Yaya had only been gone for a few minutes but it felt like years. But at the same time, I held on to one hope that we would meet some other time.
Wow! This is the first time I've actually stayed interested in a guy, who could give me everything I deserved, someone I would marry and have kids with.

The times we'd spent together kept flashing my mind until when mom came in and sat by my side. "Actually, um... I wanted to talk to you..." Mom said. I sucked in a deep breath, but all the oxygen seemed to have been drained from the room. I knew where the conversation was going, and I knew how it would have to end.

There was a moment of silence before mom spoke.
"All things aside, do you like him enough to be in relationship with just him?" Mom asked and looked into my eyes, but I seemed to be loss for words.
Should I say something? I thought nervously. But what was I supposed to say?
Better keep quit. My tongue felt heavy in my mouth, and I wasn't sure I would even be capable of stringing a coherent sentence together right now.

I'm shy now, but I did a fantastic job of hiding it. I shot her a smile.
"Mom, this subject is not up for discussion."

Come on, it's just only us. Mom nudged me. Mom noticed me smiling at her, though I seemed to be on a completely different planet.

"Ummi, what are you smiling at?"
Mom quirks her brow awaiting the answer.

"Oh, just you"
I blinked coming back to reality and smiled.
Everything then returned to normal as I inhaled a lungful of air. I was surprised by my sudden burst of confidence, though decided to fully embrace it.

It was finally Friday, the end of this long week. My alarm went off and wake me up from my bed. I looked to see what time it was on my phone until I saw a message from my heart's darling.

================================
Ummi:
G'mrning, how was your night Hero? 😙😚😍😘💕
================================
There was nothing quite as adrenaline- inducing as seeing a message from your heart's darling, unexpectedly or expectedly for that matter. So, I smiled and texted back.
================================
Me:
G'mrnin Heroine. How are you today? I hope u had a peaceful night. ❣🍫
================================

Wow! His message sent a delicious shivers through my body. Though, I wondered why it had taken him so long to reply back my message.

Please make this morning greetings a daily routine, I silently prayed.

***His POV***

I took my amazing morning tea, and it did wonders to my taste buds, yet made my stomach churn at the same time.
I then went through my whatsapp chats. Please Ummi be there, I silently prayed, my nerves thrumming with anticipation.
That was the good and bad thing about having a major crush: it made you that much more excited to go online with the anticipation of seeing them, but if they weren't there, you just ended up horribly disappointed.

I was a lonely man, but I was an expert at hiding my true thoughts.
I looked around to see my siblings running around and playing.
I smiled at this, I've always been fond of children.
As a matter of fact, there's nothing I would like more than to have my own children, but it would have to be with the right person.
Someone I could see myself spending the rest of my life with; Someone I love; Someone I'll share everything about myself without any hesitation.
