"And you were"? His sudden question broke my heart into pieces. The fantasy I had in my heart crumbled like trash paper. Millions of thoughts crashed my mind.
" I. I am...", An unfamiliar girl held her hands with yours. Seeing her a smile bloomed on your face.
I couldn't complete my words, I walked away holding the little story we never had.
9 years ago, On this same road. I tripped during heavy rain. I wish someone could lift me from the ground. But no one appeared, Because I was that ghost girl who is alive but people treat me like I don't exist. I wasn't sad, partially I knew the truth about my life.
"Hold my hand", An unknown offered help.
" No, it's okay. You can go", I didn't want to involve a stranger in my horror life. But he didn't seem he is willing to leave.
"Why are you always like this, Anna"?!
" Holy shit", I tripped again, not because the road was slippery but he called me by my name. The name no one except my class tutor calls me.
"You know me"?, My jaw dropped.
" What kind of jock is this. Arent you my classmate. Now get up ", He lifted me from the ground.
" Sam"!!!, A group of boys and girls called out his name. He waved off and left with a small smile on his lips.
That very smile gave me hope. A hope which turned into love.
Every day I woke up replaying your smile. You smiled whenever you saw me. And I suppressed my smile but managed to peek at you. Those 4 years of school weren't as hard as I thought.
I imagined our first date and the stories I was going to tell you. I believed we were fated. That was the reason I didn't cry on our farewell day at school.
one day I saw a friend request on my Instagram. I still remember that day was the happiest day I had in my life.
"Anna, Hi", The first text you send me. I was thinking about how to type hi to you.it took 2 days to send you a reply.
we never had any conversations except wishing birthdays and hi byes. You never had any idea what those texts meant to me.
and that's how my 9 years of one-sided love was. Now I can't call it a love story. But my heart couldn't handle that. The unsaid feelings were hurting me inside. How can I confess them. I sighed wiping those tears.
" Who was that"?, The girl who held his hands asked.
"I will buy some drinks", He excused himself from there and walked to the school gulping hard.
" Anna!, He smiled staring blankly at the school. Wiping those teary eyes, he watched her walking away.
