I was walking on our school corridor, As I bumped into someone, It's Eva She's my classmate who Always spend her money on something, Just to Show it in our class, It actually don't bother me at all, She always Tease me for being poor, Without knowing that I'm actually a Heir of our Company, I keep my identity in low profile, Not even my friends know about it,
As I was sitting in the bench, Eva Approached me and said
"Oh? Chaim, You're not eating again? Why don't you buy something to eat?"
"ah, No, I'm not hungry" I answered to her "Yup, it's not like you have money"
She turned her back at me and Leave,... Sigh, She always do that, I already get used to it.
As day passed nothing change, She always approached me just to complain to something I don't have,
"Chaim, Why don't you get a part time job?"
"I'm busy at school work"
I answered without looking at her, I feel her eyes into me as she sit besides me,
I was about to stand up and leave, Knowing what she'll say next but instead, She ask me,
"Chaim are you free Tomorrow?"
I look at her as I see her face with a soft smile in it,
"do you want to come with me in mall tomorrow?"
I was wondering if she has already found out about me,
"Why are you asking me now? What did you eat today?"
She laughed and said
"can't I treat my classmate?"
"treat? You're going to treat me? what's up with you today?"
"Ah, I Know it's too suddenly but it's fine if you don't want to come"
"No, no,,, I want too"
I agreed to come with her, I'll say she's acting different, and I want to find out why
We agreed to meet in the mall,
"hello? Chaim, I'm already here, Where are you?"
"Look at your back" I smile and wave at her,
We play in arcade, Eat together, and And went around the mall, and as she said she'd treat me, and I didn't even spend a coin, I saw a different side of her, I'll say I enjoyed it, that I even forgot to ask her why did she ask me out, Hold up,,, Did we just have a date?
"Hey, Eva, ....Why did you ask me to come with you today?"
"ahhh, Yes, about that, I just want to- I just want to say sorry to you, To everything said, I know I always bully you at school and this is my way of showing that I want to make a peace with you?"
"that was actually unexpected coming from you,,, It's actually fine it doesn't bother me at all" I smiled at her,
She sit in the chair and gesture to me to sit with her,
"Believe it or not, But the store I was working in have to reduce the number of their employee,,, And i was one of them,"
I can feel that she's just forcing her smile
"And I'll say that Maybe you'll see me not spending that much in school, and it's also my payback because even if I'm always teasing you is, You're still kind to me,"
She fall silent in a second,.
"oh? I actually know something, do you know the shop we passed by earlier? They actually lack of sales lady..."
"Really?" Her eyes look at me with delight
Literally it's not my friend who Needs a Cashier, And This mall we Visited is one of my father's businesses,
It's been a week since she became a Cashier in the bookstore, And I'll say that I barely see her anymore since then, So I decided to come and buy a book in the shop she's working at,
"Good Evening, Sir, What can- Oh? Chaim it's you, You came to visit me?"
"Visit you? no, I'm actually here to buy a book"
I saw her frown and
"you buy a book? are you even reading a book?"
I miss this side of her...
After that day I've been going more and more to the bookstore,
"You're always here, Are you even reading the books you're buying?"
"H-huh? Of course I do"
"you're lying, You're not reading it"
I was wondering how did she found out that I'm not reading it, Oh well I actually didn't, I'm just here to see her and I can't deny that I'm falling for her...
We become much more closer to each other as the day passed, I'm also falling for her even more,,,
That's it,,, I'm already going to say it to her today, I'll confess my feelings for her, I would like to take my chance and court her,
I was walking in the high way when I suddenly feel that something hit me,,,
I woke up in the hospital bed, Ah yess, I got hit by a car, actually I'm already fine and currently resting in the Hospital, And I'm writing my Diary, Sadly I didn't even manage to ask Eva that day, And... More than that the doctor said that I need to go on a surgery, And the chance of survival is 50/50,
And That's it,,,, Chaim didn't survive, I am reading his diary, Chaim's father gave me his diary as it was his son last wish,
Chaim why does it have to be like this? You're so Cruel,,, At the very first day, I always pity you, so I say to myself that I'm going to save money so that I can take you out, Chaim I always wanted to help you seeing you not eating in school everyday hurts me but my pride can't take back for a Moment,
but why did you leave me now that I have save money to take us out? I always knew that you're not reading the books you're buying because every book you buy I always put the love letter I wrote in it, How I wish you read just one of them, how I wish I just manage to express how Thankful and how much special you're to me, I didn't even manage to say the word I always want to say
"Chaim, I've always love you"
