Chocolates. They always be my all time favorite! I swear nothing would make me shut up than chocolates. There is one special chocolate that keeps me craving for it and the memory it left me years ago.
My friend Lexi introduced Kevin to me way back in highschool days. Arrogant and snob. He was that from his hair down to his fingernails. Looks like you have to be excellent enough to be his friend. No doubt, he always topped the class. He was the kind of person that most likely to succeed. Girls crawled to get his attention but that was way too far for me to do. Not even in my wildest dreams! Anyway we weren't on the same school. High school life went through smoothly. I went to the prom and graduated.
5:30 AM.
I was taking my jog at the Plaza when heavy rain fell. I found the perfect shed it was situated under the big oak tree and was occupied by a few people who took their morning jog too, to my surprise. I saw Kevin standing on the shed I thought of running to the other side nearby but he was too late because my feet were taking me to where he was, I suppressed I smile as I approached the shed but he didn't even throw a look on me. The weather started to calm down and people were preparing to go, he was too. As he opened his umbrella (looked like he already knew that it would rain) he asked "aren't you going home yet?" I could still remember how those intense brown eyes seared me to my very soul as if stripping all my defenses and I almost forgot he was asking me "I will go home if this rain will stop" that's all my response "Join me, the rain won't stop until lunch" first he knew how to talk and then he knew how to crack a joke.The fear that I may end up waiting for the rain to stop until lunch, without hesitation I accepted his invitation.
Just before we separated that I accidentally dropped my ipod and it was totally wrecked, Kevin grabbed it from me and said he would fix it himself my whole body stiffened in shock I was looking for an indication that he was faking it, I thought it was the start of a perfect friendship between us but it was all the same as the day we first met.
I was perplexed when Lexi handed me a new iPod with all my downloaded songs from my broken ipod in it, I read the small note attached to it it says "I WASN'T ABLE TO FIX IT SO I BOUGHT YOU A NEW ONE" as simple as that no smiley, no sorry, no period, all letters are capitalized, I wasn't able to personally thank him because I was confined in the hospital for two weeks because of high fever.
First day in college.
I bumped onto someone (because I was looking in the other way) when the guy turned to face me I saw the farmiliar irritated look-Kevin again, but he cast away the look and replaced it with a heart stopping smile. I thought I could get a heart attack because that smile was so rare that I couldn't explain.
It was the first day of class but the professor already handed us some test papers to assess how far we have gone through in high school. 15 minutes later in the midst of answering the soul-reflecting question the oh-so- familiar deep and masculine voice interrupted my concentration.
"Mam is this the class of Professor Loyola?" the voice went on "yes, I suppose you are Mr Javier come in find a seat and answer this questionnaire" the prof answered back.
Oh my!! no!Kevin and I will be on the same English class, and there was this one time that we're having a debate in class that I found myself concentrating on his physical features rather than on the topic. I felt like I was stupid hating him then and making me fall for him, it wasn't hatred after all I was just in the stage of denial.
I didn't know when this tough guy turn into a gentleman and this made me fall in this trap but of course the affection was lame. (_ _ ") I couldn't tell him about the growing feeling that I have for him. He would just reject me. (°*°) it was insane to fall for someone who wouldn't be yours.
Then something happened that change it all, Kevin's father died when we were sophomore and his brother decided to bring Kevin with him abroad to pursue his ambition to be a doctor. I was very sad to hear the news from my sister, I am dead serious about it.
I wasn't even happy about us being group mates in our English activity because I know he would leave soon, plus I got to see my doctor regularly in a week because of a fever that keep bugging me ,that was the reason I had to make some absence and it meant not seeing him.
Before the end of the semester Kevin handed me a box of Cadbury chocolates he said "I know you love chocolates, :) Cadbury so you won't miss me" then he laughed in such a mocking way, RUDE!
Years had passed but still I couldn't forget him, I had boyfriends and cried over my heart breaks but it was him I wanted to be with, I heard nothing from him since he left.
Year after he left, I found out I was suffering from chronic kidney failure, my on and off fever explained it all. Now, I get a few months to live. I almost lost all the strands of my hair ,I get swollen eyes ,chapped lips and I am so skinny now.
I only have a few moments to eat my favorite Cadbury whenever I miss Kevin.
I can hardly witness every sunrise and sunset in my window and hope that every sunset will bring Kevin back.
I opened my emails for this day, all of them were cheering me up for my last days but there was this one mail that surprise me ;sender (kevinja@rocketmail.com)
Cara, I'll be coming home next month ,I have so many things to say to you I'm so sorry I wasn't able to keep in touch with you I hope there's still time for everything I'm so excited I can't wait to see you soon I'm so glad you haven't changed your email add -Kevin
I signed out immediately without replying to his message, fresh batch of tears. Kevin suprised me again for the last time, it was the sweetest surprise, he is my sweetest chocolate.
What are those things he wanted to say to me?
Now I am waiting for my last day, happy while waiting for Kevin to come back.
