily News.
Probably right beside an article about a middle aged family man being convicted for adultery.
The head lines will go something like this i guess.

"I said.What the heck are you doing here?"
Again.the same voice.a female one i realised this time round.
What the hell.My thoughts were interrupted again.
God.Can't I even think in peace?Not even at this time of the night?
Now.I am really pissed.
Almost immediately.I turned around and half shouted.
"i should be asking you that question.who the hell comes all the way up here at this time time of the night?do you know you are disturbing the quietness of this place and interrupting my thoughts again ang again?Can't a person even die in peace?!?"
It was at that point of time that I realised just how ridiculous my outburst sounded.
........
What the hell.It was too late anyway.whatever's said has been said.no use brooding about it.
Making eye contact with the owner of the voice at last.
I realised she was someone around the same age as me.Probably around 15 or 16 yrs old.
Long and silky straight hair.Carried sideways softly by the wind.
(Probably rebonded i guess.how many girls have naturally striaght hair nowadays.
But that wasn't the point.Her hair was usually long.almost reaching her hips.)
Half covering a rather stunned but certainly very surprised face.
(i don't blame her.it's not everyday you hear someone asking you to let him die in peace.)
A face that was neither special nor plain.
One that could not be described as good looking nor bad looking.
In short.She basically looked like the average girl next door.
However.It was not her facial features.But rather.
Her eyes.That caught my attention.
Even though she was wearing glasses.
I could see plainly that she had really big and beautiful eyes.And unusally long eyes lashes.
Kinda like the kind of eyes only girls in manga and anime have.Only that here was a real life example.
Which was probably the reason why.
Even though she was giving me the most bewildered and incredulous look with those eyes of hers right now.
My first impression of her was that she was a rather sweet and pleasant looking girl.
Not exceptionally pretty or beautiful.Just sweet and pleasant lookin-
"what did you say?did i hear correctly?"
damn.not again.i kinda feel like taking back my words.
"you said you were here to die?As in.Meaning that you are gonna jump down from here?"
Staring blanky back at her.and using the most matter of factly voice i could ever produced.I replied.
"yes.Do you have a problem with that?I was just about to jump down when you arrived and started your nonsensical questioning.Disturbing my thoughts and this peaceful surrounding.What kind of an idiot comes here at this time of the nigh-
Smack!
The slap was so hard.I could feel my ears ringing even after several seconds.
That's it.Now's she done it.If i have to kill someone before i kill myself.I will kill her first!
But just as i was about to begin shouting and blowing my top at her.
She spoke.
In a rather quiet and sad voice.
"I'm sorry.I didn't know why I did that.But i really didn't expect anyone to be up here.Not at this time anyway.And i definitely didn't expect you to be up here for the same reason as me.Guess we are in the same boat."
It took a while for her words to finally hit me.But when it did.All I could say was.
"Meaning that you actually came up here to...."
"Yes."she replied softly.
"I came up here to jump too."
