“I’ll do it just to help a friend… nothing more” Hebe repeatedly told herself
Show was in his usual gloomy state when he noticed a fold-up note on his table, looking up, he saw the back of Hebe who was walking out of class. He immediately unwrapped it, and looked at the contents, his heart was beating at a immense pace, his heart was literally in his mouth, as he struggled to make sense of the words.
“Show, Being a friend, I would like to know what you are thinking, Selina and Ella have already spoken to me, I would like to talk to you face to face, meet me at the garden bench beside the school pond now.
- Hebe “
Show immediately stood up from his desk, ignoring concerned looks from Jay and LH, and walked over to the teacher’s desk to excuse himself. By the looks on his face, the teacher knew that Show had to settle something important, hence, excusing Show, with a glint in the teacher’s eye, he whispered.
“Show, settle everything you need to settle. Don’t be sad anymore!”
Show dug deep to his inner self and forced out a genuine smile.
He rushed over to the garden bench, and saw Hebe bending down in the walkway, waiting for him, Show paced uneasily towards Hebe. Other than than silent gushing of water in the distance, the place was eerily quiet in the day. The smell of fresh flowers was wafting through the air, as both parties present seek to break the ice between them, and restore what was originally a dear friendship for both of them.
As Show paced every closer to Hebe, who was still whiffing in the enticing fragrance of the flowers.
“Hebe…”
Hebe turned, and came face to face with Show. The expressionless look on Show’s face stirred Hebe.
“Show…”
Show looked up expectantly, for a desirable answer, at least an explanation.
“I don’t know what happened before I went into a coma.”
*a slight pause
“And I don’t want to know.”
Show was taken aback, and for the first time in his teen years, had he feel that tears were being brought on, his heart was wrenched, cracks appearing on the surface, as if it could shatter in a instant, gone with the wind.
“You know, ever since I woken up from my coma, I feel that you guys are a bunch of great people! The smiles you all gave me, the happiness I received, everything. I would really like to thank you all. But… why.”
“Hebe, you listen. I don’t want to suppress my feelings anymore. Ever since the first day I picked you up in my taxi, I’ve always felt a certain affinity between us. That day in the coffee shop, do you remember? We talked about our secondary school days? I was even mistaken for your boyfriend by your family? That was one of the happiest days in my life. Those days I spent working with you in Café Cartel was one of the most complete days of my life.”
Suddenly, all her memories came back to her, the time she spent chatting together with Show, all the laughter, the carefree feeling she had with him, was returning. It was like a relentless torrent of feelings. Wave after wave, emotions gripped her, it was though the emotions had a hint of sadism, giving her totally no rest, as feeling after feeling came.
“Show I…”
“Do you remember what you last said before you fell unconscious?”
Hebe shook her head silently.
“You said…” Show’s voice with quivering with emotions.
“I'm feeling very cold.. can.. i hold you tighter?”
“oh.. this is what love feels like”
“I'm sorry.. Show.. if there is a chance.. can.. we.. be.. togeth…”
I never forgot what you said that day, I cherished it till now. Do you not share the same sentiments?
“I…”
“Hebe.. you mean what you said that day was all false? It was all a sham?”
“Show… I…”
Hebe was still hesistating to what to say, when Show stepped forward to embrace Hebe in a hug. Hebe tried to push Show away, Show closed his eyes, as a big drop of tear rolled down his cheeks, as his silent wish of being accepted hanged in the balance.
A slight pause.
Hebe’s hand wrapped itself over Show’s waist, as Hebe’s face bore the expression that of a very touched and emotional person, given Hebe’s headstrong character, she could not force any tears to roll down. As they both just stood there, a moment frozen in time, experiencing a love that would be trialed. In time to come.
All of a sudden, there were clapping from all around. The pond was surrounded by classmates and school mates, who were witnessing the love declaration. Was it? From the crowd, 4 figures stood out.
“Well, Hebe… I never knew you all shared such a past…” Ella smirked
“You kept it from me again!” Selina added
“I…”
“Its ok… no issue!” Ella replied giving a reassuring smile.
“Like the set-up?” Selina gave a wink
“What? No wonder! It was a set-up? No wonder it was so quiet!” Hebe cursed.
“Well…”
“Show, Congrats, I hope you can start smiling more again!” Jay said as he came over to pat Show on his shoulder.
“Yeah man, Show.. it was totally not you this past few weeks. I hope you can revert back to your old self! Lets play some basketball!”
“thanks you for your concern! Im so sorry to cause you all feel worried…”
“Who was worried?” Jay replied
“Self-Obssessive” LH added.
“Okok. Thanks anyway. I will smile more!” Show declared, giving a smile.
With that, the crowd scattered, with the group of 6, going back to the coffeeshop where it all begun, to reorganize their thoughts and feelings.
Everything was normal once again, as everyone was back to their normal self, with the guys playing basketball and chilling out with each other, and the girls heading over to Hebe’s house for their usual chill out session. Time was against them, as the exams, were slowly sneaking up on them. Second by second.
