A diary of Ray Part 4.

...

She gave me a smile , without an answer , she stood up and said " Lets go". Is that a yes ? I dont know , without a confirmation , i just looked at her walking her way through the dark paths ,and slowly dissapear. The park was so quiet and crickets begin to sing as the park was so peaceful , and i went home , leaving the puzzle undone.

"Happy Valentine Christine."

16th feb. Had you ever felt love before ? A girl asked me with a serious expression on her face.

I went to school , as usual. the air felt cool and refreshing , the cool breeze hit my face, revitalizing me, temporarily letting me
forget my crush on christine . Everyone was either huddled up in a corner to catch an afternoon siesta or walking as fast as they could to their destinations. , nothing could be heard except for the sound of footsteps and the tapping sound of raindrops. Teachers' cars were leaving as school had ended.I was sitting alone at the canteen table , flipping the pages of my story book. Teryn bought her lunch and came to the table i was sitting.

"Mind if i sit here ? " She asked.

"Have a seat." I said as I faked a big smile as i really wanted to be alone to my feelings

She asked me alot about my love life , I told her that i was in love somebody. All out of a sudden , she mentioned about Christine. She told me Christine was her primary school classmate and best friend since then. This conversation become more meaningful as a million questions popped out from her mouth.

"Ray , have you ever fell in love with a girl u in the first sight you see her? " Curiosity was plastered all over her face , pressuring me as she was expecting some postive answer from me.
I paused and continue to read my book , She came nearer to my ear and whispered ,

"I think Christine is in love ." She was giving me an evil smile "Not you silly!" and walked away into the pouring rain with her umbrella.

After what Teryn had said , i was being curious all day long , thinking is Christine in love with someone else ? I took a long shower , and i cant get it off my mind. I looked at myself in the mirror , being obssesed of what Teryn said earlier just now , wondering why am i not borned with a handsome face that easily attracts girls.

18th feb , im tired as i cant get enough sleep for the past 2 days. Stress kept me awake. I wandered around my mind , making up beautiful scenes like what i saw earlier in the movies. Candles , music and any other things that bring romance to life.

I met Christine at the CentralPark Hill around 6 , We went jogging for awhile and waited until sunset. We joked about the old folks who are walking in funny way , bouncing their buttocks up and down.

Sunset was beautiful , the sunshine had blinded the colour of the scenery but you're still as colourful as u'd always been in my heart. She stared at me in a different way , pulling her gasp and told me she is in love , just like what Teryn told me that day.

"So it was true ? " i asked her while looking at the sun.

"Teryn told you huh ? She's such a chatterbox ! " blush began to appear on her cheeks.

" So who is the lucky guy? " Faking the smile out of my face , trying to be cool as i was facing to the sun , pretending to feel happy for her as i was expecting some other guy's name.

She wiped her sweat off , and turned her head giving me an awkward look.

"I had.. the best day of my life on valentines day. I'd found a guy that really cares about me and i think i had a crush on him , he was willing to sacrafice his lonely valentine just to cheer the innocent girl up." She said this under her breath.

"Uhh.." i looked at her , trying hard to believe what i heard from her was all true. Pinching my other hand as hard as i could , i was so relieved that i felt pain. I looked into her dark bronish pupils , the reflection in her eyes had given me the courage to open my mouth and said.

"I love you , Christine"...
