A Little Story

There was a boy who had a long distance relationship with his girl. At, first everything seemed to be fine. But after a few months, something began to get wrong.

One day, the girl made a call. She then asked a little question, “are you really serious ‘bout our relationship?”. “Yes, I am”, said the boy. “When will you marry me, then?”, asked the girl again. “As soon as I can. Just pray for me that I’ll get a job soon”, said the boy. The girl then closed the conversation and she was suddenly hard to find. When the boy tried to call, her number was not active. The message he sent was often delayed or even unsent. The boy then made a promise to call the girl whenever her number was active.

And that day finally arrived. Her number was finally active, and he called her. They talked each other for a few minutes. It surprised the boy when the girl said “We have to be done”. “Why? We can’t be done, I love you. I’ll think about it before agreeing it”, replied the boy. “I’m sorry, but I feel hurt”, replied the girl.

A few days later
The boy sent a reply, “I can’t understand it still”. “Don’t worry, we can still be friends”, replied the girl. “If that’s what you really want, I will let you go”, said he. “If someday I’d like play around your town, would you mind letting me come into your house?”, asked she. “Of course. But would you let me come to your house too?”, asked he. “What for?”, asked she. “To have you engaged”, said he. “Please, think about it once again”, said the girl. “Thank you then for everything. Please forgive all my mistakes to you. The time we spent together will always remain. I will not forget it”, said the boy again. “You’re welcome. I’d like to apologize to you too”, said the girl. “Let the destiny bring us then.”, said the boy.

A few weeks later
“Boy, I really can’t be with you anymore”, said a message of the girl. “Okay, then. But if fate brought us together, would you still wanna be with me?”, asked the boy then. “No. I really can’t be with you”, said she. “It makes me sad. I’m about to do a job interview. Would you please pray for me?”, said he. No reply until a few minutes later ….
“Boy, please don’t cry. Just keep our friendship. I’ve learned many things from you. I won’t let anyone talk something bad about you. If you ever find someone new, keep her trust and faith. Ok?’, said the girl. “Ok. I’d like to apologize once again. I won’t let anyone talk something about you either. I might be not good enough for you. May you find someone better. Love him sincerely too”, said he while his was actually crying.

On the day of Iedul Fitri, the girl sent a message to the boy with using a new number. One week after it, the boy sent a news that he got a job. They sometimes still communicated by short messages like when the boy told the girl that an article written by him was publisehd on a tabloid. The girl congratulated him for that.

But one day, none of the girl’s number was ever active. The boy still tried to call her and sent her message but they were unsent. He tried to send her e-mail, but it was never replied. So they never talked each other again. He just kept living his life just like nothing bad ever happened. He kept trying to find someone new while he was praying that someday he could see the girl again.

Four and a half months later
The boy felt that he really missed the girl. He just wanted to talk to her. He sent a message to her sister’s Facebook account only to make him sure that the girl was just fine, but there once again was no reply. Waiting impatiently, he then decided to access the girl’s Facebook account. He was surprised and shocked when he found out that she had got married about two months before, only about a month after their last contact.

He finally knew the reason of the words “I really can’t be with you”. Yes, he did know. The truth is that the girl knew for sure that she would be married to someone else. She just didn’t wanna tell the boy about it. She didn’t even send him a wedding invitation. He knew that she was really a kind girl who knew that if she did tell him or send him an invitation, it would really break his heart and even make him cry.

Today….
The boy is walking still. Facing his solitary life. Searching for someone to fill an empty space inside his heart. He knows he will surely find someone, a perfect one for him. He keeps believing that sooner or later he will find her. The beloved and loving one. The very special one.
