Foreword
PROLOGUE
“Are you sure with this Irene?” he asked before I nodded and finally went in.
This is it. This is the moment. The moment to reveal something and be aware of the cause—either bad or not, I am already prepared with it. I must be. I chose to take the risk and so I shouldn’t feel pity to myself if ever it would turn out badly.
I sighed and thanked his friend before he finally left. I puffed some air out of my cheeks and started taking my steps towards him.
I don’t know, but I think I lost some air inside my lungs once he turned his gaze at me. Something was there—in his eyes. Something I can see but couldn’t estimate. It was vague and deep, and maybe I was drowning.
I felt my heart skipped a beat before it went wild just the moment when he flashed out a smile.
A smile… but not a genuine one.
Not enough to turn my heart as wild as he can the past few moments.
“Hi.” I greeted. His eyes were asking why I am there. Yes, why am I here anyway? I think I lost sight of my goal because of too much apprehension I was feeling.
I do not know how many seconds passed when I heard his manly chuckle. He stood up and softly poked my forehead when I still haven’t spoken.
I pursed my lips a little, facing down because of embarrassment.
I gulped… and gulped yet again.
How can a simple presence of a man make me feel like this? But I am well aware of myself that he wasn’t just a man to me. I know that this is the same feeling I felt when I first met this man. He was something inevitable and unfortunately (I hope not)—I failed to shun away from him.
This is unplanned. I swear to God that this thing was unforeseen.
“Um…” I started. I prevented my voice from cracking but it did. It did and I didn’t doubt why.
I saw him crinkled his forehead, indication that he was confused of what I am planning to say… or neither to confess.
I mentally hit myself as I blew some air out of my lungs. Oh, this is getting harder than it already was.
I felt like I heard him smile and I gazed up because of that. I met his dark orbs. His endearing dark orbs.
I just stared. And I think I lost my sane when he spoke. “You’re lovely today Irene.” He told… and then left after.
And there I knew that I hoped and saw something that we couldn’t be.
