I have never experience loving someone special in my life for the past twenty-two years. It makes me fell dejected whenever I see friends showing off their love stories through social media. Life took a turn when I get to know a girl at university named C.
It started when we took a same subject during my second semester. We never get to know each other as she was one year my senior. During my second year, she became the only person I could share my problems with during the ride in the university's bus as my friends drifted away from me when I switched from taking Pure Chemistry to Chemical Engineering.
Every morning, I would wait for the bus at 8am to coincide with her and we would start with casual chats during the 15 minutes ride. Most of the time I would speak of my own personal problems and she will listen attentively and provides me with solutions. This went on for two semester and always put a smile back on my face after sharing my problems with her.
I had an extra ticket when Maroon 5 performed live in Malaysia. I tried to invite her along as she had indicated her interest in attending music concerts. To my dismay, she rejected me with the excuse of having lots of assignments to hand up at the end of the week. I accepted her excuse and even sold off my pair of tickets in disappointment.
This was my most awkward moment in my life as I never have the courage to ask a girl out on a date. Though we are still occasionally chat on facebook, I still few shy to face her and board the earliest bus in order not to bump onto her in campus. From this incident, I have learnt to be smart in my next attempt to chase after a girl by waiting for the right opportunity before all the efforts put in previously were ruined.
