Chapter 12

Declarations

When I saw you, I was afraid to look at you. When I looked at you, I was afraid to touch you. When I touched you, I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you.
-Anomymous

Two men standing arrogantly in front of the door way, trying to kill each other through dangerous stares and daggering looks, definitely a disastrous scene.

“Stay away from her.” His disdain failed to hide the hopelessness he felt.

“You can’t dictate, Vic!” His voice was raging with anger as he answered

Alan couldn’t believe that Vic went all the way to his house just to lay this mocking request upon his feet. He wasn’t even aware if he was trying to beg or threaten him with that tone of his. But, Vic’s arrival made him realize something- A difficult and heart- wrenching rivalry is bound to explode anytime soon.

“Look..” Vic tried to calm his voice as he continued. “ I know it’s improper for me to stop you from liking her, but I’m draining all my pride if that means I can keep her for the rest of my life..” His eyes overflowing with sincerity as he explained.

“Are you not confident of yourself?” Alan questioned boldly

“I have no right to feel confident at all..I broke her heart once but all I’m asking for is a chance to prove myself again..”

Vic’s confession made Alan doubt his decision of pursuing Barbie. God knows he really pitied the man. But somehow, he can’t just force himself to give up the woman whom he admired for quite sometime now. Who knows what the future holds? Barbie may learn to like him too as time passes by. At least that’s what he thinks. He can’t just back off this time, much to Vic’s agony. If he likes someone, he knows that waiting and giving up easily won’t get you anywhere. And he hated regrets, what if’s and would have been’s those kinds of self-reproach.

“Please don’t underestimate my feelings for her, Vic..Why don’t we let Barbie decide for herself?”

Vic immediately got his point as he turned to leave the house after his brave declaration

“May the best man win..”

Alan exhaled deeply as if he won’t have the chance to exhale anymore. He grabbed his chest so as to feel the unusual racing of his heartbeat. Did he just started a war with the most handsome man in all of Taiwan’s boundaries? Now he can surely spell the word C-R-A-Z-Y.

He walked to the spacious living room and sat heavily on the couch, thinking of all the possible strategies to win her heart.

“I have to let her know my feelings first..” He thought as he dialled Barbie’s number on her celphone.

“Barbie, are you in GTV? Okay. Meet me at studio 4 tonight. I have something to tell you.” He hanged up and went straight to the piano. This is the performance of his life.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The studio was completely and utterly dark when she arrived. Barbie had no idea why he would ask her to meet in this place.

“He’s not planning to ghost hunt, is he?” She thought as he fumbled for her celphone to lighten up her way.

“Xiao Zhu? Are you here?..”

As if on cue, the spotlight radiated a romantic mood towards the stage where Alan was standing handsomely in his tuxedo bearing the cutest smile his face could ever flash.

Barbie didn’t know why, but she felt overly nervous the moment she laid her eyes on him

“Oh Please don’t tell me you’re gonna profess you’re undying love..” She chuckled half-heartedly

Alan blushed like a red tomato as he sitted charmingly in front of the piano and started playing the most romantic song he ever knew

Love At the Corner

In disguise and unknown by you, I wish to be by your side.
Silently accompanying you as you gaze upon the sky.
Riding on a motorcylce, moving onwards.
At a certain junction, I’d be lovingly waiting for you.

Moving forward, I’ll not look back anymore,
Your smiling face in my memory, is slowly striking at my keyboards.
I cannot bear to let you be lonely.
I am one who loves you, and my heart is constantly thinking about you.

I’m no longer scrambling to hide my feelings, I’m not going to worry about the consequence, and assume that there would be a future for us.
What would you say? I’ve always wanted to tell you my feelings, to stop happiness from slipping away.
At the next junction, you will see love, and gain a beautiful smile.

Love turns around the corner, and whom did it meet? Does it have anything to do with the beauty of love?
The street after love has turned a corner, can I accompany you there?

Love turns around the corner, and whom did it meet? Is he able to prevent you from ever crying?
Perhaps starting from strangers we can get to know each other, let me be your man.
I wouldn’t let tears be cried because of love, and I wouldn’t let you cry.
Now and forever, you are mine, you are my beauty.

Alan continued playing as the harmony of the music constantly filled the studio.

“Barbie, I always knew that you are one special woman. But, I’ve decided to restrain myself and admire you only from afar only because I thought that he won’t make you cry, only because I thought it’s impossible for you to turn your back on him and look my way..but I guess I thought wrongly. I can’t guarantee anything.. I can’t assure you that I’m the better man but there’s something I’m sure of..I’ll take care of you..until you open your heart for me and give me a chance..”

After hearing the last word of his confession, Barbie absent-mindedly wiped the tears falling from her eyes. With every lyric he sang, with every note he played, she hated herself even more. It would have been perfect if she could forget Vic and start over with Alan. It would have been perfect if she could teach her heart to let go. It would have been perfect..only if she could.
