Missing Pieces

Chapter#09: Still Affection

The story genre is a short story but here's a touch of romance too. Well, enjoy reading.

After three days, everything got back to normal. We were the best friends again. I accepted the reality but I couldn't kill the feelings I had for him. I had a little hope. I prayed everyday. I cried everyday. My mind knew everything. But what of my heart? My stubborn heart wasn't ready to lose him. I didn't know if it it was true love or just a temporary attraction. But I don't think so that temporary attraction could have survived more than six months within me.
Well, we were close enough to discuss each and everything. I used to make lunch for him. I went to the academy early in the morning and handed him the lunch box. There was the day, a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I asked him for a walk. He was agreed. After the off, I went outside, he was already waiting for me to give me back that lunch box.
"Can we .. just.. leave it for some other day..?"
"No. A commitment is a commitment." I said.
We walked to some distance and it was about sunset, when we got closer to each other. His arms around me and we kissed for the first time. He gave me a warm hug. It was like I forgot the rest of the world in his arms. I felt secure. I felt like I'd been missing this hug for centuries I wanted to stay that way forever. I couldn't believe, he was that close to me. I had tears in my eyes when I put my head on his shoulder, but I controlled them. I didn't want to ruin the moment. We kissed for a minute or two that my lipstick was all gone after that. We laughed after the silly thing we just did. I looked at him quietly with some hope in my eyes. That still affection gave me some strength to wait for him. I didn't want to leave him ever.
I came home, I was awkward but I was happy. In fact, the happiest. I was on cloud nine. It was really something new for me. My first kiss. I've heard that kiss makes you realise that your love is true or not.
But it was some kind of positive sign. I took a decision. I decided to wait for him, forever, no matter what. And I'll prove him that my love was always real, love exists and there's no end to my love for him.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm cursed. May be it's not just me... But it's not as simple as it sounds. It's painful. Painful as walking in roses as I had a vision before. Whosoever I started loving leaves my life, leaving a temporary sorrow which takes much time to recover.
Just for a while, when I compare the vision and the incident of falling in love, I feel like the vision was a warning. I didn't take it serious, but it was real. I had this vision before going for the class. But now, I've fallen for him, it has happened, there's no turning back. So I've decided, I'll always keep the affection between us, alive!
