He felt like everything around him stopped moving, the world stopped
revolving and the clock has stopped ticking.

"Laila…", With that specific name made his way out from Arman's
lips, he fell down onto the chair and could feel as if his mind went
blank and his heart stopped beating.

A Little Too Much

SYAMIMI BINTI SAPIA'E 2PISMP TESL 2

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process
of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are

special too.”

“Let’s break up,” Those words exploded in Mimi's ears, suffocating
and choking her until she realized she was choking back tears. She
kept staring at him as if she had just seen him for the first time with
those glassy eyes and suddenly, everything felt surreal. Jimin, a man,

could not imagine she would meet in real life. They had gone through a
lot, fighting and all but she never expects the tie between them would
be cut off into a dead end. The sentence 'I have someone else' was the
last thing that came across her mind and it only wrecked her heart

unstoppable tears as a company.



The truth was when she first met him, he was just another face to
her. But now, he was the only face she could ever find in crowded places.
The most beautiful part of all, she was not even looking when she found
him. It was killing her so bad that they went from lovers that vowed not to
leave each other's side to strangers who pretend like they had never met.
Mimi smiled wistfully amidst the streaming tears, she was all alone now
and – she was not strong enough to endure that.
