“I fear to walk on your side, or even pass through with you. That’s why I choose to stay at the back of yours, just watching you while walking in front of me. Following you, step by step… just closely following you through.”

… … …

“Kyle, it’s getting too late! Aren’t you done doing it?”

I stop my typing to look up with my friend who’s standing in front of my office desk, and then I laid my back at my chair. “I’m not done yet.” I answered. “So, I think I’ll here for bit more… hour?” I said but I’m not so sure of it. Why? *stares back to his cell phone* *sighs* I think I’m waiting for someone…

I heard him breathes deeply. “Alright! I’ll go ahead!”

I nodded and smile then afterwards I continued my works. And while typing, I’m still waiting for someone…

Someone that I truly wanted to see and to hear though, I knew she’s still busy at this time. And I think, I’ll be the first one to call and sees her just like before…

*bushes moving* I run out of our house and tried to never look back so that no could catch me up. After I passed those bushes, I look up high at the trees at my front that covers the light from the sun. That result to this place looks dark and shallow just like the street next to this small forest at the back of our house. Actually, that street that I’m talking is a road that connects at the school and subdivision near there. The reason why whenever I came there to sneak out of our house, I always saw students wasting their time there and mostly they always do their bullying there because it’s too dark and silence. That makes them to do some wrong doings but I never interfere with them not once… ––– but things changes… –––

I heard a voice screaming for help that I couldn’t just ignore. At first I thought that it was nothing but as soon as I clearly listen to it. It became more and more clear that someone screaming for some help and I couldn’t just ignore it when I heard that it came from a woman’s voice. So, I search for it and saw three guys almost hurting this poor girl that looks too familiar but I couldn’t think where I saw her.

At first, I want to ignore it but I couldn’t help it when I heard her voice. And it echoes into my ears so, I do what I have to do! I help her with all my might! Even if I’ve been punched three times or more… it doesn’t care for me. I just punch back harder than what they’ve been given to me. And afterwards, I help the girl to stand up and guided her out of that place. And since that day, when I save her life, it started a new found friendship though.

*sighs deeply* There is something in me changes that I couldn’t help but to forcefully ignores it whenever I’m with her. Just like now… I just wanted to surprise her but… I don’t think that it was her who would be surprise because it is me who surprise of when I saw her laughing and gladly walking and talking with her friends.

From afar, I thought I see goddess.

A goddess that I never knew that she really do existing into my life…

A goddess that changes everything… in my mind… in my soul and…

I never expected that it would also change my… heart!

*takes a deep breathe*

She really is a beautiful young lady.

And I couldn’t take my eyes of her.

But…

I knew, it was wrong to feel something so special for her when I’m with someone else.

A girl that my family choose for me as a tradition to follow, though… I knew, my father would let me free if I truly found the woman that may able to beat my heart so fast. That would make my heart and mind go crazy whenever I see her, whenever I think of her. And I think I’ve finally found her!

But my fears to let my self know the truth linger into my heart because what if she doesn’t feel what I feel for her? What if all she could give to me is only friendship and nothing more than that? What if… lots of thought of questions that I can hardly answers. The reason why I just let my self stay at her side…

Always be at her back to watch and takes care of her… guide her through… and make her feel safe whenever she would passes through this road.

*takes a deep breathe*

She’s now sixteen. And as far as I look at her, she’s almost perfect as a lady and I couldn’t help it but to smile so sweetly towards her. And I’m so great full that her friends let us be alone for a while because I really do want to be with her even just for a while. And looking at her, I notice that she’s not too ease to be with me and for some reason… I wish that she feels what I truly feel for her. Though it would be just a dream!

As I said my goodbye to her friends I notice that she’s still not talking so I decide to talk first and, “Hey! Are you with me?!” I asked and I knew she was surprised.

“Gosh! What are you doing here?!” she asked and it made her blush that really cutes on her. “Hey! Now that you saw me I think I should be going and–––’’

“Wait!” I quickly grab her shoulder when I noticed my self that I’m too overwhelmed because of what I see on her. And to cover it up, I smile so sweetly on her that would take her heart and soul.

 “W-what?!” she stammer and I couldn’t help it but to rejoice so gladly because my smile is too much effective on her.

“Well…” I paused and let her shoulder free even though I don’t want it too but I have to before I done something wrong. If only I could hug and kiss her right there and then but, *pause and think* I calm my self first before I ask her. “First! Where you going? And why you were in a hurry?”

I heard her teeth gritted that makes me worry. “Hey! Are you fine?” she just stares at me so I just follow up my words to say. “Anyway, I’m sorry if I approach you here and didn’t come straight at your house.” *apologetic look*

She looks at me seriously that fears me but as soon as I heard her voice, it changes!

“W-what do you m-mean?”

I smile again when I heard her stammer but I don’t want her to feel unease towards me so I let it pass and says what I have to say.

“I just wanted to make it simple… at first… but it turns out different when I see you for real…” *blush* *speechless* God! I do really blush in front of a girl?! That’s new to me! *secretly sighs deeply* “Well, I think… I should just say it now before I lost my words!”

“Ha?! But wha–––’’

“Happy birthday, Jade!” And I want you to know that I like you that much but I couldn’t just tell you this. I just want you to feel it too. *kiss* “And I hope you would like my gift for you… the truth… I couldn’t think if it would fit you or not. Still,” *paused for a smile* *I knew you would love it too!”

That’s it! I did it! I finally kiss her! Even if I only kiss her at her cheeks! Still I’m so glad and contented with it! *sighs* If only I could tell you straight! I choose you already! My heart… my mind… and my soul chooses to like you more than you ever know.

My feeling has already been chosen the right girl for me but still I couldn’t confess my self onto her so straight. That made me feel lost and sad and even though I’m with her still, I couldn’t reach and hold her. If only…
