I learned to admire a girl. I had my first crush when I was
in Grade Four. I’d better not tell her name or else I’ll burst. Let me just
explain and describe what kind of person she is and how she made me love her.
She is just a simple girl. She’s not really good at studies
but I can tell she has brains because how can she be in section one if she
doesn’t have one, of course. She’s an average-type of girl. She’s the eldest of
their family. She was also born on the same month as me.
The thing that she is gifted with and made me fall for her
is her beautiful melodious voice. It was really beautiful that when she sings,
it can beat the symphony of the angels singing, the harmony of the wind blowing
and the melody of the nature. It was a food for my ear. I’m really speechless
while I’m seeing her on the stage singing for the school during the School’s
Flag Ceremony. My eyes are really set to her and I can’t really move as if I
was struck by cupid’s arrow each and every time her voice swings through the
winds travelling to my ears.
Since then, I always dreamt of singing a song with her.
She is my classmates and we are also seatmates. Lucky me, I
get to talk to my crush. I can’t deny that I blush in front of her. She does
not notice because what does a fourth-grader know about blushing – none. I also
crack jokes – which are obviously half meant to flatter her beauty and talent.
A year after, we became fifth-graders then sixth-graders.
Sadly, she was transferred to section two. The only time I get to see and hear
her sing is when we both joined the theatrical club “HUGIS TEATRO”. There I see
her sing national songs with pride and honor for our country. Evident to her
expressions and the power of her voice the heartfelt singing.
We became high schoolers. She studied at Nangka High School
while I, on the other hand, is at MariSci. A year passed and I can’t surpass
the pressure of being a science high school student. I always get sick. I was
told to transfer to Nangka High School and there I saw her again. We became
classmates but, unfortunately, I can’t court her. She already has a boyfriend.
I just satisfy myself at the bonds of being classmates with
her but one time, our school wants to hold a singing contest for duets. She was
chosen and she chose me to sing also for her. I don’t really have the perks in
singing but I am really happy that she remembered my talent when we were young.
She chose the song Destiny by Jim Brickman and Jordan Hill –
a passionate song of forever undying love crossed by the twist of destiny. We
practice at their house and I was just struck so much with how she looks at
home. She is so cute and simple and I was just there standing, looking at her,
starstrucked by her elegantly simple gestures of a young woman.
I had more intense feeling when we started singing. I was
left hanging with my lyrics while I look at her singing the powerful chorus. I
was her only audience and I was in awe seeing her sing the song that tells
about destiny. It’s as if it’s telling me that she should be my destiny.
She practiced so much for the contest while I, unlikewise,
was just not confident of winning. We had three other contestants. We sang our
song. It was not good on my part but she held our presentation using her voice that
swung over the contest hall. Everyone was just looking at us, especially to her
when it is her turn to sing. The judges were just sitting with eyes wide open.
We never expected but we won the contest bringing home trophies. She had her
trophy and I also had one but more than that, it was more than enough for me to
sing with her. It was my dream since then.
*Flood and Fire came to our house but the trophy of our win still lives.
nice.. :D
