It was just like any other summer day in my monotonous life, nothing exciting, just the regular day with sun rising from the east and night again fading away towards the other side of the earth, still the same old somber room with the same routine and same me with my gloomy attitude.
The train to the college was also alike any other, just me and invisible to others.
But for the first time, I felt a presence in my life when he asked me "can I take the seat beside you?" I nodded, but the brain was flooded. 'Wow, he can really see me. Did I do something special today? No, I didn't even take a bath because I was in a hurry'
Again, I felt the eyes which wanted to ask something. I calmed myself. "Is something wrong?" What with those puppy eyes. I just wanted to ignore them, but I couldn't. "Nothing I just wanted to say that I never thought I could finally gather the courage to talk to you, but now that I finally did, I feel really happy."
Shocking to know he knew me, but how until now, in all these years of my life, I was invisible to everyone. Sometimes, even my parents forgot they had me 20 years ago, but he knew me and wanted to talk to me. "Who are you, Do you know me?"
Again, his eyes lit up. "We are from the same major. I am your junior. Can we become friends senior" more than that, he want to be friends? I was surprised at how did I never noticed a person like him in my class. He is the definition of a walking model who still has to debut, but why me I am nothing special.
"You don't remember senior, but you helped me once when I had severe abdominal pain. You took me to the infirmary, gave me medicine and when I said I didn't want to be alone you smiled and stayed with me until I felt better. I don't know how, but after that you just started coming into my line of vision, wherever I go. It's like I can find you no matter where you are. I saw you helping so many people. For some reason, they don't seem to notice you helped them, but I can see you just wanted to help you are a kind senior and I."
His eyes are shining like gems and even on this crowded train I can hear his heartbeat. I think they just turned on the train's heater because my ears and cheeks are feeling hot.
"I like you senior, and I know you don't even know me. That's why I don't want an answer right now. I know my reasons are impure to be your friend, but I don't know any other way to get close to you."
Yup, I am ill definitely something wrong with me. Did I just receive a freaking confession "I am sorry but I"
"Sorry senior, I don't want to hear it. I told you I didn't want an answer. Even if you say anything, I am going to pursue you until I can enter your heart and see that smile of yours which makes me fall for you."
After that, how many summers have gone? I don't remember how many winters and springs we spent together. I don't remember, but in my nonexisting life he became an existence which makes it worth living.
It was the most ordinary day for the most ordinary me, but right now, if you ask me, that day of summer four years ago was the brightest one I had ever seen.
At this moment, when I am a little more mature, I get what it means when they say that in your book you are always the main character, no matter how ordinary the book is, it's always about you and nobody else, even though I was invisible. I am the most important part of this story which will go on even without him in it anymore.
