A Hurted Heart
Chapter 2: Complication of Love
Marlene lays on her bed.
'oh my God...' thought her. 'I can't believe I just did it...
And the truth is I don't love Antonio! But I must, at
least for several weeks...'
She rolls to her side. 'However, this is Skipper's fault! I'
m not guilty at all! I've refused him, but he still
chasing me!'. She sighs. 'oh well, I just breaking his
heart... Maybe he will be angry for weeks...'
She sighs again, then she decides to take a sleep.
Next morning, Marlene thinks about it again. 'well,
maybe it's not a bad idea to visit him...' thought her.
Then she walks to the penguin habitat and find Private,
Rico, and Kowalski.
"Hello, guys!" said her.
"well, hi, Marlene." said Kowalski.
"good morning, Marlene!" said Private.
Rico waves his flipper.
Marlene looks around. She can't find Skipper anywhere.
"well... May I meet Skipper?" ask her to Kowalski.
"well... He is... Er... He can't meet anyone today,
Marlene" said Kowalski. This morning, Skipper asked
Kowalski to don't let Marlene meet him. And - well -
he must do it.
"but... Is he okay?" ask Marlene. However, she can't let
her friend if he's sick.
"yes, he is." said Kowalski.
"okay. Well, see you later, guys!" said Marlene, walks
back to her habitat.
"see you!" said Kowalski, then he enters the h.q to
meet Skipper.
"what did she said?" ask Skipper, drinks his morning
fishcoffee.
"she wanted to meet you, but I said you can't meet
anyone today, she asked are you okay, and I said yes."
said Kowalski.
"good." said Skipper. "okay, let's start our training
today."
Marlene swims around the pool in her habitat. She still
can't forget Skipper's shocked face. 'oh Lord... Maybe I
would asking sorry to him...' thought her. She feels
guilty again. 'But it's still his fault!' thought her, trying
to wipe off the guilty feeling.
That afternoon, after the smile-and-wave activity,
Skipper sits alone on the edge of the platform.
He sighs. 'how can she did that? I always thought that
she's cute, naive, and innocent... That's why I love her.
But, now?' thought him, and he sighs again. 'I wrote
those poetics by myself - well, Private taught me at
first time - but what is the usefulness of them? She
tried to break my heart, and she's success, and almost
killed me.'
Then he remembered about a moment in the sewer,
when he hugged Marlene for the first time. He smiles,
althought his heart felt painful. He can't forget it. It's
one of the best moments in his life. But, still, his
heart felt like hell when he remember that.
He sighs. 'maybe this is what people said. A love that
not to own.' thought him. He knows that, deep inside
his heart, he still loves her. Althought she tore his
heart apart, he can't forget her. He sighs again. 'this is
too hard...'
That evening, Antonio comes to her habitat.
"Why, honey? You looked sad..." said Antonio.
Marlene shakes her head. "nothing. I just feel a little
guilty. " said her.
"because of what?" ask Antonio, worried.
"it's too hard to say in words." said her.
Antonio takes his Spanish guitar at his back. "maybe a
song can make your heart feel better." said him.
He starts playing his Spanish guitar and sing a Spanish
song. Marlene doesn't know what song is that, but the
tone is very beautiful - and sad.
She remembered about a time, when she and Skipper
just meet Roger for the first time, and just go out
from the sewer.
"everytime I'm going to enter the sewer again, I hope
Marlene will be at my side..." said Skipper, smiles. A
charming smile.
"that's so sweet... I think..." said her.
She sighs. 'He had ever helped me a lot... How could I
destroy our friendship... Maybe I should ask for his
pardon...' thought her.
"are you okay, honey?" ask Antonio. The song already
finished.
"yeah... I think I need to be alone now... Can you leave
me, honey?" ask Marlene.
"well... Sure..." said Antonio, walks out from her cave. "bye!"
Marlene waves her paw, and quickly falls asleep on her bed.
Next morning, she go to the h.q. There's no one inside it.
"hello? Does anybody here?" ask her, through the fishbowl entrance.
'well, maybe they're taking some snowflakes...' thought her.
"Skipper? You there?" ask her.
Skipper is drinking his morning fishcoffe while Marlene said his name. His team are taking some snowflakes. He chokes.
'what does she want? Destroy my heart completely?' thought him. But he meets her, on the platform.
"what do you want?" ask Skipper.
"well... I..." she's stuttering, "I... I... want...". She sighs. "just forget it!" said her, runs back to her habitat, holding her tears.
Skipper watches her worrily.
