Her small hands were setting their position on the guitar that sitting on her lap. A second later, her slender fingers were plugging the guitar acoustically, filling the room with sweet yet soft melody. Then her soft sweet voice started to sing.

This could have been just another day

But instead we're standing here

No need for words it's all been said

In the way you hold me near

It was her favorite song. But it was perfect to describe her feeling that overflowing right now within her heart. As she sang, memories were coming back to her.

I was alone on this journey

Yes… she was alone on her life. Or at least that was her thought for all of this time.

But it wasn’t because she was an orphan or something like that. Her family was perfect, even though her father was gone a long time ago. And she had many friends that loved and cared about her. But yet, she felt so lonely, as if a part of her was gone and not yet found.

Actually she ever felt that her life was completed. It was when she turned to 20. She fell in love with a good guy and it seemed that her hope was up above the sky. But then, her hope was scattered and her life back to empty.

You came along to comfort me

Everything I want in life is right here

Yes… someone has come lately to her life. And that person was there sitting across of her. She raised her gaze and looked at the guy’s beautiful eyes.

This is not your ordinary

No ordinary love

I was not prepared enough

To fall so deep in love

The guy smiled and made her blushed. She dropped her gaze and looked at her guitar as she kept singing.

Yes… her mind said. She had never thought of finding a guy like him. And she was never prepared enough to fall in love with him. She thought that she would never fall in love again since she had to say good bye to her past love.

She still remembered the day when she met him. It was a cold winter day. And she was lost. She almost cried in despair because she couldn’t find her friend’s house. Her friend drew a map for her, but still she was hard to find the house. But then, when she was about to cry, a voice brought her a hope.

“Are you alright?”

She looked around.

There was a guy. A tall one with glasses and beanie hat. He looked maturely handsome but young-looking. She noticed 2 things from his face, his thick eyebrows and his clear jaw line. And his eyes had captured her attention. She never saw any good looking eyes like his.

I get so weak when you look at me

I get lost inside your eyes

Sometimes the magic is hard to believe

But you're here before my very eyes

His eyes looked worried. He took a slight glance to a piece of paper that she held on her hand before he looked back at her.

“Are you lost?”

She nodded.

He stretched his hand to ask the piece of paper that she was holding. “Let me see that.” He said.

She handed him the paper that she was holding.

He received the paper then looked at the paper, studying the map. Not for long until he looked back at her and said, “I think I can show you the way.”

To hear the words, it brought her hope. She couldn’t help but smiled. She bowed and thanked, “Thank you very much.”

The guy smiled along to see her overly polite attitude. “It’s fine.” He said. “Come on.”

You brought joy to my world

Set me so free

I want you to understand

You're every breath that I breathe

After that moment, she found out that his name is Jang Intae or known as Inati. She came across him again for some times coz he lives nearby with his friends. Sometimes he was alone. Sometimes he was with his friend. She also found out that Inati is a member of a new idol group, called Dalmatian. But Inati was friendly toward her and made her comfort to talk with him. And it didn’t take a long time for them to become closer and started dating.

From the very first time that we kissed

I knew that I just couldn't let you go at all

Their first kiss… was probably something that she would never be forgotten. Inati suddenly asked her to check if there was something wrong with his eyes. She knew that Inati used contact lens more than his glasses sometime. So at that moment, she was afraid that his contact lenses are hurting his eyes. She came closer to take a good look. But then, she saw nothing was wrong.

“I think there’s nothing wrong.” She said as she lowered her hand.

But then, suddenly the guy on the front of him took a moment to steal a kiss on the lips from her. Her eyes went wider in surprise because of the surprise kiss while the guy just smiled naughtily to see her surprise.

“I think its fine by now.” He said as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, she realized that he was fooling around. “Ya! Oppa!” She yelled and hit his shoulder to protest as she felt embarrassed.

He just laughed away as he accepted his punishment.

“Ah, seriously.” She said as she cupped her blushed cheeks with her hands and pouted even though her happiness was written entirely over her face.

Inati chuckled. “What?” He asked. “Do you want me to kiss you again?”

Her hands quickly moved to cover . A slight blush came across her cheeks. “Can you?” She asked shyly. But then, she became embarrassed and covered her face with her hands as she released frustrated yet giggled words. “Why am I asking this?”

To see her attitude, Inati couldn’t help but chuckled as he thought that she was a cute girl and so adorable.

From this day on, remember this:

That you're the only one that I adore

Can we make this last forever

This can't be a dream

'Cause it feels so good to me

Well… if it was a dream, then she didn’t want to be awakened. But then, his smiles, his touch and his kisses had make her realized that it wasn’t a dream. He had become someone that very precious for her. She really wanted to treasure all of her moments with him. She wanted to be with him.

This is not your ordinary

No ordinary love

You were the first to touch my heart

And everything right again with your extraordinary love

Your extraordinary love

I was not prepared enough

To fall so deep in love

This is not your ordinary

No ordinary love

You were the first to touch my heart

And everything right again with your extraordinary love

She ended her song and made an ending to her guitar playing. And she got applause from him who sat in the front of him. He was leaned on the seat back on the front of him.

“Thank you very much.” She said as she slightly bowed.

“Your voice is not bad.” Inati said.

“I don’t think so.” She said as she put down her guitar.

“Do you like that song so much?”

She nodded. “Yes, I like it.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. I just like it.”

“Coz it’s describing your feeling?” He asked out of the blue.

The question seemed to hit right on the spot as she blushed and dropped her gaze.

Inati smiled. “Ae Gi.” He called her.

“Hmm?” She looked back at him.

Inati pulled her chair closer with his foot and leaned forward to the back of the chair in the front of him. “Do you love me?”

“Why do you ask?”

“We’re not young anymore, you know.”

“I know about that, oppa.” She seemed to protest. “You don’t need to remind me that I’m going to reach 30 soon.”

Inati touched her chubby cheek with his finger. “Then will you be on my side from now on?”

She looked genuinely surprised. “Eeh?”

Inati smiled again. “Take it as a proposal for you and think carefully about it, okay.” He said.

“A marriage proposal?” She asked for certainty.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Inati gave her a slight kiss on her lips. “Coz I want you to stay on my side forever.”

She smiled slightly. “Can I answer it right now?” She asked.

“Sure.”

Her smile became wider and she leaned forward toward Inati. “Forever, I do.” She replied then gave him a deep and loving kiss.

- The End -
