Unspoken Love (One-Shot Story)

If you love someone, tell them. Because hearts are often broken by words left unspoken.

"♫ That I’m officially going on the record
To say I’m in love with you
I’m officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I’ll tell the truth
I’m officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before
I’m officially yours
La da day, la da day
La da da da da oh...♫ " James sang while playing his guitar outside the doorstep of Ynnah's apartment. Ynnah was just standing there, awestrucked.

"I've been waiting for this moment to finally tell you what I really feel coz I might not find the courage again to express it," James said.

"Go on then! Tell me!" Ynnah said.

"Okay," he took a deep breath before continuing what he was saying. "I don't know but.. I think I have fallen for you." He waited for her reply but she just remained silent.

"I know this is crazy. You can laugh now if you want to." then she finally laughed.

"You're crazy. Maybe you're just hungry or sleepy or thirsty." Ynnah said laughing.

"I'm growing feelings for you eversince our first meeting. I always wanted to see you, always wanted to hear your voice. Coz I love you!" He hold her hand. "I can't afford to lose you but if you really don't like me, just let me continue loving you." then he let go of her hand.

"You really are insane James! Every single day of my life, I have been wishing for this moment to happen. I may not like you but I do love you."

Then there's silence..

"I.. I don't know what to say Ynnah. I mean, really?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding here James? Believe it or not, I really love you," Ynnah said.

"I love you too sweetie." James replied.

Then they both laughed.

"Nice acting skills James," then she tapped his shoulder.

"You too Ynnah! So, do you think Rima will love it?"

"I'm sure she will. My dear cousin will love it."

"Thanks for practicing with me Ynnah. You're the best bestfriend."

"That's what bestfriends are for bud."

Then they fell silent.

"Err.. It's getting dark James. You should go now."

"Oh yeah maybe I should. Mmm, bye.."

"Bye.."

She immediately entered their house and locked herself up in her room. She was now crying. "I think it's finally time to accept that we're better as bestfriends."

While James was left outside, staring at the window of Ynnah's room. He took a deep breath. "I wish you knew that everything I've said was for you. It's hard for me to let you go, but what can I do? You kept on pushing me to your cousin. I love you. I just wish you knew... Ynnah."
