Could He Be THE One?
I am single for a long time now. It is not because I’m ugly. It is not because of my attitude. It is not because of the people around me or my parents. But it is because I am waiting for the right time that he will come into my life. True love really waits, I do believe in that saying.
I have a deep crush on a boy who is a swimmer in our place. He attended many swimming contest and earn gold medals. He also dances well. He is cute and charming. He looks like my father and acts like my father too. He has healthy gums. I really like him. He owns all the qualities I like in a guy. He is smart; he recently graduated in a prestigious school earning a bachelor’s degree. He is the one for me, I always tell myself that. But I don’t have the courage to look at him in the eye when we meet. He says Hi to me always and it makes my heart jump for joy but I just look down and say nothing. I really wanted to say Hi! Ernest but my tongue does not follow what I want to happen.
One day, I and my cousins went into a studio to watch a show. It is a funny show. I was enjoying myself with my two cousins. When the show is over, we let people exit first. We waited until no one is in the studio before we would leave. Beside the studio, there is a rehearsal room for dancers. I saw him their, he saw me too. We looked into each others eyes, which was the first time I looked into his eyes. I feel that I am shaking. My cousin holds me. He approached to us smiling. Showing his beautiful and white teeth. He doesn’t have bad breath. His eyes are also smiling too. I smiled to him in return, maybe my gums are showing that time because of happiness. He invited me to have a coffee. I can’t talk so my cousin said yes for me. That was a trembling experience but he was walking with me to the cafeteria. I was smiling all the time while I was with him. It was a nice encounter.
We are now best friends, we hang out together. He courted me but I wanted him to say as my friend for now but I honestly like him. I told him that. Maybe we should wait for the right time. I already know that he will always be there, without gingivitis, for me and he is going to be my husband because my mother likes him too for me. Sometimes, ask myself is this the right time for us?
