Seven

"What are you doing then?"

She look at her British friend, Arthur.

"Go after him"

He added, but all she ever did was to shake her head in defeat.

"Even if he's not drunk, and all he said was true"

She look up to meet his emerald eyes with her teary ones.

"I was the one who give up on us before we could even start"

She cried.

But her friend got a hold of her face and look at her dead in eyes saying,

"That's why you need to fix it before it's too late. Okay Love?"

He pinch her cheeks.

"Come on Love, pick yourself together and give him a call"

He added, letting go of her cheeks.

"At least them him what you really feel about him, not bursting out of nowhere that you're giving up on him then ignoring his existence all of a sudden"

She felt bad at his words, but as expected. He's straight forward as ever.

"Is that really what I did?"

"Yes Love."

"But"

She stare up on him

"If he really love me back then... Why did he let me go so easily?"

"Come to think of it Love, you do have a point there"

He said, taking a hold of her hand like a gentleman he is.

"But that is something only he can answer, I'm sure you know that"

He gave her a gentle smile, his eyes telling her something.

"I'll leave so that you could talk to him in peace."

He said, standing up, but she extended her arms to get hold of him.

"I can't talk to him yet"

"Then at least sent him a message of meet up"

He said removing her hand on his arm.

"Remember Claire, You only have this day to tell him how you feel"

He started,

"But.."

Before she knew it the door was slammed on the wall.

She look back at her phone.

It's been years,

Years of running away from what she truly feel,

Years of thinking she was the only one suffering,

Years of ignoring his presence,

So maybe he deserves to know that truth.

So she picked up her phone,

"Gilbert? "

There was no reply, but that was enough to know that he was listening.

"I remember every word you told me, and I can't stop thinking about it"

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Meet me at the usual, I hope you still remember though"

"Of course I remember, how could I ever forget that when before I could even confess you dump me?"

"Gilbert"

"Yes, yes"

"I'll be there waiting even if you don't come"

Followed by his snicker,

It made her smile,

" That's my line"

"See you there"

"Yeah right"

Call ended.
