My First Encounter

It’s been seven months since I’ve known him but just four months since we became friends. It’s still vivid in my head how we started as strangers for three months. The first time I saw him, he was a very quiet person and as much as possible he will rely on himself or find an office staff instead of just asking his seatmates, the people around him if he had questions. Yes, I noticed his every move.And it was a heart-pounding experience being near to him, sitting right close to him. I can barely breathe, especially when he once talked to me. Later on, I realized what I told him was wrong. It was so embarrassing.

The days followed and of course, we never at least nodded at each others’ faces when we cross paths. He was snob. I have my own life studying and chit-chatting with my few good friends and he has his own too, oftentimes alone.

Days went by and became exciting when my friend and I found out that we both like him. “I knew it!” I said to myself. My guess was exact, true and correct so my friend and I enjoyed sharing the sight of him. We were aware of the time he arrives, the place where he sits, his networking site account, what he usually does, when he talks to other girls, when he plays the guitar etc. How we joke and play around stuffs like that and laugh about them, those moments keep us alive.

Inch by inch, we were one team helping each other to have chance encounter, at least knowing a little about him or talk a few words with him. After staying up late, my friend told me she thinks he already had a wife, being serious like a family man. I was never convinced but of course, I never dared to dig on the issue. Since we didn’t know the truth behind, the interest went down.

Once I was sitting next with another guy; I was studying seriously so I let this genius guy teach me. I knew he was in front of us when he suddenly made himself exist in our discussion, pinching us some information about the topic we didn’t know. I said to myself, “Oh yeah, he’s also intelligent. What a nice guy!”
