I never tell anyone about my amazing boyfriend
My school friends might know him way before i get to know him but now i know him better than anyone else. Faris has been my amazing, the coolest boyfriend whom i never have enough words to describe him honestly. We are not in a normal relationship. We are currently living miles away from each other- to be exact; in a different time zone (GM+9)
Being physically apart, I feel like he’s right beside me. It doesn't feel like we are actually living away from each other. But, sometimes it does feel like I’m alone. It’s actually not his fault but more or less it’s just myself feeling that way. I always feel lonely when it's a full house. I always feel lonely when my friends are around.
My friends once said to me (cause i love IKEA date) that i should never ever have a date at IKEA and eat the chicken wings (if you know the chicken wings are a bit tough) but i didn't listen to that obviously. One day, I brought him to IKEA to have an IKEA date which I had been waiting to have (I like IKEA meatballs so much) but my boyfriend wanted to try the chicken wings so I said okay then. And omg though i knew the chicken wings were tough like rubber, i saw him enjoying that and forcing me to eat them too which I contemplated many times. It’s not cool or “ayu” to eat chicken wings with hands and etc while dating i thought.
I was wrong. My friends were wrong. All I needed was a Faris, deboning or more like ripping the chicken wings so that it’d be smaller and easier to bite. All I needed was my boyfriend. All I need is Faris. That's why my boyfriend is the most amazing and the coolest guy ever. He’s not the kind of guy with sweet words but he's a man with wise words. We often talk about serious things at 2AM and he’d be the one with wise thought. I’d be talking nonsense when it was 2AM but my man ain't that. Also, he’s more like the kind of guy who acts sweetly and kindly. His gesture melts my heart the most. I think the memories of our first date would always be my favourite part of our story.
Being apart and only able to meet him maybe twice a year has made things even worse now. Uncertainty of when he’s going to come back. Well, it’s corona time now and it’s difficult to come back from oversea. I miss him dearly. All we do now is communicate. But here’s the most challenging part of the story. People say communication is the key to a good and healthy relationship. Okay we do talk in fact every single day. Sometimes, I thought he didn't care about me but actually he does. Because he’s not that good with words that I’d misunderstand him so many times. Way too much I guess. Honestly, he just wants to make sure that I know that he’s there with me maybe not physically but emotionally and virtually he’s there.
I am a girl with the thought of “Things that cannot be seen aren't there” So does love really exist? That’s the thing I learn, people express their love to their significant ones differently. Some express them with words, some give presents as symbolic of their heart and some act lovingly to show that they do love their other half.
I think me and Faris have different ways expressing our love to each other. I’m the kind who’d write lengthy message but Faris is the kind of guy who’d buy me flowers, bring me out to eat, accompany to watson to buy things that I already have, spend time with me on the phone (tsk this is real ldr thingy) I’m truly grateful for all of these. For real. Alhamdulillah, he’s been my amazing. the coolest boyfriend i ever have. To more years of spending time with you virtually or not, I’m okay with it. If it’s you, I’ll enjoy every single moment. Doesn't matter you're far away or right there beside me.
To my amazing boyfriend, Faris. I hope I’ve been an amazing partner to you too. I wish we’ll have greater years ahead and become successful together in the future.
