Hey guys! It's been quite a long time, wait not quite but a very very long time. I apologise for not been able to post stuffs or stories as well. Hahahaha. So here we go. :)
That long lost scent suddenly came back. Every time I closed my eyes I can feel that he is just nearby, I can sense it. But every time when I open my eyes, I don't see any sight of him. Hoping that I can just sleep for eternity waiting for you to come back so that we can start our lives together as one.
Remember when I first met you at the playground. You sat there all alone playing with the sands and some neighbourhood kids would come to pick a fight with you but you never fight back. No matter how serious it was, you never touched a finger on them. I was such a coward back then, for not being able to help you afraid that I might get beat up as well. After those kids left, I slowly approached you and asked, 'Why didn't you fight back?'. You replied, 'Fighting means nothing, if you fight there will be pain and scars so it's better off not to fight. Sometimes being hurt can make you stronger. That's what my mum used to tell me.' And then I didn't manage to ask you more and you walked away, staring at your shadow slowly fading away it was such a pity not to know you back then. I waited at the playground everyday hoping that I can see you again and know you more. But you never came.
During secondary school, I saw someone familiar, that person was you. You looked the same as usual, always looking down. But, from those eyes I can see that you are in pain. A pain that was never told. By that time, I told myself that I must not miss this chance. So, I approached, I greeted but you ignored me. I felt so silly that time, there were other students staring at me thinking that I'm sort of a weirdo waving to the air. I was kinda embarrassed, I quickly grab your hand without thinking and pulled you to a side. You couldn't recognised me. Oh well, it's been a long time so it's also possible that you forgotten me. So, I reintroduce myself and you introduced yourself too.
We walked home back together after school as we lived in the same neighbourhood. You were a shy person, you don't speak much. So, I was the one with all the questions but every time when I mentioned about your family, you seem uncomfortable. I'll just change the topic quickly scaring that it might be awkward on the way back. You were always walking on the front, there were this nice scent from you every time. Eventually, I like following you behind catching up with that scent of yours. You would always see me enter my house before leaving on your own. My friends even asked if we were a couple but I would just smile off. Our relationship is quite complicated, I don't even know what kind of relationship is this.
Day by day, we got closer to each other. And, I get to see you smile sometimes. We hanged out after school, having some good craves at the nearby hawker stalls who sells the best laksa noodles. We chit chatted, shared mostly everything except for family related stuffs. I've always wanted to know how was your family like. Are your mum and dad good? But, every time when I was ready to ask my mind tells me not to.
One day, I've thought of a random plan my calling you over to my house for dinner. You didn't agreed at first but after all those begging I finally managed to call you over. I introduced my family members to you that night. We had a great night, it was splendid. I've never seen you laugh so much. I'm happy that you are happy. While walking you out from my house, you mentioned, 'It surely feels like home here.' You turned around and hugged me, that scent from you was flowing through my nose again. How I wished that moment would stay forever. So, it was time that I asked about your family, you read my mind. You said, 'It's better not for you to know.' You kissed my forehead, smiled and walked away. Tears starting to roll down my cheeks. Something is not right.
You didn't came to school for few weeks. I have been waiting for you at our usual meeting spot. You never even showed up. I couldn't contact you. I went to your house and it seemed like you moved out. So many questions in my mind. Why? Did something happened? I stood there waiting in front of your house, suddenly your scent came along. I looked around but I couldn't see you. Where have you been?
Ok, I'm done for my story. Hahahaha, I hope it's alright couldn't think of any others. Well, the ending is kinda potong stim. Its for u to brainstorm what actually happened. Hahahaha. Oyasuminasai! Goodnight!
