It was a beautiful sunny day. I opened the windows in my bedroom and looked out in amaze to see how beautiful the area looked like in the bright morning. Suddenly, I saw this beautiful girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes. I didn't turn to see anything other than her at that time. Her blue eyes captured my sight through all things. Her smile was amazing and the way she laughed was so cute. I was thinking that maybe I had fallen in love with her. I could feel my face turning red and hot. All of a sudden, my mother called me to come down for an odd reason since she asked me to clean up my room just 5 minutes ago. I walked down the stairs in curiosity. I could hear my mother laughing and another woman's voice at the same time. I rushed down and because of that I fell down by accident. I thought that I has broken my nose since it really hurt. Everything around me was all blur then a pair or feet with black and blue toe nail polish appeared in front of my face while lying on the cold, marble floor.
"Are you alright?" said a sweet, soft voice. I looked up in daze and saw 'her'. My face turned bright red as I saw her in her dark green T-shirt and short beige pants with those astonishing eyes. I replied back turning my face away and trying to get up "Yes.Thank you". She then giggled and said " There's no way you can be alright like that. Your nose is red like a clown's nose!" Well, I can't lie, it was. "Hehe..Umm, my name is Joshua. What about yours?" I said. "My name is Yuki. Nice to meet you!" Then my mother arrived and said " Joshua, looks like you've already met Yuki. She is 14 years old just like you." All of a sudden I felt as if I was so happy she wasn't younger or older than me. She smiled gently at me with her bright blue eyes. I smiled back at her but my face was really hot at that time and my heart was beating so fast it could explode. Suddenly, she pulled my arm and took me to the back yard. She asked " Hey Joshua, are you good at playing badminton?" I replied back looking puzzled " Well, I'm not too bad at playing the game." "GREAT! I'll be coming this evening at 4:00p.m. to play." she said eagerly. She then ran back into the house and left me alone at the back yard shocked and delighted at the same time.
At 4:00p.m. she arrived with her badminton racket and shuttlecocks. We then played the game under the evening sky and tender, green grass at the back yard. Honestly, my back yard is huge. She then collapsed to the grass saying she's too tired to play anymore. Panting and wiping off sweat from her grimy forehead, I took 2 glasses and filled them with cold lemonade juice. I put the glass on top of her head saying " Here, have some to cool down." She smiled and took the glass from me gently saying thank you. As we sat next to each other on top of the tender, green grass I prayed that time would just stop. The moment I still cherish even after what happened....
As we got older we eventually stopped chatting, sending messages and even looking at each other every morning. Eventually, we separated at the age of 24. I left my family for my studies on art to Japan. I had been staying in Japan for about 8 months. I've learnt to speak their language and their ways of living. On the 19th July 2019, in the middle of the night my handphone blared to life and alerted me of a message. I rubbed my eyes and opened the message. I thought that I was still half asleep to see that the person who sent this was...Yuki. I read the message saying that she's in Japan now at a nearby hotel for a holiday. She said she wanted to meet me. I replied her message saying " I'm so glad. How about tomorrow. I'll pick you up. Hope you still remember me!"
The next day, I drove off to the hotel and waited for her. All of a sudden I saw this extremely beautiful lady with bright blue eyes just like Yuki's. Long dark brown hair with a checkered long-sleeve shirt, black long jeans and converse shoes. She knocked on my car window with the same smile she gave me the first time we met. She entered the car with beads of tears running down her cheeks hugging me from the side saying " I'm so happy your here today!! At last I get to meet my old friend!" My face turned bright red once again and as we drove to the restaurant we talked about our life and studies. She apparently took photography as her career. As we sat down at the table, we started eating our meals. The sparkling grape wine had lost to Yuki's shimmering eyes. The whole time there, I wasn't listening to anything she said. I just gazed into her mesmerising eyes. All of a sudden I heard a word " engaged ". I asked her "engaged? Could you repeat that?" "Okay. Listen. I'm ENGAGED and getting married in 5 months and I was wondering if you could be Len's best man?" I was shocked so badly I thought my heart had skip a beat. Len is my older brother. He's just older than me by 1 year. I asked " Best man..? Why couldn't he tell me this..Instead of the girl that I fell in love with ever since I was 14...WHY?!" "I'm sorry..I'M SORRY JOSHUA!!!! It's just that, I took you as a friend, a very close one but Len as a lover. Please understand. I have no feeling of love as a lover to you. Only as a friend." she said. "Thank you...for being so open Yuki. I agree. I'll be the best man.." I replied with a gentle smile on my face when my heart was so painful that time. " Thank you!!! Thank you Joshua.." Everything else was nothing to me after that conversation.
During the wedding it self, I stood next to my brother on the golden beach under the thick clouds of the blue sky. As they said their vows, my heart was screaming in pain as I saw my first love being snatched away by my own brother.."You may now kiss the bride" said the Priest. I couldn't bare to watch it. It would be even more torturing than it was watching her with my brother the whole time. I closed my eyes and then I heard sounds of clapping hands. I then opened my eyes and saw them walking away smiling and holding hands. I left and drove off from the wedding ceremony. After that day, I suffered so much. Until I found.....'HER'. My sorrows had vanished....I could live again.
