After class, he walked me home. His hand on my shoulder while carrying my bag for me. We were talking about random things when we finally arrived at my house. He stayed outside because he’s shy enough to face my parents. It’s his first time to walk me home & to meet my parents. I took my bag from him & acted mad. He pulled me over & hugged me, my face buried on his chest.
Johan: Please don’t be mad. Okay, I’ll face them, just give me few minutes to buy something for them.
I smiled underneath. He let go of me then smiled with pleading eyes.
Me: Okay! (smiled back)
He walked away then I went inside the house.
Dad: Is he your boyfriend? Why didn’t you invite him here? Scared?
Me: Dad! He’ll buy something for you & mom.
Mom: Wow, is that so?
I nodded when my younger brother butt in. He whispered to me.
Brother: Hey, I saw your boyfriend across the street with your other classmates.
Me: I know. He’ll buy something for us.
I went upstairs and changed clothes. Then I went downstairs & waited for him outside the house. I was there reading a magazine when my other younger brother talked behind me.
Brother: Don’t worry, I think he’ll come back. (smiled)
Me: Silly, I’m not worried.
Brother: Really? Okay. (then walked out)
Minutes pass, he hasn’t returned yet. I’m already worried. I always took a glance on my phone, thinking he might called or texted but there’s none. I closed the magazine & decided to go upstairs when I heard a familiar voice from afar calling my name. I looked back and saw him bringing a box of cake on his one hand & 3 heart balloons on his other hand, walking towards me with his heart-melting smile. I can’t help but to smile too.
Johan: I’m sorry it took me a lot of time to prepare. (wide grin)
Me: It’s okay, but I really thought you backed-out.
I realized then that I can’t stay mad at him. I like to yell & tell him how I felt, but I just can’t. I invited him inside the house. Introduced him to my family, and then sat at the dining area while eating the cake he bought. While my parents & brothers hanged out in the living room.
We talked about anything that’s happening around us. Just like that, he made my day one of my happiest.
