When the Camellia blooms

Camellia Blooms - SIXTY-FOUR

Appear

He appeared like a dream to me.

You're my anchor that keeps me away from sinking to a bottomless pit of darkness.

You are my sun and my moon, forever in my life.

Time keeps slipping by and by the time I knew it, you've been by my life for years.

I was blind.

I took you for granted and you let me. But I do feel a slight regret but not really. If I regret taking you all for me, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you and for that reason, I do not regret.

Call me selfish but that's what I feel.

But now, I'll let you use me. I will do everything to make you love me again, anything you wished for, I will grant.

And I'll be the one to do the waiting from now on.

...

It didn't take long for my mother to notice the paleness in my face and ordered a doctor immediately.

"Ma...no...I...uh...need...go.... airport"

I was talking in pieces and I can't seem to say what I actually wanted to. I was just filled with fear and anxiety.

I wanted to get out of here and go to his side

To Yuu.

"Callia? What are you saying?"

"Ma! I need...I need to go to-to the airport!" I said with so much urgency, my feet met the floor and I tried to stand up and open the door.

"Callia! What are you doing?! You're still not healed!"

Opening the door, I almost run towards a doctor and thankfully, was saved by my father who was out before.

"Pa! I need.. airport... Yuu!" I was almost crying, my hands were trembling as well as my legs for standing up for too long.

But I endured.

"Callia what-"

"Airport! I can't let Yuu leave!" I was crying to this point, tears blurred my eyes as I held on my father's shirt before I collapsed on the floor.

Sobs of pain left my lips, I was sitting in the cold hard floor but I didn't care. I need to go to him, I need to see him, I need to-

"Let's go" I heard my mother said and before I could process her words, my father carried me towards a taxi.

My mother is on my right holding a phone on her ear as my father gave directions to the taxi driver and before I knew it, we were off.

...

I was still wearing hospital clothes and my hair is in a mess, not to mention the tear stained face I have. I must have looked like I escaped from the hospital or worse, a mental patient.

I tied my hair and tried to have a presentable face. My hands were still trembling and I couldn't help but to be nervous again.

My mother called Yuu, she said that she need to talk to him. I also learned that Yuu will be leaving to learn in an academy his friend recommended. It was postponed when I was in a coma and with what I just learned, my insides felt awful.

All this time, he's always on my side, helping me and cheering me up.

All this time, all he does is to stay in my side but what did I do? I was sulking on my own problems not thinking that he too has problems.

Haven't I troubled him enough?

"He's here" my father said and I was now wringing my hands from nervousness.

I didn't notice that my parents left me with him. He took a seat and looked at me, his face was a bit pale and I could see the fatigue in his eyes.

Before I knew it, I spouted the words I wanted to say to him.

"Yuu.... I-I uhh....I love you... I-I really, really do!"

He looked shocked, his eyes were trembling and I could see his face blushing. Coughing a bit, he blinked multiple times and ask.

"What?"

"I said I love you!"

There I said it now!

"Wha-why uhh...how...no-uhmm...are you s-sure?"

He was flustered, I don't think I've seen him this flustered before. He was still looking at me, his eyes were swirling with intense emotions that I couldn't keep up with him.

"I do. I am sure that I love you"

There's no doubt about my answer. I wouldn't exactly say that I fell in love with him due to my dreams but it could be said that it was an eye opener to me.

I think I have loved him before but was too caught up in my past.

"Yuu...what is...what is your answer? Do you-"

"Of course I love you too! How could you- aish! You know that I am in love with you way before we were kids! I've been dreaming about this- you confessing your love towards me- but it's too surreal. I don't....you've never see me as a guy before! It's....ugh! Why do you have to confess now!"

His words were too hurried but I can still catch his meanings. Before I know it, my tears have already gushed out of my eyes as I hugged his figure tightly.

"I'm sorry Yuu...hic...I'm sorry for making y-you wait for too...too long...hic"

He stiffened at first and then embraced me, his hug was warm and gentle. I could still remember how much I've missed his hugs every time I cried.

"I love you, you know that right?"

I nodded at him, my head still burrowed on his neck. He chuckled for a bit and continued his gentle caress on my head.

I don't want this to end.

"You need to let go of me now"

"No!" I said, hugging him tightly than ever.

I was afraid.

Afraid that he will leave me and will never come back again.

"I'll come back so...wait for me..hmm?"

I coukdn help but cry again, I don't care if I act like a child in his arms once more because this will be the last time that I will see him, so why should I care now?

It took me a moment before I could answer, and I know, I will do everything he wants me to.

After all, he's done everything he can for me to stay happy.

"I will....I will wait for you"
