One day, she commissioned a friend to summon me in secret place. When I got there, she asked me if I had a special feeling for her. Suddenly, I felt my face flooded with blood, my voice quivered as I strongly denied it. "No! and who told you that? I'll punch him on the nose!"
When I came home, I told my brothers and my cousins about it. To my surprise, they all blamed and scolded me, telling me I was so stupid. They said that was it! I should have revealed my feelings even without asking. It's only then that I realized how stupid I really was, and I lost my chance.
After that event, she and her family went for a vacation to another island. They stayed there for the whole summer. And everyone in the group,specially I, was eager for her return. But, she did not come home anymore... Their ship sank. She was among the hundreds of missing passengers.
That was more than 25 years ago but the image of her sweet little face would still float in my memory…
