Kesner's POV
The other day was fun. Our coach treated us at a barbecue house. That was one of the most memorable moments of us.
Today is Monday, and I'm planning to talk to Marcella. I will go to Kawaii café at 7 in the evening because that is their closing time. I will wait for Marcella outside the café. I will say what I can't say to her when I was in college. I dare to say it to her now.
I am now in my apartment room and sulking because it's our day off. Our coach told us to take a rest. We all need it because it's our reward for winning the game.
I will wait for the time to strike at six and get ready to go to Kawaii café.
Marcella's POV
It's already 7 in the evening, and the café is closing.
"I will leave the first guys. See you tomorrow,"
"See you tomorrow, Marcella. Take care"
When I was outside the café, I saw a hooded man. He faces me, and he put down his hood. I was shocked because it is Kesner. Is he here for me?
"Kesner?"
"Marcella, can I talk to you?"
"About what?"
"Can we talk at the park instead?"
"Ok. Let's go,"
We are now on our way to the park, which is a walking distance from the café. I was curious about what he wanted to talk to me.
When we arrive at the park, we sat on a bench.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to be straight forward, Marcella, because this is what I want to say to you when we are still in college. I like it. No, I love you, Marcella,"
I was shocked because he loves me? Does that mean he knows me when we are in college?
"You love me?"
"Yes, Marcella. I know that you don't know me, but when I saw you at the school garden watering the flowers wearing a beautiful smile on your face, I find you attractive. My friend said that your name is Marcella. That day, I started having feelings towards you. I saw you always at school, and I would always go to the school garden every end of the class, hoping to see you there. I wanted to confess, but I have no courage to do it. Now, I dare to confess to you, Marcella,"
I was happy because my first love is confessing to me. All this time, he also loves me.
"You know Kesner that we share the same feelings. You may not know, but I know you. I first saw you playing basketball at the school gym. My eyes were fixed on you because it's not that you are handsome, tall, and attractive, but you are good at playing basketball. I always imagined myself being a girlfriend of a varsity player. I love watching basketball. I overheard some girls talking about you, and that's why I know your name. From that day on, I would always see you at school and taking glances at you. I wanted to confess, but I am shy and afraid because you are famous, and I'm an ordinary, introvert girl. Now, I can say that you are my first love, Kesner. I'm happy to see you again,"
"I am speechless. I can't believe this. You are also my first love, Marcella. All this time, we share the same feelings, but afraid to confess to each other. These past few days, I've been dreaming, but the face is the girl is blurry. All I remember are some details, but the past three days, I remember calling your name. The last dream was the face of the woman is not blurt anymore, and I was you, Marcella. These past few days, I was dreaming about you. I thought, maybe it's a sign why I'm dreaming about you,"
I was stunned because he remembers his dreams, but not all. I wanted to tell him the truth, but it shall be kept, secret. It is between the spirit orb and me who will know about it.
"I think it's a sign, Kesner,"
"Yeah. A sign to see you again, Marcella. It's been a year. Ah, Marcella?"
"What is it?"
"Can I court you?"
"Yes!"
When Kesner said that he wanted to court me, I didn't hesitate and reply immediately.
"Yes! I'm the luckiest man in the world. Thank you, Marcella,"
"Thank you, Kesner,"
We both hugged each other. When I was hugging Kesner, the spirit orb appeared. I smiled and said, thank you silently. After saying my gratitude, the spirit orb disappeared.
This day is the luckiest day of my life.
