"Sweetie! Wanna hear some stories?" I ask the kid. "Yeyy!! Yes we want!" he reply. "Okay lets start?" I said.
"Every day, there's a boy who always go to the library in the morning to see the girl he likes. Running in the broad of light, the girl sits on the corner of the shelf reading a novel.
He always hiding in the shelf then he sudden slip the book he's been holding. The girl look where the noise came from. He's surprised to see the girl is smiling at him. He realizes that the book he held is about the constellation which is the favorite of the maiden. Then the girl come in front of him helping him to stand up . The girl seems to be interested in him.
"Hi! Im Lianne. It's nice to meet you"
"Im Nathan. Nice to meet you too"
"You seem to be interested about stars , Lianne?"
"Yes, Isn't that obvious?"
Nathan knows that because he was always watching the girl reading about stars and the girl notices him watching her closely .
They been chatting in the library for an hour. They seem comfortable with each other.
“Maybe I should go now?”
“Hmm Okay see you then”
“See you tomorrow”
Out of nowhere, the boy suddenly get blushed and he don’t know what’s that feeling, He is excited.
1 month have passed. They became friends. They known each other in that short period of time. They share memorable moments that happened then. They exchanges phone numbers , read same book, tell their weaknesses and strengths and playing instruments as well.
As time goes by , Nathan finally realizes that he falls in love with Lianne and he wants to confess his love when Lianne's birthday comes. He's afraid and shy to tell his feelings and maybe he'll be rejected but he believes that his love is true.
He have 7 days left to prepare for her birthday . The gift he prepare is a Moonlight Necklace, the necklace which you can give to the person who lights up your world.
On Lianne's birthday , there's a lot of family relative that is invited and come to her house and she invited Nathan as well. Nathan keeps waiting on the tree besides the playground where he can see Lianne. He brings homemade chocolates that his mom made and the Moonlight Necklace as his gifts.
When the guests all went home , Lianne messages Nathan that she will now go to the tree. She saw Nathan on the bench.
"Hey? Im here!" she runs towards him. "The party is over" she said. "Happy birthday Lianne Here! My gift...."
She happily open the bag and surprise on what she see.
"It's homemade chocolate? I miss this"
"Mom did not put any nuts on it"
"I know you had allergy in nuts , you told that to me before."
She suddenly feel blush because there's other person who knows her well and it's kind of lovely.
But she suddenly feel sad because she only have two days before she move out into her new apartment and she don’t know where her apartment. She smiled to Nathan and he ask.
"What's the matter ? Are you okay?"
"Yeah but to be honest, Im going to move out on into a new apartment and i dont want to leave y--" then her father called her.
"Bye Nathan! It's already midnight! Thanks! I need to go now! Byee!"
"But--- i failed i promise that i will confess tonight maybe next time there's 2 days left and before she leaves i make sure that she knew that i really want to cherish her "
then he leave.
He lays on his bed. He still cant stop thinking about Lianne. He feel uneasy when he says the word "moved out".
He don't want to leave Lianne and he wants her to be on his side everywhere and everytime he thinks that he is selfish but its not. He goes to the library and sat to his usual seat and he looks to the girl who happily reads a book.
His heart fluttered and remembers that Lianne will leave on 2 two days . Suddenly, he run towards the girl and realizes that he dont know what he's doing .
He hugs Lana and she hugs him back too. Lianne is not sure about the feelings she have for Nathan but when Nathan hugs her she is sure about the last thing that she is inlove with him and dont have regrets on choosing him. The warm feeling that they now sharing is mutual and noone can change it.
"Lana..... I.. like... you...."
The words that she wishes to hear is now being said by the person who care, who love, who protect, who saves her from giving up.
She kiss his forehead and said.
"I like you too"
"But you are leaving right? Are we not going to met again? I dont want to lose you? Please dont leave?"
" Dont mind it right now. I want to be with you. Can I?"
"Okay, if's that what you want ". They chatting till the sun sets and happily expresses their love to each other. It's the sweetest moment of his life. Then her father gaved out the address of her apartment and “he’ll be surprised for sure ”.
He rides on the earliest bus to get on to the house of the girl. She finishes to pack up her things and ready to go now. He requests that he will go with Lianne to ensure the safety of the maiden.
She agreed and they ride now on a bus. Nathan thinks that he will not see the girl who makes him happy, who makes him feel that he's worth it, who loves his flaws and imperfections.
He thinks that Lianne can meet other man when he's not around and find someone who will loves like he does.
He's paranoid now because she truly loves this girl. But he suddenly thinks that way of their destination is so familiar to him and the bus stops.
In his mind, "My apartment is near here" "Why are we here" "Are we in the right place?"
I follow her then he stops to my next door and
"Were here!"
In shock, "Huh? You are my new neighbor? The one who should move today?"
"Are you not happy? Because it's me?"
"No, I thought I would not see you again. I really love you "
" I love you too".
After 8 years, they became a wedded husband and wife and lives together till now
"May i ask where are they now?" The kid said.
"Hmmm... They are living now with their grandchild." I said.
"Honey! Im back!"
"Yey Grandma! Grandpa told me a story about who named Lianne and Nathan! It's a nice love story! "
"ALEX NATHAN DOMINGO!" She shouted at me.
"Why? LIANNE JANE DOMINGO? need something?" I laughed hard.
"Let's go and find something to eat dear". She said to the kid.
"Wait me up" I said.
