Luna's P.O.V
-Graduation day-
Finally! After 2 years, my education level will rise. I'll be entering college.
"Luna, come on! Let's go!" I snapped out of my thoughts when Mama called me. The graduation ceremony had just ended. As usual, Sky and Jude were the ones who received all the awards. I still couldn't believe what happened between the two of them. They reconciled before the school year ended.
After straightening out my wrinkled toga, I saw Sky approaching me. I never get tired of feeling thrilled when he walks towards me slowly. It's as if he's a prince.
"Babe, where do you want to eat?" He asked with a smile.
I cringed at what I heard. 'Babe'? That sounds so cheesy.
"What's with the 'babe,' Sky? It's so corny. Don't you have any other nickname?" I said with a laugh.
"Okay, sugarplumhoneybunch. Let's go to Jollibee."
I almost fell over laughing at what Sky said. He's really cheesy! But on the other hand, it's so romantic. No matter how cheesy Sky is, he's still a great person. Hahaha!
"So, Luna, are you going to hang out with your handsome boyfriend now?" Jude asked.
"Surprised, Jude!" I exclaimed.
I reached into my pocket when I felt my phone vibrating.
A message from Bryan.
"Luna, congratulations. I know you did your best, and I'm sorry that this is the first time we'll graduate without being in a good place and being far apart. I'm here in Japan for good. This is where I'll continue. Forgive me for not ending things properly during our last conversation. Forgive me for everything I've done.
Thank you for the 9 years of friendship. I will always treasure our time together. Because of you, my life became colorful.
Again, congratulations and good luck. Bryan loves you. *virtual hug*."
I couldn't hold back the sadness welling up in my heart. I felt the tears forming, but I forced myself to stop because I didn't want to ruin this day. I'm feeling a mix of sadness and happiness right now.
"Are you okay?" Sky asked.
I looked at him and just nodded shyly because I didn't want him to see me sad.
Thank you too, Bryan.
Sky took me to what he called his 'secret garden' or the silent sanctuary where he asked me to be his girlfriend. We sat on a bench facing the beautiful view of the campus.
I took a deep breath before speaking.
"Sky, thank you."
He turned to me. After a few moments, his lips touched mine.
"Thank you too," he said with tears welling up in his eyes.
"You're the reason why I'm moving forward, why I'm happy now. You saved me from drowning in my sorrow, you added color to my life that was once black and white. Luna, you're the perfect melody I've found. The melody that now beats in my heart. The melody that completed my being. Thank you for finding me."
Tears streamed down my face as I listened to his words. I never imagined I could have such an impact on the person I love. I don't know how I became the perfect melody for him. I don't know what other heavy things he has been through.
"Sky," I said before placing my lips on his again.
Our kiss lasted until we felt raindrops falling.
"Luna, I love you," he said with a smile.
I smiled and looked into his speaking eyes.
"I love you too, Sky."
Behind the bench we were sitting on, I grabbed the newly bought acoustic guitar.
His eyes widened when he saw the guitar in my hands.
While he was busy looking at me, I started playing the song I had learned.
[Wonderful-Over the Moon Song]
If you release the past,
You'll move ahead and bloom at last
The heart grows, and it knows
You can glow...
You're wonderful...
I saw him wiping his tears.
"Luna, you know how to play," he said with a smile.
"I'm so proud of you," he added.
I got it.
The perfect melody that Sky was looking for when I played the guitar.
Many things happened during the entire school year. I lost friends, got hurt, experienced failures, and fell in love. After spending several months with Sky, I noticed something different in his actions and how he communicated with me. He always refused to tell me what really happened and what was going on inside him. No one dared to tell me the whole story. I couldn't bring myself to be angry at Sky. I didn't want to blame him just because he didn't want to share with me.
Sky doesn't want me to know his past.
Sky, why are you doing this to me?
Is it because you don't want me to carry your burdens too? Why did you keep it a secret?
Sky is suffering from depression and general anxiety, according to his therapist.
End.
