See You Again

Ch. 11: Fake lovers

Theen's POV:

I was just shocked for a while and speechless, as he held my hands right before we enter our house, my parents house to be specific.

My heart is beating so loud just by this small gesture from him which I couldn't grasp.

Is this really happening?

Is he really holding my hand right now?

Isn't this just one of my dreams again?

June Climantte is really holding onto my hand right now—

It would be nice,if this is true...

But I know, this is just an act.

Flashback:

"W-what do you mean?"- I asked while we're still inside his car.

"Let's do it. I mean,I think it's not a bad thing afterall. Let's be friends... What I mean by that is that, we don't need to hate on each other. Instead, let's help each other. *Smiles genuinely* I'll accept what you want from me. I'll act sweet with you, whenever your parents are around. But,I hope we can respect each other's privacy from now on. Let's not make it harder for each other, okay?"

He---- he doesn't want me in his life. That's the conclusion you'll get from his own words.

Ouch!

It just made another hole deep inside my heart.

Why? Why do you always have to hurt me like this?

Yet, why I can't bring myself to really hate you?

My heart... It's no longer beating on my own will or for itself. It's only beating for you. And because of that, I easily forget all of the rationality within me whenever you're around.

You're making me the dumbest person to ever live in this world, and it's all because I love you.

"Are you okay with it?"- he asked again after the long silence between us.

It won't hurt me that much right?

It's not like, I can do anything now.

He doesn't feel the same towards me, yet I can't complain about it. I'm hurting because of myself... Not because of him.

It's because I can't bring myself to leave him and never see him again.

I just nodded my head as an answer. I don't want to speak because I know, i can't hide the pain if I tried to utter a word.

End of flashback

...

As we enter the house and he was holding onto my hand firmly, my heart wanted to fly above the sky. May be, he can hear my heart beat, maybe if he hadn't gave his heart to somebody else, he'll see the pain inside my heart.

He'll recognized that, someone has been loving him secretly...

And that someone is slowly fading away as he was the one building the boundary between us.

I'm not afraid that we wouldn't be together anymore.

I'm afraid that, my feelings for him would fade away someday. Because if that thing will happen, I think it's when the day that I'll die... I can't imagine a life without him.

That's the truth.

"Oh, kids! You're both home already. " -mom says happily and then she looked at us together then to our hands that are intertwined perfectly. "Suddenly I feel jealous with these love birds here. *Breathes heavily* Young love really is the sweetest kind of love. The perfect time to fell in love."
