After that, I started to focus on my studies and goals. A year and a half passed, and then one day—I froze.
Do you want to know why?
That day, I saw him hanging out with his friends on the street as I was walking home from school. I was completely stunned to see him after all these years. My heart started pounding, and a wave of panic rushed over me. I didn't go near him or cross paths; instead, I quickly changed direction and turned back.
The following day, the street was unusually quiet. As I walked through it, my eyes suddenly caught sight of him again. Another panic attack hit me, and for a moment, the world around me went silent and blank. I thought to myself, God must have heard my prayers.
It felt like all my wishes had come true—like my prayers had taken shape in real life. I felt an overwhelming urge and screamed out loud with excitement. I was beyond thrilled for the grand festival that was just around the corner.
When the festival finally arrived, my friends and I went to the place where I had seen him. I was incredibly nervous. Every time I tried to sneak a glance at him, I noticed he was already looking at me. Even my friends pointed out that he couldn't stop staring.
From that moment, my feelings for him grew stronger and deeper. I sent him another friend request—and this time, he accepted. I finally gathered the courage to confess my crush on him and sent him a message.
And then... the shocking part happened
