1 Here I Am.

Jhee Hyun

I was long time convince that I'm head over heels in love with my boyfriend of six years... Accepted that he's the one I would spend my whole life with...

I can predict what will happen for the next three minutes ... I will pick up the phone just to hear him say he misses me and he can't wait to see me tonight... I can picture out already another great evening of sweet nothings and giggling whispers floating mid air, which in fact is always abundant whenever we're near.

It will be perfect, flowers and candlelight dinner. Slow music... a magic moment most girl dream of...

Maybe I should convince myself that I should not wake up from this dream and accept that it's my destiny... to be beside this beautiful creature forever. To build my dreams around him. I couldn't ask for more. From now on, I will close my heart and throw away its key .

*********************************************************************************

Our first encounter was a blur... I never expected it... Maybe that is why they say LOVE is like a THIEF, you'll never know it where and when it will hit you... You cannot choose who you love for it is destined. Everyone has its own LOVER , no matter how hard you forget about it, it will come after you and reclaim its true owner. You can never beg to forget you and live on its own...

Same as mine, he's starting to make his moves. I don't understand why suddenly I'm following this butterfly. I can't feel my feet whether I'm walking or being dragged. I can't look elsewhere even though I can see and smell the scent of the flowers bloomed around me. I'm focused on the two tiny wings that keeps on flapping in front of me... I think it's going to land on someone's arm...

Suddenly , I hear Heung Xi's voice and the next thing I know, I tripped and face planted on the ground. Two hands held me up while asking if I'm alright. Can't remember that voice. That's the first time I heard it, but it sounds familiar. As if I know him from a long time ago... I said I'm okay without looking at him. Suddenly he handed over something. I was confused, so I tried to look at him, but the glare of the sun hits my sight, so I closed my eyes. He took my hand and put something on it.

Again, I hear Heung Xi calling my name. Figuring out where is it coming from, but suddenly the fog gets thicker and thicker and I can't see anything. Still, I can hear Heung Xi voice and it's getting near and louder. As I opened my eyes I was lying in my bed beside my cellphone that is ringing frantically. It's a good idea to put his voice in my alarm to wake me up in the morning.

Huh...?! That's what it is... I'm just dreaming... a weird dream... but as I lift my hand, I felt something weird hanging in my finger. As I look closely, to my surprise, a necklace with a key and butterfly pendant...!!!

Engraved "YOUR MINE".

As I try to examine, one of its stones captured the ray of the morning sun so it glimmers causing my eye to close. I remember it was the necklace that I found the night while walking home!

Because of it's sparkles, it caught my eyes even in the dim as if it was meant for me... little by little, my dream comes back to me as if I could smell the flower beside me. I tried recalling a butterfly and something flashing in my eye and pooffff gone...!

Once again, my alarm clock took off and this time I should get my ass off in bed if I don't want to sign an early resignation paper in my new job.
