FIND ME: A LOVE THROUGH ETERNITY

She is happy when she is with the young man. They do not run out of things to talk about. But there are also times when they are both able to enjoy the silence of the surroundings when they are together.

”LET’S go?” Ara when she got out of the library and found Daniel talking to Jason.

”I’m starting to get jealous. You guys are the ones who always eat together,” said Jason who was then on duty at the baggage counter.

Ara laughed softly. ”Blame the one who made our schedule,” she said.

Jason just nodded then let out a weak laugh. ”All right, I’ll just text Jenny. I’ll ask her if she can have lunch with me,” he said.

It was then that Ara and Daniel exchanged meaningful looks. And when she couldn’t stand it, Ara spoke again.

”Are you guys dating?” she asked with a mixture of teasing in her voice.

“No! And where did that idea of yours come from? ” Jason’s quick answer.

Ara’s beautiful eyebrows rose as her best friend answered her.

”You’re both my best friends so don’t play with her feelings because I will definitely be mad at you. See this?” she said then showed Jason her fist.

Jason just laughed at what she did. ”Jenny is my friend too, so I can’t definitely do to her as you say,” he assured her.

”It simply came to our notice then. But in case you want to date her you need to know that she is the type who needs to take seriously. Beautiful, kind, and very intelligent, what more could you ask for?”

That’s true and she doesn’t say all that just to build up Jenny with Jason because she found out Jenny’s feelings for him. But because that is the truth.

“Stop it, Jenny is still young. If I have any feelings for her, it’s like how an older brother feels about his youngest sister. I am an only child remember?” Jason explained.

”Oh really?”

”Dude, please get that woman out of here, she really has the power to tease,” Jason finally told Daniel.

Daniel just laughed at what Jason said. ”Let’s go,” he told her.

”All right,” Ara replied. ”Bye!” her meaningful farewell to Jason.

”See you later, my goodness you’re such a bully!” Jason said while laughing.

”Tsk, just like what I told you, she’s my best friend!” she teases for the last time before turning her back on Jason.

”WHAT are you doing?” Daniel asked her with amusement as they walked towards the university canteen.

Ara giggled and then looked up at Daniel. ”Aren’t they something?”

“Jason to Jenny? Is that what you mean? ” he asked her while frowning.

“Who else? You know I want them to stay together?” that is true within her. And she is happy that there is a Daniel she could tell things about these.

”So you are a matchmaker now?” he asked chuckling.

Ara’s eyes rolled. ”I can’t tell you what I know,” she said.

”Why not? I’m not talkative,” Daniel told her.

Ara thought deeply. “Promise? You will not tell anyone about it if I tell you?”

Daniel nodded. ”Of course, your trust is the most important thing to me, if you know what I mean?” the young man added.

Ara seems to want to give a different meaning to what Daniel said. But because she did not want to see any reason to finally hope that they have the same feelings, she quickly let it out of her mind.

”What?” Daniel asked her as she remained silent.

”What if I ask you to help me?” suddenly an idea formed in her mind.

”How can I help you if I don’t know what you are talking about?”

Ara bit her lower lip because of Daniel’s response to her question. She seems to have no choice. Anyway, she trusts the young man so she thinks she will not speak to anyone about it.

”I can trust you, right?” she asked after a while.

”You can trust me with your life,” Daniel assured.

Then Ara stopped walking so the young man did the same. ”Come I’ll whisper it to you,” she said, signaling Daniel.

Because of that, Daniel bowed to her and then brought his ear closer to her.

”What do you think?” she asked with a smile.

Daniel shrugged. ”I will try.”

”Do you know something much better?”

As he remained to gaze at her, that was when the corner of Daniel’s lips rose. There was a strange gleam in his eyes that caused her heart to beat faster.

”I’ll tell you later,” he said laughing and then pinched her chin slightly. ”But for now, let’s eat first,” he said as he put his arm around her shoulder and then guided her towards the canteen.

That simple gesture had a quick effect on Ara. She could not understand but she always felt this way every time they touch. Or maybe she knows why but because she does not want to hope she is trying to ignore it.
