“ Have you ever wondered how it would feel like if someone very close to you decided to walk away?”
I think this question was my turning back point why later I decided to push myself to get her, so that I can always be by her side.
I know Rei 7 years ago when we were in Sydney for study. For me at that time, she was not more than just a friend. Me and our friends spent our nap time after church at her apartment. We hung out together until late night. Or perhaps doing our paperwork together. She was just an annoying and childish girl for me. We cannot spend our time without hard talk, fighting and teasing each other.
But later, on a very calm afternoon, at her apartment, few months before she graduated, I ask her what her next plan was after her graduation, and she told me that she were going to take her master degree in Seattle. I don’t know why but when I heard that, suddenly I felt very sad and don’t know what to say. I feel a very strange feeling inside my heart where I don’t want to part with her. After days of contemplation, I finally decided to take the risk to speak out my feeling towards her.
Now, if I look back at my times in Sydney, telling her about my feeling and asking her to marry me is one of the decisions that I will never ever regret. And now we are ready to make many decisions together. We can cherish in our life together as Mr. and Mrs. Riyou Pangihutan.
