“Just because it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it!”
This is the story about a girl who had crush on a guy.
They stayed in Alfalfa, Pare, Kediri, East Java.
She saw him for the first time in the Public Speaking Class two weeks ago. It was raining, and the weather was so gloomy. Her days had been blue. When she first noticed his existence among those people, she thought, “Who is that??”
…and that how she began to spend her days with all of hope seeing him in her afternoon class.
She always met him in afternoon class. It was kinda fun class when she could enjoy the class and watch him at the same time. That is why afternoon class became her favorite one, beside big class and public speaking class.
She got her first conversation class on Saturday. She wished she could get him as her partner to talk in every conversation class, but… it was just a hope…
There’s one thing about him that has attracted her the most. His hair. His nice thin, and straight black hair. She would imagine running her fingers through his clean-cut hair, burry her fingers deep and gently pull the hair.
They talked once, just at introduction class. He’s an ice block. Because she’s too shy, she never has ability to break the ice.
Then, on sunny Thursday morning, she heard that he would come back home. She did anything to get his phone number and asked him to meet up. And finally….
Thursday, 17.50, at the food stall.
She said, “I wanna say something to you…”
He turned to her and said, “What do you wanna talk?”
She started to talk, “So listen, this your last day in Pare and after this you will come back home. You will not be here anymore. Before you leave, I just want to tell you something. You don’t’t have to say or do anything, or even react. Just listen. Okay?”
“Okay”
She took a deep breath and said, “I have been really attracted to you…”
She looked relax, but she actually couldn’t even look at his eyes.
She said, “I think… you have nice hair. Nice thin and straight black hair..”
He looked at her very surprised and said, “Oo really? How come?”
“Yeah because from the first time I saw you in Public Speaking Class two weeks ago. You looked so different, and I really liked your hair.”
He smiled. For about two seconds, they looked at each other in silence. Both of them seemed pretty surprised.
She breathed out. “There. I said it!”
“Anyway, when will you come back home?”, he asked.
“It will be on 31st July then I’ll go back…”
“Hmm…”
“Thank you for listening.” She smiled at him. She felt fine.
He said, “Emm no. I thank you… Emm well, I gotta go now. Someone will take me to the station.”
“Ooh ya.. Sure. Pretty much thank you. Nice to meet you,”
“My pleasure. Enjoy your break fasting anyway. Nice too meet you too…”
She walked very fast into the food stall, didn’t even dare to look back. She smiled and said to herself, “This is the proudest thing of my life.”
She had a crush on this guy.
She told him about it.
She doesn’t expect anything from him.
She doesn’t even care.
But that was just relieving.
She doesn’t have anything to lose.
But she just really enjoys herself being honest.
