Enigmatic Man

"Eternity"

Por's POV

The one I want to please has arrived, I just graduated. The graduation ceremony is over, and it was enviable because they have companions taking pictures and celebrating this kind of event while I don't. I sighed and wishing my parents are here now because of that I felt sad. I'll visit the cemetery later to tell my parents that I finally made it.

I removed my graduation cap then Blake ran towards me and put his arm around me. One of his hands had a peace sign, and I was smiling, looking at him. It was only then that I realized that his mother had taking pictures of us when I saw a flash came from her camera.

"One more time, look at the camera, Por," his mom said to me while smiling.

So I looked towards the camera then Blake just smiled and hugged me tightly. When the picture was done, He removed his hug from me.

"Congratulations to us Por, I hope even if we graduated we will not cut our communication. When you are lonely then you want someone to talk to do not hesitate to call me" he said to me with concern.

"You are my landlord Blake so you can go to the apartment anytime you want" and we laughed. "And then this" he cuffed in his pocket and wore me a rose gold bracelet with hearts.

"It looks so expensive I can't accept it," I said shyly.

"No, accept that. I will be upset! That is a symbol of my gratitude to you because you are always there when I have a game and It's also my Graduation gift" he smiles genuinely.

I hugged him with joy. "Thank you" he touched my heart.

We still hugged each other. "Por, we'll gonna have a simple celebration maybe you want to come along?" Blake's mom was inviting me, but I refused.

"I have somewhere else to go. Thank you so much for the offer" I smiled.

"Are you sure?" Blake asked

"Of course I'm fine", and I tapped his arm while smiling brightly.

And they said goodbye to me; there are still people here who take pictures and have a family to capture the moment. "I hope I had that too" I whispered and had a wistful smile.

Then I slowly removed my graduation gown then hangs it onto my arm.

When I lift my head, I saw in the distance that a man was walking in my direction. Then the people around are waving and wondering who it was. Because he has a strong charisma that can turn every lady's attention, I also noticed that he was holding a bouquet and could not take his chocolate brown eyes off me. I'm hooked with his gaze and trying to remember where I saw his face.

I feel the time and surroundings slow down. At last, I remember who he is. He is the man with the umbrella I saw. Just like I saw him, He's still has a good sense of fashion, and it is breathtaking. All I knew was he was standing in front of me, as we looked into each other's eyes. He has a beautifully structured face and a well-built body like a Greek God. You can say he is handsome but with sad smiles.

"For you" he handed me flowers, and smiled, but it was sad. I want to know what is behind those smiles.

My chin quivered, as I take it, I do not turn my gaze to him. I was afraid he might disappear from my sight.

"Thank you" there is a part of me that I do not understand why I felt this way and my tears flowed.

"Congratulations, I'm so proud of you," and hugged me while my tears kept falling.

My lips still trembling, and he gradually removed his hug with me. Then wiped away my tears and stroked my chestnut brown hair.

"See you soon" he gave me a bittersweet smile then slowly turned his back on me once he walked away.

I did not take my eyes off him until he's out of my sight and nowhere else to be found inside the auditorium. It happens so fast that I still do not understand how I feel. Many questions are playing inside my head, and I ran outside the auditorium until I went around the campus. I could not even have a chance to get to him.

I looked at the flowers I was holding, "Does he know me? Or my parents?" I whispered to the flowers that the petals were slightly damaged when I ran.

The image of his face flashed again in my head suddenly, and I feel pain. I was holding on to my chest and knelt as I released the flowers. It hurts even more, and because of this pain, I cried so much as if I was the saddest person alive. Who is he? I missed a chance to ask who is he; suddenly, I felt so much pain inside my heart like I was stabbed over and over again.

--

I was in front of my parents grave the I lit a candle and set aside the flower I had bought. "Ma? Pa? I graduated; I'm a good student. I also have a medal, and honour" I sat in front of their grave. "A man just came to my graduation earlier he gave me flowers, but the only weird thing was when I saw him, and we stared at each other I cried, I feel like I have known him for a long time and we just met again, I can't remember that I met that face before. Maybe you know him? Tall, handsome, and with sad smiles " and his face flashbacked to my head again.

"Who is that mysterious man?" a question that stuck on my mind.

"See you soon" his last words.

And it looks like we're going to meet again which brings me excitement.

"Mister Flower" I whispered then looked at the flowers he gave me and my smiles on my lips could not be erased.
