This brought me back to the times, I thought I have found a home, a family I will call my own.
Five years back is the happiest I have, we we're together for six years. The memories of my past is so vivid and I can't take it out of my brain.
The 22 year old me, is a shy yet vocal one. I am ambitious yet lacks confidence. They say I am smart but a very shy one, they say this trait of mine will not take me anywhere until I met Zach.
Zach Schzed Ynno is a British Japanese who is currently studying Information Technology in T University. We were school mates, his family ran a business that caters Technology, Cars and electronics. They are one of the prominent family in Kobe, for having a large international company and now is situated in Kobe. He is the only heir and successor of their business. Despite being rich, he is one of the humblest person I've ever known.
We first met in the libray of our university, that time I was frustrated in my studies, I need some alone and quiet time. The library is quite large, full of students so I roamed the place and found an empty seat the corner of the library. I put my things down the table and made myself comfortable. I was immersed in my book when I felt that someone's eyes are on me. I looked at the person seating in front of me. I think I drooled when I saw his pretty face. His thick yet fine brows and smiling eyes made me drool. I looked at him as if I'm hypnotized by his stare. His beady eyes are small, round, and bright. And watching his lips, which is very odd, because they're not full, or classically defined, nor do they fit any of the criteria that you would think should be applied to be considered sexy. Yet they're very interesting, all the same. The cleft chin, cheekbones and that jawline definitely made him this handsome. I am still looking at him, as if I'm memorizing his features when he suddenly said "Done looking? Am I your type?"
I was shooked by his sudden question, I averted my eyes and stuttered while saying " Yeah... Ohhhhh.. No-ooo.. I mean.. Who are you?". He laughed at me which made me stared at him with an awe. He then extended his hand as he said, "I am Zach Schzed Ynno, and I'm wondering if you want to be friends with me?" His straight-forward remarks made me raise my brows. I took his hand and asked "you know me? No, I mean, why?", then he chuckled.
I looked at him "Why are you laughing?". He then looked at my hands, still holding his hands and said "Do you really find me handsome or strange? You looked at me with an awe and you are still holding my hand." As he said those I panicked and let go of his hand but he was fast enough to hold it and he smiled at me.
I am still in a state of confusion when he said "Listen to me, this might sound crazy to you, but, I can't take my eyes away from you since you started reading. I think I like you and I don't want to let this opportunity be wasted by just looking at you from a far. I want to know you."
With his remarks, I pulled my hand from his grip and said, "Are you crazy?". He tried not to laugh but couldn't, so he laughed loudly and everyone's eyes are on us as they simultaneously said "shhhh"
We both bowed our head and I tried not to look at him, then he started whispering "What's your name?". I looked at him and said, "I'm Larla, are you serious with what you said? Are you really thinking straight?... ". As I was talking he interrupted me by saying "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I.. Maybe.." those were the only words came out of my mouth. I am wondering if what I felt when I saw him looking at me is love or am I only attracted with his looks.
The time between us seems to slow down as I am wondering why my heart is beating so fast, I wonder if I'm having some heart problems or I'm just so nervous. "You are beautiful Larla, and I think I found someone I can create a Family with. Someone who I can call my home."
