I was so surprised when Niko suddenly kissed me on the lips. It was the first time we kissed after all the time we knew each other, all the time we dated and finally got married. My first kiss with Niko.
"It's late, go to sleep," he said softly.
"Yes, you go to bed too," I replied nervously.
"Night, Nadia."
"Night, Niko."
As a result of my first kiss with Niko, I couldn't sleep at all. I actually didn't know what Niko meant by kissing me on the lips, whether he was starting to have feelings for me, and I didn't know what the answer was.
The next day, Niko and I didn't go together because our lectures weren't on the same schedule. I decided to drive my own car to campus. Arriving at the campus, I immediately headed to my class. Because I didn't see the road very well and was too busy looking at my phone, I accidentally bumped into someone, causing me to fall down.
"Ouch!" I whined.
"Are you okey?" he said while extending his hand towards me.
"I'm fine," I said as I returned his hand and quickly cleaned my clothes.
"You're Nadia, right?" he said, which surprised me and made me look at his face.
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" I asked confused.
"We were meant to meet, Nad. Nice to meet you, Nadia!" he exclaimed, hugging me so tightly that I was so surprised by his attitude that suddenly hugged me on a whim.
"Wait, who are you? I don't think I know you. And, don't go around hugging other people like that!" I said rudely, trying to break away from his embrace.
"I'm Max. . . Maxime."
"Max? I don't know you at all and I've never met you before either."
"Remember when I helped you clean up your books that were scattered on the floor?" he said as he released his hug and looked at my face, making me think for a moment and try to remember.
"So, you're the white bracelet that helped me?"
"The white bracelet?" he repeated confusedly, looking thoughtful.
"Yes, the white bracelet that helped me. But wait, why do you know my name?"
"I'm your guardian angel, Nad. I will always protect you and be there for you. I miss you so much, Nad!" she exclaimed, hugging me tightly again.
"Wait . . . wait . . I don't know you at all. Just so you know, I'm married and I have a husband. So, you can't just hug me!"
"What, you're married? Seriously?" she shouted, looking surprised as she broke the hug.
"Yes, I'm married and my husband is in the same college as me. He's a medical student so don't even try to bother me!" I said as I gave her a sharp look.
"I don't care if you're married or not. The important thing is that I can meet you is more than enough. You know how much I struggled to find you and meet you here. I'm so happy and I'll always remember you."
"You're mentally ill!" I said and left.
But the man blocked my way and scared me a little with his attitude.
"Please, leave me alone. You're scaring me with your attitude!"
"You don't have to be afraid of me, Nad. I won't hurt you at all."
"How can I trust you not to hurt me? You scare me!"
My eyes began to stare at him with fear. The man who claimed to be named Maxime didn't seem to be lying. His gaze was so sharp. It was a look of sadness and loneliness.
"I can't tell you the truth yet. But believe me, my intentions are good and I will never hurt you."
"What ever!" I said sarcastically and left.
"Nad . . . Nadia!" she shouted back, "did you really forget me, Nad?"
I hurried to my class. That guy really scared me. How could he know my name without me knowing him at all and as if he knew so many things about me. This was really very strange. Who the hell was that guy named Maxime anyway?
I spent 2 hours of my time doing some assignments given by my lecturer. During the 2 hours of working on the assignments, I didn't realize the time went so fast. Because this time I was not in the same class as Bella, I left the class and waited for Bella in front of her class.
However, suddenly there was someone sitting next to me and staring at me with his piercing eyes. When I saw him, it turned out that the person was a man named Maxime who claimed that he was my guardian angel.
"You again? What do you want, anyway?"
"Your name is Nadia Sharena Rizkya, you are 21 years old, you were born on May 22 in 1999, your blood type is O, your favorite color is green, your hobbies are drawing and playing the piano. You like cats and rain. But you really hate the dark, lightning and swimming pools."
My eyes bulged as soon as I heard that this stranger named Maxime knew everything about me. How could he know all those things?
"Wait, how do you know all about me?" I asked probingly.
"You won a drawing competition when you were in kindergarten, you also won a piano contest when you were in elementary school. You buried your favorite cat when you were 7 years old because you were hit by a car. And, you had tonsil surgery when you were 9 years old," he said which made me even more surprised to hear it.
"Who are you anyway? How can you know personal things about me?" I asked impatiently.
"You don't need to know who I am, the important thing is that you know that I really love you."
"You're crazy, you're really out of your mind!" I said as I left but he immediately pulled my hand and made me fall into his arms.
"You know how much I miss you, Nad! Can't you understand my heart? It took me a long time to be able to talk to you like this," he said with teary eyes.
I could see the seriousness and honesty in her teary eyes. I actually didn't know who she was, but when I saw her eyes, I could clearly see that she sincerely loved me.
Her eyes looked very sad and lonely, like she was carrying a lot of burden all this time. And, for some reason I felt like crying seeing that look in her eyes.
"Please, don't ask me where I know about you. You just have to be quiet and please don't leave me again. I need you!"
"But, we just met earlier."
"One day you'll know and understand why I'm acting like that. Think of me as your old friend."
I let out a long sigh. Finally, Bella came out of her class. And, right on cue, Bella looked surprised to see me with a strange man who was now standing next to me.
"Who is he?" Bella whispered.
"Max, this is my best friend and Bella introduces Maxime."
"Hi Max, nice to meet you."
"Hi, Bella."
"You're the new kid, right? Like, I've never seen you before?"
