Great Expectations

I was in a plane bound to Italy, I already have a reservations at the Hotel Venice. I will meet somebody, he was staying at the Rome apartment. I was going to meet my bestfriend, he told me he has a very important news to tell me. We have been friends since high school. When we were in college we each had different relationships but nothing lasts. I got a job in New York as a finance manager in a telecommunications company and he has been working as a computer programmer in big computer company in New Jersey. Each year we usually go to any Euporean countries and explore the wonder of a different world. But last year we weren’t able to travel because I was given a more sensitive project. And this time I made it a point to spend some time with him, I realized I was missing him badly. When we met at the cafeteria of Hotel Florence, I was expecting he would propose to me.

I found out all these years I was in love with my best friend. Then what he told me shocked and hurt me deeply. He was actually inviting me to his wedding. He told me that he had loved me since we were in high school but I was too busy to notice his efforts. He had waited for years for me to recognize the signals he had patiently shown to me but I was a career woman and he thought love has no space in my life. After his confessions, I couldn’t speak.
