Guest Writer Dear Bell,
Nine years ago since I caught myself staring a girl who I described as God’s almost perfect creation. Yes it’s you, Bell. You’re walking down the street wearing your cute hello kitty headband while having fun with your friends. I saw nothing, but perfection. That was the day when I became curious on the idea of love at first sight. A 13 year-old kid is in love.
I wanted to know more about you but I’m struggling because I am afraid to be teased by my friends. Since I am an introvert kid, I talk less to people. I was Grade 7 that time and I heard you were Grade 6. “Oh, a little baby”, I said, “You’ll become my baby someday.” Kidding aside, I did nothing but wait you in the next school year.
Yes, here we are. You’re Grade 7 and I’m Grade 8. My friends already knew that I’m admiring you and they helped me get closer to you. During vacant times, we used to roam around the campus just to look for you. It became my happiness to see you everyday. You became one of my inpirations why I love to go school. I described you as my ultimate crush during high school days.
I had the chance to have a conversation with you. We started talking in a messenger convo and I confessed about my feelings. I can’t believe I’m having convo with my dream girl. But unfortunately, the conversation only lasted for a short period of time because you hate being teased by my friends. The next day, I noticed that you’re avoiding me. This makes me realized that this girl does not like me. And yeah, I’m right. After that, I lost my hope.
As time passed by, I found myself in a relationship. That relationship did not last. Then here’s another one, failed again. Oh Lord, have mercy.
College Days
During summer, I processed my papers to enroll in college. Then after the enrollment, our paths meet again. I can’t explain what I feel that time. We’ve talked again and finally, I stole your heart. We’re having a good conversation and everything seems to be perfect. I thanked God for that. It’s like a dream come true because I got my dream girl finally. Then suddenly, the wind blows differently. I decided to hang you up in the air, and cut everything that connects us. I chose my personal happiness, I became selfish. I thought I made a right decision, I thought I’ll become happier. Then time proves me wrong. I regret.
Years after, we became busy with our lives. I entered another relationship but still, did not work. Maybe the law of karma works with me. Yes, I regret.
You are in a relationship now for years. You became happy and finally found a man. I asked some good friends of us about your life, and I don’t even know if you’re still happy. One day while walking down the City, I saw you again after years. Sadness flitted across your face and I captured a wave of hopelessness in your eyes. My dream girl is in pain. I regret.
And now, I chose to live a life alone, but with full of hope. Yes, I’m hoping. I’m hoping to take you back. I’m always praying to God to take you back and I think a part of me will always be waiting for you, Bell.
“Your gentle face and angelic eyes – these come first into my mind whenever I hear the sound of a Ringing Bell.”
