#ShortStory : 2 (Part 3)

" Well, you sound like a Poet ! I Like your Dialogues..."

She started *Laughing*

"What happened next ?" I asked her...

She continued...

It was the first time we met, I still remember the date 06 October 2015. I was scared, it was after a very long time... A month ago, I was so quiet, I never liked dressing up, I Quit making friends but now... It was all happening again. A Dream coming True !

He was right there as we planned... My Crazy, Tall, Whitish, Slim guy wearing his Favorite Denim waiting for me. I was scared of Bikes, the speed, the sound... I was so scared to hold him, I had no clue what to talk. But this Guy was so Fun loving.. He never made me feel uncomfortable. As soon as he reached the speed of 60, I hit him on his back requesting him to slow down. He knew i was scared, shy, my hands were trembling... He took me to one of his Favorite eating spot. I've never been fond of eating, he knew I was weak and made sure I ate good meals. Piri Piri Fries was our favorite...

Since then, whenever we met, Piri piri Fries was always on our List. He was the first guy I went out with, not that I never had any Boyfriends or Male Friends before.. But this one... Made me feel #Incredibly Special. I fell for him the day I heard him Sing ! Such a Lovely voice. And deep down I thought he likes me too...

I mean... who meets a friend on his every single work off to spend time together? Who stays awake for 4 hours to talk to a friend?

Who calls a Friend in every single break to check... If they've eaten or not ? Who gives regular updates of what you are about to do next... just to a #FRIEND ?

Yes... So Unbelievable that we saw each-other every day at work and we were fortunate enough to have the same work-offs. This time, I made a deal... To visit the Chapel before going for a bike ride. And he Agreed ! GOD is the reason behind my existence . And since this guy made me SMILE again, I wanted to bring GOD in his life again. He attended Mass only on 3 Occasions - Christmas, Easter and New Year. But just because I requested... He spent sometime praying in St.Peters Church with me.

We Prayed together, Attended Mass together, Read Bible Verses together. I Believe... " Family that Prays together, Stays together." And likewise with our friendship... We had an unbreakable bond !

Holding his hand and walking at the sea shore, Spending an entire afternoon fixing his bike, Spending time selecting a new helmet for him, Holding hands and road-crossing, Sharing one burger at MCD's... even though my lipstick was all over the bun, Instead of complaining he said," I've had Girlfriends before....".

He complimented me and kept telling me how pretty I looked ! I've always been fond of wearing shoes but sadly I never learnt how to tie my laces. He knew that and to annoy me unlaced my shoe... After a few minutes of me struggling to tie it again, He bent down on his knees to tie my Laces...! And he taught me to tie my laces, But I never really learnt... Cos I knew he would be there...

And Yes... Since October it became a daily ritual talking to him before I could shut my eyes and fall asleep. He left 4 hours prior to my shift end time but stayed awake to talk, to know how my day was, to know if I've had my meals or not. And he always kept saying... " It's become an HABIT now talking to you till morning and sleeping..."

I still remember, the first day I met... I was scared to hold his shoulder when we went for a bike ride and now I held his chest just to feel his heart beat ! Days where I was annoyed and tried not to hold him... he rode faster to the speed of 80+ and I held him again ! Tighter than ever before, just to feel the warmth of his body. We spent time discussing our Plans, and our best childhood memories. And he made sure to drop me home if it was too late. We sang together on our way back home... Nothings gonna change my Love for you & Hero was our all time Fav songs...

In such a short period of time 'HE' became the most important part of my life, and 'ME' the closest thing to his heart. Its never been that we fell asleep without talking to each other. I became his 'HABIT', and he... 'MY NEED'.

The world that we live in now is far different, Deep inside he knew I Had feelings for him... He could have stolen a kiss or two.. He dint ! He was Truly a Man of Honor...I was grounded in the memories of my Past and he was Lifted me high, He brought a dead Soul back to Life !

I'll always remember his words...

" I know its not easy, So I'd be there for you to be strong. Cos I wouldn't want you to be where I was."

And I replied saying... " Thanks for being there..."

And he said... " Doesn't seem like I've been there, But I'll be there.."

His words..."I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU..." made a huge difference in my life, I learned to Smile... I started socializing with my co-workers, I lived my Life the way a 21 year old is supposed to... Cos I knew I'm not Alone anymore !

His face always had a sparkling SMILE but one fine day, He was Shattered, Upset, I'd never seen such a side of him before... I remember he once mentioned...

"I wouldn't want you to be where I was..."

Yes we all have some dark secrets, I've had plenty and I'm sure You had one too Calvina... It's all about accepting the fact that "EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS , HAPPENS FOR A GOOD REASON !" Learning from our mistakes and Moving on is the Greatest Achievement !

I Moved On... Cos I had him...

He Never Did !
