Why do you love me?

Chapter five: Letting go

             It been about three days after the death of Eletrica and my ship. We've decided to go to the beach to have a proper burial ceremony, it took about few hours for us to get to the beach by bus. We even wore all black, suited for the occasion. Jaiden carried an entire stack of Eletrica adventure comic, and I put in the effort of buying a small wooden ship model and colouring it with a small pink heart with the initials of my favourite ship name.

         We stood in front of the ocean with our face pale from the sadness, some people may ask why we are doing something like this but it's worth it. We put down both of our offerings on the sand, just right before the sea water reaches it.

        "Let's send off our loved ones after we've travelled here for so long by bus," I said in a gloomy tone while standing next to Jaiden.

       "Totally worth it," he said, still looking depressed, he looked at the entire stack of comics he have, "Eletrica was the best girl I've read in comics," he said, as he started taking out a picture of Eletrica out from his suit, looking at it with sadness, "she was my hero with her braveness, and I will miss her electric puns like 'are ya energized?' 'and 'I gotta recharge', but now I'll send ya off to a place where ya can't go while ya are still alive."

            He must be sad over it, he spent at least about a year or more from the amount stack of comics he brought. I gave him the look of sympathy, before I saw him lifting up the entire stack of the comics right above his head, while screaming on top of his lungs, "GOODBYE!"

        He threw the comic into the ocean, as I just stared at him worried, "uhh, Jaiden, you polluted the---"

        "HEY!"

       Then, I saw some people trying to chase us, as I quickly grabbed the wooden ship and ran with Jaiden together. It was probably the most panicked moment I had in my life especially with those people just glaring at us angrily, I know it's not right, but at that moment, who wouldn't had run away? 

       After a while running, we managed to hide in between two boulders as they walked around trying to find us. I could hear them screaming asking about our whereabouts, and it was quite scary, but I guess Jaiden is more used to this than I am judging by his calm look. As the people finally left, I let out a breath of gladness and finally talked to him, "I thought you were just going to put it there or burn it."

         "That ain't nuff."

       Jaiden wiped the sweat off his forehead, and he started looking front, like he saw something he loved. I didn't understand what that meant at first, and was about to ask him to leave, "let's go Jaiden---"

        Then, he started taking off the tie and coat he was wearing, as his eyes sparkled and I turned behind to see a beautiful ocean. Knowing this guy, I can't stop him, yet I still tried grabbing him before he jumped down. It was while he was walking he was ready to take off his shirt too.

        "Screw going back, look at duh OCEAN!" He shouted.

      He kept on pushing front and I kept pulling him, if he jumps down, it's going to take a while before we go back, and so I tried to convince him, "have you never go to the beach before?!"

       "Mah old man doesn't allow me too!"

        "THE WATER IS SUPER SALTY, DON'T GO! WE ARE GOING TO RIDE THE BUS!"

         He managed to escape my pull as he took off his shirt, screaming, "SCREW IT!" And jumped down ignoring my warning that we are going to ride the bus. A huge splash was formed the moment he jumped down as I wondered what did I get myself into?
