My first love episode 4 – end

My first love
Finle
I raised my head and looked into his face
“Even though you broke up with me at Washington DC then, It’s painful though but I never stopped loving you ” Dante said
True, Washington DC was where our houses were located. But this isn’t Rafael
“Please say something” He requested and I just didn’t know what to say
“I do not know what to say” I said
“Why?” He requested
“I still didn’t recognize your face, I’m sorry. ” I said
“You never lived in Washington DC? ” He asked
“Of course I do” I replied
“And your dad isn’t a cop?” He asked
“Of course he is but…” I replied and paused
“And you told me several times that you like basketball and that you will like to be like the stars of basketball in the future ” He said and my face dropped in surprise
“I’m sorry Dante, did you change your face, cus this isn’t the face I use to know ” I said hoping that he will clear my confusion
“Sorry! Change my face for what? Is that possible? Why would I. I’m just surprised that you didn’t recognize me or you perhaps had some accident in the past that result to memory loss “He replied
” Never , I’m hale and hearty. I have never had an accident not to talk of memory loss. I still recognize my first love and his face doesn’t look like yours” I said boldly
He bowed his head for few seconds and by the time he raised it, his face had become puffy and red , tears could easily be seen parading his eyes and it’s obvious that he’s tryna fight tears from falling his eyes
He tried to speak but words fail him, his mouth was opened ajar and his eyes were strained as his face maintains an expression of sadness
“You recognize your first love if you see him but you did not recognize me” He said pronouncing the words one after the other and the tears finally poured on his face
I couldn’t stand his tears so I quickly stood and turned at him. I walked away from the cafeteria leaving him there
Did something went wrong with me truly at a point in my life? Of course not . I’m not dumb
I remember my past crystal clear. Nothing is wrong with me, just that there is a puzzle I need to solve
I was almost getting to my class when I saw Rafael discussing with a lady
Damn it! This is the Rafael I know, same face, same standing position.
I watched him as he smiled.
Same smiling face too, my days! He has not even changed. He’s as cute as ever and his deep blue eyes are just perfect, his dark curly hair are driving me crazy here and I feel like placing my hands on his gentle l-ips
But hopelessness parades my soul and sadness abode in my heart when It dawn upon me that he didn’t even recognize me.
And this girl he’s discussing with makes me feel so jealous, I wanna send the girl away and replace her position
How beautiful will it be for me standing and conversing rom-ntically with the hottest boy in school
I walked closer to them and pushed the girl away from Rafael
“Rafael , it’s me , your first love. Have you forgotten me so soon, at Washington DC, we use to play together at my backyard and you piggy back me often too , did you remember , you promise to k-ss me in the future , this is the future , this is me Kyla your first love, please remember ” I said and cried
He raised his hand and slapped me. I fell to the ground and more tears poured down my eyes
He walked away from me
I blinked my eye all of a sudden
Damn it! That’s a terrible imagination , he might not even slap me if I interrupt his beautiful moment with that girl, he might kick me too. I dare not go before him , not even after how he embarrassed me publicly before the crowd some hours ago, he might end up doing something worse now
I took my face off them and entered my class sullenly and sadly
I sat in my place and bowed my head. Many sweet memories of Rafael and I played in my mind and I can’t just fathom a single reason behind why he didn’t recognize me
????
What if he has fallen in love with another girl before he finally recognize me ????
Kyla’s POV
We received other lectures and the day was finally over. I slung my bag pack across my shoulder and went home
I can’t just stop thinking about Rafael. Who in the word is Dante? He’s really making me confused cus he seems to know more about me. Calling himself my first love. This is driving me crazy now
I brought out some old pictures Rafael and I took together when we were young
“And I’m gonna take this very one to school, I’m gonna show it to Rafael, I’m sure he’ll believe me” I said to myself as I lay on the bed
????????
Following Morning
I dressed quickly and hurried off to school. I just can’t wait to see Rafael and give him this pic, I’m sure he must react
I got to school and requested for his class. I went there and ran to his sit without thinking of what he may do to me
I stretched the PIC to him and he first looked at me like I’d gone out of my mind , then collected it and looked into it
He arched his brow as he saw it and looked into my face
“Where did you get this?” He asked
“We took it together when we were young” I replier
“Oh! ” he exclaimed and stared into the pic like someone trying to recollect something
Dante approached us and he handed over the PIC to Dante
“Wow!” Dante examined as he looked into the pic
“She wouldn’t give up, she’s smart” Dante said and I look confused
“I never knew you still Love me. How in the world can I forget you , it’s a plan between Dante and I, I’m sorry for hurting you yesterday” Rafael said and he stood and hugged me
Is this a kinda dream. For real ?
I received the hug sullenly
“I never stopped loving you ” He confess
“I’m sorry for breaking up with you then, I Love you so much” I said and we hugged ourselves tighter
