The Second Hero

''Bingggg bingggg binggg" alarm o'clock goes off. It was 8 p.m. and now Joshy's heading back to the dorm. Having full day with classes, group meeting and stuff was really exhausting, Joshy felt like his social life was over. Walking bit tipsy and a bit like zombie, Joshy passed the cafeteria and suddenly he stopped walking.

He saw Jenny and Michael together eating dinner. They seemed happy and all giggled. "I guess it's true, what the rumor said. They are dating." He murmured by himself. It has been 3 weeks since Jenny dated Michael. "I don't understand why does it have to be Michael, I am much better man than that jerk...". Without even realizing it, Joshy clenched his fist so hard that the redness became so obvious.

He suddenly remembered a scene in the drama he watched last year, when the second hero had to see the one he loved, loving somebody else, and could not do anything about it. "It is painful..even then I could not say anything". "I can't even date anyone else because of you Jenny". "It has to be you Jenny, I can't see other people than you". Joshy walked away with teary eyes.

Joshy is an amazing guy. He has good looks, good academic background and even great family background. The reason he was so afraid to say what he has been feeling inside is because, Jenny is his bestfriend. He once dropped a hint about dating to Jenny, and he didn't get a good respond. He was so afraid of losing Jenny that he kept his feelings hidden..for five years now.

Joshy walked into his room and get into more comfortable pajamas. His roommate was away again, so he was alone that night. He shed a couple of tears and clenched his teeth for a minute. And let out a big sigh. This is not important! My future is more important. That night Joshy vowed to become a successful man, and live his life to help other people. "I may or may not love you till the end Jenny, but I really hope that if one day you got heartbroken by some asshole who does not even deserve your tears, you will know that I am the one who will never love you any less" Joshy wrote these into his diary. He continue working on his final year project while listening to Have You Ever Really Love A Woman by Bryan Adams.

Post Loving You

When it comes to love, your kind of religion would not understand. But my kind of religion would. We share the same religion, why is it our way of life is different? I told you, that I liked you. I told you that I cared about you more than you think I do. You said, I should not lead this kind of life, that I will not be blessed. But you never said that you hate me, for liking you. I did not get the wrong idea, it was not my intention to pursue this feeling in the beginning, I truly understand that what I want, is not what you want. But aren't you being too cruel? Like, cutting ties with me? Somehow, I felt like I judged you wrong. I expected more from you. I thought that, you were gonna be more kind in handling me. I felt like, I have been loving the wrong person this whole time. And then, I realized that I actually loved someone else. They have the same face as you, but it was not you. I suddenly come to terms that, I have been loving the version of you, that I my s...

You need to be happy with someone else

“No! You have to get married. You just, have to okay. Don’t say that you’ll might join the will-never-get-married people”, Joshy flashed out, almost sounded angry. The thing was, Jenny joked how she might be single even after 30, and those words really hit Joshy like a bullet. It was not suppose to but it will make sense if you see how he loved her from the very beginning. He could not be together with Jenny and he came to term that she has to be happily married with someone who deserves her. She deserves the world. So when she joked that way, how can Joshy not be panicked? He literally give in the love he wanted the most, for the sake of normality, and for the sake that he is not the one. She has to get married, she has to. If not, what would Joshy do with his heart? She has to be happy with someone, who is capable of loving her the way she always wanted. Jenny was confused with the gesture, but Joshy could not control his action, who would? “You have to get married, no matter wh...

Night

It was raining that night. It was not that heavy, that night the rain poured romantically. As if it prepared a scene or a background sound of a beautiful memory. Joshy and Jenny went back to their dorm after a batch party. They supposed to leave with other dorm mates, somehow only them both were staying, Shawn and Mary have family plans made on short notice. Joshy and Jenny ran back at the dorm with linked arms. Because there was only one small umbrella. Little did Jenny knew, how Joshy's heart beat so fast as if it would explode any time soon. Being a gentlemen, obviously, Joshy had his half shoulder all wet, so that the cold rain did not bother Jenny's beautiful dress. Finally when they reached the dorm, Jenny invited Joshy to spend a night at her room. It was a festive weekend so most of the student went back to their hometown, and Joshy knew Jenny could be a scaredy cat sometimes so he agreed, shyly. They both dry themself with towel, Joshy changed into a comfortable t-shir...
