The Girl and The Stalker II : The Beginning of Love

Pre Note: 

It's 2:45 AM when I started to write this post. Do you know about a flick titled "500 Days of Summer"? In that movie, the author said that there are only two kind of people in this world, a boy and a girl. Well in my opinion, there are four exactly, a good man, a jerk, a good woman, and a bitch. In "X2: X-Men United", Jean said to Wolverine that, "Girls flirt with dangerous man, but they marry the good one". Well I will make the assumption that the "dangerous" man is the same as the bad boy or closely equal to a jerk so it is obvious that girls who still have their sense will marry the good man.

This is the prequel of my first post The Girl and The Stalker.

The Beginning of Love

I still remember my first time having a crush on a girl. It happened in 1995, when I was in kindergarten. For some people, it's kinda weird to have such feeling that young. Well I told you, it really happen to me.

I saw her for the first time when we were on a school bus. I was standing next to her, and then..To be honest, I don't remember how exactly it happened. But I do remember that it was the first time I have a crush on a girl. She was cute and I loved her hair. I loved the smell of her hair too. 

I was excited every time I saw her. But we never talked, not even once. What the hell. I think I was born to be a coward on girls, but I believe in destiny that one day I will meet the one for me. 

Now back to the real story. Every time class dismissed, I run toward her class and waited for her to went out. I followed her stepped from behind. I think she noticed me when I did that. What a stupid five-year-old boy I was. And then when we were on the bus, I sat next to her. Can you imagine, a five years old boy is sitting next to a five years old girl and he doesn't know the reason why he feels so happy just to sit next to her?

Well, I will tell you, that at that time I didn't know that I liked her. I told my mom the whole story about that girl. And then my mom told me that I liked that girl. My mother is an elementary teacher, so she knows how to explain the "adult" thing well to kids.

I suppose my mother thought that the time has come to tell this "young adult" everything he should know. That was the first time I remember my mother ever said love. "I love you,your dad loves you, your grandpa loves you, and your grandma loves you. But it's not the same love we give when you love a girl, my son", my mom explained to me. "When you are a grown-up man, you will meet the mother of your future kids." And that was the first time my mother explained the Bataknese tradition. I am the first born of the family. I carry the family name, so under any circumstances I have to marry the right woman. I learn about love for the first time in my life from my mother. She is a great teacher for me. Love you mom.
