You Are My Heaven

Start Falling in Love

That afternoon after coming home from school, Cindy stopped by a small bookstore to buy something, she accidentally met Andrew, her senior and neighbor, along with someone she had seen playing the piano in the music room on the first day of school.

Cindy gasped speechless, her heart really seemed to stop.

"Oh my God !!" she exclaimed to herself. Who would have thought she could see that guy again, even up close. There was a strange feeling engulfing her.

"Hi Cindy! .... why are you stunned, like a ghost," said Andrew, patting Cindy's shoulder.

"Andrew, what are you doing here? .... who is that?" Cindy asked courageously. At that time she was very nervous.

"This is my classmate .... please introduce yourself..."

"Heaven"

As soon as Cindy and Heaven shook hands, Cindy felt the hands were warm. She just found out that the person who touched her heart by playing the piano named Heaven. What a lovely name for Cindy. In her life, Cindy had never had this special feeling for a boy. He used to be so ignorant of anyone. But when he faced Heaven, his heart and feelings seemed to melt, her chest was so tight.

"Why is Cindy so quiet ....? O yeah, we'll go home together later, Heaven brings a car, he wants to come to my house, do you want to come?" Andrew's voice startled Cindy.

"Oh yes, thank you, but I brought a bicycle, another time, okay ..." Cindy refused, if she knew before, she wouldn’t have to bring a bicycle.

"Well ... even though I want to treat you to a pizza, you know .." Andrew replied half disappointed.

"Yes, sometimes I want... take me along if I walk ..." said Cindy hopefully, glancing at Heaven who had only been standing next to Andrew.

"Then we'll go ahead ... I'll see you later, Cindy" Heaven smiled ending the conversation. Cindy nodded while waving her hand. You can still imagine Heaven's face, which is so sweet and soft, his eyes are shady, his body is tall, besides that he is also good at playing the piano.

At night Cindy could not sleep, she still remembers what happened last afternoon at the bookstore. Even though her eyes were very heavy, she covered her head with a pillow, but the image of Heaven's face always appeared in her mind. Finally she left the room, her mother was still busy tidying the dining table, Cindy’s mom was selling breakfast in front of her house every morning.

"Mom, haven't you slept yet? Want can I do to help ?" Cindy’s mom was surprised to hear the voice of her first daughter.

"Why ... don't you fall asleep? Tomorrow, you wake up early in school, honey ..." said her mother, stroking Cindy's hair.

"I can't sleep Mom .... even though I'm already sleepy" Cindy answered. His mother smiled meaningfully.

"I know ... now Cindy is a big girl, already a high school student. There must be something you think about ... please tell me" said mom. Cindy smiled nervously.

"Ah, you’re kidding mom... but honestly, I can't lie to you.... yes mom, I know someone at school, he is my senior, his friend Andrew is our neighbor" said Cindy.

"oo… Andrew, Uncle Lukas' nephew. Do you like his friend, honey? You used to keep avoiding Andrew when he played here ... since when did you care about him ?" Her mother pinched Cindy's nose anxiously.

" Mommy..., maybe I only admire him, his name is Heaven, isn’t it a good name, Mom?, when Cindy first entered school, Cindy saw him playing the piano, the song was really nice, if you look at his eyes I can’t hold it, like feeling fainted .... I never think that if he was in the same class as Andrew ... "Cindy’s mom laughed spontaneously. She embraced her daughter whom she really loved.

"Oh ... so you are now starting to fall in love to somebody...so sweet... someone here is falling in love ..."

"come on Mom... you’re just teasing on me... like you’ve never been young before..." Cindy snapped. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment of being teased by her mother.

"Mom's girl is already big ... ok, now sleep over there ... see it's 11 at night, don't forget to pray, okay?" Her mother kissed Cindy's forehead and then entered the room. Tonight, Cindy is relieved to have poured out her heart’s feelings on Mama.

'Ah .... I have to find out something about Heaven ... his face is so handsome and soft ... I fell in love at first sight ... God ... what is this feeling ... always pounding when looking at that face. ..the face that always imagined in my every dream ... could a girl like me have it? "Cindy muttered to herself before she tried to close her eyes, remembering the face that always danced in her mind.

During the English class, Cindy seemed less enthusiastic. English lessons are a subject that Cindy doesn't like.

"Cindy, you can't look lazy like that, Miss Ocha will see you like that, you will get angry, you know." Lisa pinched Cindy's waist.

"I've always been annoyed with this lesson ... why should we learn a foreign language if we never go abroad? It's a waste of time ..." Cindy grumbled.

Suddenly Aldo, the class president, stood up and stepped forward. Looks like he has something to say.

"All my friends .... there is important news ... Miss Ocha this morning was treated at the hospital, so today we all work on assignments in the library. After school we both visit Miss Ocha ...". Without realizing it, Cindy jumped with joy.

"Hooray .... free today!" Spontaneously, Lisa grabbed Cindy's hand. All eyes looked strangely at Cindy. Suddenly Cindy seemed to realize her mistake.

"Uffh ... sorry ... I mean I'm not happy that Miss Ocha was hospitalized, but I'm just glad I didn't have a lesson today." The whole class cheered her on. Cindy looked down embarrassed, smiling shamefully.

"If you don't like English lessons you don't have to go to school here huuuu ..... not suitable for you! You are suitable for a cheap school or free ha ha ha ..." chirped someone from behind.

It turned out to be Merry. Merry is the prettiest and richest student in Cindy's class. Since they first met, she really didn't like Cindy. Cindy also hardly ever talks to her.

Cindy doesn't like arrogant person. Every day Merry always changes her accessories, cars and hairstyles. Everyone likes to be friends with Merry because she is a royal except to Cindy and Lisa.

Hearing Merry's remarks, Cindy spontaneously got up and left the classroom. Lisa followed behind her.

"Cindy wait!" Lisa was standing beside her. Cindy stopped in her tracks.

"Don't look for trouble with Merry ... her followers are a lot." Lisa gasped for breath.

"Sorry Lisa, I just want to leave class .... instead of reply on Merry, it will be a problem again" Cindy continued her pace quickly.

"Now where are you going .... there will be a teacher who will see us. we will get caught and angry" Lisa returned to chase Cindy. As if not listening to Lisa, Cindy still walked quickly towards the school garden. Her heart was very upset.

"You rich people don't know ethics! Does this school belong to your ancestors? I can't stand to see her arrogant behavior ... !!" Cindy shouted.

Lisa embraced her best friend's shoulder. The two of them sat on a park bench, as the recess bell rang.

During the evening at her house, Cindy stood in front of her bedroom mirror, then Cindy rubbed her own cheek, looking deeply at her face in the mirror.

"It's not usual for you to mirroring Cindy.. usually you just go away..." His mother scolded him gently. Cindy was surprised to see her mother's sudden appearance.

"ups Mom..." Cindy blushed.

"It's okay dear .... it's natural that girls are like that ..."

"Mom ... why am I less beautiful? How come my skin is dark? It’s just an average, ... so what can I do to be pretty Mom ...?" Cindy’s Mom laughed. Mom touches on Cindy's hair fondly.

"Beauty isn't what it looks like, Cindy, it's beauty from within that is much more valuable ... learn to be grateful in every way ..."

"Yes Mom ... but I am embarrassed if I meet Heaven ... because Heaven is really handsome Mom ... His skin is white, so different from me..." Cindy's face frowned.

"I told you that beauty from the heart is what matters Cindy ... if your heart is good, everyone will like you ... God is fair, you know. Besides, you are beautiful according to me..." Her mother is wise. Cindy started to smile and hugged her mother tightly.

"At school ... all of my friends are good in grooming ... they are beautiful, you know Mom.... Will Heaven want to see me ..." said Cindy.

"Yes, if you are kind and considerate, he will certainly set his eyes on you ... trust Me ..." his mother replied.

"Really Mom? Even though I'm not pretty?" Asked Cindy. Cindy’s mom nodded her head steadily.

"Yeah, right ... I already said ... beautiful is from the inside ... a good boy will see girl’s innermost heart, not see her physical ..."

"Okay ... because of you I'm so confident ... thanks Mom ..." Cindy hugged again.
