Open Your Heart

'Wait... Why I am feeling this comfortable sensation? And why my body is relaxed like that?'
...

My body jump on the strange situation I am in. The last time I was awake, my body was resting on the chair in the library. How in the world I am laying in a bed. And it's big as well.

Oh god, what happened to me? Immediately, I looked around the room searching for any extra presence additional to me. And there was non.

I eyed My body to scan if there was any change on my state, but I am still wearing the cloth I had. Nothing Changed and I don't feel something wrong with me. Actually, if anything, I feel much better after sleeping those couple of hours. Despite the fact I slept a small amount of time, but it felt like eternity. There was a clock in the room that's why I was able to know how much I actually slept. But I still need to know where I am right now.

I left the bed and walked toward the window. My steps were very calm and I made sure to not make a sound whatsoever. While I was walking my way there, I made sure to look around the place for my phone or any of my belongings and I actually spotted my phone on the small desk beside me before I leave my spot.

There is a chance that someone might see me while I am near the window, so I made sure to stand on the edges and take a glance at the outside and see if I can recognize the area.

Looking around the house, it seemed very familiar to me. When my eyes landed at the gate, I immediately figured were I am right now. This stubborn girl, I told her to leave me alone in the library.  But I am actually thankful for taking me here. Even though she could have just stayed by my side instead of having all the trouble to bring me to her house. I mean, she's already waiting for Mina in the bookstore.

Now that I can move freely, I went directly to my cellphone to check if I had any calls from the company. After checking it, I placed it down again and decided to look around the room.

I wonder whose room is this for. While taking my time to glance how big this room is, I catched my book placed on the big desk that near the door. Without averting my eyes any other direction, my leg walked toward it.

There was a chair, so I decided to set down and grab the book in my hands. This book that's more like my diary than anything else. Not a story but a bunch of events and feelings that storms across my heart at those days.

How could I forgot the memories I created along that person. My Life was just a boring routine until she showed up. Just like a candle, she light up my world with uncontrollable happiness. Her existence added a meaning to my life, or should I say, waked me up from my long sopor.

Imagine that all you do is studying and following your family wishes. I never thought of it as an impose directions that I had to follow. Instead, I was a person who doesn't know where she's going. And since I had nothing better to do, I found joy with following orders.

Socializing wasn't a successful mission for me. It was more like of a distraction as my parents described it. A way to lead you out the road into an unknown destination. Just when my mind was processing according to a specific plan, she came and intrude my system.

It was the first time that I heard and felt my heart beating. With it thumbing with each simple glance or interaction, I felt that my body is alife.

All what I am in right now is thanks to her. If I didn't experience those feelings, then probably I would have been the same machine that runs under my family orders. Again, there was nothing wrong with obeying them, but I just realized that I am a being that deserves to chose her own future by taking risks and responsibilities for my own actions.

I opened the book on one of the pages randomly and start reading one of the poems...

My heart don't come asking me "What to do?"
Gather your courage, and seek for the truth
Days are running, the time is coming
It's either you win that heart, or you lose.
