On September 8,2025….I felt the spark again…
After not seeing each other for seven months, he asked me out to have a coffee with him, yes he’s the man, the man I had long admire for a year and four months…. Although my parents never let me out at night, I lied to them because of him saying I had to check out on my patient and let me out…..
Please allow me to introduce myself…. My name is Luna(not my real name tho) and this is my true story what is going my life…I hope you will enjoy it.,,.Since english is not my first language and my first time short story, there might be a lot of grammar mistakes, I beg your pardon..,,,
He was waiting me on the road at the end of our steps….He was sitting in his scooter, wearing a puffer jacket and a payjama, watching his phone….
I was hesitate at first and not dare to approach him…But after mustering up my courage, I can move my leg and walk towards him. He look at me, I was so shy and take the initiative to talk to avoid the awarkness…. My hands are shaking, my face was burning as I talked to him…. I don’t know if he was noticing or not to my tremble voice… I told him that there was no coffee shop open near my house….
He asked me to sit on the back of his scooter, I was hesitate at first, he stare at me in my eyes, I look away afraid that he might see through…. He told me that he could bring me back again before midnight yet it’s already half past ten at night…
“It’s already late tho” I said as I hop on to his acooter…. I’ve got my period today, the cramp is too hurt, but I endure it because of him….
The man who talked to me like a two or three months whole and then stop chatting and left me seen for a whole seven months….
On the first time he sennzone my message, and stop everything like we had never met….. We haven’t talked for four months, I cannot hold myself, I missed him so much to the point that bring me to call him and fake a scene, mistook him with my collague who had the same name as him…. We have talked for five months straight again, he take me out for a dinner on january cold night…. But suddenly he left me on seen again, but this time I told myself I should move on…. I thought he doesn’t matter anymore and I never bother to care and think I was really moved on….
Another four months has passed, one day I saw his message….. I was hesitate to open it, I kept him waiting me for an hour, but then again I cannot kept him on seen like he did to me….And we start talking again….But this time, unlike other days, I don’t felt anything and think I was move on….
But that night, when I saw him for the first time in a while……. My hearts pounding, ohhh!!! he’s still handsome, as handsome then before… As we reach the coffee shop, we brought it takeout and find a place to drink….. He took me to the place where the night winds blow, under the street light where I can cleary see his face, where the trees and moon are standing forward me just as they looks like they are here to witness my barely night with him…..
He sit on the bar of a footpath, I coldn’t bring myself to stand beside him, so, I stood two feet away from him and stare at the sky. Between the tree branch the moon is lit up to me… He asked me to hold his coffee for him, I hold it and then he start litting his lighter and lit the ciggaratte on his pink lips…. I was stunt and bluntly asked when did he start smokingand that I think he never smoke cause he never told me….. He answered me that he had been smoking for a long time and only smoke 5 times a month, he take his coffee from my hands when he finished smoking….
Ohhhh!!!!! No!!!!! Our hands touch!!! I just take my hand back like I didn’t feel anything….. But deep down, I’ve got a butterfly on my stomach, I can feel the warmth from his hand….
After we had finish our coffee and a little chit chat, he take me home and make him left first cause I want to see him off…. And then we continue chatting again and for the third time, I Fell for HIM again…
I cannot tell if I love him, but I know, I like him so much….. I don’t know if I love him or not because no one had ever love me and I don’t know how to love tooo.,,,
So is this a love or just a manipulation of mind…..
Thankyou for reading my little story🤍
