HER ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE A 'YES.'
___••___
I don't know but, time do really move rapidly when you're happy or when you're with the person you love.
One year ago today, I met her and the rendezvous we've been gave a nostalgic feeling.
I saw her being alone, sitting on the bleachers.
She doesn't know me back then when I approached and asked her why is she crying, but the lady just gave me an uninterested look and said, "I have no time to talk with a stranger."
I chuckled as a response and she gave me again her attention.
"We're classmates, right? I'm a transferee," I said and lend her my right hand but she ignored it.
I sat inches away from her.
"You know what, sometimes, it's okay to open up your problems with a stranger." I said without looking at her.
Seconds later, I saw her gazing at me using my peripheral vision.
"How can you say so?" she asked.
I looked at her eyes and said, "Because strangers doesn't know a single thing in your life, so they won't judge you."
We remained silent after I said those words but then broke as she said "I'm fine, I don't need someone to comfort me."
"Being fine is a lie. No one's fine, but rather good." I said, remembering the lines I've read on the book. "Your feelings can be controlled, but your tears never lie." I added.
She shared her problems with me after I stated those words, and now I know the reason behind her tears.
I asked her that time if I can stay a little bit longer so that she won't feel alone, and fortunately she said yes!
The day after that, I asked her if it's okay to befriend with her, and I think luck is on my side for she said yes!
So we've been friends for months and I remember what she said earlier that she's lucky cause' she found someone like me, but what she didn't know is that I'm more grateful because I met her.
She's thankful for I made her life filled with joy after what happened.
And I complete her, I guess.
Four months had passed, and the unexpected situation happened. I didn't know that it would be so hard to hide what you truly feel to a person you're close with.
I confessed my feelings about her. I told her everything that I like her since the beginning, but too scared to be rejected and it makes me more afraid knowing the reason why she was crying back then.
After the confession, guess what? I think I had a charmed life cause' she said she feels the same! And I'm probably the happiest man standing.
I asked her days later if I can court her and she accepts it, She said yes!
I courted her for six months and after that months I asked her these words "Will you be my girlfriend?" And the crowd went insane with full of clap and screams cause' finally, she said "Yes!"
Being with her and having her as my girl means a lot to me. She's my girl-bestfriend and my love of life at the same time. She's the only person who makes my heart flutter and the only person who can set some butterflies in my stomach.
She serves as my serenity when darkness engulf myself.
I gave her my words that I'll always be here whenever she needs someone to talk to or she needs comfort, I'll be by her side whenever she feels alone, and I'll do all things to make her happy and give her the love she deserves.
Even if picking the moon and stars or giving her the galaxy just to make her happy and feel like home with me, I would.
It's been a month and twenty-three days and I cherish every single day that I'm with her.
We're listening on each other's side, we became closer each day like no one can stop us for loving each other. Like even giants can't ruin the relationship we've built.
We planned our future together thinking that this would turn to forever. There's nothing wrong with manifestation.
We think about our marriage, I asked her if five years from now I'm still with the girl I met almost a year ago and she would wear the wedding dress and me as her groom, she said yes.
I asked her if it's okay to have a three or four children, she said yes. I was once dreamed of our wedding day, stating our wedding vows and we both eventually answered a yes.
All the things we planned, and if I asked her she'd always say yes.
We are happy together.
We're good, we're okay.
But not until this month, I can say that something's not right. I asked her if she's okay, yet she just gave me a yes.
I asked myself if I've done something wrong which makes her presence cold, but I remember nothing. I mean, I'm always happy when I'm with her and so as her when she's with me. I always gave my best to make her feel my worth.
But all of it just fade in a snap.
We're inside the cafeteria and she left her phone on the table, she said she'll go to comfort room.
Her phone suddenly vibrate, and I saw an unknown number with a text "I still love you."
Soon as I got my senses back, I returned into the reality I wish doesn't exist.
It's exactly Five-fifteen in the afternoon and I'm at the famous coffee shop in our town, with the girl I met one year ago.
Fifteen minutes had passed yet no one wants to break the silence.
I'm still looking at her with teary eyes.
She is Angelie, the girl who loved me. Yes you read it right, she loved me. But I kept asking myself if it's real or fake.
Did her feelings for me was genuine?
Did she really loved me or... just use me to move on?
I was there to comfort her when she had nothing.
I was there to catch her when she was moving on, but I wish I didn't.
She accepted me as her friend and a lover, and me without thinking that sooner it might end.
But don't worry cause' in the end, I'll be alright.
I decided to break the silence between us, but instead of asking her, if did she really loved me, I asked her-
"Do you still l-love him?"
I didn't expect that a single word could hurt you more than physical pain, and I don't need to guess what the answer is.
Because her answer will always be a yes.
