Tell Me

“Tell me something, that you never ever told anyone.”

She looked at him, surprised. She smiled and let a sigh. “Something like a secret?”

“Yes, something like that.” He smiled at her, knowing that she’s quite challenged with his request.

“Something like that? That’s exactly a secret…”

“No, it’s different. Let me rephrase it, tell me something that you never tell anyone exactly but it’s obvious.”

“So, you want me to admit something.”

“Yeah.” And he smiled. A smile that could take anyone’s heart away.

“Okay, I’ll tell you something. But, you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone else. It’s going to be our secret.” As she say it, she couldn’t help but laugh. And, honestly, she didn’t know why. In that moment, all she knew was she should feel nervous, but then, she felt so happy.

“Deal.” He gave her a grin.

“You’re my first love.” And she smiled. After sometime, she started to feel nervous. He just looked at her straight in her deep set eyes, deciphering if she’s telling the truth.

He broke from their interminable gaze. He looked down and said, “I thought I am not the first one.” Then, he looked at her dearly.

She felt her blood rushed into her cheeks, so she looked down.

“Hey, thank you.” His voice was full of amazement and wonder. Anyone could fell his surprise, as well as his happiness. She tilted her head to meet his eyes.

She smiled knowing that he openly accepted her feelings. She thought, if this would still be an unrequited love after this, it didn’t bother me, because I knew, that I finally became true to the most important person in my life.

He drove her home. It was a silent journey no one dared to talk about what happened earlier. However, the silence they shared don’t have any tension or negativity, it embodies contentment.

As he walked her to the door, he suddenly held her hand which surprised her. They stood in the front door while looking intently into each other’s eyes. “I love you, too.”

The sound of his voice could touch anyone’s heart and his sincerity could give infinite warmth of love. 

A tear escaped her eyes and she knew that her life is about to change.
