ACT 02: Strike!

“Teacher’s coming!” shouted Ash, the class monitor or even more famous with his nickname; Ash the CM. His shouts caught our nerves to go and sit at our own desk and pretended that we were studying as Miss Natasha is well-known by her undetectable-anger-reaction if she saw us not studying. “Morning, class.” She laid out her beautiful smile on her face once she entered our class. We were all glad and the most was me as I was sleeping soundly before that. Ha! Ha!

                She then wrote L-O-V-E on the whiteboard in front and she turned towards us. She then said,

“Love is the greatest gift in this whole world. It’s a common thing that’ll happen naturally all around us. So, as for today, I’d love to give you a task. Write an essay about love, more than 300 words like usual and hand it to me in my next class on Thursday. Got it?”

“Yess, Miss Natasha…”  We replied her. Great! More homework for us. For me! God, I already had piles of homework since yesterday and more this morning...ARGHH!!

                I went home with lazy steps. I lay down on my bed, thinking of what Miss Natasha said in the class this morning. Just a few blinks then past time memories struck my mind. It happened about a year back when I was in 4^th Grade. With the purpose to compete in study, we tied a serious relationship with Jenny. We never meet before but our relationship grew as time passed since nowadays technology made the world at our fingertip. So, I set my mind to study harder so that I will be able to meet her one day in the university. We exchanged examinations papers as we both were studying in different school and state.

                My feelings grew stronger towards her day after day. However, I didn’t know about her feelings towards me. How sad… In the third semester break, I lost my mobile phone. So we had lost contact for quite sometime. I felt very sad that time. Luckily, I managed to get a new mobile phone and number. Unfortunately, an incident happened 2 days after I called her for the first time with my new number.

                “I know that it’s hard for you to accept this and so do I. However, I’ve been thinking after this while and I guessed, this is the best for us; for our studies and future undertake. Please forget me”. Call ended. Once again, I felt like falling down from a very tall building like what I felt when she accepted to be my love. But, the difference for this time is, I hit the ground. For me, she was everything. She’s my life. After all, how do I live without her?

That incident took me seriously as I couldn’t perform well in my examinations after that. It took me for quite a long time to stand my ground again. I asked advices from the elders… I deeply thought about what they said but she was my first love!

“Puppy love. That’s what the reality was,” my heart said to me one day. Everyday, I would sit near the lake and think about what happened to me. Until one day, I concluded everything and I was happy again after that.

                I am still too young to understand the true meaning of love yet not too old to feel that feeling. Jenny was not my first love after all. She was just a girl that knocked my heart. And she is not related to my blood ship (what am I saying?). My future is still bright and so I don’t want to darken it because of this puppy love matter. So, what should I do?

                I told Jenny that I accepted that we’re broke up. I thanked her for everything and for being my very close friend after all. At least, she’s still my girlfriend. Urmm… I meant that she’s my friend and obviously she is a girl, right? Ha! Ha! Ha! What a memory… since that day, I had been more focused on my study and never fall in love again. So, I continued writing my essay for Miss Natasha. But deep in my heart, it’s written…

                “Strike One”

ACT 01: Untitled

Beep! Beep!

"Phone's ringing! Hey you! Pick up the phone!" my phone screamed out to its maximum volume assigning that a SMS arrived into my inbox. I read it immediately with my heart beat fast because I was shocked by my own ringtone (actually I was watching the film Jack the Reaper at that time).

"Gosh! Who did send this message to me?" I said with a low voice after seeing a phone number instead of the sender's name which meant that I didn't know this person at all!

 

"Hi! Remember me?"

Damn, I hate this kind of message as I am poor in remembering things or people or even anything (Ha! Ha! Silly, me). So, I replied, "I don't think I know you. May I know who are you please?"

Then I waited nervously as I continued to watch that scary movie. Suddenly, I was shocked again. A replied message from that person. I kept it aside for a while as I was focusing on the movie that I watched.

 

    "Hey, relax. I'm Jenny Watson from Jackson's High".

Oh! I knew her before. We met at the time when I was doing some graphics for my website. I visited her website and that's how I got her Instant Message ID. After the first time we chat, we often meet via IM through the net. However, I never meet her. In fact, I didn't even know her much. What a flashback! Back to the SMS. After I replied her, we kept in touch. We nurtured our relationship through time. By the way, thanks to technology invention nowadays.

 

After about a month SMS-ing, I thought that it's the best time to take another step in our relationship. I called her and we talked for the first time that evening. From the call I made, I knew that she is a soft-spoken person. Her voice was so cute and cuddles. I often imagined that her face was pretty as Megan Foxx so my curiosity grew every time she refuses to show me her picture. So, I remained calm and relaxed. I kept waiting and we were connected via SMS-es and phone calls.

 

    One day, I received a parcel from her. A cute red box with teddy bears cartoon on it. Inside, she gave me her biography, a fridge magnet (with cute kitten picture on it) and a very cute, blue colored photo frame. I searched more inside the box and I found it! Yes! There was it! The one that I been waited for so long. Picture of her… I immediately called her after that.

"Jen, thanks for the parcel. But, where's your photo? I don't see it anywhere inside the box?"

"What?! No picture of mine? How could it be?" She asked me to re-check the parcel she gave with her nervous voice. I laughed and said to her that the box contained (the things I mentioned before) and "What is this? Jen, did you give me a picture of a model from the magazine? She's great!" then we both burst out laughs.

 

    She was very beautiful! Gorgeous. Not much differences than what I imagined her to be like (Megan Foxx). He…He… If I meet her again in the future, I will choose her to be my life partner. However, we both still studying. I still remember on 8^th December, I said something that changed everything in our relationship. Everyday in a week before that, I always said to her to never say goodbye even whether before sleep or when the time we were a bit busy. I said to her like this,

"Hey Jen, remember this. Never say goodbye...or it'll spoil."

 

    I knew that she won't understand it at all until the date she called me and said,

"Hey there. I just want you to know that from now on until forever, I will never say goodbye to you. Because now I understand what do you meant by that. I promise you that I will never spoil this relationship. Thanks a lot. I love you!" call ended. Whoa! I felt like falling down from the 30^th floor of a building! Was that a dream?! I couldn't believe it at once.

 

    Jenny Watson. As sweet as her name. She's beautiful, gorgeous, soft-spoken, caring and more other good qualities that I bet every man wanted their dream girl to be. Just for Jenny, I promised you that I won't betray the trust you gave. You made my dream come true. Thank you so much.

 

    However, this was not the end of my story. In fact, this is the beginning of the new story of my life. It was two years before. Now, I wished that I had never said those words.
