Chapter 4: Love at first sight
Pucca's POV
The morning went fast and the time of the party arrived, I went down and saw lights, the cake, the gifts, the guests. Everyone was there, everyone except for Garu. Everyone congratulated me but I couldn't focus, I looked for him and yet I didn't find him. He said he was coming but he didn't show up. Everyone danced and sang, but I just stared at the night sky, I closed my eyes and drift away but I came back to reality and realized that he wasn't here. Just at the moment I was walking away from the window, I heard a voice singing, I came closer to the window and saw Garu giving me a serenade. I smiled and I have to say that he has a beautiful voice. I was on the balcony and he threw a rose to me, I grabbed it and ran towards him. I hugged him and thanked him. He smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek.
" Did you like it?" Garu said, I hugged him and as i was still in his arms I nodded.
" I loved it, you have a beautiful voice" I answered back. He took out a present and gave it to me. It was really heavy, when I opened it a little pink cat jumped out.
" I hope you like cats" Garu said, I carried the little pink cat, she was adorable.
" I love cats, she is so adorable! Thanks Garu" I thanked, as the little cat laid on my lap.
" Well, I am really glad you liked her" Garu said, as we played with the little pink cat.
" She is so sweet" I said.
" What are you going to name her?" Garu asked.
" I really want to name her Yani, do you like it?" I said, while feeding the little pink cat.
" I love it, that is a really pretty name" Garu replied, I smiled.
" So how have you been? And trust me, you sing really good" I sincerely said.
" Well I am glad you liked it, you are the only one that deserves it, not like her" Garu said, tears filled his eyes.
" You okay? What happened? Who is she?" I concernedly asked.
" Lets go outside, I'll tell you" Garu said, as tears caressed his eyes.
" Of course lets go" I said, we both walked out the door and sat looking at the full moon, being the only light int the dark night.
I saw how Garu stared up at the night sky. He closed his eyes and tears rolled down his eyes. I hugged him but he still sobbed.
" I really liked her but she betrayed me, why would she do that?" Garu said, I hugged him trying to comfort him.
" I am sorry to ask but what happened?" I asked, wiping some of his tears.
" Well, she was my everything, I know that I would have done anything for her but then she betrayed me by dating me worst enemy and both trying to destroy me, after all her and I been through, we wished on getting married and having a family together but one day she was gone, her stuff was gone and then I realized that she was dating him, now they both seek revenge and I don't know what happened with all the things she told me, she only lied" Garu said as he cried.
" Garu, I am really sorry to hear that, but you know that things always happen for a reason, you will find someone else" I said, as I nuzzled his soft face.
" I promised myself that I will never love again but I am breaking my promise" Garu said, as his sparkly-watery eyes stared at me.
" I also believed the same, that love will never come but I am making an exception on someone I just met" I said.
" Same thing here, I never believed on love at first sight but I am feeling it and love is getting me, I don't want to fall in love but its too late for that, I already fell" Garu said.
" Me too, because love leaves me alone and stranded but I am feeling it and I know that I don't want to loose it, when Ching and Abyo told me that it was love at first sight I never believed it, I used to think to why bother with love if it never lasts but now I know what it is to love at first sight and now I know what it is and I want to keep this love until one day I can't hold it anymore and end up telling the truth, hopefully this love doesn't hurt" I said, he smiled.
" I hope that this love doesn't hurt, I hope that this love works out" Garu said.
" So who do you like?" I curiously asked.
" You'll know sooner or later, and you?" Garu replied.
" Uhmmm…. You will know also sooner or later and thanks again for everything you have done for me, you are a great friend" I said, he smiled.
" Thanks, you are also a great friend probably my best and unexpected friend and perhaps maybe one day something else" Garu said.
I was confused but was it what I think he said? That he wanted to be with me? No maybe I am hallucinating and making things up, too bad that he doesn't mean it, I don't know why but just the fact on thinking that he may not be with me, that he might love someone else just makes my heart ache a lot. I know that it is soon but it was love at first sight and even though I care for him, I want him to be happy even if happy means to be with someone else, I'll have to stand the pain.
" Pucca? I was wondering if you want to go out tomorrow, maybe to the movies and you can invite your friends if you want" Garu offered.
" Oh really? Thanks and I hope that it doesn't bother you if my friends are kissing all the time, they love each other" I said, Garu laughed.
" There's no problem, maybe I can be friends with them, even if they are kissing and hugging all the time, I could talk to them and get to know you and them better" Garu said, I nodded.
" Well thanks and I'll see you then, thanks again for everything, for giving me Yani, the serenade, and for opening yourself with me and trusting me, and thanks for listening to me" I thanked.
" Thank you Pucca for listening to me, for being a really good friend, and for coming into my life" Garu said.
" Thanks for everything, I have to go now, my uncles might be wondering where I am, the party ended and hour ago so they must be really worried" I said, he smiled.
" I understand, well bye and see tomorrow" Garu said, I hugged him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek, being really close to my lips, I felt like flying but it all ended when he left. Luckily I'll see him tomorrow and spend the rest of the day with him tomorrow.
