Prologue III: The Moment Is Now

"I'm in love with you"

Cara was shocked as her long time friend, Chris uttered that statement while
they were talking after their elementary graduation ceremony. She thought
Chris was just kidding, but the look in his face says that he is serious about it.
She thought that this will just be their goodbye's to each other, but it turned
out different from what she expected.

"What do you want me to say to that?"
Cara replied. Hesitant about the way she should answer to his statement.

"I just thought that you should know, for once."

It was a thing that Chris didn't think through so much. He just wanted to say
his feelings for Cara. Something that he kept inside for so long than he could
remember. Just watching her being a friend to him, waiting for the right
moment to tell her, his feelings. But there was no right moment. There is just
what you should say now and what you should say later, and he didn't want
to say it later. So, he just stood up from his seat, walking through the
students who were so happy that they finally graduated, and went to the spot
where Cara is standing.

"I'm in love with you, and I know you could find it in your heart to love me
too."

Cara was just silent. But her silence made Chris figure out that it wasn't going
to work out the way he wanted to. He knew already that she just think of him
as a friend. And what he had said to her now is a huge risk to their friendship.
But he wasn't gonna give up on it.

"I know that you need some time to think about this, so I'll just wait for you
to make up your mind."

Chris looks at Cara for the last time and said his goodbye.
"I just hope you remember what that bracelet of yours meant."

Cara just stood at the same spot she was in when Chris told her about his
feelings. She just looks at him as he walk away from that spot. Holding the
bracelet that was in her arm. She whispered the only words that she can say at that point.

"I'm in love with you too..."
