Prussia – Daffodil

The sun was shining brightly, lightening the blue sky as well as the pure white clouds. It shone down to the earth, basking it with its light and heat. Though it was a sunny day, your mind felt gloomy. It was all because of a pile of assignments you had. Sure you had Eliza as a helper, but really, it felt like nothing could enter your mind again for it was already full.

You were sitting under the tree and were listening to calm songs from your phone. You thought it was a good idea to ease your mind. While you were listening and looking at the sky, a loud voice came from the cafeteria. You stopped the song and quickly turned to see whose it was.

Well, you could guess it though. Your eyes laid on a group of three men, but from those, your eyes only focus on one. The one who had silver hair, ruby eyes, and a smirk on his face… Gilbert. From what you saw, you could tell that he was talking about his awesome self again. He was loud, the same as Alfred. Actually, you prefer quiet ones or maybe ones like Eliza, not that that quiet and not that loud. But Gilbert was, like, special in your opinion.

He was always positive, friendly, funny, nice, kind and whatever it was. Even though you always heard him talking about how awesome he was, like someone arrogant, but you didn’t see it that way. He might be annoying to some people, especially Eliza, but for you, it’s not.

Why was he so good in your eyes? Well, that was because you had liked him for some months now. You accidentally met him in person when you were going to the library a year ago. You bumped into him and he was so charming back then. However, being a person who was too shy to talk to men, you almost never had a chat with him after that. You knew a lot about him from Eliza, but she always warned you not to get near him, as she whispered about killing him if he touched you.

You appreciated the thought, but you couldn’t just make his image out of your mind. You liked him… no, maybe it was something greater than that. It was love. You really wanted to get near him or just had a short chat with him, but he was always with his friends, Francis and Antonio. They were popular among girls, including Gilbert of course. Whenever you wanted to talk to him alone, they were always there and then the girls would surround them. It’s not going well.

You heard him shouted his name and the word awesome again. There were lots of people surround him and it made you difficult just to approach him. And one more thing actually…

You saw him stood on the table and posed. It was a funny sight, yes, but the next sight made you almost cry. There was a girl, beside the table. She was just laughing together with others; also she was one of your friends. She was suddenly picked up onto the table by Gilbert as he shouted, “The only one that is as awesome as me, is mein awesome girlfriend here!!” he hugged her waist and the people cheered.

You packed your stuff and quickly went to your next class. You couldn’t stand seeing the scene. You were obviously jealous, that’s right, but what could you do? Maybe he didn’t even know you and he already chose her from the start. You couldn’t blame your friend for dating him. It’s your fault for being so closed and shy.

After school, you walked straight to your house. You entered the house and what caught your eyes was a vase full of yellow flowers. You approached it and looked at it for a while until your sister called, “(name), what are you doing?”

“Oh, sis, what’s this?” you asked pointing at the flowers.

“I just bought them earlier. I thought they were lovely and since our house didn’t have that much decoration, having one won’t hurt, right?”

You nodded and looked at the flowers again, “What’s the name?”

“Huh?”

“Of the flowers?”

“Daffodil, why’d you ask?”

“Nothing… just… want to know,” you told her then you walked upstairs to your room, leaving your sister.

She stared at your figure until you were out of her sight and said, “What’s with her?”

```

After doing things, you ended up in your bed, your laptop on your lap. You were too lazy to do your assignment so you searched something else. “Hmm… Daffodil… Daffodil…” You thought of the flowers the whole day. Some of them reminded you of how you usually act, looking down to the floor and was too shy to talk. You found its description and read it. You found it interesting as you read further. Then you saw, ‘What does daffodil flower mean?’ Curiosity got the best of you and you clicked it. The same explanation you had read was written, so you scroll down and finally found what you needed.

‘Aside of my explanation above, Daffodil, like other flowers, also has its own meaning in flower languages. And despite its beautiful looks, daffodil flower means…’ you read it and suddenly the urge to cry got bigger. Before you could even realize, tears were falling down your cheeks. You wiped them but new ones kept falling. So this is what I experience right now…

‘…… Daffodil flower means unrequited love.’
