Memories

I am lost into my own imagination while looking at his retreating back, suddenly I had a blurry vision on someone. What am I seeing, do I really know him, as I try so hard to remember that man, I heard a sigh that was loud enough to bring me back to the present.

I looked at my friend who is smiling slyly, that kind of look made me shiver. "What?" that's the only word came out my mouth as I looked at her with a confused reaction.

She raised her eyebrow, looking at me with her questioning stare, Kay-kay seemed to be in an awe for she just witnessed something unexpected. It's her first time seeing me looking at a man with interest, she might be shocked from what kind of expression I made a while ago, that made me wonder if my thoughts of kissing that man is obvious with my reaction.

After some time she speaks, "He knows you and yet you don't know him huh", her statement is not a question, I know her, she wants to know if I kept a secret from her. Now, this situation frustrates me, as I don't know who he is and my best friend over here is questioning me with her gaze. I took a deep breath and sigh with relief, I thought she saw my deepest thoughts of kissing that man.

I shook my head while saying "I don't know him, he just seems familiar, maybe I met him before, but I don't know when and where."

"I don't believe you" those are her words. I am indeed dumbfounded on how my best friend's trust issues surfaced at this time. She held my hand with excitement in her eyes while saying "I am happy Lala, you finally opened up."

Her words are like an echo that keeps playing in my head. With that I can't stop asking myself if I really opened up with the man who just walked away. Kayla seemed to read my thoughts, she continued patting my hands gently, she keeps on babbling words I can't figure out then suddenly she slapped my hand and said "Lala, I knew what you've been through, and I am happy that someone else came into your life, though you didn't tell me about it. I am still happy that...that man remembers you. And it's all that matters, maybe God gave you a sign, a sign for you to move on."

"Kay-kay, I really can't remember him, his eyes are familiar but that's the only thing I know. So please stop saying things like sign or whatever, you and I both know how stupid this heart of mine was, and I guess it's still stupid to miss someone who..." as I was thinking on what to say next Kayla slapped my hands again and this time it really hurts, I almost cried.

"Stop that nonsense, you should move on, it's been what Lala? It's been 2 years and you are still sulking? Lala, let me propose something, if that man a while ago suddenly appears in front of you again while we are in Taiwan, ask him for a date, but if your paths don't cross during our time abroad then I will let you sulk for another 2 years ".

When she said those I laughed and said" Kay-kay are you that desperate to see me in a relationship? I know, I'm single for a long time now, it's not because I am still hurt about what he did, but I am getting there ok? It's just that, it's hard for me to forget him. "

She was silent for a while then she said" Okay, but please sweety don't drag it for a long time. You need to be happy as well." I smiled and nodded. We both busied ourselves with our phones while waiting for our boarding time.

While scrolling at may archived photos, I came across of a picture that made some scenes played in head...
