The past

Are you one of those who like to avoid people who always pay attention to you? You think you're just being tripped up because you're so quiet? Well, I have that kind of attitude. I am too aloof to make friends of anyone. I'm not that friendly, but I assure you that I'm not a bad person.

Anyway, I suddenly remembered someone who never get tired of greeting me before. It was to late before I realized that he was actually flirting with me then, it's been so many years haha. I just laugh as I remembered it. Hmm I just want to tell my story here, so let me relive the past haha.

There was one person who always paid attention to me almost my entire high school life. He used to be popular at school because of his talent, he sang and danced well. In fact they formed a group of dancers. Their group became famous here in our City before. Because he's famous, I always think he's arrogant.

He is in the same batch as my brother. They are two years ahead of me, meaning I am in my first year, they are in their third year. He doesn't know my name so he calls me by my last name. He said that his batchmate looked so much like me, he assumed that it was my brother. When he found out that it was actually my brother, from then on he always called me by my last name.

From my first year until he graduated from high school, he never got tired of greeting me whenever he saw me, but I never made friends with him. I am not comfortable to make friends especially to boys. I only have two girl friends back then.

I was in my third year and he had finished high school. But during my two years left in high school, he still didn't stop paying attention to me. Every time I pass by him, he always calls me. I just noticed, he was really looking forward to the time we went home. He always waits for us to pass by.

After I graduated high school, I just found out that he didn't go to college anymore. I met him when I was in college, but he seemed too shy to greet me. Because I'm more shy, I didn't greet him either. I didn't even bother to find out about him because I felt like he didn't want to talk to me anymore.

They had a group chat with their batch mates, including my brother. My brother said they were planning to have a reunion but it didn't happen. They have their own priorities so even the reunion ended up being just a plan.

In 2018, my brother left us. And since my brother died, I also completely lost updates on his batch mates, especially about him.

But I am very grateful to my brother's batch mates because during the time he was confined, they all contributed to our hospital expenses. They all reached out to help us.

That's it for now. Its already 12:56AM here. It's time to say good night or good mornight. ☺️

Thank you for reading.
