After the event is over, I sat relaxing myself in the gazebo. Sitting with legs dangling. Looking back on past sad stories and today’s happy stories. It’s totally just like a dream. Dream that impossible to believe. Become the favorite princess in this bungalow house. My character is also not rude like before. Maybe because there’s people is already protecting us, so I don’t have to pretend to be like a guy anymore. I’m just being myself as before. Like mom and dad are still there.
” Ahem! Deep in thought? ”
I gasped and turned away. Daniel? Why did he come here? Just ruining my mood! I raised my back to pass. But he reached my hand quickly.
” Sit down, I want to talk a little. ”
I stiffened. I didn’t even care to turn around. Staring far ahead. What I’m thinking about, I’m not sure myself.
” Please… “
I finally agreed to his request.
” Charlee, are you still mad at me? “
Hush. For a long time.
” Charlee, please… don’t do this. I’m sad that you treat me like this. It feels very tortured. Charlee, let’s reconciled? “
I turned away. Staring at him sharply.
” You said you wanted to make peace before? But then, what you did? ”
He smiled staring at me. I frowned not understanding.
” Even if you are still angry, but at least you have spoken to me again. ”
His sharp eyes stared at me. I looked away.
” Charlee, you look so beautiful tonight, you know? “
I stay silent. I felt my soul tremble when I heard his praise.
” It was not in vain that I arranged everything. “
Ha? Arrange everything? So that’s someone is him? Such a stupid jerk! If I knew he did arrange everything, I wouldn’t have wear this dress. But, this dress is beautiful.
” Do you like this dress? ”
Yeah, I like it! I like it so much! I just answered in my heart.
” It’s hard for me to find it, luckily the size suits you. ”
He turned to stare at me when he saw me keep silent.
” Charlee, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for what happened. Since we first met, I’ve done too much wrong to you, right, Charlee? ”
Hmm, good if you realised! Every time I see you, I must have a disaster, you know?
” Hmmm… Charlee, how’s the school? ”
” Okay. ”
He smiled.
” Do you want me to teach you? ”
” No need! ”
He smiled again.
” What subject are you not good at? I’ll buy you a book later, Okay? ”
” No need! ”
He was still smiling. He’s really weird. Even if I answered rudely, he didn’t get angry. Usually he always being so low temper.
” Just now, is your school friends, right? “
” Yes. ”
” They’re good to you, right? “
” Yes. ”
” They’re the one who always helps you study, right? ”
” Yes .”
” You like me, right? ”
” Yes. ”
Huh? Damn! I shut my mouth.
He laughed so hard.
I shut up. Staring angrily at him.
” That’s why, give me an answer again yes … yes…yes… then busted. ”
He continued to laugh. I changed my position facing him and punched his muscular shoulder.
” You baddie! Baddie! ”
I continued to hit him and without realizing it he had grabbed my wrist. I was stunned. His eyes were directly staring into mine. His laughter is gone. His face suddenly look so serious. My heart is beating very fast. I tried to pull my hand away but I couldn’t.
” I like you too, Charlee. “
Erk? My mouth is locked. I was trembling and shaking.
” I feel… I’ve fallen in love with you. ”
Feel? Just feel?
” Since when did you feel that way? ” My voice was slow trying to calm down.
” Since the first time I met you, since I knew you are girl. “
” Oh, since you slapped me until I fell down, right? ”
” Charlee, please don’t talk about past thing now. I feel really guilty. It’s hurt me here, you know? ” His index finger pointed to his chest.
” Charlee, please….”
I was silent. For a long time. I took a deep breath, as deep as it was deep. I tried to control my emotions. I don’t want to get lost in my emotions and fall at the feet of anger.
” So, do I have a chance? ”
” Huh? Chance? Chance for what? ”
” To capture your heart. “
He looked at me softly. I panicked. I myself don’t know what I feel right now. And I don’t like it. I just shrugged my shoulders. A long sigh was heard from him.
” It’s okay if you’re not ready. I’m willing to wait. “
Wait until you’re older. Wait forever!
I lifted my back to leave. It didn’t feel good to be alone with that man. But his hand was more efficient at grabbing my hand.
” Where do you want to go? ”
” I wanna go inside! Why? ”
” I’m not finish talking yet. ”
” But I’m done! “
He got up and stood facing me. Staring at me softly with a smile on his lips. I was very nervous. He still held my hand.
” Let me go! ”
” I will let go if you promise not to run away.”
I looked away.
” I haven’t finished talking yet. Don’t you dare to run away. ”
What else? I’m really lazy to hear what he want to say. Also worried if there are eyes watching me and him.
I nodded slowly. He also slowly let go of my hand.
” What is it? Hurry up. ”
” Even though I know you are still angry with me, but I am happy because at least you want to talk to me again. Let’s stop this cold war, hmm? I miss you. I miss hearing your voice…so, I hope we can start over, okay? ”
” Start? ”
He nodded and stared straight into my face.
” Start our friendship. Start our relationship as brother and sister? Or… as a couple? ”
I almost choked on the saliva I swallowed. I’m confused. I don’t want to date you. My body will be miserable later by your punch and kick.
” Charlee, can I? ”
I was silent. What do I want to answer?
” Charlee? Please, I need your answer. ”
” Errr, I don’t know! “
” You don’t know? You need time? ”
” Daniel. I need to take an exam this year. So, please don’t mess with my brain, okay? ”
He sighed heavily and stared at me for a long time. A look of disappointment was evident on his face. Suddenly I feel guilty.
” So, did I confessed in the wrong timing? Alright then, I’ll be waiting for you babe. ”
” Thank you. ”
I really meant it. Indeed, now is not the right time for me to think about my heart and feelings. About love. I myself am not sure of my feelings. I stepped away from him.
” Charlee! Wait. ”
My steps stopped again. I turned away. Looking at him who was a few meters behind me. Still standing upright in the gazebo.
” Have you forgive me? ”
I stared at him blankly. Have I forgave him? Until when should I hold a grudge against him? Having an enemy who lives next door really makes me uncomfortable. If I forgive what he did to me first, will our relationship recover?
I gave a thin smile and nodded slowly. I saw him smile. Yes, it feels good. My chest is spacious. Dissolved a load of revenge that is. bothered me for so long. Indeed forgiveness is the most beautiful revenge.
