-YOUR POV-
YN: "One margarita, please.", I said to the bartender after I just sat in one of their tall wooden and quite comfortable chairs in front of their bar stool.
The bartender nodded as he complies to my request and went away to get me the drink that I'm desiring to have right now, to use it as a way to ease my broken heart tonight after what I encountered a while ago after going to this bar.
My girlfriend decided to broke up with me. Well the reason was that after the entire time being in our relationship, I wasn't enough for her. I was fooling myself the entire time believing that we mutually feel the same for each other.
But I was wrong.
I wasn't notified at all that it was me being a failure and a disappointment who is destroying all my precious hopes and plans not only in our present but in our future too.
I don't know, but instead of pointing my anger that I feel inside my heart towards her... I just lead it and throw it all at myself. I blame myself for everything. If it wasn't me for well... it would her to this decision... to us finaly seperating from each other as we both go on to our own ways.
She being in love and much happier with someone else she already replaced for me while I'm here left alone wondering if there would be someone who would care to love despite knowing how I would just might fail to reach their expectations towards me.
Anyways, for now I don't much care thinking about it tonight. All I want tonight is to lessen this pain and guilt that I feel first before my body gives up on this day and move on to another moment of floating into deep thoughts on what would be the next for me.
The bartender gave me the margarita I ordered from him, which is flowing back and forth inside the crystal wineglass as he passes it through me. I mouthed a thank you to him before he replies with his appreciation on my remark.
I sipped it and felt my throat burning with the elements of this alcohol. As I was about to let myself be pulled out into the reality, the rest of the customers started to clap on to something.
Picking up my curiosity, I followed where that could be and my eyes landed on a stage where a very beautiful and such elegant looking lady was sitting in a womanly posture on a chair, with a mic hanging just right equally at her level. She was smiling through the crowd as her way to wait for the music to start.
There it is, the speakers started to play a warm and smooth rhythm in the background and she took it as a cue to finally start her performance. She started to sing and holy gracious, her voice makes me feel like we got teleported into heaven in a matter of second.
Don't cry, snowman, not in front of me
Who'll catch your tears if you can't catch me, darling
If you can't catch me, darling
Don't cry, snowman, don't leave me this way
A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby
Can't hold me close, baby
The way she sings it makes me can tell that she's literally feeling it, because it easily already gets me. The softness and the way she smoothly touches the notes with every lines she releases out from her mouth makes me stare at her as I watch her flawlessly continuing her performance.
I want you to know that I'm never leaving
'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on, let's go
Let's go below zero and hide from the sun
I love you forever where we'll have some fun
Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily
Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby
My snowman and me
My snowman and me
Baby
The song has ended after a few more minutes and the crowd clapped again, which I joined this time because I was so intrigued and impressed at this lady's performance. She gently bowed to us and released a very small smile.
I turned my head back at my drink and continued to drink it until it was nothing left. With my stamina still cursing very alive in my body, ready to take much more alcohol; I ordered another one to the bartender.
I picked up my wallet from my pocket and about to pull some coins and bills inside of it when suddenly my clumsy ass self unintentionally dropped it.
The coin then rolled to left and when I was about to catch it, my hand stopped mid air as the coin finally stopped rolling because it bumped onto something: somebody's wrist.
I slowly looked up and in my shock, it was the lady who was performing earlier at the stage. She picks up the coin beside her wrist.
Mina: "Oh. I believe this is yours.", she said. She lend me back my coin.
YN: "Yeah, thanks.", I answered. I placed the coin on top of the bill and finally gave it to the bartender which he also gave me my another glass of margarita.
Mina: "One mojito, give it some lime too please.", the lady said beside me. The bartender followed and prepared her order. I looked to her and mustered up the courage to talk to her because she is the only person in this bar right now who is familiar to me.
YN "You were the one on the stage, right?"
Mina: "I am."
YN: "You sang really well."
Mina: "T-Thanks.", she said and gave me a smile which I returned back because I couldn't just ignored at how cute she looked when she did that. It made me unable to resist it.
Since she's now very close to me, I can see her clearly even more. She's definitely beautiful. Her white dress perfectly hugs her curvy body and blends up very well to her unearthly beauty. Her long black curvy hair that is hanging steadily behind her back. Those moles that forms like a pattern around her nose and lips contributes more to her looks.
Not to mention her voice, it's just a pure melody. Even though she isn't singing anymore, it's still music to my ears. Her soft, majestic and pleasant soft pitched vocal was another thing that was given to her as a gift from the gods.
YN: "I'm YN, by the way.", I said and gave her my hand for a handshake. I noticed that she stared at it for a second before she slowly accepted it. Not gonna lie it felt awkward and embarassing in my part. Can't blame her, what I did was too sudden.
Mina: "Mina.", she reveals her name.
YN: "Nice to meet you, Mina.", I smiled. I started to take a sip at my second round of margarita. "Thanks also to your soothing voice by the way, it somehow made myself calm."
Mina: "No problem, I guess.", she shrugged and chuckled softly.
YN: "How long have you been singing in this bar?"
Mina: "I just sang here first time.", that made me let out an "oh?". "The owner who's my friend said she was offering any customer who's willing to perform in the stage today, and I accepted.", she paused for a second when the bartender gave the mojito with lime to her. "Just felt wanting to sing, you know."
YN: "Well, that's great. You do have such a great voice. Perfect enough to be a singer."
Mina: "I dream of becoming one but I gave it up one day. But, do you see me as that really?
YN: "Yeah. For sure everyone could acknowledge the same as mine too.", I nodded. Mina smiled sheepishly.
Mina: "What brings you here?", she took her first sip at her drink.
YN: "Something terrible.", I sighed and shook my head as I recall again my most hated moment so far in my life.
Mina: "Care to share?", she looked at me worriedly.
YN: "Heartbreak.", my face is now defining what a bittersweet feeling means. "My GF just left me a while ago. Came here to wind down myself."
Mina: "Is that so? We do have a common then.", I looked at her curiously. "I went here with an exact experience, but I was the one who did it.", she chuckled. I can audibly hear the cracks on her voice. Probably she also feels hurt right now.
