I Forget That I Love You

Stella was walking in a deserted alley. It was in the late evening. The alley was very dark. It was only the moon that lit up the night. "Love will never tell lies" whispered Stella to herself.

The wind blew strongly, made Stella feel cold, though she was wearing a very tick jacket. She stared for a moment gaze into the sky, it was quiet. There were no stars decorating the sky. Ooh... She suddenly felt lonely, after that she thought of her lover. "I hate him!" she cried silently. "Why did he betray me?" she muttered again.

Suddenly Stella tried to remember again when she was quarreling with her boy friend two hours before.

"Please, Stella, trust me..." Roger sulked to Stella, his girlfriend.

"What can i trust from your words? I have even forgotten that I love you!" Stella snapped. She seemed to be burning with jealousy.

How not? Stella had seen Roger walking with a woman in a mall the day before. That time, Roger and the girl walked arm in arm. And to Stella, the fact was enough for her to think that Roger had betrayed her love--her sincere love.

"But you must trust me..." said Roger silently again. But the words sounded useless, because Stella had walked away.

"I'll prove to you, Stella, that my love with you seriously..." Roger then went in the opposite direction with Stella.

Oooh... Stella suddenly cried for having to remember the quarrel. But, she just went on the steps, heading home.

The morning had come to the accompaniment of chirping birds. Sunlight that penetrated through the sidelines of the window, touching the skin of Stella's eyes were still closed. Stella was very lazy to get up from her bed, but she had to go to school. School? Considering about it made her lazier to get up. Because, she knew that she would meet Roger there. Then, with a lazy step, she finally got up and walked toward the bathroom, "I hope i won't meet him at school"

The class was deserted. Stella looked at her watch. "What the??? it's 7 already. Where are the other students???"

Stella then walked to her desk. When she arrived at her desk, she found a paper. she opened it, and read the writings in the the paper, "This class will not start if you don't forgive me". Stella gasped for a moment. She liked the sentence, but when she wanted to keep it, she suddenly remembered that it must be Roger who wrote this. "Yes, it must be him...!!!" Then she threw the paper. And when she wanted to sit down, dozens of students came to the classroom by carrying a large banner with the inscription: "IF YOU FORGET THAT YOU LOVE ME, I WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER IT AGAIN WITH MY LOVE."

And a moment later, Roger came into the classroom too. He carried a flower. He stepped toward Stella. Stella was nervous. She wanted to scream, and she longed to berate Roger. But, she didn't know why she felt difficult doing it. This time Roger had stoop up in front of her, "Stella..." said Roger calmly. But before he continued his words, he looked back at his friends who had supported and helped him. He winked his right eye to his friends for a while, it made his friends smile to him.

"I never lie to you" said Roger again after looking back to Stella, "All I want in this world is only you. I'm not lying. It's true, this feeling comes from deep inside my heart. About the girl you saw yesterday. Mm... I forgot to tell you that I have a little sister. She studies in Australia. And yesterday, she wanted me to accompany her to buy a new dress."

"You're lying!" Stella snapped.

"No, he's not lying..." suddenly a beautiful girl came, and walked closed Stella and Roger, "I'm his sister... Hello, My name is Hanna..."

Stella was confused. She knew now that she had misunderstood.But, she felt shy to stare at Roger's eyes. Roger, because he knew Stella, just embarrassed Stella. So did Stella, She cried on Roger's chest...

Looking at this moment, all the students there clapped their hands. But suddenly, came a terrible sound. It was a teacher's voice, "Is there anyone who can tell me what happening is here???"

All the students, of course, just ran toward their desks hurriedly...

above the sky, the angel of love smiled looking at Stella and Roger's love that reunited... (^_^)
