Chapter 8: Realise

We ran so fast up the mountain as the sun fell low

We climbed so high to chase the light sent from the sunset glow

With each gesture of his hand on the guitar he was carrying, I could tell he was still playing well.

'Cause time won't wait for us

It fades away so fast

And soon these days will pass

So make these moments last

Because of his talent for playing the guitar and also because of his handsomeness and posture while he was a meter away from me, those of us who were on the soccer field were gradually confused. Some were looking at us and others approached.

We stood and looked out as the colours in the sky ran wild

In that moment, I felt like I was seeing through the eyes of a child

'Cause time won't wait for us

It fades away so fast

And soon these days will pass

So make these moments last

He continued singing. A few women are thrilled because of that. I don't know if it was because he was flirting with me or because Andrei became more attractive because of his playing.

Seek to reach the heights of the alpine

Seize the golden light when the sun shines

Realise that time is a precious gift

So make these moments last

I've found that time flies like a camera flashing in my eyes

So, blind, I turned and the moment simply passed me by

As I watched him, I could see the sincerity and sincerity of the message in the song. There seems to be a hidden message that only we can come up with an answer through speech. It seems to use only the mouth to know the burden of the content of that song.

'Cause time won't wait for us

It fades away so fast

And soon these days will pass

So make these moments last

Seek to reach the heights of the alpine

Seize the golden light when the sun shines

Realise that time is a precious gift

So make these moments last

Seek to reach the heights of the alpine

Seize the golden light when the sun shines

Realise that time is a precious gift

So make these moments last

When he finished singing and he lowered his guitar, those watching Andrei's elegance seemed to shake me. My smile reached my eyes, figuratively.

As he walked slowly, I felt like my heart was flying because of the thrill I was feeling. Even though this was not his first flirtation with me, I just now felt like this, happy, mixed with love that I just found out that it seemed like a revelation to me.

When it got close to me I bowed. I'm embarrassed, Nikkola where is your courage? I feel like I'm crazy because I'm preaching to myself. He put his index finger on my chin and lifted. He bowed a little to level our faces. I feel the warmth of my whole face. I make sure he sees that because he laughs.

"You're so cute" because what he said was like I was fired again. Then I squatted down and hugged him. I felt her shock and touched my waist. It seems that in the three weeks that we have not talked and met I can breathe easily. Because of the squealing of the others in the soccerfield, my cheeks got hot again because we were not the only ones here. Haist Nikkola...

"Sorry" he whispered in my right ear. I feel his suffering because only now have we been able to get close like this. After three weeks of avoiding it, when I see him approaching me, I leave or run, until we can no longer reach.

"It's not your fault, I'm sorry for my madness" I crouched in the middle of the confrontation and I confessed to him. That's right- this is not his fault. That's just for me. Because he doesn't know anything. I feel for him. I could not give up our friendship just because of my feeling that there was no certainty that there was a destination.

I let go of my arms by hugging him tightly. The students who also witnessed what happened earlier are gradually leaving and continuing what they were doing before, others have gone home. Until there is no one and we are the only ones in the middle. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away from there. I don't know, I'm the only one who's happy and thrilled that everyone is pulling but still smiling as if I'm crazy. Until we got to the parking lot where his car was. Now I just also noticed that before this.

He opened the door for me. I feel like he treats me like a princess who can't be hurt or even bother. In fact, it was just opening the car door. Funny.

"Why are you laughing" Andrei asked, not closing the door.

"Nothing" for me idiot holding back a smile. But, I know he notices that.

He closed the car door and turned around to get in. When everything was settled, he confronted me.

"Sorry"

"Sorry"

At once we said and laughed because of that.

"Sorry, Nikko whatever I did please forgive me." He rubbed both my cheeks and he was happy because I was already irritated with him. It's always like that, even if I tend to be annoyed then I will sulk and he will kiss me. We look crazy.

"But I'm serious Nikko, sorry don't sulk" He pleaded with a face with every word he uttered. Instead of answering immediately, I laughed in his face. This one looks like a puppy.

"It's alright" I said once non I kissed him on the cheek. I was also shocked with him. His face blushed. To cover up the embarrassment I did I laughed at him out loud.

"Yieeeee, you're blushing Drei, what are you? Are you thrilled by that?" I accompanied the instruction on his face with laughter to be effective. I can see that it works ... because he is quiet.

"Let's see where else this conversation will go." he laughed at the same time. In agreement, I nodded as if I was a child who was always excited about going. I'm glad we got along. I can't afford not to talk to you. I'm going crazy, I'm pretty sure there.

As he maneuvered the steering wheel of his car, Andrei spoke so I turned to him.

"Can you go on Weekends?" he asked

"Yes, we have nothing to do. Why?" I responded quickly.

"Do you want to go to the movies?" my forehead knotted. Does every words of what he said sound like a date? I shuddered suddenly and also disappeared quickly as if it was not obvious that I am happy.

"All right, I want to roam too" I agreed

He seemed to breathe easily because of my answer. Like he is relived. Like he is thingking that he was too scared if I refuse. Until we were opposite our gate. Before I left, he pulled me and hugged me again. I was stunned because of that. Why is Andrei acting like this? Nakakakaba naman.

"I'm happy because we are now okay Nikkola" I hugged him too and I did not expect to kiss him on the cheek. He was also stunned too. I smiled at him again and got out of the car and closed the door. I ran up to the door and before opening it I waved at him because maybe to his shock he could not move and responded immediately.

I did not wait for him to wave back at me, but I closed the door and I almost fell at my speed and ran to my room. I leaned against my door and palms imprisoned my face which I thought was too red. My phone beeped for a new message ... Andrei. I opened it immediately.

Andrei:

Just pick me up here at your house :))

Me:

Okay :))

Then I hugged my phone. It felt weird to me and new. I smiled because maybe ... I hope ... he' starting to like me too ...

To be continue ...
