"My typical love story." -part 1

Just like any other love story, mine started with the friendship I had with her. We actually knew each other way back when we were still in kindergarten. It all started last summer when we were united by this 3-day-seminar thing we had. After an unexpected reunion sponsored by my mom we started to catch up with one anothers' life. She told me her stories and i shared mine. As the small talks continued we became closer, we even had nicknames for each other.

Nothing special was really happening between the two of us. I had a girl who i really liked at that time. her name is Nikka. And at that time someone likes her too. Somehow those were just somethings we talked about. Sometimes it was about how stupid this thing works or about the past relationships we had or just the thought of what to eat later. And yes, most of those talks were about food. Haha! I was even asking her for some opinions about what to do with Nikka. She was really good with giving. And then as time passed, as we became more closer with each other, I was starting to lose communication with Nikka. But somehow it didn't hurt so much, 'coz maybe i realized something.

Maybe somewhere between those long talks and senseless conversations,I was falling in love with her. 

Unfortunately, i have to keep those feelings for myself. I just can't blurt it out and tell her that i love her. Besides, somebody was still beside her and i was kind of scared of what she'd say if i told her that. So i decided to keep it to myself, even if it hurts.

But as days went by, I was falling for her more and more. I knew i can't keep this to myself any longer. I just have to tell her that I love her.
