amor fati
it was around 1 am in the morning,someone is knock at my door. when i open the door,i found her standing in front of my porch. she looks cold but she smiled at me. she doesn’t say anything. i could not asked more but offer her to come in.
and as i welcome her to get in,she step carefully into my sofa. and then she land herself in the most polite and modest way. a remarks that carefully explained to me that she’s here uninvited,but also known that she was a guest.
i put a tea on kettle for her then i pour it into my clean but plain cup and i offer her some biscuit. i could not offer much since everything came suddenly.
she picked up the cup and sip it slowly and says that the tea is little bit bitter but it’s okay. she also took the biscuit and bit it in well - mannered movement. everything was a ladylike.
and then i took a seat beside her. the night felt twice cold. she begin to tell me a story. i could listen to her saying but it’s not what i want to hear. the thing i want to hear is why she’s here right now,in the middle of the night !
and then two or three minute after she stop talking and looking into my eyes. all i could read from her is,”you asked me to come,yet you didn’t say anything”.
and i felt really confused. did i phone her to come or something ?
and after that,i could told by her face that she begin to feel annoyed by my silence. i tried to bring up topic by told her some story and ask her something but she just replied everything in a very stale and short answer.
and then i felt very nervous. i feel threatened and i feel like building fence and wall between us.
it can not be like this. i close my eyes. and start to make conversation with my own head.
” what did you think of her?”
“i..like her..really..”
“so why didn’t you tell her?she’s in front of you now”
“i..want to do that..but what if after i told her that..she could not accept it..and run away and never came back?”
“that’s the probability,but it’s okay..why don’t you try it?”
“i..don’t have the courage to destroy our friendship by saying that..”
“you just denying yourself by doing that you know..”
“yeah..really..”
“it would not change a thing..even if you stay quiet about everything she’s still be gone someday..it’ll be right if you told her now..”
“you right..why not..”
and i open my eyes,and i saw her standing in front of me. she’s looks like she’s ready to say goodbye.
i put my courage and asked her,”dear my expectation,i like you,i don’t want anything change between us,although saying this change everything. all i know that i feel very comfortable whenever i am with you.”
..and that’s when everything started fade into morning as i woke up and realise,that i have fallen into her.
