...And I Don’t Know Why

7th grade

I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn’t notice me like that, I knew it. After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don’t wanna be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why...

11th Grade

The phone rang. on the other end it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, & 3 bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don’t wanna be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why…

Senior Year

The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is Sick" she said; he’s not qonna go well I didn’t have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night After everything was over I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her, She smiled at me I want her to be mine, but she doesn’t think of me like that and I know it. Then she said "I Had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why…

Graduation Day

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body looted like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, you’re my best friend, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the Cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that don’t wanna be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why…

A Few Years Later

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that and I knew it. But before she Drove away, she came to me n said you came!" She said. "Thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek. I wanna tell her, I want her to know that I don’t wanna be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and i don’t know why…

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. I wanna tell him, I want himto know that I don`t wanna be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don’t know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me... I wish I did too. I thought to myself, and I cried.

Kisah ini Aq amik dari Bulletin Friendster daripada Nor Malindawati. Kisah ini lebih kurang movie Cinta Pertama lakonan Bunga Citra Lestari. "Tidak ada pertemuaan yg abadi" Sunny 00' dan "Seperti pertemuan perpisahan pun gak ada yang abadi..." Alia 00' antara quote yang terdapat Cinta Pertama.

"Manusia memiliki mimpi, ada mengejar dan mewujudkannya, ada yang mundur dan membuangnya, ada yang diam dan menyimpannya sisa hidupanya, dan aku menjadi manusia yang terakhir itu..." ini pula tulisan terakhir di dalam diari Alia.

p/s: masa itu singkat, tetapi kehidupan itu panjang, kita tidak akan terlambat untuk sesuatu yang berharga untuk ditunggu.
