The Truth

Cafѐ

It was the end of school. I can't wait to see Colin again.. I hurriedly walk to the tree outside of school, because he said he'll be waiting there.

............................ (play the music media now)

He was there. I looked at him.. He was so perfect. I just couldn't resist his face. He's too much for me.. His smile just lit up my world of darkness..

My heart beated faster as I aprroached him. 

Me: So, shall we go now?

Colin: Yeah, by the way, you got speed.. I like speed.

Me: Well, we better hurry. The shop might be packed.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed my hand, and we hurried to the cafe.. I didn't see that coming.

Me: Whoa, told ya..

Colin: My bad..

Me: Never mind. We'll wait. The line's not even long though.

He ordered his favourite and I ordered mine.

Then, we walked out of the cafe. I guessed it's the end.

Colin: Mind if I walk you home? Please?

Me: Okay, if you INSIST..

As we walked and talked, our conversation just got better..

.................................................

Colin: So, I guess, you're home.

Me: Yeah.. Wanna come in?

Colin: No, thanks.

Me: K. *turns to walk away

Colin: Wait. *holds Wani's hand

Me: *turns back, pauses

Colin: May I, at least, have your number? I could give you a call if you need me or anything.

Me: Sure. *gives number

Colin: Bye, Wani.

Me: Bye.

Athira's POV:

 'Whoa she really does looks happy.'

Wani didn't realize Brad and I were there in the living room the whole time she grinned like a crazy woman.

Me:Oi, bahagia nampak?

Wani: Uish, korang. Terkejut aku. Korang ni..

Brad: Busted. We saw everything.

Wani: What? You guyyyyyyss..

Brad: So how's your date?

Wani: It's not a date.

Me: Ala, Wani. Cakap jelah kau suka.. Tak nak mengaku pulak. Malu-malu..

Brad: Hahaha! Tell us about it..

Wani: Arrggh.. takde. Aku nak mandi. Bye!  *walks to room upstairs

So now, we're alone. Just the both of us... Bradley and I. Then, he broke the silence.

Brad: What're you gonna tell me earlier in school?

Me: What? When?

Brad: You were.

Me: Err.. It's nothin.

Brad: Okay.

Actually there was I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't. I was just too scared. I thought this wasn't the right time. I wanted to say that I had the kind of feelings that Wani had towards Colin. I wondered if he felt the same way as I do. Maybe he didn't realize that, all this time. I bet I'll just wait.  

............................

Wani: Tada! Korang.. Cantik tak aku?

Me: Mengadalah kau.

Brad: Hurmm...

I should've felt worried if Brad was going to say Wani's pretty. But I did..

Brad: Nah, ugly. BAHAHAHAHA!

Wani: Jahat gila, kau.

Brad: She said what, Athira?

Me: She said she's fine with it.  

I thought it's best to lie. He couldn't understand Bahasa Malaysia either.

I promise I'll tell him.. I promise..
