For Eternity [Completed ✔]

Part 2 (End)

I'm in my deep thinking while walking until I didn't realize that there's someone else walking in par with me and say,

"Hi, Tee. It's been awhile,"

He said it and I'm just stunned like a stone looking at him. Like you know it. I'm just in deep thinking which involves him and it's like 'puff' he comes out from my imagination and stand in front of me.

"Helloooo..! Teeee!! Earth to Tee!!!" Oh no! My imagination just talk to me! But his voice not like it used to be. Oh, silly me. It had been like 10 years since last time I saw him, back in high school. Of course his voice would be slightly different. My imagination of him waves his hand in front of my eyes. It looks like a real human, not just an imagination.

He fish up his phone with his right hand while his left hand is on his back. He type something on his phone. My imagination of him is cool! He even has smartphone and calling someone. Wait a minute! My phone is ringing. I'm frown looking at unknown number calling in. I pick it up while staring at my imagination of him.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Tee," Wait! Why does his voice like him. Did my imagination just called me? It's weird. I tilt my head out of habit.

"Tae? You can talk?"

He just chuckles before answering me "Of course I can talk. I'm human, not a mannequin, and I'm not mute,"

I think my mouth make a big 'O' shape hearing to that. "So you're the real Tae? Not my imagination?"

Tae cut off the call and talk face-to-face to me. He lean his face a little bit closer to me. "Of course I'm a real one. But I'm interested on the word 'not my imagination'. Did you usually having me in your imagination?"

I close my mouth with my one of my hand. My other hand still pressing the phone to my ears. Did I said it out loud? About I thought he is my imagination? I can feel my ears getting warm. Probably my face already as red as tomato. Ohhhh... This is so embarassing! I feel like wanna dig a hole and burry myself.

"Are you okay?" He ask me with his charming smile. I'm just nodded a few times. Still can't talk. It just too sudden. He smiles at me without saying anything, with both his hand intertwined on his back. It's like he's giving me time to collect myself.

After I successfully composed myself (I guess so), I try to build some conversation while trying to sound as calm as possible. "When did you come back?"

He chuckles when he heard my cracking voice as I'm trying to cover my nervousness. Haishhh. I want to smack his head sooo much, if I have enough courage to do so. Didn't he knows, it takes soooo much courage to speak again to him? I'm just to shy to speak, even to held my head up high when I saw him years back then. It just a new accomplishment that I can utter that question, you know. I'm pouting. I didn't know if I did it only in my head, or I really did pout literally as he's still chuckling looking at me.

"Already home around a month ago. Need a longer time to set things up, to settle down," he answer. I know that he taking his bachelor course overseas and already graduated few years ago, and currently working at our neighbor country. We do keep in contact, through media social, and most of the time, it was me who asking him questions, to have a little chat with him. It also like few times in a year. Can still be counts with one hand.

Wait! Did I heard he said 'to settle down'? I think I also just heard my heart shattered into pieces. "To settle down?"

This time, my voice cracked to contains my shock and you can say a heartbroken voice. He still smiling brightly. "Yup. Settle down,"

Of course he would have someone already. Who doesn't want to have a boyfriend, or so-called future husband as handsome and good hearted person like him. He'd been away from home for long. Should have taken alike with someone along the way.
