Love came into my life so quietly that I didn’t even realize it at first.
I always knew that the boy liked me, but the day he finally gathered the courage to propose, I became nervous.
I didn’t know what to do or how to react.
In confusion, I told his sister about it.
Maybe she told everything at home.
And after that… everything changed.
Everything Suddenly Became Different
He stopped looking at me.
No more smiling on the way,
no playful teasing,
no small hints.
It felt like he had removed me completely from his world.
At first, I thought it was normal…
but a few days later, an unknown restlessness started growing inside me.
Maybe I had made a mistake.
Maybe I was losing him.
Whenever I saw him, he would look away and turn into another street.
As if I meant nothing to him now.
His silence and distance started hurting me more than I expected.
The Pain of Seeing Him with Someone Else
For a few days, he didn’t appear anywhere.
Weeks passed, and when I finally saw him again…
my heart skipped a beat.
But this heartbeat wasn’t happiness.
It was pain.
He was walking in a park with another girl—
smiling, laughing, enjoying.
He had moved on.
A wave of anger came inside me…
but the anger was more towards myself.
I froze when I saw his smile with someone else.
It felt like part of me broke quietly.
And then… he noticed me.
He stopped for a moment and walked toward me.
The Truth Comes Out
“Listen… that girl is just a good friend,” he said quickly,
as if I was about to judge him.
“Please don’t misunderstand.
And this time… please don’t tell my sister anything.
Last time I got scolded a lot.”
I narrowed my eyes and asked,
“Are you telling the truth?”
He nodded immediately.
“Yes, absolutely.”
He was about to leave when I suddenly gathered a little courage and said:
“If you tell me something again…
I won’t tell your sister this time.”
He looked at me with a confused expression,
trying to understand what I meant.
It took that idiot a few seconds…
but when he finally understood,
the smile on his face was priceless.
He stopped, looked into my eyes,
and whispered,
“Really?”
I lowered my gaze and nodded softly.
Even I couldn’t understand why I said that.
Feelings That Couldn’t Stay Hidden Now
He moved a little closer.
“So… if I say something now,
you won’t complain?”
There was mischief in his eyes,
but also a small spark of hope.
“Yes,” I said quietly,
“I won’t tell your sister this time.”
He laughed.
“Oh! So no more complaints?
But why? What changed now?”
I didn’t answer.
I just smiled a little.
He waited…
maybe hoping to hear the words that I still couldn’t say out loud.
Then he softly asked,
“So… can I tell you something now?”
My heart started beating faster.
Words refused to come out.
“Say something,” he whispered again.
I took a deep breath,
gathered all the courage inside me,
and smiled gently.
“If you say it again…
maybe this time you’ll get an answer.”
I said that and walked away.
But the shine in his eyes had returned.
