CHILDHOOD DAYS [ 1 ]

.

During kindergarten, I clearly remember that there was this boy in our class whose face always looked so grumpy. His name tag said his name was Levi.

.

He looked scary too because of his furrowed eyebrows and frowned lips. Almost no one was talking to him, except for Auruo whom always argued with him and Hanji, who was seemingly pestering him with her weird dolls. I kind of envied Auruo and Hanji so somehow I – somehow I kind of wanted to talk to him. I summed up a bit of courage to approach and talk to him.

.

But in the end, I failed. I didn't know if that was because I was shy or afraid of him, just like the others.

.

The days went on and I wasn't able to talk to Levi. One day our teacher held an activity that required us to pair up. We were going to draw some animals we like. Everyone got paired up except for me and Levi. I was looking at him at the distant and he seemed too uninterested to mingle with us. Little tears started forming from the corner of my eyes.

.

"What's wrong, Petra?" our teacher saw me almost crying. "You don't have a partner yet?"

.

I shyly nodded while I squeeze my hands. Our teacher looked at left and right and noticed Levi just staring blankly at some books. Our teacher held my hand and together we went to Levi.

.

"Levi," our teacher called. Levi looked up at out teacher with his usual grumpy expression. "Is it alright to pair you up with little Petra here?"

.

Quietly, from teacher Levi looked at me. Inside I admitted I was kind of scared of him. His expression rarely changed. And then he said, "Okay."

.

A feeling of relief gushed inside me. I felt a slight happiness from his reply.

.

Our teacher left the two us alone.

.

Levi and I, in front of each other, alone. None of us was speaking nor moving a muscle. I was blankly staring at my feet, didn't know exactly what I should do. I didn't have any courage to look at him either.

.

"Oi," he called up and it surprised.

.

"I'm sorry!" I exclaimed with tears rushing down my red cheeks. I didn't know why I began crying back then. Was it because I was scared he would be mad at me? Even though I didn't really do anything to make him mad. I couldn't see Levi's face very well. My vision went blurred with the tears continually forming in my eyes. I sniffed several timed, wiped my tears but they just kept coming.

.

"Oi, why are apologizing – why are crying?" Levi asked. He sounded anxious. Despite my blurred vision, I could slightly see Levi's eyebrows furrowed more.

.

"I'm… so-sorry…" I began to hiccup as I cry.

.

I heard Levi clicked his tongue. I began to think he must be annoyed with me, suddenly crying for no particular reason. I felt the he moved closer to me. Was he going to hit me? I wondered as I was wiping my tears with my sleeves.

.

"Oi, I don't know why you're apologizing, but don't cry. It's alright," Levi said. I was honestly surprised. I stared at him with my teary eyes. His cheeks were pink, though his eyebrows were still meeting each other. "It's alright, whatever is going on. So stop crying already." He added. "We must draw now or teacher will scold us. You understand, Petra?"

.

I sniffed and nodded slowly. My tears stopped for a while but then I began crying again. "Le-Levi…" I called to him with a broken voice.

.

"Why are you cryi- ah, whatever, it's alright okay?" Levi comforted me again. He wasn't shouting, he didn't sound mad either. He slowly reached for my hand and gently held. "Stop crying now okay? Come now and let's draw." I held has hand back.

.

"Levi…" I called to him once again with a broken voice. He didn't get mad, he didn't yell, he didn't hit me. That was the time I thought Levi wasn't scary at all. He was just a quiet boy, kind of unsociable, but he was kind and tender.

.

That time, I thought the reason I cried was because I was feeling happy inside. I was feeling happy because all I had wrongly thought about him weren't true. I was happy to know he was just a silent, gentle boy. Though he still wore his usual, grumpy face.

.

And the next days, I had began talking to him a lot more. Seeing us converse, the other kids began approaching and talking with Levi too. This way, I was hoping I could grow closer to him, and maybe someday, he will learn to open his heart more to others.
