He opens the door smilingly. Maybe he just got outta shower. He's still in bathrobes. His whole chest is visible. His hair is wet with water droplets are still falling.
He's looking... Exquisite... Out of words! The body wash fragrance is mixed with his smell. He smells good as always.
God!! I'm being super nervous again!!! My heart is dying!
I'm speechless.
"Oh.. Nong Ta... You haven't gone to sleep yet?"
"Well I wanted to ask you something.."
"At this time?! Anyway come in.. sorry I just took a shower. Give me a sec."
I nodded and sit on the bed while he's changing his clothes behind me.
God Damnit!!! I still can see his mascular body through the mirror. Augh!!! I don't want to look but I can't even take my eyes off!!
Watching my greatest idol like this was totally outta my imagination not even I ever thought that in my dreams.
Shit! What a bad student and fan I am!
After he's done he comes in front.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting.. come.."
He stands at the balcony. I followed him.
"You look stressed. Something happens?"
"No.. there's no such a big deal."
"What you wanted to say?"
"I.. I better not.."
"Come on.. since when you started hesitating in front of me?"
"It's not that... Well... Ahem.. I just wanted to know about... About... Love! What is love?"
"Love!.. love is.. care.. and affection for your close one. Like our parents care for us.. our friends love us."
"Oh P'Mile... I'm not talking about this kind of love. I mean.. love between two individuals who's not your friend nor from family."
Suddenly he pulled my ear.
"Ouch! P'Mile.. it's hurting!"
"You're talking about relationships at this age. Don't you think you're too young for this? you should focus on your study."
"P'Mile... At least you don't give me a lecture like mom.."
"Yeah yeah... Now tell me.. your eyes are stuck on which girl? Is she beautiful?"
"No P'Mile... It's.. it's not that!.. I don't have someone.. yet. I'm just.. curious. You know I can't ask anyone except for you."
"But you're still young to understand.."
"Please P'Mile... I'm not a child for God's sake.. Tell me what you think about love.."
"Humm... Well.. love between two.. is like.. a special attention both partners feel for each other. It's friendship but still beyond friendship. It also includes supporting, caring and trust. You can feel possessiveness for that person. You'll like to spend time. There's a lot. I can't make you understand it properly. Everyone has different definitions from different POV. So.. you have to figure out this feeling yourself. What do you think? You got my words?"
"I guess so.."
He smiled and ruffles my hair. My heart lifted for a moment.
"I know you only understand a few words but not the whole. Nong."
"Ah... P'Mile.. how can I define my feelings for someone? I mean.. if I don't know... Weather it's love or just friendship.."
"Humm... Then I'm right. My Nong Ta.. no.. not Nong anymore.. Ta is... Hardly falling for someone.. damn! Why I didn't fall for someone at my young age?!"
"P'Mile!!.. don't mock me naa... "
"Hehehe... You look cutie when you pouted like this.."
"P'Mile..."
"Ok ok... I shut my mouth.."
"Tell me naa.. if.. I.. feel nervous and.. my heart starts racing when I see someone.. and.. I feel happy but who's not my friend.."
"Not your friend?"
"What if I feel this for.. you.. does it mean.. I.."
He bent down. His face is closed to mine lightened in the light. He placed his index on my chest.
"Yeah.. if this heart beats fast.. feels nervous.. feels happy.. that means.. this heart loves me.."
"It means.. I.. love you!"
"Humm..."
I wanted this moment to stop. I wanted to hug him. I wanted to be hold in his arms. But.. I didn't have the courage to approach.
He laughed a bit.
"Nong Ta.. you're so innocent.. but I bet.. if you convince someone by expressing your feelings like this.. that person will fall for you..."
"P'Mile.. I.."
"Don't tell me that you already set your mind to approach!"
"Yeah.. I mean no.. I mean... Do you think I should?"
"Absolutely not. I won't give you permission yet. You're just 11."
"But.."
"No more buts.. stop thinking about these kinds of things and focus on your study and future. Be not only a good person but also successful and capable enough to get your partner. You got a lot of time for this. Understood?"
"Yes.. I'll be.. thanks."
I hugged him. He caressed my head.
"You should get some sleep. It's late."
"I'll sleep with you."
"Ok. You can but no more questions. Close your eyes and sleep."
I nodded then quickly pecked his cheek. I ran then crawled over the bed covering myself with the blanket from head to toe.
My cheeks are burning. Now I know.. what love is..
Ahgh.. I can't stop smiling.
He turned off the lights then lay down beside me. I get a bit closer to him and he hugged me eventually.
This reminds me of the time we spent together at the tant years ago. I think I was loving him since then but didn't know how to define my feelings. But now I know.
I.. I love P'Mile.
I promise P'Mile.. I'll be the capable person for you.
I closed my eyes in his warmth.
