A short story to share.
We were both young when we met, at age of 10. We were never close nor get along well. It was 12 when you start following my footsteps before I even realized. Till when I'm 13, you told me that you like a girl. I guess the name of the girl. Never came across my mind that it will be me, but it just happen this way. I was shocked and walked away. You came back telling me that you might one day die for this girl. I kept silent. The day after, I forgot about this as you are never a serious person. Then you came to tell me to forget what you had said. And I did it.
Six months after your confession when things seems to be fade away, I heard things from friends that you think my eyes were pretty. You are afraid too look at my eyes as you scare you will fall for me. That moment I realized you might still like me. And at the same time, I did fell for you. You came to tell me you have a new target, a new girl that you like. I was sad but still keeping a slight hope that it was me. Like before, I guess the name of the girl, but this time you never tell me who it was. Instead, you tell my close friend who it was. It was actually me. I was really happy that time yet I didn make a move forward. You told my friend a story, a magnet story, that no matter how two magnets trying to be pull apart, they will always be attracted and goes back together. No matter how hard, it will goes back together, attraction forces, referring to your feeling towards me.
And you told my friend too that wherever you walk, you will meet me just so coincidentally. I didn realized. When I heard this, I do start to count the time we meet coincidentally. And to my surprise, it was true =) Each time when I reach sch, I see you walking in front of me. Just each time. Each time I went to toilet, you will be at the other end of the class, coming out the same time as I was. Each time I walk at a corridor, you will be walking at some corridor at upper level. I remember I did the counting and it was almost a hundred times.
Yet, this year ends without anything happen.
We were then 14. A new starting of school and my feelings toward you was no longer there after two months of sch break. It thought what happening between us was just a crush. And I have new a crush with this guy and you always tease me with him. We went for a trip together. You were so close with my friend and weirdly, I got jealous. At night, we went for a walk together with all others. They were so busy with their shopping and we have this moment together. It was raining. My head got drip with water and you pulled me aside. I rmber the way you look at me very well, you look at me very deep. I can see through your eyes that you still have this feeling for me. And I know too, I fell for you again. After that night, I got sick. Heal from sick and it was back to our normal day again.
At 15, we were just like normal friends. Now, we always have activities together. You were the leader of my team. We spent most of the evening together. There was once you were sick and I got really concern. I get medicine for you. Then you was afraid that you wasn't a good leader and I tried to convince. But it didn work out. I felt disappointed that I wasn't the one who can cheer you up. I have some feelings for you but I guess it is just not the case for you. And I let go.
At 16, we went for a sch trip. This time you sat with me in the bus. You burned song that I wanted so much. So, we share the same walkman and hear the song for the whole journey. During the night, we have a dinner. I dressed in white dress. I came out from my room and you were looking at me with some mesmerize looks. I can never forget because this feeling is the best feeling ever. I'm totally convinced that I look good with the way you look at me. But later, I have a crush toward a guy I meet at this trip. The feeling with you was disconnected again. I always though we were just friend.
At 17, things were all usual. Our status was friend. No feelings, I'm sure till an event. You screwed something in that event. You was so afraid, so afraid. So, we managed to settle thing by the help of many ppl. When that trouble was settle, you came to me and give me a big hug. I was very shocked. I look at you and asked are you okay. You told you were and walked away. When you hugged me, my heart beats very fast. And because of this hug, I know very well I will be forever stuck with you. For I have fell for you again and again, for so many times and all these years. From that hug, I could tell. Months later, in my friend hse, you were there as well. A song play out and you sang to me. It was the first song you sang to me. And till now, that song is heart warming. In the time later, I decided to tell you how I feel. And I did.
And what I found out is all these years, you were trying so hard to be friend with me. All these years, you were still loving me from the first day you confessed. You thought I didn't have the same feeling toward you.
In the end, we are finally together after 5years of puzzling.
From the story: You will never know who you fall in love with. In time, you may think that this person wasn't the one. But you will just never know. If you do not believe in yourselves. Believe in your feelings. If you could fall in love with a person again and again. Then, it's no longer crush. It must have been love. No crush could last longer than years. And waiting is just wasting time. You never know how the other person feel if you never make a move.
