Dark. Plain. Ordinary.
I gave it back to the saleslady and tried to look for more stylish, more attractive and more elegant looking dress. I almost jumped when someone tapped my shoulder. He just said "Hi" and asked for my number, then he bid goodbye.
Usual. Boring. Unexceptional.
A message received from him; a simple "hi!". "Urgh! another nothing-to-do creature!"Few minutes, few replies then, "goodnight, I'm already sleepy" I told him. The next day, he texted me again, "I'm sorry, kind'a busy. Text you later", my reply. After a few weeks, at last he gave up! Summery.Excitement.Impassioned.
He threw the ball, three point shot, then he smiled. I smirked."Even if you are the star player of this game, I don't care!" His fans are roaring his name. I scorned. Obviously, I am irritated. The game has ended in favor of his team. I went home not thinking of their jubilee. At the park, he's with his friends; I'm with my buddies. He approached me, I entertained him with a not-so-friendly smile and a little chat. Discovery.Complicated. Deceitful.
That little chat at the park was followed by another and then the next day, just when I discovered that I am now enjoying his company. The person whom I hated yesterday is now considered a special friend. Unsolicited pieces of advice, prejudgment and reactions are now penetrating the sinful minds of the townsfolk. He is now judged as someone whom I don't deserve of.
Decision.Hope.Firmness.
The prejudgment they made for him made me decide otherwise. The person whom they are referring as unworthy is a benevolent and kind-hearted person whom I can trust to take hold of my heart. Someone,whom I'm willing to be knotted with for the rest of my life. Now, I finally decided not to rush where everybody is going. Now, I firmly stand on my decision to choose him and I am hoping that people would understand that the someone-better-for-me will always be my choice. Present.Future. Him.
Five years ago, he's like a monster whom I wished not to come even in my darkest and deepest dreams. Now, he is the only reason why I keep on dreaming of beautiful things in this world even in the middle of my coldest and loneliest nights. It's him who taught me how to take risks. It's him who pushed me to be mature enough to take responsibilities and make decision for myself. It's with him that I can proudly say that I was never wrong in choosing him. He is my only answer every time people would ask "Why?" It is him whom I shared my truest smiles. He is my total opposite; He is open and shut, I am a scatterbrained. For whatever it is that I and him have right now, I want it to last forever. I neglected him for more than a year but I don't have regrets because with what we have right now, I cannot find any reason of regretting. For some, this must be the most illogical thing I've ever done, but for me it doesn't need logic for a person to be this happy
