A Boy Named Salvador

A Boy Named

Salvador

Almost twelve years has been past, but still I remember a boy named

Salvador

…

I'm trying to pick a bundle of Bougainvillea flowers but difficult to take because it's from the outside fences, so there's a boy that I asked a favor and he took for me some. I thanked and smiled with him. I didn't give too much attention, then a following day I always saw him scattered around the high school department. In my surprised I received a pink rose from him; I thought he remembered that I like flowers so that he gave me. The day was not going normal because routinely he's there in our area and giving me roses that I don't know where he picked.

How I would believe that this boy younger than me for three years was started stalking me. Writing me a note written my name and the word "I love you". It's not pleasing me at all, how it would be a grade five student will fall to a third year high school. When I entered in my class room one rose in front of my desk, all my classmates start laughing at me. I feel diffident and the situation giving me an annoyance and embarrassment. One my best friend asked him, why he likes me and he answered I like her eyes.  I tried to talk to him in discreet way and asked to stop what he's doing, but it is useless. He continued on what he's doing. This boy was too much tough headed, he's a KBF (Kaisang Buhay Foundation) ward and his personality showed on what place he belongs. I'm not humiliating him but I put too much effort and patience to understand him, in a month he stopped. In Last year of my high school I saw him again and disturbing. A written love notes was fine but shouting in the middle of the ground that he love me was alarming. Then I asked my friend who's been my classmate to pretend as my boyfriend to show to him. I thought he will believe but he putted me in a trap. How he will tell to me that he wants to see this friend kissing me as a proof that he know I can't.

After that unpleasant incident, he disappeared that made me relieved. The last time I saw him when we're having a farewell party that time he's different. He feels timid and cannot look at me, but still there's a smile on his lips. Maybe he realized what he done or maybe he has his own reason.

For past two years of wasting his time and endeavor stalking me he didn't benefit any thing. In my mind I establish a conclusion for what he done. It is a misinterpretation of his mix emotion of love and feelings for an older sister, but the exact reason he's the only one who can answer.   

One thing I know that is right, a time that he told to my best friend that he like my smiles. "Smile", a word that made me think and figures his face. He's right the only thing we have in common is our smiles, a smiles that made our eyes hide.
