Tree, Leaf and Wind Part 1 | 2 | 3

Wind
=====

I like a girl called Leaf. I have to be a gust wind as she's too dependent on Tree. A Wind that will blow her away. When I first met her, it was one month after I transferred to the new school. I saw a petite person looking at my seniors and me playing soccer. She will always be sitting there during our soccer practise looking at him regardless if she’s alone or with friends. There's jealousy in her eyes when he talks with other girls. There's a smile in her eyes when he looks at her. It became my habit to look at her just like how she likes to look at him.

One day, she didn't appear. I felt something was amiss. I couldn't explain the feeling except that it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior wasn’t there as well. I hid outside their classroom and saw my senior scolding her. He left her with tears in her eyes. I saw her at her usual place looking at him the next day. I walked over and smiled at her. I took out a note and gave it to her. She was surprised. She smiled and looked at me before accepting the note.

She passed me another note and left the next day.
Wind couldn't blow her away because Leaf's heart is too heavy.

It's not that Leaf’s heart is too heavy. It is because Leaf never wanted to leave Tree
I replied her note with this statement and she started to accept me slowly.

She talked to me, accepted my presents and phone calls. I know that the person she loves is not me. However, I kept up my perseverance as I believe that one day I will make her like me. Within four months, I have declared my love for her no less than twenty times. Every time, she will divert the topic away. Nevertheless, I never give up. I decided that if I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her over. I can't remember how many times I declared my love to her. Although I know she will try to divert the topic away, I still bear a small ray of hope every time as I hope that she will agree to be my girlfriend.

During my last declaration of love for her, I didn't hear any reply from her over the phone.
I asked, "What are you doing? Why didn't you reply my proposal?"
She said, "I'm nodding my head."
"Ah?" I couldn't believe my ears.
"I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly.
I hung up the phone, dressed up quickly and rushed to her place in a taxi. I hugged her tightly the moment when she opened her door.

Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay.
