Monday, I was running fast on the road to reach the waiting shed on the bus stop, the cloud seems to be dim and it will surely rain in just a few minutes. Luckily, I reached the waiting shed, then the heavy rain fell on the ground. Because of the loud thunders and lightnings, it makes me cover my ears with my hands. I really hate rain, I hate it so much. Aside from that, I am the only person who was in the waiting shed, there was nobody whom I can talk to. The rain was getting stronger, I was getting more worried, how can I go home if there was no bus passing this road?. It was already 6 pm, and there is no sign of any vehicle. I was hopeless, I tried to contact my parents to fetch me up but it was unattended. I had no choice, I will spend my night in the waiting shed, just in case the rain will abate. But suddenly,I noticed someone on the other side of the road. It was a guy wearing blue shirt. He was sitting on a bench under the strong rain. I felt a bit worried for him. Then, he ran towards my location, I dont even know what to do. What if he was a bad guy, what if he will hurt me? What will I do? I tried to run for my life but he grabs my arms. "Dont be afraid, I wont hurt you, it was getting dark, it will be dangerous for you to stay here" he said with a husky voice. Then he lifted his head and I saw his face clearly. His brown hair was wet because of the rain, his catchy eyes are blue and tantalizing, his lips was shining red, his nose was pointed, he was angelic. I cant help myself to stare at him, there is something about this guy in blue. He seems to be familiar. "What are you staring at to?" he told me in a suspicious way. "Nothing, I'm sorry I just thought that I know you, well I'm wrong, by the way, what are you talking about a while ago?" I asked. "About that, I just said that it was dangerous for you to stay here, there will be no vehicles that will pass in this place. You better go to the other station. It was just a few steps away" he told me, I smiled at him, but when I was going to run, he stopped me. "Here, take this plastic bag so you wont get wet, you dont want to get ill right?" then he handed me a plastic bag that serves as my umbrella. Then he ran away. He was so mysterious. I went to our house safely, but still, I was thinking about that guy wearing blue shirt. I forgot to give him thanks.Tuesday morning, it was a sunny day, after class, I quickly went to the bus stop, not because I'm on a rush, but because I want to see the guy in blue. I was hoping to see him again. I dont know why, maybe because I just want to say thanks. There were a lot of people on the bus stop, but he was not there, I felt disappointed. Then the bus came, I dont know what was the reason but I did'nt ride on the bus. I will be waiting for another bus, maybe because I was hoping that I will see the guy in blue again. But suddenly, some guys passed on the waiting shed and they all stared at me. I was quite nervous about that, but I just ignored them. "Hey miss, wanna have some fun?" the guy said, I didnt mind them anyway. "Hey, come with us and give us joy" said the other one, I was a bit disgusted and I want to burst out my anger but I remember that they're about 12 and I am just one, I cant protect myself if they were a dozen. That's why I ignored them again. But suddenly, a guy grab my arms, "Let me go!" I shouted, trying to escape but he was so strong, there were no people except us, I was about to shout again when somebody punches the guy. The others got so mad with my mysterious hero so they all punched him and kicked him. Then suddenly, a policeman came, the bad guys run away leaving the poor mysterious hero lying on the ground. I look at him and he was wearing a blue polo and when he lifted his face, he was the same guy that helped me last night. "Hey, the guy in blue, it was you!" I said, he just glanced at me. Then I noticed a blood on his lips. "Hey, you're lips" I wiped it with my hanky, "I'm fine, how about you? Did they hurt you?" he asked me, he seems that he was injured, but he tried to stand. "How could you ask me if I'm okay while you're in that condition? Are you insane?" I shouted, but it just makes him smile. "The bus is coming, you better go, that's the last bus, you dont wanna miss it and spend your night here, right?" he said, "Well, of course, anyway, thank you" I said while entering the bus. "For what?" he asked me, then the bus started to go, I went to the window of the bus and shouted "For everything you did!" I saw his face smiling, he was very familiar, I cant remember but I'm sure that I saw him before. As I went home, I was still thinking of the guy in blue, is he stalking me? Why does he keep on saving my life? Oh I cant understand, why do I feel something wrong, why does that guy in blue seems to be so special to me? Wednesday morning, I cant concentrate on my proffesors' discussion because I keep on thinking about the guy in blue. Actually, I was having doodles on the back of my notebook. I draw a guy and I colored his shirt with blue pen. Oh no! What am I doing? Wasting my time and my paper with that blue boy. After class, I went quickly to the bus stop but I slipped on a bannana peel on the road. It makes me fell down and my knees were wounded. "I'm so clumsy" I told myself, I tried to stand but the bones on my knees seems to be dislocated. Then, a guy lend his arms to me, "Let me help you" he said, I know that voice, I look unto his face, the guy is wearing blue shirt, honestly, he was so cool with his outfit. He carried me and brought me to the bench on the waiting shed. "What happened" he asked. I felt ashamed of my clumsiness thats why I did'nt reply. He just smiled at me, and I cant help myself to smile at him too. "I cant walk, It really hurts" I said as I tried to stand. He just let me sit and he held my knees. He just massaged it and voila! It doesnt hurts anymore. "Hey, thanks, are you a doctor" I said amazingly. "Nope, I just learned it in the hospital" he said and he looked in the other direction, whats the matter? "There goes the bus" he said, and as I rode on the bus, I looked at him and he was not there at all. At home, I can't take him off my mind, every minute, I was thinking of him. But why? He's just a stranger...but a special stranger. That's it! confirmed. I was crazy! I like him, considering that I dont even know him, even his name! Shucks, why do I feel this strange thing? Why does my heart beats abnormally everytime I was thinking of that guy in blue? Thursday,I went to the university as early as I could, my proffesor was strict, and I am surely dead if I came to school late. During the discussion, as usual, I was daydreaming about my blue boy hero. I thought that a guy like him only exists in stories and novels, but he was real. After class, I was crossing on the road to get to the other side, but suddenly, a very fast vehicle came in front of me. Everything happens so fast, but the only thing I knew is that I will be hit by the car, but when I opened my eyes, I was on the side of the road with those people who are sightseeing and the policemen. I cant understand because it happened so fast. "Sir, what happened" I asked nervously "A car almost hits you, but thanks to that guy who pushes you away" the policemen said. "Really, where is he? Is he safe?" I asked. "Luckily he was safe, he was brought to the hospital by now because he got some physical injuries, there is nothing to worry about, anyway, the driver of the car is now on the police station" the policeman explained. But I was still worried "Wait, what was the man looks like?" I asked, "Well, he has a brown hair and blue eyes, and he was wearing a blue shirt" as he said those words, I was 101% sure that he was the same guy who saves me this passed few days. Now, I was thinking so hard, I am trying to remeber when did we met before because I am sure that we've already saw each other, but sadly, I cant remember. It was Friday afternoon around 6 pm, after my class, I went to the bus stop, then, I saw him sitting on the bench. I walked towards him and smile. "You saved my life yesterday, it was you who saved me again, thanks, I owe you my life" I said, he just smiled back and stared at me. "Take care of yourself, I will not be always here beside you" He said "What?, you can always stay here, we can be friends or more than that" I told him, he just held my hands and look directly on my eyes "No, we cant be friends or more than friends, but one week with you is such a great thing, I will never forget that and I hope you too." He told me "Why? We can have more than a week to know each other, I know it was crazy to hear but I think I'm in love with you, tell me, what's your name?"se3 I asked. "I love you too since then and it was good to hear that you also feels the same, but, it's impossible, sorry, I cant tell you who I am, just call me whatever name you would like. Sorry, I have to go, its sad but still I'm happy to be with you, I love you" he said with a tear falling from his blue eyes then he run away and left me on the bus stop alone, I cant understand him, why did he need to tell those words to me. I cant sleep, I'm thinking of that guy in blue. The next day, it was Saturday, we dont have classes but still I went to the bus stop, I know it was a crazy thing, but my heart pushes me to do it. I was sitting on the bench, hoping to see that guy in blue, a lot of people looks at me and I know that they think that I'm such a fool, spending my time on the bus stop, but I dont care, I want to see him, hours have passed, the clouds are dim and it will surely rain, I can still remember the first day he helped me, it was also raining. The rain fell,there are loud thunders and lightnings, but I am still sitting on the bench. It was 9 pm, but I am still hoping to see him, but there is no sign of that guy in blue. Why he's not here? He's unfair! I need him right now! I'm afraid of thunders and lightnings! Then a bus passed. "Miss, come in, it was a strong typhoon, this is the last bus that will pass here, it will be dangerous for you" said the driver, but I ignored him, I was crying so hard, I will not lose hope, I know he will be here "MISS COME IN!" shouted the driver "I WON'T" I replied, then he just left me, now I was stucked in this place because I believe that the guy in blue will come. But the rain gets stronger, I really dont know what to do, then I think of a stupid idea, I will put myself into trouble! "He's always coming when Im in danger!" I ran towards the road, I just stand there and cry, then a car is passing "Save me" I said in a soft voice, I closed my eyes while crying but the car didnt hit me at all, and the guy in blue is not here, "Miss if you are committing suicide, dont just stand in this road, what if I hit you? I will be in prison, better jump off to that building!" the driver angrily said and he went back to his car. I was left on that place, I sit on the side of the road, "He didnt came" I said, I cried harder and the rain gets stronger, I felt dizzy and weak, I dont know what happened next but the last thing I knew is that I fell and lie on the ground. As I opened my eyes, I saw my mom and dad with a blurry sight, I was on my bed "Dad, what happened, why I'm here?" I asked my father, "There was a typhoon yesterday night and you were stucked in the bus stop, you fainted, dont you remember?" He explained, "Alright, I remember" I said, my mom kisses my forehead, "You better give thanks to that guy who carries you and brought you home, if he's not there, you might have sick or worse" my mom said and I was shock "Guy? who?" I asked, "I dont know, he's not even familiar to me, but he's nice, the only thing I remember about him is that he wears a blue shirt" I stand brisky upon hearing those words. A guy wearing blue? Its him! He saved me again! I knew he would'nt let me alone. I quickly took a bath and changed my clothes. It's Sunday today and I will go to the Church. After the mass,I just walk and have some relax, as I walked on the road, I saw a house, there are many people, I felt curious so I walked near it. Then I realized that it was a vigil. A lady in black approaches me, "Who are you?" she asked "Oh no, I just passed and notice that you have a vigil, I'm sorry to disturb you, anyway, condolence" I said, then the lady smiled at me "Its ok, why dont you just stay here for a while and have some coffee" she offered "Oh thanks, by the way, what is your relationship with the person who died?" I asked politely, "Well, Im his mother" she said "Realy? I'm sorry" I said, I went to see the coffin and as I walked near, I noticed the sorroundings, it was full of blue, blue flowers, blue ribbons, blue chair, anything in blue. My heart beats so fast, no! maybe I'm just having a wrong idea, it cant be him. But when I look at the coffin, it really makes me cry hard, I was so shock to see him lying on the coffin, lifeless! My tear seems to be unlimited, I cant control it. his mother came and tap my shoulder "Do you know my son?" she asked, "Yes, he saved me many times" I said while I was cring so hard, "So you are the girl that he told me before he died, he wants me to give this letter to you" she said and handed me a piece of paper. The letter really makes me cry harder as I read it "Hi. Maybe you dont remember me, but I want to tell you that we already see each other, but its been years, I am your schoolmate in grade school. I will never forget you. I owe you a lot, remember that you are always saving me, during our recollection, I was drowned in the pool, but you swim and saved me, I dont know how to swim, and during our field trip, a heavy metal almost fall on me but you pushes me away. Thank you so much. You know what, Im so excited to see you again in highschool, but sadly, I had a disease. I stopped my studies and stayed at the hospital for many years. But everyday, I was thinking of you, and I realized that I was in love with you. But the therapy was useless, my illness was worse and I will just have my life for a week. The doctor said that I should live my life the fullest, but how? Then I remembered you, I will just spend my week with you, know what, you're still the same, you're still pretty and kind, Its quite funny because I am always wearing blue shirt so you will notice me because you said before that blue is your favorite color. But it was sad that I will just stay for a week, if only I can ask God to extend my life, I will just for you. But Im happy to be with you even for a short time and always remember that THE GUY IN BLUE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU...truly yours, Guy in Blue" I bited my lips and cry again, now I remember him, I am saving him before, why? Because I have a crush on him.But I was so sad that I didnt see him again in high school until I was in college and then I forgot about him. I noticed him not because of his blue shirt but because of himself. The way he acts seems to be special. The blue color is just a symbol of him. And I admit that I loved him. "When did he died?" I asked his mother "Last Friday night" she said. So, that was the reason why he ran away, but...I remembered something. "Wait, he died last friday? It cannot be! He just saved my life yesterday night!. It was a rainy Saturday night yesterday and I was lying on the road. He brought me back home, he just saved me yesterday! hOw come?" I said with a loud voice "No, its impossible, he was lifeless yesterday, maybe its just your imagination, wait a minute, I will just do something" his mom said and she left me. I look at the coffin "My imagination? No! I know it was real, my mom and dad saw him too, It was him, I knew it, I know he will save me even for the last moment, before he go to the place where he belongs, he still save me, dont worry, I promised to take care of myself, I love you, guy in blue" I said while looking at him, maybe it was just a short time that we spend together, but for me, it was eternal,its not just a week, its more than years, and I love him not because of his appearance or because he saves me, I love him because that is how I feel. Now, while I am looking at him, there is something has changed, he is not wearing blue anymore, he wears a white barong, but whatever happens, he was still THE GUY IN BLUE THAT I TRULY LOVE........
