STAND STILL
I am here in the library looking for a better place to read. I look at the other side, there's only a one guy and the table is long so if ever I will sit there he won't be bothered.

"C-can I sit here?" I ask for his permission. I gasp for air when he look at me. He is handsome. Pointed nose. Cute face, but hell he is handsome.

"Yeah, sure." He said and smile. I smile back and sit.

That day we become friends. We talked a lot of things, issues, and we also debated for some issues in society. He is fan to talked to because he is smart, he knows how to adjust his self by all means.

We are still in highschool. We are still young so I don't know what to feel about what I felt about him, it's just that I am too young for this feeling. I am scared that one day I will throw myself to him because I love him.

"You silent.." He noticed. We are here in the cafeteria, we are eating our lunch.

The coincidence part is that— we are classmates, I didn't notice him in our first day of school but the next week I saw him and I feel glad we are friends.

"Nah. I am just thinking about our christmas party, our recognation day is approaching. Plan to go on vacation? Family trip?"

"Nope. We don't have any plans for vacation, we will stay here."

We become silent. The silent is comforting so I don't mind. I was about to stan up when he hold my hand. I look at him.

"Y-yes?" I feel like I just blush. The heat on his hand keeps on giving me butterflies in my stomach.

"Can I talk to you?"

He seem so serious. I nodded and we go to the field where we only hear some voices in the middle of the field but all in all it's not that noisy.

"W-what is it?"

"I-i like you.."

I look at him as he look at me seriously. W-what? He likes me? How come? I bite my lips.

"I do too."

"Can I court you?"

I stop for a moment. My dad will get mad because of this. He said I won't entertain suitors. I am still young.

"I-i don't want to reject you, but my dad will dissapoint at me because he don't want me to entertain boys. Sorry, please court someone else I am afraid that I will reject you.."

I left him with no words.

Just like that.

Maybe, we just like each other but not that deep and sooner or later— we will be able to forget each other.

"Congrats!"

I smile while looking at my family and friends. They are happy because I reached my dreams.

"Thank you!"

"Atty. Mhiana Agustin! Music to my ears!" My dad said while holding my hand.

I am so happy that my parents are proud. I made this for them, for myself, and for my future. If I did entertained him before— is he really distructed me like what my parents say?

Maybe I will feel inspired because I like him too, but past years we lost communication but we are still friends on Facebook. He is now Engineer too. We both reached our dreams.

The night is happy as well as me, but I feel like so empty in my heart. I don't know why I am contented but sad. I sigh as I walk towards to our garden.

When I feel satisfied looking at the flowers, I saw him looking at me holding a flower. My eyes widen.

"C-chester?"

"Is it possible?"

I look at my parents, just behind him. My tears fell down on my cheeks. My dad nodded as a sign that it's okay, I can entertain him now.

"I stand still. So baby, is it possible?"

"Yes! I will let you court me now!"

A love will always be on the right time, yes we are ready to love but the person we want to be with still not ready. Love will always at the right time, a person we love will arrive at the perfect time.

At that time— it's still possible. It is possible..
