Sometimes my eyes just stare at your face. Nothing in common, it just feels so right admiring you. Beautiful and loveable. And in a moment, a glance of your eyes stole my world. I just can't hold it. Words written here aren't enough to describe you. More than words to tell our story.
On my first days of college, my senior on senior high school asked me to join a community of debating in English language since I was a debater back on high school. Just on few meetings, I joined the debate society and became a member of it. It was an ordinary story just until I was on the debate practice and I saw a girl. She looked vicious. Black-haired, not too tall, not too short, she got my attention. It went just normally, but it took's several meetings until I had a crush with her.
On the end of September 2012, I started to build efforts to take her attention. She was from a different faculty, moreover she was my senior 1 year above. It seems impossible to make a relationship happen, yet it burned me over to get her. Once each week to see her, every Wednesday was always a day waited to see her. When it comes to that day, I did any efforts I can to get her attention and be with her, including taking her back home even though she rejected many times due her dad already picks her up. About 3 hours every week to do anything, It wasn't visible even to get closer
It needed a bold heart to keep the struggle on. Soon I managed to get her number by chatting her, and things become much more easier. Finally on 21 December 2012, a day before Doomsday (based on maya fortune reading) I had a chat with her. On that evening around 5 PM, I told her my feelings. She was shocked, and I was afraid of what I done. It needs a gamble weather she would still accept me or reject me. Gladly, things went well and we became closer and closer. Moreover She and I was about to attend a debate competition and needs practice everyday for that massive event. I was so happy because I can see her everyday drawing towards the competition.
On 11 January 2013, She and I and also several friends of debaters attend the competition that was held in Bandung. The competition was hard and memorable. But the most memorable thing was on 14 January 2013, it was her birthday. I brought a present from Salatiga to Bandung in my bag for her special day. The present had 3 parts; a dog-doll, a blue-hairpin, and a letter. On the night of her birthday, I gave her the present and confess her. That day, on 14 January 2013 She became my first girl friend for 17 years. It was a special day for her due her birthday, and also for me. We was having our relationship with having trust on our foundation, it was sweet. The day ended by naming the dog, He was named Russell van Klinken. Russell was from her that means red-haired that was an American and Latin baby boy name, and klinken was from me that means sound.
The rest of the competition that was held in Bandung took 5 days, and I spent a lot of time with her. It was no longer She and I, it was Us. Our first date was on Dago, Bandung. We walked down the street enjoying Bandung city, it was priceless. Soon the competition ended, and we went back to Salatiga.
It was the start of having a relationship, it was harder than I thought. Many things happen and many problems came too. There were times when police always go after us, when I got jealous for her ex-boyfriends, when I was on a badmood and she was on her period, when we had our misunderstanding and keep arguing, when we walked and put our arms together side by side, when we both sing together, when we both hugged each other, when we keep on standing with our ego and blaming each other, when we annoy each other, when we were debating on a practice, when one of us got sick, when we both 'toyor' our faces each other, when we praise each other, when we do 'gombal', when we both blush, when we stare each other, and many memories happen on the relationship.
Today Russell is 73 days old or 2 and a half month. It's still young, but I noticed many new things from her. It made the feeling deeper inside. I'm so thankful for having her on my life. I loved her so much, I just want this relation stands once for all. I love her right now that is better than yesterday, and I'll give her much deeper until there's no tomorrow. The first thing I think is her on the morning, and on night before I sleep I pray for her. It's just too much feeling inside that I can't show and describe with words here.
One day, I'll grow older and older, so soon when that time comes, this little note would be a reminder of my first true love for a girl name Dewi Ratoja or usually called Tora. Right now, I don't have any idea what would happen in the future to this relationship, but I hope so much for this relationship. We would have hard times, harder than this. Yet I believe, I do believe that I won't let your hands go. It would be a hard voyage, moreover with differences we had, but as long as we trust each other, every little thing would be all right. Ik hou van jou.
