BACK TO DECEMBER

This is my story. On December, 26th 2012, I felt as if were the happiest girl in the world because on that day I celebrated my sweet seventeen birthdays. My happiness world come because there was someone who would make me happy with a little surprise.


One week before my birthday, he was different from the way he looked at me, the way he said ‘good morning’, and many things. He seldom asked me “Have you taken your lunch?”, “How is the day?”, “What are you doing?”, and many things. I knew that although was a little thing, but it meant everything to me. It made me take a conclusion that he was so bored with meeting me, he wanted to forget me, or even he wanted to make me feel so usual without him. I felt lost.


We were trouble and it happened on December, 14th 2012. Actually, I didn’t know what my fault was, and he even never explained about that. We argued each other about many things. In the end, we forgived each other, but I felt a little doubtful. After that, I went to sleep, and he said “Good night, honey. Have a nice dream. I’m sorry for my anger.” I like that.


I talked about that to my best friend, but she just said “You have to believe that he still loves you. He has a reason to do that.”
I was more confused when he changed his BBM’s display picture, and in the picture he was with a girl, his classmate. I was even more confused when he changed his twitter avatar. What’s your purpose, dear?” I cried on that day, December, 23th 2012.
The nightmare happened again on December, 24th 2012. I saw his anger on twitter, I thought he cursed me. Suddenly, I felt sorrowful. Oh God, what really happened? He never acted like this before. He was envy, and said “It’s up to you! I’m so tired, you never hear whatever I say.” Then, I tried to tell him about my opinion, but it didn’t work.
Day after day, he even changed, we greatly seldom communicated each other. He was busy with his futsal and football, so that I tried to understand and kept thinking positively. I waited for his information, patiently. On December, 25th 2012, he disappeared, he didn’t reply my message and he also didn’t answer my call. I felt so disappointed, angry, sorrowful, and everything made me amazed. I even cried again.


I was waiting for him until midnight. “Doesn’t he remember that tomorrow’s my birthday?” I said to my self. I saw my watch, it was 11 p.m. I felt so tired, I didn’t care about him anymore. I went to sleep.


“PING!” happy birthday Nabella Alamanda, on your seventeen birthday I hope all the best for you, and I hope you will enter to the university which you want, and one of the thing is that I hope you still care for me. Sorry for everything that I did, I just want to make a surprise for you. Sorry, and I still love you.” It was at the midnight when I got his message. I felt so surprised, but unfortunately, he was in Bandung so that he couldn’t come to meet me.


At around 4 a.m, my mother was waking me up, she told me that there was someone outside my home. I thought it was too early, isn’t it? I was still sleepy. Suddenly I opened the door, there was my best friend, and I was so surprised when I see my boyfriend there too. He said “Happy birthday, dear!”


It was unforgettable moment. I heard that my boyfriend was trying so hard to find out a gift for me. He didn’t sleep that night because he was afraid to wake up late to come to meet me.
I’m so thankful to my best friends, Ari Fitriani, Asih Siti Sundari, and also my dearest one, Firman Gustafan.
