‘ I don’ t know. I’ m shy, maybe because of that.’
‘ You? Shy? I would never say it! I’ ve known you since today but I can say that you are smart, funny and clever’.
‘ That’ s really nice, thank you. You know, it means so much to me, because you are the first person that I can call“ friend”‘ – I admitted it. It wasn’ t easy but I decided not to lie to him.
‘… I’‘ Could you repeat it, please?’ I have never had a friend. I have been trying to start talking with you for three weeks’.‘ You’ re kidding!’‘ No.’‘ But … Why? Why do you even think that you may like me?’
‘ I saw what you had done. You gave a homeless woman everything you had in your wallet and then you bought her a big cake with fruit and chocolate’.
‘ She told me it was her birthday.’ – I whispered.
‘ I know. I heard it. Rachel, I have to be honest with you. I think that people like you – disinterested are unappreciated. This what you had done to that woman was really great. I have found out when you have birthday and I just want to do the same to you – change your world for better’
I wasn’ t looking at him. I was so … surprised. Happy.
Hearts were everywhere. I couldn’ t believe my eyes. Of course, I had forgotten that it was Valentine’ s Day.
‘ Thank you. You have done it’.‘ Pardon?’
‘ You’ ve changed my world. Of course, I’ ve known you only for one day. But I see you are special. Maybe I haven’ t had friends because I have been waiting for someone like you.’ He smiled and hugged me.
‘ Maybe. And maybe so have I?’
You might think:‘ Why did she tell us that this story was special?’. Don’ t worry, I’ m going to tell you.
Because it’ s about hope, help and shy people’ s life. Not only about love.
