I was just arrived with my uncle and aunt.
I didn't even see you.
Then I sat.
I didn't know if my seat gave me a really good view of you.
Then we ordered.
Then my uncle started to sing the karaoke song played there.
After a few songs, our food came.
My uncle stopped singing and we started to eat.
That's when I noticed you.

Well, your voice, actually.

I looked up from my plate and saw you.
My heart skipped a beat.
Because you saw me too.
And you were smiling.

Good God.

You have such a hypnotizing smile.
I didn't know if you saw it or not, but I blushed.
And I couldn't concentrate on my food anymore.
I kept glancing at you and tried to look uninterested.
And you kept smiling at me!
I thought I was going to melt into a puddle right that time.

You didn't stop singing.
You sang Frank Sinatra's My Way.
Then you reached the reff and you couldn't keep up with the song.
It was too high.
And you sang like you were choked to death!
I laughed.
I couldn't hide my laughter.
Then I dared to look at you.
And you were looking at me with those eyes.
You laughed, too.
But you didn't stop your awful singing.

I didn't mind, I like it.

I felt butterflies in my stomach.
I like your laugh.
I like your smile.
I like your eyes.
I like your voice, even your choked-like voice.
God, I think I like you..

And we just met for half an hour!

I surprised myself by that.

I finished eating, and tried so hard to keep my eyes somewhere but you.
I washed my hands at the sink right behind your seat.
We were back-to-back.
But I didn't have the courage to look at you.
I was just keep looking at my hands and tried to look like I'm washing it even though I was done.
I came back to my seat and kept looking at my shoes on the way there.
Then my aunt said it's time to go.
I quickly laced my shoes and kept looking at them as I made my way outside.
Then my uncle said goodbye to you and your family like we've known forever.

I was quiet. Very quiet.

We started to walk away again when your father called my aunt.
And his words made me dumbstruck.

OH GOD! HE WAS TRYING TO INTRODUCED YOU TO ME!

And you just sat there like you were okay with that!

And, once again, you flashed that dazzling smile at me!

The smile I started to think as one of my favorite..

For one milisecond, I smiled back.
Then I turned away because I can't hide my blushing cheeks.
I was still dumbstruck.
My aunt talked to me about your father's words, and I acted like I didn't know what he meant.

GOD!

I couldn't even bring myself to look back at you.
We arrived at the parking lot and I quickly got in the car.
I kept thinking of you.
I half-hoped you came and asked my name, or my number, or anything.
But you never came.
I cursed myself.
I shouldn't turned away so quickly.
I should've introduced myself.
I was starting to regret my reaction to your father's words.

I still regret my reaction.
I've been thinking of you for three hours now.

I just wish we will meet again, soon.
