Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.

“Hey, Mar, do you know that girl in front us?” Tarjo asked me.

“Yes. She’s in the same science class with me. Why?” I answered.

“I think im going to ask her to go prom with me? Would you mind to help?”

All I could do was  keep in silence. How could? Tarjo, one of my bestfriend. Maybe I could say he was my one and only bestfriend. Because too many fakeness in my life. Who didn’t recognize me? I’m Markeelah, most well-known girl in this school. I didn’t mean to brag, but that was truth and nobody couldn’t deny it.

“So how, Mar? But anyway, who will be your prom mate?” Tarjo keep asking.

“No, I dont know yet.”

“Seriously? You can ask Mandra or Jono, they both are crazy in love with you, right?”

Well, he said that those guys are crazy in love with me. I knew, they just wanted popularity.

Now I got stucked with life. Why love is blind? Too blind until he couldn’t see that I always here by his side. He never realized that I am perfect for him. But I didn’t want to dissapont Tarjo. Because he’s my one and only bestfriend.

“I will, Jo. Just wait and see.” I wasn’t sure with my own answer.

So after three weeks, Tarjo dated that girl named Suzy. Tarjo loved her because Suzy’s name is western and he thought that it was cool. And they planned to go prom together.

But one day, I shocked. Suzy had lunch with Mandra. And they were kissing and of course Tarjo didnt know. When I told him, he didn’t believe me at all. But he couldn’t deny when I showed him some photos that I took when Suzy kissed Mandra.

Tarjo dissapointed. He thought Suzy was a good girl. Tarjo don’t have any partner to go to prom then.

Then I talked to Tarjo that he didn’t need to go prom. Because I know it would make Tarjo hurt to see Suzy with another guy. But Tarjo said something that changed my life, “Markeelah, would you go to prom with me?”

I was speechless. Then Tarjo said, “It was a mistake to asked Suzy to go with me while actually my heart was taken by you. You know the real me inside. And I don’t want to make you my second choice. I love you.  But I couldn’t be honest to you because we are bestfriend and I don’t want to make it more complicated for you.”

I just couldn’t believe what was happened. Then I smiled and answered, “I had this feeling for a long time. I don’t mind spending some time with you. We’re friend and we’re in love and I think it doesn’t matter because love is blind.”
