Today I will meet him again. My heart is so happy to remember that I haven't seen him in a long time. Even exchanging news through social media or chat was never done. Because after we graduated, we never knew the news of each.
Luckily yesterday, our classmates used to put us in a group that aimed to hold a reunion just for our classmates. I was shocked when I saw the name of the contact listed on the group member.
Celine Amartha, the name I've been missing all this time. She was my classmate in Junior High, I was very eager to make her my girlfriend, but I did not dare because I did not care and was afraid of being rejected. He's one of the smartest students in my class. He is so cheerful and loyal, yet he always stays away if approached by the opposite sex, except in a position together with other friends. He is also shy and quiet if not invited to talk first.
Now my heart ripples when I see his name, and my heart beats when I see his profile picture. Ah, she was so sweet, still as smiling as before, and her face was so soothing. I didn't think the girl I used to like was now a girl I thought was perfect.
His words never offended anyone else, and he never discriminated against his friend. May my girl who is now still good attitude even though she is getting beautiful.
Thinking about it feels torture to me. I accidentally squeezed her finger and began to greet her with a few words to calm my heart. I introduced my name, Alexandre Ferdinand. After that I asked him how he was doing. I was worried waiting for a reply for almost 24 minutes but there was no reply from him.
Trings...
The notification sound came from my phone. I'll just grab my phone, I hope the notification is a reply to a message from the girl I've been missing all this time.
Sure enough, he replied to my message. We exchanged news and started chatting about the past. It did not feel like time passed so quickly, it had been for two hours we chatted and joked through chat messages. We ended our conversation because he was getting sleepy because it was true that the clock had shown at eleven o'clock at night.
I looked at our chat room earlier, I did not think I would be able to meet again after all this time. Although we have not met yet, only through messages we chat, but it has made my heart too happy. For the next time, I will invite him to meet so that my heart is calmer.
Now I work in my hometown, Malang. My family moved after I graduated Junior High to the Capital City because my father was transferred to the Capital City. Therefore I after graduating Junior High moved to the Capital and attended school there.
I was far apart from my Junior High friends. Even I was separated from the silent girl I liked.
I am grateful and grateful to the friends who have made this chat group, because thanks to them I was able to communicate back with my beloved girl.
The morning sunshine greeted me. This morning I woke up feeling very light and happy. Remembering last night I can breathe a sigh of relief because I can communicate back with him to carry a dream in my sleep. I stretched my hand to relax after waking up, and suddenly I remembered my dream last night, the dream of reuniting with my girl.
Only by answering messages and dreaming with him can make me this happy, especially if I really meet him, I don't know what I will do.
Maybe I'll get dressed for joy. Ah, it would be so embarrassing. Actually I would love to hold her and hold her hand if I meet her later.
Will he give me permission if I ask? Of course I don't know the answer, because I've just started to get close back to him, not knowing what he is now.
Cring... cring....
My phone alarm rang again, waking me up to my delusion in the morning. I smile to see myself like this, for some reason at my age I am like an ABG child in love. Even when I had just opened my eyes, the first thing on my mind was her name, Celine Amartha, so beautiful her name was as beautiful as her face.
Unfortunately I regained my senses when my phone alarm rang again. Immediately I got up and rushed to the bathroom to immediately clean up because my time had been seized by my daydreams, I was afraid that I would be late to work.
Damn, today I have bad luck, but I want to say hello to Celine this morning even though only through a message or voice note. I put aside my wish. Later, I'll call him at lunch break.
What my day, I'm just an ordinary employee who thankfully has a decent position at this age of mine. I could have sent him a message at this time, but I did not want my concentration to be disturbed by my thoughts that must be centered on him.
Right now I just want my job done quickly and I intend to see Celine at work. Pick him up and take him on the road maybe. Or ask her to watch like we're dating. Ah, just thinking about it makes me excited to go through today.
"Let's get things done and we'll pick up my Celine" I exclaimed to encourage myself. I took the pile of files that I had to work on and started working on them all.
It's lunch hour now. I called him immediately. I can't stand my longing anymore. I dialed a phone number called Celine Amartha. In just three times the ring had been lifted, my heart surged with excitement.
"Hello, Celine. It's me Alex"
"Hi Al, how are you?"
"Okay, how are you?"
"good too. Uh what's the matter with the phone. hehehe...."
"Who, again kangen, can't you?"
"Hahaha... kangen who is the same? How do you call me anyway? wrong press your times"
"Yes miss you. What time did you come home? I picked ya up. We haven't seen him in a long time"
"Emmm. I came home around four or five. Wanna pick up? Are you around here?"
"Yes, I'll pick you up later. Wait..."
Ok.. ok. I wait, but if I stay late. Ahaha.."
"Basan you tuh. ok deh I must have got there at four o'clock"
"We'll see later, beware that until four o'clock. Hehe..."
"Ok, I won't. If I get there at four o'clock you should want me to watch ya?! "
"Well... How do you watch?"
"Gapapa, boys. Okay, wait a minute"
Tut. tut's..
The phone is closed unilaterally by Alex, so that Celine cannot protest her desire to watch it later.
03.45pm
Beautiful girl, wearing a black dress that contrasts with her skin color and with a good body caught my attention. He picked up his phone and pointed his phone at his ear, it seemed like he was contacting someone.
Drr....
My phone's vibrating. I took it out of my pants pocket, Celine Amartha's name on it. With a thumping chest I raised the call, he asked me where, and I told him where I was.
I spoke on the phone with Celine, but my gaze was on the beautiful girl in front of me. The girl turned her head towards me, she waved her hand, and ah. It turned out that she was Celine, the girl whom I had longed for.
My eyes widened to see his appearance that was very far from him in the past during Junior High. I returned his hand. He came closer to me, I don't know why my heart even teak-jeduk. My lips smiled involuntarily and my eyes were still staring at him, admiring him.
"Hi Al, it's been a while?" celine's smile was still the same, so sweet.
"Hi Cel, that's fine. Uh you're more beautiful," my god made her cheeks red.
"Ah You Al, just met a flirt", Celine looked the other way, maybe because she was ashamed she did not look at me.
Suddenly a girl came running towards us, "Ce... Cece..nih yours missed," turns out he's Celine's friend who delivered Celine's missing glasses.
Celine put the eyeglass box in her bag. After that he smiled at me, "Where are we going? Eat yuk, laper so much me"
"May, yuk," I returned his smile and took his hand walking into my car.
Celine was shocked when I held her hand. Looks like she's awkward, as I thought, she's still my old Celine.
In the car, I tried to melt the mood because she was still awkward after I opened the car door and let her in, she was embarrassed - embarrassed and after I got in the car she was very awkward.
"Kok was your friend calling him Cece anyway?" I'm trying to make her comfortable.
"Huh? Ow yes hehehe..originally from the name of Celine will call him Cece let the impeachment called him, continue because it was called Cece thought I was chinese, finally someone called Cici, Cici, you know what they like," Celine widened her smile revealing her row of teeth.
"Oow that... keep calling him what dong? Let them be different? It's actually an extension to call Celine," I thought about giving her my darling call before I ran my car.
"It's up to you, the important thing is that I know that you're calling me again" again - again he smiled showing a row of his teeth.
"Emmm... The ice? The sneak? The cicel? I think it's Cicel, Celine hahaha." I've found my dear call for her.
"Hahahaha, you may as well," now he laughs loosely, making me hypnotized with that sweet face when laughing.
"When you call me what?" ask me to fill the awkwardness when the car has been driven.
"Al, I used to call you Al" she replied, this time looking at me so intensely.
"Oiya yes, can be used as a call dear tuh, right others call him Alex or Lex, hahaha..," I laughed happily as if there is no burden of life for now.
"Dear call?" tanyanya's confused.
"Yes, my dear call made you Cicel, and your dear call made me Al," I glanced at him as I had to stare ahead of the wheel to concentrate on the road.
I want to keep looking at him, but I can't if it's like this. Just wait for later, I will definitely look at you without blinking.
I turned my car into one of the luxury restaurants located not far from the Mall that I planned to come after this to take Celine to watch.
I got out of the car first and opened the door for her. After that I held back his hand to walk into the restaurant.
It was really an opportunity that I was waiting for - wait, get this close to him and hold his hand. My heart was really beating hard. We chose the menu and ordered it.
As we waited for the food to come, we chatted to tell a lot about our high school days that were not one school, even we were far outside the city.
After the food came, we immediately ate it and I invited him to watch at the cinema which was in the Mall which was close to the restaurant where we were at this time.
Throughout the movie, I couldn't concentrate on the movie. My eyes without command always turned to the side where Celine was. He sits on my left. By not wasting the chance, I clasped his hand as long as the film was playing.
It was beautiful my day, reunited with the girl who is now growing wow, and can hold her hand since we were together.
I want to stop time, I don't want to return it, I still want to be with him. Unfortunately it can't happen. Now that the lights are on, the movie sign is over.
With a heavy heart I came out of the room, I was confused to take him where else, while the day had begun at night. Celine is still Celine, at her age she is still not allowed to go home at night.
I used to remember he said at 9pm he should be home. And now at 10 he should be home. Another story if he works or there is an event at night, his parents have their own clock rules.
Now I have to take her home. I still hold his hand when I walk. Now he's used to it. Either he can hear my heart beating or he can't. I was so overwhelmed by this, but I really enjoyed it.
In the car, I expressed my heart. I told her I liked her a lot, but I didn't dare tell her.
He was silent, but his cheeks were red again. I became very anxious for him. I wanted to kiss her red cheek. But I don't have the courage, because I don't want him to judge me badly.
My car stopped in front of her house, before she got off, I asked her back about her feelings for me, but not the answer I wanted her to give. He said he couldn't answer it now, because he wanted to ask his heart first. And I have no right to force it. I am so forced to agree with it.
I was about to open my car door to get out of the car and open the door for him, but he stopped me, he said I didn't have to open the door for him because it was night, and I need to get home soon. I followed his orders too. I don't know, from the beginning whatever he ordered I can't argue with him, maybe because I like him.
I drove my car away from her house. In the middle of the road my phone vibrated continuously, I was afraid it was an important call, so I pulled over on the street and I saw my phone.
Ah, I snorted annoyedly at the name of Diana, my fiancee, who will be my wife in a few days. For some reason since I met Celine again I forgot about Diana, and if I remember getting married to her, I just wanted to cancel it.
