Title: Believe Me, I Love You
_________________________
I believe in dreams I believe in destiny I believe in true love and I believe in a happy ending. I was just an innocent girl who changed the course of time because every fact I experienced went against everything I believed and finally I was a hater of all that nonsense.
“hai can contact?” said a boy's voice woke up my bored sleep.
I looked towards the sound. Right standing upright a prince charming type model guy stretched out his hand. I looked up and noticed this stranger. Why is he here? How does he know my secret place?.
“ehemm hai”
“oh... Uh.. Hi I della” replied I'm embarrassed. Good now the person I just knew would run away because I realized how strange I was staring and had shuffled for 5 minutes. Good dell really good!!
“gue kevin.. n kok you not strange”.
“hah?!”
“lu paranormal?” wonder if he's edward cullen?
“ha.. Ha.. Nope-not. Guess just how your face looks. Easy to read” firmly kevin
“oh” is just my answer
“by the way if I'm edward cullen want you to be his isabella swan?” Added smiling
It's tuh!! I'm sure it's a cyberspace guy.
Not at all kevin is not paranormal or can read the mind. He's a transfer student who in just 5 months can be known throughout my high school. And I happen to be the first friend he knew then inevitably almost everyone now noticed me even they think I'm dating kevin. It's not that I object to a guy like Kevin being his girlfriend but I realize it's just going to be a dream and I don't want to get hurt by hope anymore. Although sometimes kevin is too sweet, also always say that he loves me. So now that I'm getting away from it I don't want to make assumptions in my brain.
“dell kevin accident!” screamed at my classmate
“apa!”
“ayo cepet here come with me!” susi said as she dragged my arm out of my classroom.
Upon arriving at the ball field I immediately looked for the figure of kevin who had said that kevin collided here. I can't think I can only blame how stupid I am when it comes to Kevin why I won't forgive myself. My worries stopped when I saw Kevin standing across the ball court with a big, healthy smile without being scratched in the slightest.
“della gem sorryin for all the stupidity that has made you hurt I know I am not prince charming like you want. But I've always dreamed of you being the queen of my life. Della gem want you to make my dream come true, will you be my queen?” kevin said as he knelt on one leg and stretched out his palm which contained a ring of sparkling sunlight.
I can't say anything just to look. Happy, upset, embarrassed mixed into one. Is this just a dream? I was afraid that if I blinked then all this would be gone and only I would be injured for a thousand times. I want to run and think this is all a dream. Before I realized that beauty is only a wishful thinking. But if I am always afraid of what hope I can feel happy even for a moment. I saw Kevin's face still smiling wide, his face full of hope. I took a deep breath and said three words that changed my whole life.
“iya I want”
Since kevin and I were. I am the happiest girl in the world. Every minute I never let go of the smile on my lips. Kevin was the most beautiful dream and my savior knight from the depths of my nightmare. Now I'm not afraid to dream and spread a smile of hope.
“sad you trust me right?” ask kevin
“of course darling, why?” ask me for wonder
“I don't want to lose you, I love you so much, ” said Kevin.
“kevin what's wrong?” my question is becoming more and more astonished.
I didn't stop thinking about Kevin's weirdness today. He acted as if the world was about to collapse, he wouldn't leave me from the morning even if it was just for the toilet. What the hell's going on? Every time I ask him he just gives a sad smile and says ‘all will be fine’ despite worry but I can't force kevin to tell me.
* Bamm *
The sound of a loud object falling behind us. I immediately looked at the sound and found a group of men in black suits heading towards us with lightning fast. The man's eyes were in front of us and dragged Kevin away from me. In panic I chased after him.
“kevin... Kevin... Kevin!!!” yells loudly. Oh my god what happened!
“trust me. I love you” kevin's voice before him and the swarm of men disappeared into the darkness of the night.
I couldn't move it felt like my heart stopped my chest hurt thinking my love was gone somewhere my eyes were getting faded and then I fainted.
* Bam *
I was shocked to wake up with cold sweat, a strong heartbeat. I shouted to Kevin. I watched my surroundings look astonished, afraid of the faces of my classmates. Until I realized I was in the middle of class sitting on my bench. What happens is that I'm not here and I'm on my porch with Kevin until they drag kevin and disappear… I couldn't finish that sentence I couldn't stand the pain without tears rolling down my cheeks.
“della you why” ask susi my friend. Wait a minute why Susi is sitting next to me, didn't she change schools last year why is she here?
“why are you here?”
I asked with a hoarse voice.
“what do you mean? I'm always here kok” replied Susi
“lu did you change schools last year?”
“apa... I never moved school della, you dream ya” replied Susi with a small laugh.
“didn't your sister move city after you were third grade?”
“ha.. Ha maybe, I haven't asked him. It's still a long time when we go up to third grade, right?” answer susi
“we are third class sus!” I said I was upset why Susi was being so rich when I was like this.
“dell you dream huh? We're still second grade. It is currently January 12,”
“january?” I'm more confused, isn't it July. Susi just nodded.
“now what year?”
“2012 lah”
“apa?!! You must be wrong now 2013 sus” said I can't believe Susi is getting me confused.
“askanya everyone here. nih look at your notebook only there is a date” replied susi pointing the book in my hand. My eyes are wide open, it is true that it is now January 12. The date I first met Kevin. The date before all my dreams came true. Is it all just a dream? How can dreams be that long?
“you know kevin maja sus?” I was hoping for a bright spot.
“emmm... Never heard, which child?” susi
My head was getting dizzy not thinking about all that. How can a dream be so real? How can the pain still feel piercing heart. I was fooled a thousand times by a foolish dream that finally awakened the rest of the wounds and lost. Why did God give me dreams? Why do I still believe when I remember Kevin's words to believe him. Wh why? Wh why? My emotions are soaring I blame the uncertain.
I clenched my hand withstanding the anger of self-abasement. My fingers began to hurt so tight I clasped my fist making the ring on my little finger feel tight. Wait, don't I have no ring? I put the ring to my face. Written behind the ring circle it ~ believe me, i love you ~. This is the ring of giving kevin time to declare his love on the ball field first. That day should only be in my dreams. Then why am I wearing a kevin gift ring?
