Tree
=====
The reason I'm called Tree is because I'm good at
painting trees. Over time, I started to use a tree
on the right hand corner as a trademark for all my
watercolor paintings. I dated five girls when I was
in Pre-University. There's one girl whom I really
love a lot. However, I never dared to woo her. She
doesn't have a pretty face, a good figure or outstanding
charm. She is just a very ordinary girl.
I like her. I really like her. I like her innocence.
I like her frankness. I like her cuteness. I like
her intelligence and her fragility. The reason why
I did not woo her is because I felt somebody so ordinary
like her is not a good match for me. I'm afraid that
all the good feelings I have for her will vanish after
we get together. I'm also afraid that the gossips
that follow after we get together will hurt her. I
felt that if she's meant to be my girl, she will be
mine ultimately and I don't have to give up everything
just for her. The last reason made her accompany me
for three years. She watched me go after different
girls as I made her heart cry for three years.
She bumped into us when I was kissing my second girlfriend.
She was embarrassed but managed to smile and urged
us to continue before running off. Her eyes were swollen
like walnuts the next day. I pretended not to know
what caused her tears but laughed at her for her swollen
eyes for the whole day. She cried alone in the classroom
after everyone left for home. She didn't notice me
returning from soccer training to get something from
the classroom. I watched her cry for an hour or so.
My fourth girlfriend didn't like her. They once got
into a quarrel. Based on her character, I know she's
not the type that will start the quarrel. However,
I still sided with my girlfriend. I shouted at her
and her eyes were filled with shock. I didn't care
about her feelings and walked off with my girlfriend.
In spite of the incident, she still continued laughing
and joking with me like nothing has ever happened
the next day. I know that she's very hurt but she
didn't know that my heartache is as bad as hers.
I asked her out when I broke up with my fifth girlfriend.
After going out for a day, I told her that I have
something to tell her. Coincidentally, she told me
that she has something to tell me too. I told her
about my break up and she told me about her new boyfriend.
I know her new boyfriend. He has been pursing her
for a while. He is a very cute guy full of energy,
lively and interesting. His pursuit has been the talk
of the school.
I can't show her how much my heart aches but can
only smile and congratulate her. When I reached home,
the heartache was so strong that I couldn't tolerate
it. It's like a heavy rock on my chest. I couldn't
breathe. I wanted to shout but I couldn't. Tears rolled
down my cheeks and I broke down and cried. At that
point of time, I thought about the number of times
I had seen her cry for the man that didn't acknowledge
her presence.
During graduation, I read a sms in my hand phone.
It was sent ten days ago when I broke down and cried.
I haven't read it since then.
It says, "Leaf’s departure is because
of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to
stay."
