Confession
829 Words
I look around the whole place, it really is beautiful.
You can see how much he put effort and money just to fix the whole basketball gym.
With the curtain at the side, hiding something behind. I wonder what it is. maybe it was some word where it is written 'Will you be my girlfriend?'
Ah, seriously Rizza Mae, do you need to tell yourself about these?
There are also flower petals on the floor and balloons, varying from color blue, and white. He should have chosen red or pink rather than blue.
Yeah, Rizza, hurt yourself more.
I can't help but bite my lower lips as I look at the decoration he had done.
There is also a projector, and all. It was very beautiful.
And all, you can see how much he truly loves the girl he will ask for.
I felt my eyes started to warm up, as the tears were bout to fall.
I secretly hide it.
I don't want to look pathetic in front of them.
Then I saw Jenny enters, she is really beautiful.
With her long black wavy hair, reddish lips, porcelain color of skin, cute nose, feather-like eyelashes, Wearing a red and white dress.
No wonder Jared fell in love with her. Who wouldn't? She is so beautiful.
Then Marco plays a beautiful hymn of music then signals me to move forward.
But I felt being stuck on the ground.
I just can't.
What if once I gave her the flower she will really agree. but... but...
"Rizza!" I look at Marco who once again direct me to give a flower.
I walk forward, feeling the heaviness in every step I take.
It felt every move is the same as stabbing my heart.
Why did I agree?
Why did I do this?
I was then in front of her. She really is beautiful. I raise the flower and bow my head, Cause I don't want to see her reaction.
I'm scared...
I really am scared.
It felt like once I feel the flower goes away from my hand will be the same as my heart will be put into shred.
I've been waiting for a few more seconds but...
No action of taking away the flower.
I look up, only to see I am alone now.
Wait?
What's going on?
Isn't it was supposed to be her taking the flower?
Where is Jenny?
I feel happy, sad, and angry.
Happy because I had the chance, but sad and angry, because Jared put a lot of effort in the place, how can she just leave---
Huh?
Why... Why is it dark?
I- I'm scared of the dark.
Help me--
My eyes suddenly felt blinded by the sudden light focusing on me.
I don't get what's happening.
Then from my peripheral vision I saw the projector lighting up as it shows something on the screen.
My heart keeps on accelerating...
Those pictures...
It was the pictures of me.
My ugliest picture, funny picture, my wacky, and even my sleeping face.
I can't help but put my palm on my mouth.
Then a spotlight goes where the curtain is...
Showing him.
My Bestfriend.
Jared Fontanilla.
"Ah... Um.." I heard him cuss. "I've been practicing this." he says as I can feel his nervousness.
"Jared, what is this all about?"
I want to confirm. Is it really what I thought it is?
"Hey, Rizza Mae. Ahh." he then breathes out of nervousness as he rubs his palm behind his neck.
I look at him waiting for his next words.
"Okay." he exhales, then looks at me intently. "Rizza Mae Manglapus, I know that we are just a best friend... but... I've loved you for a long time already.
I don't remember when? how? where? and all. All I know is that, one day, I woke up feeling my heart longing to be with you. I know I sound ridiculous, but you see Jenny is actually my cousin. I know, I know I sound childish, but what can I do.
I was hoping that once you know I like her, you will get mad at me and tell me that I shouldn't, but no matter what I did, you never disagree... So I want to do this last attempt."
He then walks toward me along with the microphone.
"Hey Rizza Mae... I know that we are just a best friend... but, can we be more than that?" He says as he looks at my eyes, showing that he is truly serious.
With those words the tears I've been holding fell down. "Idiot."
"Huh?"
"I love you, Jared. and yeah, I can be more than your best friend."
He smiles at me like winning the best award as he hugs me.
"I love you, Rizza, I love you! I love you! I love you!"
I look at him, and with all my heart I say. "I love you too."
And with a kiss, we seal everything...
