2010
A boy walking alone in hallway of the high school met a group of girls gossiping within themselves. The boy automatically start sweating and in the lightning speed he turned on his heels and start walking in the opposite direction.
But why?
Why did he had so much fear for the girls?
Why can't he just smile at them and move along?
Because there is a special friend who's been with him for a long time. FEAR
Fear of rejection
Fear of his own confidence
Fear what others would think of him
2015
The same boy enroll in the University of Kingston for pursuing his dream to become an engineer. Its been three years in university still the same frightened boy who was afraid of girls. But there is an improvement. If he found a group of girls in the hallway now, he would lowered his head and pass them without seeing who were there.
2016
Maybe god kinda fed up with the boy's antics. Because when the boy went to pursue his post graduate in National Tech, he was the only one boy in his classroom with 9 girls as his classmate.
Funny how the life works right.
But it wasn't that easy to talk with them. There is his close friend, fear, standing in front of him block out all the chances.
But the girls took the issues on their own hands, Befriended him and make him comfortable. He was so happy to be with them. They treated him as their younger brother even though he promised himself to be their elder brother to them. But what about other girls?
Still the same boy who feared for rejection.
2020
The boy, now working as a Engineer, still have some hesitant to approach girls.
This is the story of that boy who named....
"Ronnie..... "
"Ronnie... Wake up... It pasts 9. We are going to be late for the job."
I woke up with the jolt looking around my surroundings to check my phone. Some group chat about football nothing more than that..
"Well what you expect, sweet good morning from your dream girl.. Woke up you shithead", my mind voice taunted me.
Well, one can dream right..?
With lots of struggle, I managed to get up from the bed and march forward towards bathroom. After the warm shower, I stand in front of the mirror to admire myself.
" Wow, the adonis in the earth", my mind voice teased me. I am not the fashion icon, if anything I am the total opposite of that.
Same dull black hair, with dark brown eyes the man looked me with such distaste. Well what you have expect? I am the fat guy, with poor self love.
With all thing pushed up, I went to office to start a new day. But after few hours, all the joy drained down. Thank god, myself and my friend planned to go my alma mater for the concert.
Day comes to an end, and we are so excited to go back to the university. We reached on time for the concert. Perks of being an alumni, the respect is still there among the Junior and we got free tickets for the concert. When we entered the concert grounds, the lot of nostalgic feelings hits like a brick on my face. Lot of memories come back like the movie playing in the mind. I am waiting for my junior to come here. There is a flash of orange glitter in my eyes. I turned to inspect the source. There stood the goddess dressed in short half sleeve knee length dress. At first, I didn't saw her face. Suddenly, my friend, who I forget, nudged me, "Ronnie.... ".
"Hah... Yeah Alex..?? "
"My legs' hurting, I am gonna take a seat"
His voice faded out. The angel turned back to talk with her friend, gracing me with most elegant face I ever seen. I just stare at her until the ads start blaring in the speaker. The vibration emitted from the speaker make her hairs to bounce. She must have got me staring, slowly she move her head towards me. I just act like I am looking somewhere else. But she just in front me, it so close. I just want to look her and give a smile.
"Oh!... The famous smile of Ron... Shut it HANDSOME" my mind voice pegged me back to the ground.
Bit last in the thoughts, I faintly heard some girl voice, "Ronnie, Here.. Here.. ".
Shaking my daydream a bit, I saw my junior, Rachel, waving frantically at me.
I smiled at her and hugged her.
"It's been long time, how are you Rach? "
"Good. You are still the same Ronnie.. All chubby bubly", she pinched my cheeks.
"Hands off devil".
She got a call from her friend. She put a finger and asked me wait for a minute.
Then only I remember about my angel, suddenly I turned to check for her. She is missing.
" Good for her", Inner demons hollered.
"Hey, what's with the long face, Ronnie? ", Rachel shouted because of loud music in the background.
" Nothing.. Nothing.. Hey.. Where is you ten boyfriends? ", I teased her
" Oh shut it", she laughed. "Hey, wait here I will bring my friends over here. And she ran away with that.
I sighed.
" Who are you, my orange? "
