Ms. Hope's Story

  If you were fated for each other then you will be together until the end.
We first met when we were in college. You were the joker of the class and I'm the radio – a singer and a person who delivers juicy news. We were both irregular student also known as international students, you were irregular 4th year and I were an irregular 1st year. Even we have the same personality we were not close because I don't talk to you. We got the chance to talk to each other when we had a group activity. I was the leader that's why I was so irritated whenever you tell a joke in a serious discussion. I started hating you and after the activity, I swear that I will never ever talk to you.
I was sitting at the lounge when you suddenly disturb my solitude. I glanced at you and you were smiling. You asked me if I know how to play a guitar. I said, "Yes". You asked me again if I could teach you how. You lend me your guitar and I started strumming it with the chords of 12:51. I taught you the basics. That was the start of our friendship. Later, I got to know that you fooled me because you were an excellent guitarist, after all, you were a PEHMA major.
We became BFF that our classmates noticed it. They started making fun of us but it didn't bother us. Some said that we were like couples because of the way we show our sweetness to each other.
One day, Kenjie, a Block B student sit-in in our class. He sat behind me. During discussion, I could feel that someone is staring at me. Unconsciously, I looked behind then I caught him staring at me. I immediately looked away. After our class, Kenjie got my number. At my boarding, my phone rang and I answered it without looking the caller. It was Kenjie, he was asking me if he could court me. I didn't give any respond because I was perplexed that I ended the call. I dialed your number to consult you, if I'm going to let him or not. Your answer broke my hypothalamus. You said that if I'm ready I will let him and if not it's all up to me. My respond to you made you speechless for a couple of minutes. Then again, your respond made me cry for the whole night.
I said that I like you that's the reason why I decided not to let the other guy. You said that if you're going to enter a romantic relationship, your time is not enough to balance everything. It might be futile because my feelings may change during the process. I said that I'm not like that. That I'm okay with our current situation, just give me ASSURANCE that I'll be the only one for you. I will always be by your side through thick and thin. But you chose to chase your career. Our feelings is mutual but what I'm asking to you is too much. I'm no longer asking you to go out with me. I neither chat you nor call you because my feelings might get deeper if I continue. I even lied that my feelings for you was gone just to keep you by my side but I was the one who started being cold towards you. You started asking me why. I couldn't answer because I don't want to talk about it. The predicament continuous until your internship to Vietnam arrived. You were so happy that you chatted me even I was ignoring your messages. I greeted you then after a short conversation I turned off my message box and blocked you. I cried because you were so happy while I'm thinking that there's no hope for us.
Currently, I 'm a successful writer of any genre. I'm reminiscing our past to write another tragic story later while staring at your wedding invitation.
