Hristoforos waited for awhile before he stepped down of his car which he borrowed from his father. It was his first time to visit Boryana in her home and he was hoping things will not be misconstrued for something else apart from a friendship that he wants to flourish between him and Boryana.
He knew it was still infantile to step up and pursue his feelings for her. It has only been three months since they started hanging out in campus together and somehow he never made advances nor lead Boryana into believing that he was interested in her. He did not want to rush her but he was likewise vigilant of any possible competitor who might be courting the lass. She has a striking beauty but her being meek and mild made her a difficult flower to go near to. Hristoforos did not take advantage of their friendship and he was not abusing the trust Boryana gave him. He has managed to screen his feelings by holding them back and rawhide every inspiring moments he had with her.
He waited for the time to strike at exactly 7 ‘o clock then alighted from the vehicle and went to the door step of the Shehtovas. The door was answered after the first bell and an elderly woman in her late sixties opened the door.
“Good evening Ma’am. My name is Hristoforos and I am the schoolmate of Boryana.” As polite as ever he introduced himself and before he could ask if the girl was around, the woman greeted her back and let him in.
“I was there on your graduation. Congratulations by the way for being the Class Valedictorian. I am Boryana’s aunt,” and with that they shook hands and she lead the lad to the living room where her husband was, reading the day’s paper.
She introduced him to her husband and the two exchanged pleasantries. Momentarily thereafter, Boryana appeared from the foyer and re-introduced her friend. After telling the couple they were going out with some friends, they excused themselves and drove out.
The two were joining some of their friends and Iva, Boryana’s cousin from her mother’s side, and Iva’s boyfriend. It was their first time to go out together with some of their friends and nobody ever suspected that there was something romantic going on between the two, at least, not from Boryana’s end.
After watching a movie, the group proceeded to a local bar and had a round of beers then separated and headed home respectively. Hristoforos, Boryana, Iva and her boyfriend were on a convoy as the other couple’s respective houses were along the way to Boryana’s house.
As they were alone in the road, Boryana popped a question that Hristoforos never saw was coming. “Why haven’t you ever been in a relationship, Hrist?”
He gazed back at her and saw her beautiful face illumined by the street lights they passed through and unmindfully and without hesitation he replied, “Maybe because it is only now that I met you.”
