10 Affirmation (1/2)

It was then and there she decided to not fall in love easily again.

When she faced Lyndon for the last time, she confessed.

It was late in the afternoon and most of the students and workers have gone home.

They were standing at the little park where they first met.

”What have you called me for?” Lyndon asked her casually.

”Ummm… I..” Misha hesitated for a bit.

”What is it? Is there something wrong?” he asked with urgency and with worry. Lyndon thought that someone might be bothering her again.

”I wanted you to know that I like you...” Misha blurted out. She's so red like a tomato.

She didn't hear him respond. Instead, he laughed at her hardly. His boisterous laughter made anyone who passed them by looked with puzzled faces. After calming himself, he said, ”Misha, stop joking. Well, it's the best joke I've ever heard from you! Hahaha!!!”

She can't believe it!

He said that she was just joking. Her face paled and didn't know what to feel at that moment. Her emotions shifted from anger, embarrassment, and nervousness.

She looked at him with her tears verge on falling from her eyes. Lyndon noticed it and stopped from laughing.

”Oy.. You can't be serious right?” he asked with an awkward smile on his face. He began to panic.

”So what if I am?” she retorted. She glared at him feeling hurt.

”You know I have a girlfriend and I can't break up with her.” he said while scratching the back of his head. He's so calm telling her about this.

”I know. I just want to tell you.” she said while grabbing the ends of her uniform. ”So that I can move on.” she added. She can't stop her tears anymore. It rolled down on her small face like a mini-river. She was so relieved and at the same time, she was hurt.
