It’s been years since I last met him. But I’m still here, hoping and dreaming that one day, he will choose me.
One morning, a man is waving at me by my window pane. He was tall like Alfredo, by looking at his stature, he seems like an attorney.
“I’m sorry for bothering you, but I lost my way to the municipal hall. Can you help me? ” I was hesitant at first because I don’t know him.
“Okay, but why do need to go there?” I asked but I already left and went to him. He looks like Alfredo but the only difference is that he has a mole under his left eye that adds to his charisma.
“I'm the newly assigned attorney to the municipal. I need to meet the mayor”.
The municipal hall is not far from our house, it’s a fifteen-minute walk. We didn’t talk on our way to the hall because whenever I look at him, my heart is beating fast. I also feel my cheeks burning because he is so handsome. After that, I went home.
The next morning, someone knocked on our door, it was the man who asked my favor yesterday.
“Good Morning, Ms. ?” Oh, we didn’t get to know each other's names.
“I’m Julia. How about you?”
“My name is Lancelot.”
“I didn’t get to say thank you to you yesterday. Where did you go after that? It’s embarrassing that I let you go home without saying thank you. To make it up to you, II would like to treat you a coffee.” That sounds decent to me.
“It’s okay. I saw a friend that’s why” I reasoned out.
I am sitting across from Lancelot in a fancy coffee shop near the municipal hall. He ordered americano and mine is espresso.
.
“You have an angelic face, I reckoned you have a boyfriend, husband perhaps?”
“No, I don’t have a boyfriend nor a husband” amazement was evident on his face. He smiled widely at me after hearing that.
“You're so beautiful, I can’t believe that you dare single.”
Since then, we always met and talk in the coffee shop. I think I’m falling for him and today, I will say yes to him. He's pursuing me to marry him.
Today is my sister’s 50th birthday, she invited me to come. That’s why I’m with Lancelot, sitting on the passenger seat on our way to their house. I don’t know if she also invites Alfredo. I’m happy now with Lancelot.
The party is amazing, it’s already 8 pm and I can’t find Lancelot. There are a lot of people, some are familiar and some are not.
Amidst the crowd, I saw Alfredo holding a baby. He seemed happy and contented in his life now. I’m happy for him.
“Thank you for giving this opportunity to me, Donna Adella. Tonight, you will witness my declaration of love to Julia Salas.” I was shocked. I didn’t know he will do it here. All eyes are on me, which makes my cheeks flamed. Lancelot slowly walks towards me.
“Julia Salas, will you marry me?” everyone claps their hands. I look at Alfredo, he was smiling. I smiled at him too. My love for him was finally gone. He's just like a dead star to me.
“Yes, I will marry you!.” Lancelot kissed me passionately. Finally, I found my happiness. I found my own Polaris that will guide me in the darkness.
