His
Hers
Looking at her from the corner of his eyes, he wonder how long have he had known her. Meeting her right now was such a coincidence. He thought of her minutes before and now she’s just right beside him, chatting away. It’s been so long since both of them had sat down together, somewhere. The last time they had such conversation was pretty long time ago. He tried not to drift away from the conversation but he can’t help it. He falls into a deep silence. He doesn’t know what to say. Occasionally, he starts a topic to talk but again, silence overcomes the two of them. He had always hated the silence between them. He thought of the time they spent together. Not much of memories together, he realised. The sound of the bell brought him back to reality. The bus reached her stop. They said goodbye.
And sitting there, he watched her walked away from him again, thinking whether he’s in love with her, all over again.
The sun shines brightly in the sky. Clear blue sky with a nice cool breeze. She boards the bus. The minute she board the bus, she saw him, sitting at the back as he always did. She sat beside him and starts out the conversation. She talked about herself, she asked about him. As she talked, she realised he had drifted away into a deep thought. Slowly, word by word, she stop talking, letting the silence taking over them. She wanted a conversation with him so badly; she doesn’t know what to say. Occasionally, he talked a little and then kept quiet. She wanted her destination to reach faster but yet she doesn’t want to. She wants to spent time with him but yet she doesn’t know how. The last time both of them spent time together was exactly 4 months ago, she remembered. She wondered whether he does. She pressed the bell. She said goodbye. Her heart ache.
And walking away from him, she thought to herself whether she has been in love with him long enough to let him go.
