• "Your smile makes my sky brighter...."

    "Okay! I'm ready!"
    Hello, my name's Lilly. I’m just an ordinary high school student with brown curly hair and brown eyes. Today's Valentine day. And of course, like any other girls, i've prepared a chocolate for the person I like-with his names on the chocolate. But there's one problem here..

    "Leooonnn~~ Happy Valentine Day~~!!"

    That's Nesha, His girlfriend. I can't give this chocolate for someone that already have a girl friend. What would I do? I can't beat Nesha. Nesha's popular girl, she's been known as "Princess". She has long blonde hair and a pair of beautiful blue eyes. She’s also very cheerful, attractive and popular. Even many boys from outside of my school confess to her.
    Like the others day, I only can stare from distances. Watch them with a pain in the deep of my heart. How can I let myself falling in love with someone that popular among the girls, the captain of basketball club and the most popular boy. How stupid I am...

    "Lillyyy~~~! Happy valentine day! Here's a chocolate for you..."

    "Thank you very much, Nesha."

    "hmm? What's that?"

    "What?"

    "That one.. the one that you're holding this whole time”

    Oh no! What am I doing? I still holding Leon’s chocolate!! What should I do??

    “Eh?? That’s for Leon???”

    *silence….*

    “Lilly, can you come for a bit seconds?”

    Okay, now I must think something quick! Quick! Quick!
    Oh no! she’s asking me to go to the backyard!
    She must investigate me there!!!
    No choice.. C’mon, you must be honest Lilly!

    “Nesha, I’m really sorry.”

    “Huh? What for?”

    “I’ve been falling with your boyfriend since a long time…”

    Nesha looks very shock.

    “Ok, so we’re a rival now? I won’t take easy on you although you’re my best friend”

    “Nesha.. Wait.. I don’t mean to take Leon from you. I just have special feelings for him.. That’s all”

    “Don’t say something disgusting thing like that. You’ve to try. It doesn’t matter for me if I lose from you. But you’ve to try!”

    So, It’s look like I already start to oppose that most popular girl from that times..
    But, I think, she’s right. At least, I must try. Started from greetings…

    “Good morning Leon.”

    Oh.. finally I said it. I’ve never been greeting him since we’re in elementary school. Does this strange? He only stares at me..

    *Leon smiles*
    “It’s the first time you talk with me”

    “ Really? ” Since that time, I have more confidence to get along with him

    By the time passed, We’ve become closer and closer and now I’m sure that he’s my true love.. But how about Nesha? She’s still my best friend. It’s nearly a week Nesha didn’t come to school. I wonder why. The rumor said that she is busy because her new job as a famous model. When I ask Leon about her, he said that was true. Nesha was so busy and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time and when he calls Nesha, there’s no answer. Leon looks so depressed. And I start to cheer him up. Although I know, that Nesha’s angry with me too. I think it’s because I take Leon from her. But, I can’t just stay and look Leon down like this. Finally Leon asks me to go out. We’ve been to many places since then. I think that we’re just like a couple-although I’m not his girlfriend.

    Today is Christmas Day. We go to the church together. In the church, after the mass, Leon confesses his true feeling to me! Now, what should I do? Although Leon likes me, He still has a girlfriend…

    “That’s true that Nesha still my girlfriend. But just for now, I want to hear your answer. Please, be honest Lilly…”

    Just for now, I can’t think for any consequent if I tell my feeling for him. My heart can’t stop beating around and my body doesn’t stop trembling of joy.

    “I love you too, Leon..”

    Oh! I said it!! I said it!! My feeling for him, I’ve been keeping for a very long time. Finally that’s come true! And now I only can imagine how wonderful my life with Leon later.

    “Lilly, I’m sorry to say this. But will you come to the Central Park in Sunday with me?”

    “Ok. But... why you say sorry to me?”

    “Because, I haven’t told Nesha yet about my true feeling... She’s been too busy. You know… But yesterday when I phoned her house, her butler said that we could meet her on Sunday 31st at 10 am. I’m really sorry for troubling you like this…”

    “It’s ok. Don’t worry. I understand Leon…”

    But, in the deep my heart, I’m still afraid to meet Nesha and tell her that I’ve already taken Leon from her. But still, this is my consequences if I want to be Leon’s girlfriend. And I must do it!

    #Sunday, 31st December. 10:25 am#

    Okay, here we go! I’m already prepared many plans and the consequences that may I get.
    Calm down, Lilly. Stay cool. You’re ready with your plans, right? Hmm…? That’s Leon! That’s mean I’m late! Wait? Does my hair tidy? Or should I comb it once again? My blue dress is alright… But should I wear my white shirt? No... This looks good too… My white shoes looks suits my white dress. Okay, Lilly is ready now.

    “Hello, Leon...”

    “Lilly! I think you didn’t come...”

    “I’m sorry. I’m late. But, Has Nesha arrived yet?”

    “No, not yet. I wonder why? She always on time…”

    Then we decide to wait for Nesha. That’s true that Nesha always on time. But maybe this time she’s still busy because her works. But I’m happy to wait her because there is Leon besides me. The times passed by…

    #Sunday, 31st December. 3:03 pm#

    “This already 3pm. But why Nesha isn’t here?”

    “I don’t know. Maybe we should go to her house now.”

    “Hey, You two! Wait for a minute!!”

    “Wait, that’s Nesha’s butler, isn’t it?”

    “I’m sorry I’m late… but, here.. Please read this”

    “A letter?”

    “Let me read this..
    ‘Dear, Leon and Lilly

    I’m really sorry that I’ve been lying so many times; I pretend to dumped Leon and fight against Lilly. Even, I spread rumors about being a model to hide my illness. The day when Lilly told me that she likes Leon, is the same day when I knew about my illness. When, doctors gave up and couldn’t do anything about this.
    I’ve known that Leon likes you. But I always try to attract him. Even I knew it wouldn’t work. It didn’t mean that I’m give up of my illness. Even If I were healthier than now, I would still give up. I don’t want my death to burden you. I hope you’re very happy now. I can feel it in deep of my heart. To watch you with your smiles from my place here, there’s only a thing that can makes me finally rest in peace. Your smile makes my sky brighter, so please always keep you smile even though I’m no longer in this world.
    Please receive my apologize.
    Thank You’
    With Love,
    Nesha


    “Butler, please bring us to Nesha’s place!”

    “But, that’s…”

    “Please Butler… I beg you… Please…”

    Leon lose his control. The butler takes us to the black glossy limousine. We only hope that we’re not too late. The limousine takes us to the graveyard.

    “I… Im… imposible! W.. Why??!?”

    It’s the graveyard with a tombstone that was written ‘Nesha Navouille’.

    *sob*sob*

    “Wh… why?? WHY NESHAAA?!? Why you leave us in this way?? I’m even haven’t say good bye… but you... you…”

    I can’t hold my tears. Although I’m already prepared many plan. But, this…

    Spring comes. The sorrowful and cold winter turns into beautiful and wonderful spring. The snow of tears melts, but the memories of her don’t melt in our heart. She always has a special place in our heart *
