A happening... a decision
One school day... during CL Class...
The teacher asked the students to close their eyes and relax. Almost all of the students thought "Another meditation stuff... pif..." what they didn't know is that it was something more....
"Imagine that you are a bed-ridden patient, lying in a bed... waiting for your time..." the CL teacher said. "The doctor tells you that you only have 2 hours and a Half to live who are the 4 people that you would like to see and talk to before you die?" He continues...
One student in particular named Melvin picked the 4 most important people in his life besides God. "Mom, Dad, Elle, Min" and he imagined them at first he thought everything was ok... but he was slowly swept by the tide of emotions while telling to each one of them in his mind his parting words.
"Only an hour left to live.... says the doctor to you... choose the 2 people you want to speak and talk too..." The CL Teachers says calmly... background music plays and it slowly affects Melvin... and some other people in the class.
"Elle, Min..." Said Melvin to his mind... and talked to them silently. Unknowingly tears brimmed his eyes... chocking it back... his head felt light and he felt as if he were really in the scene... he was not acting. His emotions carried him and words poured out of his mind... into what seemed to be real.
"Half an hour... just one person.... who?" Said the Teacher softly...
"Who? Both are close to my heart and very important to me... both......" Melvin thought sweat was slowly beading in his head in small amounts... he didn't know who... but his heart took over... and whispered a name.... "Min.................." and Melvin was so shocked.... his bestfriend since he was in pre-school. Since he was 3 years old.... he again imagined everything he wanted to tell her. Every last thing... tears burned his skin.... as he taught... explained.... imagined something that felt so real.
"Only 5 minuites to live... give that person a gift he/she won't forget and will bring wherever she is... what she is doing and whatever happens..." Said the Teacher calmly and pacing softly... like the silent beat of death creeping... and drawing near.
"What if I kissed her? That is rude you silly little boy!!!!...." Melvin thought hard... concentrated for it was so hard then.... "Knowing her since I was young.... I will give her the gift of spending my time with her... the good memories...." It was too long and just one.... so he confessed and surrendered to his feelings.... "Min... I will always love and ever will." The gift of love... his love to her that he once confessed he thought was gone but was always there. And forever remained not as friends or sister and brothers as she said.
But now he confessed "All this times I want to be by your side. Wipe the tears away from your eyes as you cry. Hold you close and drive away your fears. You walk in the rain... in fear that someone will see you cry and that someone will see your fears and weaknesses in life. You are not alone... I am here and I will hold your hand and never let go of you. That is how much I care for you... and as slang words put it... how much I give a damn about you... you mean so much to me... you just don't know how much." Until Melvin couldn't say anymore words and just hugged her in her mind and somehow let her feel his emotions and he let his emotions flow... he was almost to the point of crying.... as sadness and loss racked him... care... love... and everything. Every bit of kept and hidden thought in his mind and heart and even his very soul he opened them all... confessed and surrendered.... told everything... felt emotions flow through him....
"5 Seconds what shall you want to tell him/her your last word or phrase... tell that person now..." Said the CL Teacher... silently...
"Min... I will always love you... even though you never believed much that I do love you..." Melvin actually felt himself being pulled away lightly back to his body... he felt the tears....
"As you slowly close your eyes look at the person... what is his/her expression? What does she/he feel?" Said the CL Teacher...
Min was crying... really crying... smiling and crying... for reasons she only knows... and Melvin thought... "I always hoped of marrying you even though we are still young... I think of this... you are the perfect wife... not for me but for any man. I can see my wife... she is so beautiful... except that she has tears on her face... don't cry... I am always here... I will always love you... my first love and always the one I shall love till after the end.... Min........."
Melvin felt himself slide back to his body... he was very sad... calm... for he confessed the only part of his life he denied and tried to hide.... his feelings for his bestfriend Min.
"Inhale and exhale.... breath in and breath out.... feel the air coming in and out of you... now as you slowly feel that breathe and air or wind.... slowly.... slowly open your eyes and write the 4 people you picked. Then crumple the 2 you didn't choose.... then crumple the one you didn't pick... then with the one you picked... write that person's name on top it could be in codes or something.... and below it... on the space below it write your gift for him/her or to him/her and below that write what you last said to him/her."
Melvin did it all over again... the emotions and memory fresh in his mind and heart.... and his soul. He couldn't stop the tears... they never flowed or fell... but in him... he was weeping and was happy at the same time... for he now confessed and surrendered to his feelings and stopped denying.... he loves Min with all his heart.... and is wishing that she is reading this entry of his....
