Freddie is a perfect guy for me
SHORT STORYPERFECT As a story writer for a love story, I want my life to be as perfect like the life of my characters in my book. But perfect is impossible for me. I dont know why? But I like comparing my male characters to the real man. Thats why I always think that my characters are more perfect than the men in the world. No one can be as perfect as them. In reality, why cant a real man be as perfect as the characters in a book? Is it impossible for them? Is it difficult to be perfect?They always ask me how I wrote those stories. They ask me if the story is based on my experience. I just laughed at them and lied that it was my experience. The truth is I dont know what it felt like to be in love. I never had been in love. Of course I want to have a husband someday but I was afraid of something about falling in love. Its being hurt by someone I love.How I wrote love stories but never been in love? Its simple. I just have a wide imagination. I just imagine what lovers will feel and do. I dont need to experience how to be love so I know what to write. I just listen to others stories about love. In there, I learned what love is. How beautiful and cruel it is.People say that Im beautiful. They are really curious why I never had a boyfriend. They say that I need one so that I can experience it and I can write more love stories. But I dont need a boyfriend so that I can write many love stories; all I need is my wide imagination. Many guys tried to court me but I turn them all down. All of them are not like my leading man in my stories. When I told them why I turn them down, they looked at me like Im some person from the other planet. I know its weird but I felt that way. I am looking for a guy who would be my leading man. Who is like a character in my stories. A perfect guy. I was in the mall looking for a dress for our companys anniversary. There would be a party and many important people from other companies would be there. Old people will be there. Many teenagers were in the mall and I was observing them. Is relationship important to our lives?I was going through a pile of dress but I cant find a dress for me. What should I wear? I saw the saleslady looking at me. I smiled at her but after a few minutes she talks to me.Are you looking for a dress? the saleslady asks.Yes, I said still searching for a dress to buy.What dress would you like, maam? the saleslady asks me.Anything fancy for a party, I said. I like royal blue dress. A cocktail one. Do you have one?The saleslady smiled and goes through the piles of dress, here and there. Only for a few seconds she already got so many dresses hanging in her arms. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, shes an expert in finding a good dress.Here you go, maam. Try it all. As you can see its not all royal blue. You can try some other colors and pick what you want. The dressing room is in the left side, she said pointing at the left side of the store and giving me all the dresses she picked for me.I thanked her and walk toward the dressing room. When I was near the dressing room, a guy accidentally bumped me. All the dress was scattered at the floor and the guy caught me before I hit the floor. My eyes were closed and when I opened my eyes, I saw sparkling, deep blue eyes staring at me. Its about a minute before I realize what I am doing. I was in this guys arms and staring at him. When I came back to my senses I stand up immediately and look at the floor.˜Oh my God! I said and kneel down and pick up all the dress on the floor. The guy helps me pick it up. Thank you so much. I said not looking at him. I was still embarrassed because of what I did. I didnt mean to stare at him. I cant explain what I felt when I was in his arms. Its different. I “ I dont know.Are you okay? he asked me.I was still not looking at him. I stand up and when he was about to gave me the other dress I looked at him. My eyes widened. He was like I imagine my characters would be like. Tall, very handsome like a prince in a fairy tale and a he seems like a charming guy. He has deep blue eyes and muscular body. He wears a neatly gray tshirt and pants. He looks like a rich man but he only wears a tshirt and a pants. I stared at him for a long time. I didnt realize when he holds my hand and put the dress in it.Oh, sorry about that, I said shaking my head. And thanks for catching me a while ago. I can feel my face blushing.No need to say thank you, he said smiling at me. I feel like my face was burning when he smile at me.I smiled back at him and I say goodbye. I walk straight to the dressing room, day dreaming. How wonderful could a guy be? He seems to be very nice and sweet. I turned around to see if hes still in the store but to my embarrassment he also turned around to look at me. I just smiled at him and look straight.Why did he look back? Does he like me? No, no, no! Maybe he just turned around to look for clothes. I smiled to myself, thinking.After a few day dream I tried all the dress the saleslady give me. I tired the red dress with a high slit on the side, a black dress that is so low that my bosom can be seen and some other dress. At the end I pick the blue tube cocktail dress with white roses printed on the bottom right and white rose shaped lace on the waist.I paid for the dress and leave the store. Sigh. I was still thinking about that guy. Hes so handsome. I never thought someone that good looking will accidentally bumped me. I cant forget the face of that guy. I just wish I could see him again.The day of the party, many guys approached me. I thought that the people who will be in the party are all old people who like talking about business but I was wrong. There are many people who are the same age as me. Most of the guys were good looking. But no one is as good looking as the guy I met in the store.Do you want a drink? Brian, one of the guys who had courted when we were still teenagers asks me. He is my coworker and a good friend of mine. When he courted me I was so surprise, I didnt realize that he had feelings for me. We were such a good friend that I cant believe he will fall in love with me. But its in the past. At least were friends.Sure. Thanks, I said. I looked around and look at all the people having fun. Some are dancing, some are talking to each other, some are sitting alone, and some are laughing so hard. My eyes were still roaming when I just saw a guy familiar to me. A handsome guy. The guy I met at the store! I walk towards him my eyes locked into him. Is that him? He seems different. When I came closer I still cant see if thats really him. When I came much closer, I stopped. He was looking at me. He saw me! He saw that Im looking at him and walking straight at him. I turned around immediately and walk fast, my face burning. The guy caught me and I turned around.Hey! Its you, I said my voice pretending to be surprise. Why are you here? What a stupid question? Of course hes here to party.You work in here? he asks me not letting go of my hand.Yes, I work in here, I said. He was not looking at me, he was staring at me. Why? Do I look ugly to him? Do I have something on my face?Whats you name? he asks me.Im Paige McLeish I replied.Paige McLeish? The writer? he asks his eyebrow raise.Yes. Howd you know Im a writer I ask him. He doesnt seem to be reading my books. I looked at his hands and thats when he let go of my hand.Sorry about that, he said. His ears were turning red and I dont know why. I just smiled. My sister is reading your books. She seems to like them. Im Freddie by the way. Freddie Rick.Freddie Rick, the CEO? I ask him my eyes widening. He, the guy I met yesterday only wearing a tshirt and pants is the CEO? I never met him before or even seen him. I never thought that he is the CEO of our company. He is so young to be the CEO.Im sorry, sir for disturbing you, I suddenly said when I found out what his position is. Im really embarrassed. When we first met he accidentally bumped me and I stared at him for a long time! And now he is the CEO? How could I face him now? I “ I need to go now. Someone is “ uhm “ waiting for me and there he is. Bye now.I walk away immediately and he doesnt seem to stop me this time. Where have you been? I turned and saw Brian. Oh! I forgot about him.Sorry. I just went to the rest room, I said. I looked back but I didnt see Freddie anywhere. Where is he? Why didnt he stop me? And why am I thinking these?Heres your drink, he said giving me the drink. I am really bored. The parties of this company are always so boring. The music is so old ¦¦ I was not listening to what he is saying. I cant seem to concentrate right now. I was thinking about Freddie. I cant believe he is the CEO? Why didnt I see him before? Oh, right. He is always in his office, working and when he needs something he just pushed a button and someone will be there. I always heard that the secretaries are all drooling over him. When I heard that I just laughed at them. I didnt know that the guy they are drooling is so handsome!Earth to Paige, Brian is waving at my face. Are you listening to me?Yes, yes, I lied.He smiled and continues what he was saying. I looked around and if lucky I could just see him even a glimpse of him.At the dance floor, there I saw him with a girl so pretty that every guy who she passes by will look at her. Maybe she is his girlfriend or even his wife. I just looked away and listen to Brians words.When the party ended, Want me to take you home? Brian asks me.Thank Brian, but I cant, I said. See you tomorrow, okay? We still have to go to work.Brian smiled and kissed me at my cheeks. Just make sure you will get home safe. Promise me.I promise. Dont worry about me. I can take care of myself, I told him. I waved goodbye to him and he waved back.I was alone in the side walk waiting for a taxi. I forgot to bring my jacket along. It was so cold in out here. And the taxi has always had a passenger. I was really shaking now. Is it going to rain? No, please! I dont have my umbrella.My arms were cross and I was really getting worried that I couldnt get a taxi. I should have accepted Brians offer. After half an hour of waiting, I was shaking so badly. The wind is blowing so hard. I am sure it will rain.Then I heard a cars horn. I looked up and saw a car at my left. Is that car horning at me? Then to my surprise Freddie came out of the car.Why are you here? he asked me. He took off his coat and places it around my body. You are shaking. Need a lift?No, no! I just wait a taxi in here. Im alright, I said. And thanks for the coat. The coat is so soft.He looked at me with his eyes so gentle my knees tumbled. Hey! he said catching me. Are you really alright? his voice was so worried that I want to hug him tightly and say that Im alright. I will take you home. And dont make any excuses.I was about to make some excuse but he seems to read my mind. I can go home by myself, I finally said. And maybe your wife is waiting for you.He laughed. My wife? Im not married.Sorry. I thought you already got married, I said not looking at him. I was still thinking about the girl she was dancing with. Am I jealous?Even a girlfriend, I dont have one, he said smiling at me. I saw that smile. That gentle sweet smile. And now, its really getting cold in here. Lets get in the car.He opened the door in the front seat and I get in. Hes really a gentleman. He gets in also and started the car. Where do you live? he ask me.In sunrise, I replied. Even in the car its so cold. The air conditioner is in its high power.He saw me shaking and turned the air conditioner lower. Dont you have your car? he asks me.My sister borrowed my car. Hers is being repaired. And I cant say no to my sister. He is older than me. And my parents would be angry with me if I didnt agree with it, I said.At that ride, we talk about many things. He tells me his life and I tell mine. He told me he is the only son of the president of the company. He is afraid of his father thats why he always obeys whatever his father wants him to do. He told me that his father never listened to what he says. He doesnt have any freedom to say what he thinks. For his father its not worth it to listen to a man like him. His mother died when he is still young. Because of that loss, his father became so cold to him. When he told me those things I cant believe it. Ive seen the president and he looks so kind.After he tells his story, I tell mine. I have a sister named Alicia. She is so beautiful that many rich men like her. She is my parents favorite.Whats your sisters like? he ask me.Why? Do you want to meet her? I said suddenly feeling sad. Maybe he is interested with my sister. Shes nice. She is a good dancer and she has a very good sense of humor. She treats me like Im her sister. And she is engaged with a guy I dont know who. I never met him. Its only my parents and Alicia who sees that guy.Really? he said his voice looking interested. You know what? My father is the one who will picked for the girl I will marry. Actually, he already picked the girl. Ive seen her and shes really pretty. But I want to marry someone who I love. Someone who I can spend my whole life with. Someone who will never get tired of loving me.I was looking at him when he said those words. I cant believe a guy like him can say those words. I thought he is like the other guys who likes collecting girls and leave them after. But I was wrong. He is different. He is so sensitive when it comes to love.Can I ask you something? he asks.What is it? I said.What do you like in a guy? he asks me.I stared at him. Well, dont laugh at me,Why would I laugh at you? he asks me.What I like in a guy is “ I want him to be like my characters in my stories. I answered.He pauses for a while and then he said, Is that possible?I dont know, I said.Well, alright, he said.We talked about ourselves and other things about ourselves. After a long ride, at last the car stopped in front of our house. Nice house, he said.Thanks. Want to go inside first? I asked him.No need. I need to do something. Thanks for the offer anyway, he said. He gets out of the car and opened the door for me.Thank you, I said. He was about to get inside when I remembered that I was wearing his coat. Hey, your coat.Oh, right, he said. Bye then. Hope to see you tomorrow.I waved at him and he left. I was so happy that we talk and have some time together. I really hope to see him tomorrow. The following day, all my coworkers were looking at me. Whats up? What did I do? Why are all these people staring at me? Did I get a promotion or what? Did I do something wrong? I walk faster to get away from these people. I opened the door to my office and sigh.I look up and surprise by what I saw. My office was full of flowers. Who did this? Who sends this? Is this why the people outside staring at me?I touch the flowers then smelled it, It smells wonderful, I roam around and check out all the flowers. The smell of it filed the room. I feel like I was in a garden full of flowers. Then I remembered something. Flowers? Filled in a room? I suddenly remember it. In my story Forever the guy filled the bed room of his girlfriend. Different flower everywhere and the smell of it filled the room.Who sends this? Brian? Freddie? I look for a card; in my story the guy put a card in the most beautiful flower. In the middle, was the most beautiful flower, white rose, my favorite!I look for the card and at last, I found it. I opened it and read. Thanks for the wonderful night. I learned that you are such a wonderful girl. I want you to have dinner with me this day. Ill pick you up at 8 oclock sharp. Hope to see you. FreddieI smiled. I feel so wonderful like Im the happiest girl in the world. Right now, I want to go shopping and buy a beautiful dress for our date.That night, I was so happy fixing my hair and applying makeup in the face. I should look beautiful tonight. Then theres a knock on my door. Who is it? I called.Its me, Alicia, my sister answered. Can I come in?Sure, sure, I said.She opened the door and stared at me. Where are you going? Are you going on a date?Its none of your business, I said still now putting mascara in my eyelashes.Who is the guy? she still continues asking questions. Is he rich? Handsome? He sits on my bed and waiting for my answer.Hes a great guy, I answered. Want to meet him? Well, Im afraid that when Freddie sees my sister he will forget all about me and go out with my sister. I cant help it if shes more beautiful than I am. What can I do right? I cant have a plastic surgery to make my face more beautiful than my sisters.I want to meet him, she said. I looked at her thinking why she wants to meet Freddie. Does she want to flirt with him and let him fall in love with her? Does she want to get Freddie away from me?Maybe you could meet him, I said.She smiled and lie on my bed.At 8 oclock, the doorbell rang. Ill get it, my sister called. I heard the door opened but no one called me from my room. Isnt it Freddie? I thought. Its 8 already but he isnt here yet. Did he forget our date? Did he change his mind? When I went to look who it is, I saw Freddie standing at out door way. He wears a beautiful black coat and black pants.I saw Alicia talking to him. Freddie saw me and wave and smile at me. Alicia saw me coming and she went straight to the living room not saying any word. Thatd odd. What happened?Ready? he asks me.Ready, I answered.We went to the fanciest restaurant in the city. Its so nice in there especially when the lights are turned on.I already reserved a table for us, he told me.Excited, huh, I teased.Just want to make this date special because its our first date, he said. He offered me his hand and I took it. I saw our table in the middle of the restaurant. He pulled the chair for me and I sit down. The table was rounded and was covered with white cloth with roses printed on the sides.Heres the menu, the waiter said. He gave us the menu and I started to read. My eyes widened because of the prices. Its so expensive in here.Have you already picked something to eat? he asked me.Not yet, I replied looking at the menu again.All the foods look delicious. I look at the list of courses. Dilled Brie with Smoked Salmon, Chicken Marbella, Prune and Almond Stuffed Pork Loin, Chicken in Grand Marnier, Shrimp Mold, Elegant Mushroom Beef Wellington, Maple Mustard Chicken, Lobster, etc. In the desserts, Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Mascarpone Cheesecake, Lovelight Chocolate Chiffon Cake, Decadent Butterscotch Nut Coffee Cake, Molten Chocolate Cakes, Peaches in Stawberry Cream and. Showy Raspberry Fudge Tarts.I dont what to pick. So? he again asked.I want the chicken in grand marnier, I answered. And for desert molten chocolate cakes.Me, I want the dilled brie with smoked salmon and for desert, let it be like the order of this beautiful lady in front of me, he said looking at me.I smiled at him and gave the menu back to the waiter.Do you like this place, he asked me looking straight at my eyes.I feel like I my body became numb because of that. Yes. Its so warming in here. This place looks nice,Do you like the flowers I gave you this morning? he asked me.Of course. Its so wonderful and sweet. Thank you, I said. I pause for a moment then, Can I ask you something? My heart was pounding. He nodded. Where did you get that idea?Its my own idea, he smiled.I raise my eyebrow. Really?Dont look at me like that, he said. You dont believe me, do you?Maybe, I said smiling. Alright. I believe now.He smiled. What are you doing when youre sad?Me? I go to our rest house. It very nice in there, I said.The food came and it smells delicious. We ate then after he asks me to dance. That night was so wonderful. I never had so much fun in my life.At quarter to 11, we reach my house. I had so much fun, I said. Thank you.Your welcome, he said. He gets out of the car and opened the door for me. Hope to see you tomorrow Paige. Good night.Good night also Freddie, I said. I wave goodbye to him and he gets inside the car and drive away. I had a wonderful sleep that night. I felt so happy and in love? Is this love Im feeling? The following morning, I wear my beautiful red dress. Whats up to you? Alicia asks me when I entered our dining room for breakfast. Had a great night?Yes, I said smiling. I get a bowl and spoon. I opened the refrigerator and pick up the milk. I saw Alicia looking at me. Why is she looking at me like that? I sit and poured milk on my bowl.Can you please pass the cereal? I said.Here, she said. Where did you got last night? You got home really late.We just had dinner, I replied stirring my cereal.Alicia didnt talk for a moment. If you only know, she whispered.Whats that? I ask her. I stared at her. Actually I heard what she says but I dont know what it meant. If only I know? Whats that thing I dont know?Oh, nothing, she said continue eating her cereal.I felt so curious like I want to ask her what it meant. I known Alicia for so long, I know she will not tell me.After a few minutes my mother came in and saw me, Dont you have work today Paige?I have, I answered. Ill just finish eating and Ill leave.At that I quickly eat my cereal. I finished eating and I said goodbye to them. I wish I could see Freddie. I smiled and feel very excited to go to work. Its like going to my job for the first time. I felt so excited.Good morning, the security guard greeted me.Good morning to you too, I greeted back.You look gorgeous today, he said.Thank you, I said to him.I go to my office and in my table was a white card. I picked it up and started reading, I had a great night last night. Can you have lunch with me this afternoon? Ill just pick you up in your office at 11 oclock. If you dont want to have lunch with me, Ill still pick you up. You dont have a choice Theres a smiley in the card. Love, Freddie.I laugh and put the card in my bag. I started working and every minute I was looking at the clock. Why am I so excited? Its just lunch. Its not a date, right? Or is it? I shake my head and get back to work but my mind is not working properly. Im only thinking about Freddie and our lunch together.At 1030 I arrange my self. I retouch my makeup and comb my hair. I look at my reflection and smile. I put all my makeup in my bag and some other things I needed. After a few minutes, theres a knock and Freddie came in. Hi there, he greeted. Ready?Ready. Ill just turn off my computer and arrange some things. Can you wait for me in a second? I ask shutting down my computer and getting my bag.Sure, he said smiling and waited for me to be ready.When Im finished we went out. I was surprise that all the people around us were staring at us. I just looked down. I heard some voices around me. They are gossiping! How could they?!Whats wrong? he asked me.All the people in that room are staring at us, I said softly. I heard some voices and Im sure they are talking about us. What if they start a gossip about us? That will ruin your reputation!Thats alright, he said holding my hand. They are just jealous. I dont care if some gossip started. The important thing is we know that its not true or maybe some of it is true. He smiled so gently to me. I looked at him and I smiled back. He holds my hand more tightly and I hold him back. Im glad Freddie is a nice guy. Im so glad that I met someone like him in my life. The following days were so sweet. All the things he did for me is like the things my characters did in my books. Like when he brought me to a place were all the flowers are arranged neatly to form my name. Its in my book entitled, The white princess. When he gave me a locket where my name is engraved on it, it is in my book entitled, The locket. Also when its about midnight, we were in a field were many trees surrounded it and lights suddenly turned on. It is so beautiful. Its so romantic. There we did our first kiss. At first I dont know what to do because its my first time. But he taught me. He told me I was a fast learner. I just felt so relieve and just enjoy our kiss.We were officially lovers that day. We do what normal couples do. All the people in the company know about it. And Im afraid if the President will agree with it.Wait for me in the living room, I said to Freddie. We were about to go on an art gallery. He told me he wants to show me some arts he loves. Freddie is an art guy. He is a great painter.Alright, he said smiling. He walks straight to the living room and I go to my room to change. I didnt take a long time to change and fix myself. When I got back I saw Freddie and Alicia talking to each other seriously. What are they talking about? I didnt enter the room and I hope to hear some words they are talking but I couldnt hear a thing. I sighed and entered the room slowly. They saw me and shock can see in my sisters face.She didnt say a word and she just leave the room. Well, thats odd. I looked at Freddie but he just smiled at me. I just leave it alone. I dont want to talk about it. And I think its nothing important.The art gallery for me is quite boring. I got no interest in art but Freddie does. Well, what can I do? The art he showed me is interesting. I never thought a painter could paint such a realistic drawing. Freddie asks me to pose for him because he wants to paint me. Im so excited because its Freddie whose painting my picture.I was so tired of smiling and when he signals to me that he is finished he showed me his drawing. Oh my God! Its beautiful, I said. The drawing is so realistic that it looks alive.Do you think so? he asks.Of course, I said.Because I thought my drawing is not as beautiful as you he said picking up the canvas.I blushed and he hugged me. Do you want to keep it? he asks me.Can I? I said.Sure you can, he said smiling.Oh thank you so much, I said getting the canvas from him. Ill treasure it.He kissed my cheeks and then I kiss his lips. Well, thats not equal, he said his eyebrow raise. He smiled and kissed me passionately. Some days after, we were just finished eating our lunch when father called me. I need to go now, Paige, I said. My father is calling me. Maybe its something important. I think its business.Oh. Alright, Paige said.We finished our food and we returned to the building. I immediately went to my fathers office. Father is not calling me this time of day. Maybe its really important. I knocked and I heard my father said, Come in.Why are you calling me? I asked. Is there any problem?Is it true about you and Ms. Paige McLeish? my father asked me.I stared at him and said, Yes.Are you out of your mind?! he half shouted. You are engaged and the engagement party is in three days. Did you tell that girl you are engaged?Yes I did, I said. I forgot that I was already engaged and I can assure Paige also forget about it. I havent mention to her that its in three days.So, what did she say? he asked.I didnt answer. You break out with that girl. Did you hear me? Break up with her, my father ordered.I cant father, I said my voice so confident.You cant? Why? You love her?! Are you sure you love her? You love your fiancà and thats final, father said. If you cant break up with her I will move the engagement party in two days. And she will lose her job and she will never get any job anymore. I will make her life miserable. Now go!I was shocked. I dont know what to say. I felt angry and scared. I just nodded and leave the room. I felt so disappointed. I dont know what to do now. How can I break up with Paige if I love her so much? And the engagement, I am doing things to stop it. Father is so powerful that Im afraid he will hurt my Paige. What should I do? Whats the best thing I could do? Freddie was really different after he talked with his father. I was so worried to what her father said to him.Are you alright? I asked him. Im worried Freddie.He looked at me and he put his hands on my face. You know that I love you so much Paige.I know that, I said.And you know that I will do anything for you. That I will sacrifice anything just to make you happy and make your life wonderful. That I will not let anybody hrt you. he continues.What are you up to? Why are you like that? I asked my heart pounding. I feel so weak like something bad is going to happen.Please tell me you love me, he said.I love you so much. I love you with all my heart, I said.He smiled weakly and then he said, The engagement party “ I “ we need to break up. I know you already forgotten that Im engage and I too forgot about it. Because of you Paige I forget all about it. Our love for each other is more important than anything.My eyes widened and tears were leaking in my face. Please dont cry, he said. Please Paige. I dont want to see you cry. His eyes were so soft that I cried much harder.I pushed his hand away and shouted, You love me, huh? Are you making fun of me? I dont believe that you love. If you do, you will do anything for me. You will break that engagement and be with me. How could you?! I cant believe you break up with me because of your engagement. I thought you are not engage anymore! I hate you!Please let me explain, Paige, he said softly. Theres a good reason why we need to break up.Dont say another word, I said shouting. I dont believe in anything you say or will youre a liar. Goodbye Mr. Rick.I walked away and he didnt follow me. He just shouted, Please believe me Paige. I love you so much.At that, my tears were nonstop. I cant believe Freddie will do that to me. I cant believe I believe his words that I am the only one who he loves. I thought he is not engage anymore. I will not accept him if he told me he is still engage. Im so stupid! Why do I love him so much? Now I cant stop the pain Im feeling. It really hurts. My heart is in pain. Thats why I dont want to fall in love. I dont want to feel this. I dont want to feel this pain. That night, Brain visited me. My sister called him because she saw me when I go home. My eyes were so red and swollen from crying. Are you alright? he asked me.He sits in my bed beside me and he looked at me. I was in bed feeling so sick. I dont feel good. My voice is shaking when I answered him, Do I look alright?No, he answered honestly. You dont need to be like that. Where is the Paige I know? The strong Paige I love “ back then. My friend Paige? Did she just disappear because someone hurt her feelings? You dont know what you are saying. Do you know what I felt? Do you know how much pain I felt right now? Tell me! I said starting to cry again.Brian pauses for a moment looking at me. Thats love Paige. When you are in love you experience being hurt. Thats normal. You cant stop that pain I know. Like what happened to me back then, I also experience being hurt by someone I love. He said.What happened to you? I ask him.When you didnt accept me, he said. Well. It really hurts you know. I drink and drink but at that experience I became strong. I learned that being in love is about being hurt and also being love by someone that deserve my love. I didnt say that you need to drink and drink too. Im just saying be strong and that pain will disappear.Does it really hurt so badly? I ask him.Yeah, he said. Change topic. I dont want to talk about my love life.I laughed. I heard him sigh and he said. Im glad to hear you laugh. Get up and we will have fun. Ill teat you to Wonder Land.In Wonder Land? You have a ticket? I asked.Luckily a while ago my raffle ticket won and I won two tickets in Wonder Land, he said. Are you coming or not? If not, Ill just ask your sister to go with me. He stands up and waved at me.Im coming, I said immediately sitting up.He smiled at me. Get up and change. Ill be outside your room, he said. He left my room and I get up and changed my clothes.Brian is so kind. Why didnt I love him before? I feel that he still loves me. Cant I love him? Cant I learn to love him? Can I teach my heart to love Brian or someone else?When we arrive at Wonder Land we try all the rides. The roller coaster, space mountain, the haunted house, carousel, and much more. At the haunted house I was laughing so hard because Brian is a so scared. I cant believe a guy like him is scared of ghost. We tried the Ferris wheel last. Inside we talk.Did you enjoy? he ask me. We sit beside each other and I enjoy the view outside.Of course I did, I said smiling. For some moments I forget Freddie. I think I need to have fun to forget him. Thank you.No need to thank me, he said. Youre a special friend to me. I dont want you to feel sad. I dont want to see you sad. It hurts my feeling you know.Do you still love me? I ask him.He looked at me and said, Of course I do. Its not just snap my finger and my love for you is gone. His face was blushing. I smiled.Hope I can love you. Hope I can repay your love for me, I said.You dont need to love me back. I know its hard to love someone else especially if theres already a person in your heart, he said. You cant teach your heart to love someone else. You will feel the pain much more if you tried to love someone else. Time to time, you will somehow forget your feelings for him. But sometimes it takes years to forget someone especially if he became a really important part of your life.I smiled to him. Thank you for being such a good friend, I said.He smiled still blushing. I laughed and teased him, Why is our face as red as a tomato?Its just that, you know, a guy like me talking about love, he said not looking at me.You should be doctor love, I teased.He laughed and after a few minutes our ride is over. I felt to relief and we decided to go home. The day of the engagement party, I wore a pretty pink dress. I was surprise that when I woke up my parents and sister isnt at home. Where had they gone to? They didnt wake me up or just leave a message to me. Where are they?Brain picked me up a few minutes after. Youre gorgeous, he compliments me.Thank you for the compliment, I said.We went to the party and saw that the whole building was decorated. How romantic? I said feeling slightly hurt. This party is really arranged.Have you seen the girl? Freddies fiancÃ? Brian asks me.Not yet. I can assure that she is really beautiful. I am nothing compared to that girl, I said feeling weak.You are the most beautiful girl for me, Brian told me.I smiled at him and we went to find out table. After a few minutes, the party started. Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. Were here to celebrate the engagement of two young couples, the host started. Both are handsome and beautiful. They are a son and daughter of a wealthy family. Let me present to you ladies and gentlemen Mr. Freddie Rick and Ms. Alicia McLeish.Theres applause and my eyes widened. Alicia McLeish? My sister Alicia? I looked up and saw Freddie with my sister Alicia on stage. Brian was looking at me his eyes were widened with shock too. I cant believe its Alicia who is Freddies fiancÃ. When? How? Why didnt they tell me? How could they? Freddie knows that Alicia is my sister, why didnt he tell me? And Alicia, I cant believe it. My own sister? She knows that Freddie and I were couples. Why didnt she tell me? Is that why when I entered the room and the two of them were talking they stopped when they saw me? Does Freddie just come into my life just to be close to my sister? So that he could see what my sister is like? Are they seeing each other behind my back?In the stage, Freddie and Alicia were smiling and now hand shaking with the president and some other important person. I dont want to see them. I dont want to see anyone!I ran outside and called a taxi. I dont care if those people talk about me or think anything bad about me. I dont care with anything anymore. I want to leave. To leave those people who betrayed me. I went to our familys rest house near the Port Lake. The place is so creepy because of so many trees. The taxi didnt want to go farther because the road in there is slippery. I paid the taxi and just walk.I need a place where I can rest. Where no one will talk to me and hurt me. I want to be alone! I stayed in there for a long time. No one is looking for me. Only my family and well, I mention this to Freddie but he doesnt know where this is and Im sure he isnt looking for me. He must be having a great time in that party. And Im here, all alone crying for him!The rain is pouring so hard outside. I heard a loud bang just near here. Whats that? Is that a thunder? I look outside but I cant see anything. Its so dark.The party must have ended right now. Its so dark outside. Rain was pouring in the window and the thunder is scaring me. I wish someone could be with me. I wish “ I wish Freddie is here with me.I started to cry. Why did I love him? He just played with my heart! I cant believe I bought it. I cant believe I love him. But he showed me what love is. How to be loved? It just hurts so much.The door burst open and I saw Alicia so wet because of the rain. She was catching her breath.Why are you here?! Leave me alone! I shouted. Get out! I dont want to see you! If you dont get out Im the one who will leave!I looked at her still catching her breath. Paige, Im really sorry for not telling you, Alicia said. We need to go. You must go with me.No! I shouted.Paige, Freddie , she started. Her eyes were red, she must be crying.What happened to Freddie? I said my voice suddenly became worried.His car hit a tree just near here. I dont know what happened but he is in the hospital right now, Alicia said. We must go now.I dont know what to think. Freddie is in the hospital? I just want to see him. I want to see if hes alright. He “ he went to look for me! He wants to see me! That loud sound I heard. Its Freddie?! We arrive at the hospital a few minutes after. I was still weak because of what I heard about Freddie. I dont want to lose him. I dont want him to die because of me. I want to see him. Spend my life with him.He was still at the operating room. I was praying so hard to let the operation be successful and let Freddie be alright. The operation takes a long time. Its about an hour when the doctor came out.Doctor? I heard a woman say. It must be Freddies mother.Hes alright now, the doctor said. He lost so many bloods and I need a donor for him. His left arm is broken but it will be fine in about a month.I heard a sigh of relief from the people in there. Im so happy that Freddie is alright. But “ its my entire fault Freddie was here. If I just listen to what he wants to say that day. If I just listen to his explanation, he will not get an accident. Its all my fault!I will donate my blood doctor, I heard Freddies mother says. Im his mother after all. We have the same type of blood.Alright then, the doctor said. Come with me. I look at them getting inside the room.Sis? I said to Alicia. I need to get out from here. I need to leave.Why? she asked. We went in the corner where nobody would hear us.Its all my fault, Alicia, I said crying. Freddie is here because of me. I was the one who should be blame for this. Its all my fault.Its not your fault, Paige, my sister said softly. Its Freddies decision to come to you. You know what happened in the engagement party? He said to all those people in there who he really loves and who he wants to spend his life with. He said you name Paige. He said your name. He talked to Brian and asks where you had gone to. He said you must be in our rest house. Im the one who told him where that is.Freddie loves me? I asked. He really loves me?Of course he does, my sister said. Im the one who told him not to tell you that we are engaged. He told me he was planning things to stop our engagement. But you know what his father is like. Hes so cruel and powerful!Why would you not tell me? I said.I dont want to hurt your feelings. I thought our engagement will break and you will not know anything about it, Alicia explained. I dont want you to be hurt. And Freddie doesnt want to hurt you also. He told me he loves you so much. I can feel that his love for you is real Paige. And I know you felt it too.I smiled and hug her. Thank you sis, I said.I heard someone call my name and I turned around to see everyone was looking at me. Paige? the doctor called.Im Paige, doctor, I said walking toward him.Mr. Freddie wants to talk to you, he said.I looked at my sister and she signals a thumbs up. I smiled at her. I nodded at the doctor and go inside the room.I saw Freddie sitting up. Hey! You should lie down, I said. I walk forward and stopped a few inches from his bed.His face was still handsome even though there are wounds in there. In his left cheek were stitches. His left arm is bandaged. Im sorry, I cried. Its all my fault that you are here. If you didnt come after me, you will not get an accident.Shh, dont say sorry to me, he said smiling. Come closer.I walk step by step. His right arm pulled me and he hugged me tightly. Dont ever leave me Paige, he said. I cant let you leave me again.I hugged him back. I will never leave you. I will die if I live you. I can live without you in my life.He explained to me everything. Why he breaks up with me, what his father told him, what he planned to stop the engagement, everything!Lets not talk about it, I said. The important thing right now is that were okay and your okay.He hugged me more tightly. This is not a romantic spot but Paige, will you marry me? he asked me.I looked at him my eyes widened. You dont have a ring, I smiled. He looked at me curiously. Im just joking. Ill marry you Freddie Rick.I love you so much Paige, he said. I want to spend my whole life with you.I love you too, I said. Thanks for making me happy. Ive known so many guys but you are the only one who makes my heart beat. You are the one who I want to spend my life with. The one I cant live without. Thanks for being a perfect man for me. I never thought I will meet a guy so perfect like my characters in my book. I never thought they would all exist in you. Thank you for being the one.I just remembered something. The things you did? Is that really your idea?He laughed. No, he said. Remember that my sister is reading your books? I ask her to tell me everything that the leading man does to his love one.I smiled at him. He started kissing me. I love you Paige, he said. He didnt let me speak because he started kissing me and I cant just speak because of his kiss. Freddies father has accepted me as Freddies fiancÃ. He said sorry to me and I accept her apology. Before we got married, its Alicias wedding first. She met a rich guy in one of her seminars. They were prefect for each other. Im so happy that Alicia met the perfect guy for him. Brian also met a girl when he had his vacation. They were lovers for so long now. He told me he will propose to her and ask some advices what to do. I told him he should make it so romantic. His own idea of romance.Freddie and I got married after about 2 years. All of our family and relatives attended our wedding. I wrote a book entitled Perfect. Its mine and Freddies love story. I wrote everything what happened to us. When I wrote that book everything seems so perfect. For me, Freddie is a perfect guy for me. Not as perfect as my other characters but more perfect than those. He is the one for me. The perfect man for me
