So, Friday around 15:00 o clock I was viewing the forums and the last thing I did was to update the bracket, after that I had to go to the univesity.
While I was riding the train I was thinking about my father and kept doing some deep thinking about life in general, so I was kinda distracted and wasnt paying any real attention to any of my actions.
My stop was next so I went near the doors to be ready to get off. As soon as the train stopped and the doors opened, I rushed out , and I bumped upon a girl, and I think I bumped her really hard , so when I tried to apologize, she replied with this "Damn you all fascists, all big and dumb" (I was wearing a RAC&A hoodie *Rock Against Communism & Anarchism*). Me being in a hurry, didnt pay any attention to her insult and kept walking towards the university.
I arrive all grumpy and shit, wishing that the day ends as fast as possible, just so I could go home (keep in mind that you get a 10 day personal leave from your job if one of your parents die, so I had plenty of free time which was bad give the circumstances), listen to some metal and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the weekend.
I enter the classroom and I sit at my desk all silently.
As soon as my university buddies notice me, they come close and start teasing me, they kept asking me why I was looking like shit, and where was I the last couple of days (wasn`t attending classes).
I told them politely to leave me alone because I wasnt really in the mood, so they left me alone.
During the lesson, all I could think of was, what if I had tried to make amends with my father and tried to improve our relation instead of being negative towards him, sure he wasnt the best father , but still, he was my father after all.
I decide to stop thinking about it, because having guilts aint gonna bring him back nor gonna change anything, so I start thinking about that stupid bitch that called me a fascist earlier, I kept thinking two things, first that she was kinda cute, and second that I wish I could start a political conversation with her, so I could prove her two things, that I`m not a fascist/nazeest, and why I despise communists.
Around 18:30 I receive an sms from my best bud, asking me if I want to go with him to the island of Crete, TODAY with the midnight ship, for his brother`s sudden wedding, I reply to him to fuck off and stop trolling me .
Even though I knew his brother was engaged, he never mentioned a wedding before, so I figured he was trying to troll me / cheer me up, so after my reply he calls me back, and he is swearing that its for real, and that his brother is going to get married at the town hall (atheists) this Sunday, and only his family will be present, and he wants me to be there aswell.
I try to make my way out of it, but he kept insisting that it will do me good to do something else than being miserable . Although all I could think of was why people can`t leave me alone, I accept his invitation with heavy heart , so I make my way back home.
I arrive home, and I pack a bag with some clothes to wear, and then I go to bed to get some sleep while waiting for my asshole friend.
We drive to the port, and around 23:20 we get on board and we park the car on the deck, we make our way on the economy class seats (we are poor
) and we sit .
We have a small talk and then I start listening to some music .
I close my eyes hoping that I`d get some sleep , its a 6 hour trip after all. Around 02:00 o clock I wake up because I wanted to take a piss so I head to the nearest toilets, I piss , I wash my hands and then I get out a bit to have a look at the sea, but it was too cold so I got back inside instantly.
Having just entered the economy class seats, my look goes to a girl on the back, she was awake doing something on her laptop, I focus a bit more, and I couldnt fucking believe in my eyes, it was the girl who insulted me some hours earlier.
I man up enough, and I decide to go and "greet" her, maybe do some political schooling to her, so I start walking towards her until I was like half a meter away from her and then I froze, I chickened out, and just as I was ready to turn and get back to my seat, she notices me me and says "oh, the big dumb fascist", I`m totally frozen and I can`t say a fucking word to her, the only thing my genius mind can do, is to make a stupid smile on my face, like I was glad being called dumb fascist .
Awkward silence for like 4-5 seconds (more like centuries
) with me having that stupid rapist smile on my face. and then she comes back with another outstanding quote "Why are you standing there smiling, are you going to hit me because I insulted you?" she says.
And once again my genius mind betrays me and I reply with a stupid "cool" wannabe macho man quote
"Nah, you`re too small for me"!!!!!
Thank god she though I was joking and she laughed (thanks a lot brain) , but on the other hand when I saw her laughing I manned up again, and said to her , "You know, its not nice to judge people from a hoodie" and then she replied something that I cant exactly remember, and then I told her if she wanted to grab a coffee with me at the cafeteria, and maybe have a political conversation with me.
We sit at a table, and we order.
I ask her name, "Nikoleta" she says, when she told me the name I was shocked, because her name is the female version of my fathers name, Nikolaos.
I don`t mention a thing about my dad yet, and we proceed to discuss about politics .
I`m not gonna bore you with that shit though, and I`ll skip this part.
After our political debate ended, I started asking her personal questions, which oddly enough she was more than glad to answer, she told me that her family is from Crete and she studies in Athens, so I ask her why is she going back home , I figured it had to be something else, since holidays just ended.
And the reason was that her dad had passed away as well a couple of days ago.
When I heard that, I chuckled because I though that if god was real, he was trying to troll me for sure, she asked me why I laughed about her fathers death, so I started telling her about my week and how I ended up being on the ship to Crete
To sum it up
1.She had my dads name,
2. Our dads passed away at the same week with only a day difference,
3.Athens metro has like 80 stops and we bumped on each other on that specific station while I was getting off , 4.And then we were on the same ship going at the exact destination, sitting at the same part of the ship
We kept talking for almost 4 hours, and then I had to go and wake my friend up because we were near the port.
All I could think of was to ask her , her phone number so I could go on a date with her, but all I could think of was, Nah she will never go out with me, and then the unexpected happened!!! SHE OFFERED ME HER NUMBER!!!
And we have a date this saturday night
I`m so happy my fellow c-rpg nerds, that if things go as I hope, I`ll stop bashing 2handers!!!!
