Unforgettable Moment

                I will never forget the moment when I said the truth of my feeling to my girlfriend. 25^th August 2013 was the day when this moment written in my memory. This is not a romantic story of mine. It just an ordinary story for the others yet it was so special to me. It was really horrible and awkward. But, because of the horribleness it became so special. This was the first time I talked in front of a girl about my feeling. I used to text or call someone to say “I Love you”. So that’s why it was a bit challenging. I prepared something special for her. I bought a bouquet of white “aster” flower for her. I wouldn’t buy red roses because that is too mainstream.  I had prepared a speech to be said in front of her. When the time had come, I invited her to have food. We went to Mailaku for having dinner. I didn’t order heavy food because the situation made me forget about my hunger.  Potato wedges and coke float were my food which accompanied me. I had a strong feeling that she liked me too. It can be shown when I saw her smile across my face. Our conversation was a bit flat and sounds boring because I had nothing to talk with her. When we had a silent moment, I tried so hard to remember my speech and all of the words that would make her sure about my feeling.

                When we felt that we had nothing to talk about, we decided to go back home.  In the car, I tried to be honest and told all of the things I had prepared. “Mia, I have something to say, I want to be honest with you that….” After word ‘that’ I couldn’t speak as much as I thought. She answered curiously, “That? That what?”. I was so confuse to answer her response. So I just spoke and chose the word randomly which popped up in my mind. “No, I just wanna say that you’re beautiful”. She laughed after listening my answer.

                I thought that I wouldn’t be brave to say it. But, because the time went so fast and it got darker and became so late, I convinced myself that I should say it. On the way to her house, I parked my car on the side of the road. Then, I spoke out loud that I like her. After that I took my flower and directly gave it to her. She was quite surprise. I knew that she was a bit doubt about everything I had done but I tried to convince her. The most awkward moment was when I asked “Will you be my love?”

Finally, the simple ‘yes’ from her was the reason that could make me stayed up all the night. And that moment won’t be forgotten in my life.
