Love is too Complicated
by: Dong

"All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking its pretty damn complicated in the first place"-Douglas Adams

Everyday Mark is always busy. He is a kind of person that makes his day busy so that he won’t feel alone. He is a loner and an intrapersonal person. He prefers to read books, encyclopedia or any other references rather than talking, bonding and chatting with his classmates and people surrounds him. This kind of habit changed until the day he met a girl at his school(UA TLMC) that changed his entire life.
At the hallway while Mark is busy reading a book while walking, he is not  looking on his  way and he did not notice that there's a girl ,reading a book also. Mark bumped to the girl and the book  fell on the ground. He helped the girl to pick the book.
Mark said "I’m sorry Miss, here’s your book."
"Its okay! Thank you. It’s  my fault I’m not looking on the way.” The girl replied.
When Mark looked on the face of the girl he was amazed because the is girl is beautiful .He looked in the eyes of the girl, it has good shape and has long eyelashes. In short, the eyes of the girl is attractive, he looked on her  lips, it is red lips(kissable lips) and not too pointed nose but it fits to the face of the girl. The girl has a fair complexion and  has an average height. To sum it up, the girl is really beautiful. He was in love at first sight.
Mark did not notice that he had looked at her for too long.
             "Hey! why are you looking at me like that? Do I have dirt in my face?” The girl said.
             "Nothing, by the way, my name is Mark. How  about you?” Mark answered.
"I’m Nica.” The girl answered.
After they introduced to each other, Mark said, "I’ll go ahead, hope to see you again and nice to meet you.”
He did not wait for the answer of Nica, he went  ahead.
"I hope to see you again.” Nica said.
After that incident, they always says "Hi" to each other every time they meet.
Days and months passed by.. Mark and Nica became comfortable with each other. Until one day, Mark thought  of  confessing  about his feelings to Nica. But he saw Nica with other guy, holding hands, walking  together. He felt angry and jealous. He thought he is useless, a coward and he blamed himself for being "Torpe" for losing the girl he love.
That day passed by, because of that incident Mark avoid Nica for a week and every time he sees her he hide so that she can’t see him. Nica wondered why Mark is always missing in action. Mark did not notice that Nica is walking towards  him because is busy doing something. When he was  about  to stand, Nica is now at his side. He did not know what to do.
"Hi! how are you? too long you are MIA(missing in action).” Nica asked.
Mark tried to ignored her but he can’t. He did not  respond to what Nica said.
"Hey! do you have a problem? "Nica asked again. Mark once again ignored her for the second time.
"Did I do something  wrong?" Nica asked for the third time.
And for the third time, he did not respond but he hugged her. Nica was shocked because it’s the first time that Mark did it. He hugged Nica tight while saying ..
   "Nica I have something to say."
       Nica felt nervous to what he might say.
"For the first time, I fell in love with a girl .That girl that makes my day complete."
       “Who's that girl?” Nica asked.
Mark answered, "That girl is with me right now, in front of me. You make me happy everyday, you are the reason why I want to live longer and most importantly is that you changed me  for the better, a better person. Thank you for everything. I hope you will stay on my side."
Nica was speechless and shocked about Mark’s confession. Nica left Mark and ran away without any word.
