Cute Hippo & Long Hippo

There were these two hippos.

One is “Cute” and the other was named “Long”.

Mysterious icon, they liked each other very much even though others didn’t realise of their relationship existence.

Cute loves literature while Long is always enjoying his tasteful world. He loves her very much and likewise with her.

She has a quick temper but often he bullies her. Though, he is a gentleman and always gives in to her.

Today, she's being wilful again (just simply as usual).

Her: "Is it OK if we spend the weekend together?"

Him: "I don't have time that day."

Her: "Humph!"

Him: "Huh?"

Her: "Don't have time?"

He stared away, ignoring her.

Her: "Humph! I don't care; you'll have the time for me!"

Him: "No."

Her: "Just this once?"

Him: "No."

Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."

First day, she withheld all communications with him except texting him to show her benevolence. Of course, she has to show a care of him. He still didn't mind as he is always in his own cool world (Writer sigh).

Second day, she conducted a raid and hid in muse. She rejects his calls and ignoring his messages. In ignorance, she thought to herself: “Let’s see how far you’re patience go”. He's nervous now. That night, he begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says, until he agrees.

Third day night, on the bed he's laying on the bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side.

Him: "We need to talk."

Her: "Unless it's about this weekend, forget it."

Him: "It's something very important."

She remains silent.

Him:"Let's split up."

(She did not believe her ears).

Him: "I got to know a girl and I’m leaving."

She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet.

Him: "She's a nice girl."

Her tears fell.

Him: "She has a good personality too."

(She's heartbroken because he wanted to leave and put some other girl close to his heart)

Him: "And she said that she likes me in my world of art & mysteries."

(She's very jealous because she said the same thing in the past).

Him: "She loves me truly."

(She wishes to sit up and scream at him "Don't I?")

Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do."

(She's thinking, but the rage won't subside).

He took his phone and said "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?"

Her: "...!" She ignored and looks away.

He sighs. She cries. She pulls her hand back under the blanket. He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns on the light, and sits up. He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets treating him the way she treated him.

She cried again, and thought about a lot of things. She wants to wake him up. She wants to have an intimate talk with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore. She stares at his phone. She wants to see how the girl looks.

She slips the phone and search for her picture. She wanted to cry and she wanted to laugh.

It's a nicely taken photo. A photo he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek.

He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep.

Long Hippo thought Cute Hippo learned that to love, not by finding a perfect person. But, by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
