Crush or Korean Guy?{Romance} Chapter 1
Author: Elaine
I...
I have a crush.
He was my senior in my school last year. His appearance?
Handsome, tall, wears glasses, a prefect..
Totally perfect.
Then, one day i messaged him. At first, i just told him my name, class and other else. Then..
I CONFESSED TO HIM.
Yes, i know. I supposed to confessed to him face to face. But, i can't do it. I get so shy when we accidentally met each other. I didn't dare to look at him in the eye.
And his reply..
"Please, i don't like it."
Hmm, he rejected me, right? Yes, i think thats it. Haha.. I actually sad and heart broken. But, im okay right now.
He kindly rejected me, not like anyone else. Thats what i like about him. But, i didn't gave up yet!
I continued messaged him..
"Hi, what are you doing?"
"Did you eat today?"
"I hope you sleep well tonight."
Things like that. Mostly, he just read my messages. But, sometimes he replied my messages. Im so happy at that time. Haha, i like when he replied me even if just a bit. Im silly, right?
I knew, the reason he didn't always replied me. He busy studying for his exams, but im glad he didn't block me. Then, i decided i won't bother him until the exams over. I waited and waited..
After a week, the exams finally over. I quickly get out of my class, and then ran. And then.. i met him at the corridor.
I was like..
"Ah.. is that an angel waiting for me?" Haha, so silly.
I decided to talk to him at that time. Then, i approached him. He didn't realize yet. When i about to open my mouth..
A girl from his class approached him first. She said..
"Yusof, your mom want to see you" Oh, i guess i didn't mentioned yet about his name and age.
His name is Yusof Qardhawi. 17. And.. His mom were a teacher in our school. Ahh, i feel so good when i get to meet his mom.
Oh, lets continue. Then, with his cold voices, he said....
"Ah, really? Lets go then."
The girl then looked at me.
"Huh, who's that, Yusof?"
He looked at me with a confused face.
"Huh, when did she get here? I didn't realize.."
At that time, i really wanted to run from them. But, my legs won't move.
"You know her, Yusof?"
He hesitated. I knew he recognized me. Well, i always looked at him when i have free times. It can't be help, i like him so much.
"Ah.. Lets hurry and go. My mom must be waiting for me for a long time."
"Oh, okay then."
Im so happy he didn't say he didn't know me. After that, a teacher suddenly came from behind.
"What are you doing here? You didn't go home yet?"
A sweet voice. Like.. Oh!!
I turned quickly. Its his mom!
"Ah, teacher. I was just taking care of something."
"Oh, now you're done right? You should go now, its late." She smiled.
And i replied to her with a big smile.
"Okay, teacher."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Yusof: Huh, where's her?
"Ah.. Actually i lied to you."
Yusof: What? Such a waste of time. Im going.
"W-wait! I have something to say to you.."
Yusof: *sigh* What is it? Hurry up, don't waste my time.
"Yusof, i.. i've been liking you for a long time. Can you accept my feelings?"
Yusof: This is it?
"Ah.. Yes."
Yusof: Im sorry, i have someone that i like.
"What..? Who is it??"
Yusof: Why would i tell you? None of your business.
He then quickly went out from there.
He took out his phone and then look at a contact.
"Im sorry that i rarely replied your messages. But, please.. Wait for me. I can't tell you anything right now, i don't want give you false hope. So, please..
Wait for me." He said.
He then message me.
"Im sorry. Can you please don't bother me from now on?"
When i read it, i feels a bit sad. But, i know that he needs time. So, i stop bothering him until now. Whenever i have free times, i'll check whether he's online or not.
A few years later..
I have work now, as elementary teacher. Its quite easy. I get along with them pretty quick. I guess im good with children.
Its been 10 years since i saw him. I miss him so much. He has changed his number. I guess he don't want me to bother him anymore. I think i need to give up now.
*knock knock*
"Shifa, come out, i need to talk to you for a bit."
Oh, thats my name. Shifa. Shifa Ishak. And thats my mom.
I get out of the room. Then, i saw a few people in the living room. Stranger.
My mom then introduce me to them.
"Shifa, this is my friend and her son. Say hi to them."
me:Oh, hello.
"Oh, so this is Shifa. What a beauty." Mom's friend said. Her son just politely smiles.
Then, something unexpected happens.
me: Mom, what did you just said? Marriage??
That guy seems surprised as well. I guess he don't know anything about this.
"Yes, we have already decided this matter a long time ago."
So, this is marriage arrangement? Like, in the dramas? I can't believed mom and her friend already discussed this.
"What do you think of him?"
I didn't say anything, just look at him. Well..
He's handsome and tall, yes he's my type. But, I don't know him.
Then, that guy whisper something to his mom.
"Why don't we let the two of them talk about it?" His mom says.
What? You two gonna leave me with this guy?! Hahhhh Why do you do this to me, momm?
They left. Except for me and that guy. I look at him again and says..
"So, whats your name?"
"Jung Hyun. Cha Jung Hyun."
What? He's korean?
"You're... Korean?"I said.
"Ah, yes. But, im a Muslim. So, don't worry."
"Right... But, your mom...?"
"Ah, she's my step mother. My father's Korean."
Wow, i never thought my future husband would be a Korean. Wait, did i just said 'future husband'?? Doesn't that mean i agree with this marriage??
"*sigh*"
"Are you alright, miss?" He asked.
"Oh, im alright. Thank you for asking."
~silent~
"Mr. Cha, do you agree with this marriage?"
I hope not.
"Well, yes."
Tfk?? Are you kidding me? We just met, Mr. Cha. We don't even know each other.
"Why? Mr. Cha, we just met today. Is there any particular reason?"
Hah.... Im so angry right now...
"Yes, there is."
Then, lets hear it.
"I like you, Miss Shifa."
Whoa, whoa... Stop right there, Korean guy. He like me??? Tfk is going on here.. Right now, i just want to punch him in the face.
"W-what? You like me? But, we just me-"
"Yes, i like you. When i saw you earlier, i felt something i never felt before. A fresh feelings. My heart beats so fast when i looked at you. I can't stop smiling when i see your face. You're just... too beautiful to me."
Wow. So straightforward. He just confessed to me.
"But, i-"
My mom and her friend come in. I didn't get to finish my word there.
'I have someone i like already, someone i love already. So, i can't accept your feelings. Im sorry'
But... if i wait for him, will he come to like me? Its been 10 years since we messaged each other. He even changed his number.. Hah... I don't know anymore..
"Jung Hyun, lets go. We'll come here again another time."
"Ah, okay mother. Then, i'll excuse myself."(bows)
They left.
"So, do you like him?" Mom asked.
"Are you kidding? How could i like someone that i just met today? A stranger?!"
"Why? He's handsome, tall, kind and respect the elders. He's perfect. And you likes Korean guy, right?"
"Ughh.. Thats not the point, mom.. So, what if he's handsome? I don't like him and i don't want to get married yet."
"Then, do you have someone that you like?"
"I-"
I hesitated.
"Why?"
"I do have someone i like.. But.."
"He rejected you?"
"Its not like that... He.. just don't want me to bother him anymore.."
Ah.., i told mom everything.. What do i do now..?
"He said he don't want you to bother him anymore? *sigh* Thats mean.. He don't like you. He rejected you."
I keep quiet. I know that... I just can't accept it... I just want to marry him, not anyone else!
"Mom.. Can you please tell them? I don't want to get married with that guy..."
"I can't, Shifa. We already discussed this a long time ago since you're baby. Do you know what? Mom's friend from earlier, she's the one who named you. Shifa."
"What..? That aunty did..? Not you, or dad??"
"Yes, thats why we decided this.. If i rejected them, she will be sad.. I can't bear to see her sad because of this.."
"....." I just keep quiet.
"Please, Shifa. You're already 25 this year. I just want to see you get married before i die."
"Mom!Don't say that, please.."
"Then, please agree. Get married with him."
"I... i'll think about it."
Then, i quickly get up and go into my room. I sit down on my bed.
Hah... Im tired of all this... I don't want to get married... I never thought mom will forced me like this.. But, when mom said it like that.. I just can't refuse her.. Should i.. accept it?
~~
"Please... Wait for me a little bit more... I'll propose to you soon.." Yusof said.
"Shifa."
~~
A few days later, they came again. But this time...
They brought an Engagement ring and other else.
What do i do now........? They came here to propose to me!!!! Ahh someone help me...
Mom told me not to get out of my room yet. I wonder what did they discuss out there.... When i looked outside earlier, i didn't saw that guy at all. Ah, i forgot. The groom aren't supposed to come. Haha...
Ah, mom is coming.
"Shifa, come out."
"Okay, mom."
Hah...
"Shifa, do you agree?" That aunty asked.
"I... "
I looks at mom for awhile. Mom really wants me to get married to him. Should i just... agree?
"I.. agree." Hah... I said it.
That aunty smiles and then put the engagement ring
into my finger. I looks at everyone that came. Everyone were so happy, including my mom. She even cries. When i saw her, i can't help it and cries as well. Even though i didn't really agree to this. But... It can't be helped, right? She's my mom, i don't want to see her sad.
~~
Four months has passed....
Today is my wedding day. I put on my wedding dress nicely. Just because i want to see my mom's happy face. I should be happy right? Its my wedding day. Yes, i should be happy...
I take out my phone and looks his picture once again. My crush's face. Ah... I cried again. Haha..
Bye.. My crush. I'll always love you.
(In the living room)
"Where is the bride? The groom are already here."
"Ah, i will go-"
I get out of my room and then sit at my mom and dad.
"There she is. So, shall we begin the ceremony?"
.........
The ceremony went smoothly. That guy- i mean, my husband.. put the wedding ring into my finger and then kiss me. I looks around me.
Everyone's...... happy. They smiles so brightly... I should smiles like that too. I should be happy like my mom. I look at my husband and then smiles.
He's a bit shocked. But, he smiles at me as well. He must be so happy right now. He able to get married to the one he love. Yes... This is it...
I am a married woman now..
(On the wedding night)
Hah.. Im so tired today. I should go take a bath and then sleep early. I look at him, he seems tired too.
"Jung Hyun, you want to take a bath first?"
"Ah.. I-"
He hesitated. Whats wrong with him? Is he sick or what? Come to think of it, his face is a bit red... Should i just ask him?
"Whats wrong? Are you sick? Your face is a bit red."
"Ah.. Really? But, im not sick. I just feels hot right now."
Ahh, he's hot. Wait.. Don't tell me he's nervous.. No,no it can't be right...?
"Are you nervous..?"
Ah, no!! Why did i said that? Ugh, this stupid mouth!!
"Uh.. Why don't you go take a bath first? I need to get fresh air at outside." Ah, he avoided it.
Well, okay. He's nervous. I just go take a bath first then sleep.
~~
As usual, before i sleep, i'll look at his picture first. Say goodnight and then kiss him. Then, i fell asleep.
After awhile, Jung Hyun finally get out from the bathroom.
"Ah, she already asleep."
He sounds disappointed. Did he want do something if i didn't go to sleep yet? What a perv.
"*sigh* Just sleep for today.."
He slowly get in the bed. He then hugs me before he close his eyes.
Ugh, this guy.. Can i just sleep in peace?
"Jung Hyun."
"Ahh, you didn't sleep yet?"
"No, i already fell asleep. But, you suddenly touch me. So, i was shocked then woke up"
"Oh, sorry... Then, can i hug you while we sleep?"
"Im sorry, but im really really tired today. Can you sleep a bit farther from me? You're too close to me."
"Ah.. Sorry."
He seems so disappointed when he can't get close to me even if we're already married. Then, i turn around. I don't want to see his face before i fall asleep.
'Shifa.. I want to hold you, hug you, kiss you so much right now. But, you didn't let me to. I think i can't sleep today if i can't touch you tonight.'
"*sigh*"
He didn't sleep yet?
"Why are you not sleeping yet? Aren't you tired?"
"I have to hold something before i sleep. Can i hold you?"
Is he a kid? He need to hold something before he sleep? What a joke! Hah..
"Here... hold my hand."
"Thank you..." He smiles. He's such a baby!
He then slowly hold my hand. Not long after that, he fell asleep. Before, i didn't get to look his face closely. Now, when i looks at him.. I realized that his face were so handsome. Yes.. He's totally my type..
I think i can forget about him now.., Maybe...
The next morning, i open my eyes and then i look beside me. There's a guy sleeping soundly beside me.
WHY IS HE HERE??
Ah... I forgot that we got married yesterday... Thank god we didn't do anything last night..
He's opening his eyes slowly.. I just look at him.
"Oh, Shifa. You're already awake.. *yawn*"
"Um.."
We don't talk anything and just stares at each other. Then..
*knock knock*
"Are you both awake?" Its mom.
"Yeah, mom! We just woke up." I answered.
"Then, go wash up and come out for breakfast!"
Ugh... I don't want to get up yet.. Im still sleepy..
"Alright, we'll be there, mother!" He answered instead of me. Well, okay.
Oh, mom's gone. I should go back to sleep.
"Shifa, you went back to sleep?"
"You have any problem?"
"No, but.. Mother wants us to go have breakfast.."
Hah... This guy really..
"Alright, alright. Lets go."
"Wait."
"Hmm?" I turns back to see him.
*muah~*
Tfk?? Did he just kiss me? Thank god, its on my cheek. If its my mouth, i'll kill him for sure.
"You..."
"Its a morning kiss. I'll go take a bath first~!"
..... This guy.. What the hell..
~~
"Shifa, Jung Hyun. Come here have a breakfast."
"Okay, mom." I grab a plate but suddenly someone pull the plate.
Ugh... Why is it you?
"What are you doing?"
"Sis~ How's your night?~" Its Mier.(Younger brother)
"Huh?"
"Tell us please~~ We wanna hear it.."
"Mier... Lets have a breakfast first." Dad just talked in his serious voice.
"But i wanna hear it first~~ How is it, sis?~"
"Just so,so."
"Huh?? Whats that..? Sounds boring. You two didn't do anything last night?"
*puff!!*
Jung Hyun choked.
"*cough cough* Im sorry."
Whats going on with him..? Its not like we did that last night.
"Lets just keep eating." I said.
......
After breakfast, i go outside to take a walk for awhile. Im thinking...
