*BELL RINGS*
I heard the second bell of our school that means when you can't get to the classroom within two minutes you will be marked as absent in the class. I was running fast when suddenly I bumped to a boy. I'm pretty sure that he is an Engineering student because his uniform says it all.
At first sight he looks cute. Yes! he is, but I don't mind at all because that time I realized that my things were on the ground.
"Oh... I'm really sorry, I'm not aware on my way. " I said to him, I was shocked when he help me picking my things because obviously it's my fault to run across at him.
"That's okay." He said, though he smiled at me.
"Thank you. Anyways, I have to go. Bye!"
I know that's so rude of me I didn't even bother to look back or talk to him longer, because I'm getting late. Great! I'm already late in my first subject.
______________
Hours pass until it's already break time, I'm with my friends eating lunch in the cafeteria and we are talking about that this morning I was saved because my professor were not yet coming in the class, thank God for that.
"Oh yeah! My cell phone, I wonder where it is?! " as I remember that I didn't get a chance to check if I have received a message.
I checked my bag to look for it, but I can't find it. My heart beats fast because I'm starting to worry for my phone. I even remove all the things I have in my bag to be sure I checked all the pockets.
But I failed, I lost my phone. That phone is very sentimental to me because all the contacts there are very important to me and for Pete's sake! That is mother's gift to me. I stood up and told to my friends that I'm going somewhere.
I went to the places where I walked earlier but bad news, I can't find it.
That night I was busy working in my homework, and then I realized that this morning I bumped to a boy and my things fell, maybe I didn't noticed that my phone fell too.
"Hah! I will find that guy first thing in the morning, maybe he got my cellphone."
________
MORNING
I get up early for me to find the guy. When I enter the school I go straight to the engineering building.I look for him but then I can't find him, I was about to give up when I heard someone call my name a voice coming from my back I turned around and saw a middle school-girl giving me a piece of paper. I took it, and I was about to ask the girl who sends the paper but then the girl run away. I tried to catch her but damn she's so fast so I stop and open the paper.
------------------------------------
Dear Ariantha,
If you still want to see your cell phone, go to the library today at 3:00 pm. See you there...
"M.C."
------------------------------------
As I read the message I somehow feel comfortable and easy because my cellphone is safe. But then I thought who is MC? I have no idea who he is but he knows me?
In the class, I can't concentrate to my professor's discussion because I was busy looking at my watch to check the time.
But as time goes by, it's already 3:00 pm, at last I will meet the person who took my cellphone. I started walking to the Library.
WALK...
WALK...
WALK...
STOP......
Now I'm here in the front door of the library before I enter I take a deep breath.
*inhale... *exhale...
I hold the door knob; twist it, until it opens. But as I enter inside I was quite disappointed because no one is around in the library and then I heard a familiar tune, I realized that it's the ringtone of my cellphone. I carefully listen to it for me to determine where my cellphone is. And then I saw my phone in one of the shelves here in the library it's between calculus and trigonometry book and it keeps on ringing.
I saw the name registered in my phone "Mr. Chocolate" at first I laughed because of the name, who would thought someone will used this as a code name, anyways I just press answer.
"Oh hey, you've found already your cell phone, by the way call me Mr. Chocolate I'm the one who found your phone." he said...
"Oh... yeah Mr. Cho-chocolate" I really tried not to laugh but Hell! I just burst out laughing...
"He-Hey! Why are you laughing? Is there something funny? "Mr. Chocolate said.
"Oh... I'm so sorry I don't mean to offend you but your name is quite funny... "I honestly said.
"Ah...its just a pen name and before you laugh at me say thank you since I bring back your cellphone." Mr. Chocolate said.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my bad, again.Hahaha... well thank you." I said sweetly.
"Okay..." he said coldly.
"Ahmm... where did you found my phone?" I asked, I'm curious where he found my phone.
"Secret!" he said ... Oh... this boy is weird.
I drop the call and checked my contacts, and now I'm too angry to him because my contacts were all gone. Yes! ALL CONTACTS, the contacts that are very precious to me were gone? But except the contact named "Mr. Chocolate" grrr...!!
I tried to call him again trying to ask why my contacts were gone except him. And good thing he answers quickly.
"Hey you! Mr. Chocolate! Or whoever you are! Why did you delete all of my contacts?! Give me a damn good reason!? "I'm already shouting at this time.
"Ahmm... Because I want my number is the only one save in your phone, and besides if they are really important, they are the one who will call you. "He said calmly...
"Ah... eh..." I don't know what to say because he has a point, if I'm special to others that means they are the one will call me.
"Oh what? It's true right? Hahahaha.... don't worry let us just forget that topic... so where are you now? Still in the library? "He asked.
"Nah.... well I'm just walking around going to nowhere. I don't know where my feet are going I'm just following it. "I said.
------------------
After that day, I guess months had already passed, but we are always talking through phone. Yes, me talking to Mr. Chocolate, we talked about stuffs, sharing stories and others. I never expect this will happen but even though we didn't meet personally I feel comfortable to him, I am happy talking to him, talking with him in the phone everyday make me fall for him inch by inch. I might sound crazy because I was so shallow, but I can't help it.I don't know, I think I'm already in love with him
--------------------
=At night=
*Riiiiinnnggg.... Riiiinnnggg....
"Oh?" I said.
"Open your window Ariantha, then you'll see the fireworks" he said lively.
"Oh yeah... Now I'm looking on it so what now?" I asked him
"Take a picture of it, and I will have mine too." he said, so I just follow him.
"Okay. Ahmm... wait I will hang up first. "I said, because I will take a picture of the fireworks.
"Kay!" he said, and hangs up.
As what he request I followed his instruction I captured the fireworks outside, it was beautiful and then again he call me. I answer it quickly.
"Did you eat dinner already?" I ask him
"Ahmm. Yeah! How about you?" he asked me back.
"Actually not yet. Hahaha because I was talking to you, Mr. Chocolate." I said while smiling. Ah... He really makes me crazy because I'm falling in love with a person I don't see yet.
"Hahahaha... really? Well, eat now Ariantha, just call me later when you're done. " he said
"Nah... later, I still want to talk to you." I said sweetly to him, but instead he just chuckle. To tell you the truth, in just a spam of days or months just talking to him in the phone makes me feel like I know this guy for a long time, even though I don't see him, yet I just have this feeling that I saw him already, I don't know? I love him, and I think I know him. Sounds crazy right? Yeah I'm crazy over him.
"Hey what's so funny?"I asked him, because he just laughed at me?
"Oh no-nothing..." he said.
"Whatever! You laughed at me and I hate it!" I said like a spoiled brat.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry?" he apologized to me.
"Goodness! I just can't be mad at you. Fine, sorry is accepted." I said.
"Thank you" he is very sweet to me, and I like it, maybe he likes me too.
*Silence
"Hey Mr. Chocolate ahmmmmm I'm asking if we ahmmm you kn-----" I break the silence but he cut me off.
"Yes let's see each other... I want to see you badly because every time we are in the school I always look at you a far, and I guess this is the right time for you to know me." at that moment I can't stop smiling because FINALLY! I will see him.
"Omygosh! Really? I'm totally excited for that... so when we will meet? "I asked him like a desperate one.
"In the garden of our school tomorrow at 3 o'clock pm. Okay?" he said to me.
"Yeah ...so see you then?"
"Right. Good Night, Ariantha."
"Sweet dreams, bye."
*toot *toooot.
This is not a dream right? Finally! I will see Mr. Chocolate; I'm excited and happy as well.
=MORNING=
I wake up early today; do some my rituals in the morning and this is it! I'm going to see him, TODAY! In just 8 hours.
.
.
.
.
.
.
As time goes by... it's already Lunch time, hours to go...
"Hey Ariantha, I noticed that you keep on smiling today is there something special?" my friend asked me while we are in the middle of our lunch.
"I think so," I told them.
"Tell us! Share!"They told me.
"Not now girls, wait until afternoon and I will tell you guys." I said to them while smiling.
"Okay fine, that is a deal later afternoon!"
"Yeah deal" I just laugh because they are too naughty friends.
Gosh! Is it too obvious that I'm too excited? They see me smiling this day... I... I just can't stop....
--------------------------
In our class, I can't concentrate again to my Prof's discussion, I wonder what will happen in one hour after I see Mr. Chocolate.
After 100 years, I mean after that very long time this is really is it! I'm going to see him! NOW! I wonder what his face? I wish this guy I'm thinking for over a months is HIM.
So I start walking in the garden,I can see a man standing but all I can see is his back so I walked closely to him to see his face. I tapped his shoulder so that he is aware that I'm already here and when he turned around.
I see him now.....
And it.......
Makes me.....
SAD.....
WHY?
Because the person that I'm expecting is not him.....
I'm very disappointed!
But he is Mr. Chocolate so that mean he is the person that I Loved?
"Hey?" his says. It took me so long to realize that I was looking at him all the time. I was just recovered when he speaks and I'm very embarrassed for that.
"Oh I'm sorry I was just ahhmmm. ---" he cut me off.
"Are you expecting someone? Because the time you look at me makes me sick cause you're not smiling I thought you are very excited to see me? But I guess I expect too much."
OmyGosh did I offend him? I'm sorry for that. After he says that he walks away so I was alone here and I don't know?! Even though I expected someone else but I guess he is the one, so I must accept him right?
So I run and followed him and good thing I saw him fast, from the back I hugged him and that makes him stop from walking so he turn around and kiss me at the lips, at first I didn't response because I was shocked but I kissed him back. I give all my love in the kiss, it was gentle and very passionate and when we separate our lips he hugged me again. So I keep in my mind that he is the one.
------------------
"Arian please?"
"No!"
"Please? This is our special day"
"We are in public Aaron so stop!"
"Bu-but please?"
"Aarghh! Fine but promise me one only alright?"
"Yep promise."
*chup! *chup! *chup!
"He-hey! I told you one only but that is three kiss! Cheating!"
"I'm sorry, but I just love watching you blushed hahaha..."
"Arrgghh Ihate you!"
"I'm sorry okay? ahmmm excuse me I will just go to the rest room."
"Whatever!" after that he just left. Yes we are in a date, today is a special day because we are celebrating our First Monthsary, and he keeps asking for a kiss a while ago.
Let me tell you after that day when we see each other in the garden, I answered him fast.He is so sweet and kind to me even though he always teased me like what just happen earlier but I know after that argument he will be sweet again, I'm really in love to him and so he is.
And I'm just waiting for him, as I roll my eyes I saw his cell phone in our table and I took it and examine for I while until I came to the point that I'm looking to his photos and then I wonder where is the picture of the fireworks the last time that he asked me took a picture of it, so I looked for more photos, but I can't find it.
I will just wait for him and ask.
"Aaron did you delete the picture of the fireworks that we the same captured it?"I ask him as I sip my Ice tea.
"What fireworks are you talking about?" He said, while he continues his food.
"The one you asked me to took a picture of it and you will also have yours." I ask desperately to him.
"Nah...I don't remember I told you that." He said, Argghh! I'm annoyed, how come he will forget that?
"Bu-but? Are you serious? Why you forget that? Here look at this for you to remember it." I took my cell phone and let him see the fireworks that I captured last time.
"Sorry Arian but I don't know what are you talking about." what the?!
"But how? Wait a minute are you really Mr. Chocolate?" I asked him, but instead he just remained silent. Silence mean yes!
"Answer me please!" I'm still hoping, please don't say no.
*sigh "Honestly, I'm not the real Mr. Chocolate" he said as he bow his head as the sign of resignation. SAY WHAT?!
"Are you damn kidding me for almost a month?! That means you are not the one who got my cell phone?!"my voice is really loud and people are looking at us but who cares?
"Yes I lied to you for a month but I just can't tell it, because I love you." He said, and he tried to get my hands, but move away from him.
"Love me? Is that what you called LOVE? Lying to me?! F*ck this is a joke! Damn it I hate you!" after what I said I walked away ... I left him there alone.
So meaning all these time he is lying? So who is really the true Mr. Chocolate? I hope he is....
-------------------
"After that day, I didn't look for the true Mr. Chocolate." I smiled to them.
*sniff *sniff "Is that all miss? You didn't look for the true Mr. Chocolate?"one of the students asks me.
"Yup, I didn't look for him anymore." I said.
"Miss question? Why didn't you asked Aaron who is the real Mr. Chocolate?"other students asked me again.
"I didn't bother to look for him because I was hurt and miserable and I was really mad to Aaron so I don't have the guts to asked him. Well, that was all in the past I forgived him already." I said still smiling to my class.
"Miss because of your love story we didn't discuss anymore..." they complained.
"I'm sorry for that ... hahaha, but at least we take a break right? "after I said those things my students laughed at me.
"Miss, you know even your love story is a heartbreaking, Love takes time you will soon see your'The One' " one of my student told me that.
"Of course I will." Another smile came from my lips.
*Riiiiiinnnnggg *Riiiiiinnnnggg
"Okay class dismiss, and also quiz tomorrow." I said, as I get my things in the table.
"Awwwwww but miss" they complained.
"hahahaha" is all I can say, before exiting the classroom.
-----------------
I'm now a Professional Teacher in my alma mater. And I am here in the Library, making my lesson plan. I was busy writing when suddenly someone seat beside me.
"Work aholic huh?" A guy asked.
"Sort of" I said not looking at him.
"Ah. So you're busy. Well bye, sorry for disturbing." He said.
"That okay."after saying that I was about to look at him but then he was already gone, I have no idea who I talked to.
As I roll my eyes I saw a cell phone and an album.
I was curious what's inside in the album, so I examine it and I realized it is a Photo album so I open the first page and I was shocked.....
Because.....
The picture there......
Is ME....
Smiling, with my friends...
This is my college time.
Ghaaaad! Is he a stalker?
I flip more and all I can see is me.
And then I saw a letter...
--------------
Hi Ariantha! I wish you can read this letter, you know what? After the scene this morning I have this courage to tell you my real feelings. Because this morning I accidentally bumped at you, and then I see you closely, that time I was like an Ice that melts as I see your face and my heart beats fast like they run a thousand miles and the feeling that has a butterfly in my stomach. This may sounds like a gay or crazy but every day I was satisfied looking at you a far but this time I will confessed that I loved you for a very long time...but I don't really have the courage to tell you so I wrote this letter for you to know my feelings.
And I'm sorry for deleting your contacts and by not giving your cell phone earlier.
Love,
Ian
--------------------
After I read the letter my tears start falling, and then I saw another paper again.
-------------------
Dear Diary,
Oh Shit it makes me a gay by writing this but I think this is the best way to release my guilt.
Today I must saw Ariantha and this day she will finally know me. But then I was scared that she might not like me so I asked a favor to my best friend Aaron to act being Mr. Chocolate. At first he doesn't want to accept it but after they meet and after they kiss, actually I was there he now wants to act I'm very angry and guilty supposedly I'mthe one will be kissed by Ariantha, and that should be me being her boyfriend. Call me selfish or coward because I didn't even try to tell her the truth, but because every time I see her far with Aaron she is happy and I will not try to interrupt it even though it hurts me.
Ian...
--------------
After reading that I can't stop crying...
And then I flip the last page of the Photo album....
And I see the picture.....
Of a FIREWORKS that I captured for a very long time.
So after that time he only thinks of me? He is already happy if he sees me happy too?
I took the cell phone and the Photoalbum, I go out in the library crying and running.
Run.....
Run......
Run.......
My eyes were blurry because of my tears.
And it because it is blur I cannot see the way properly. So I bumped to a guy.
"I'm sorry!" I say, not trying to look at the guy because I'm too busy getting the Photo album.
"As always... you are still the same being not aware in your way"
After hearing that voice again, I was taken aback, so HE IS THE ONE? THE REAL ONE?
I look at him...
He is the boy that I bumped last time when I was in a hurry because I'm late in my first subject.
I mean he is a man now; he looks more muscular now than before and looked very handsome.
So he is Mr. Chocolate?
I mean Ian?
"Ian?" I asked. And before he says something else I hug him already. He is really the one, the one that I really expect of being my Mr. Chocolate, and my conclusion is true Ian is the one that I really loved.
THE END...
