English Dialogue "I Did Not Mean To Hurt You"

"I Did Not Mean To Hurt You"

 

“Hello … Yustita!” Lucy’s voice surprised me. Why not? She never comes so early like this morning. She usually comes a few minutes before the bell rings.

“Hi! What is wrong? You don’t look yourself today. Why did you come so early today?”

“My father gave me a lift. By the way,. have you heard anything about “Elsa?”

“What is the matter with her?” I asked. ”Haven’t you heard? Everyone at school has,” she replied.

“What is it? Would you tell me, please?” I begged her.

“O.K., She is falling in love with Iwan. Don’t you know? She is your classmate, isn’t she?”

“You are kidding! I can’t believe it is true. As far as I know, she is a calm girl. But… how about Iwan’s response?” I asked her

“Wow….I don’t know. Please ask him yourself. Iwan and you belonging to the same volleyball club, don’t you? But I think he pays no special attention to her, since he loves somebody else,” she replied.

“Who is she?” I asked

“Well,…you’d better ask him yourself. The bell will be ringing soon,” she answer hurriedly and ran to her classroom.

Lucy is not my classmate. She is in IPA class (Science) department while I am in language department.

The break finally ended. One by one my friends entered the classroom. It was very noisy in the classroom. The teacher was absent and there was no special assignment.

“Tita…, are you going to play volleyball this afternoon?”, Elsa asked

“Yes, What can I do for you?”

“I want to give this letter to Iwan. Will you help me give it to him?”, Elsa begged me

“Yes, I will. Believe me, I am as good as Mr. postman”, I said with a smile.

”Thanks a lot for your help”

“No, problem”

In the afternoon, I met Iwan in the volleyball court. He was smiling when I approached him.

“Iwan…!”, I called him

“Yes, what’s wrong?”, he came to me with a smile.

“Here is a letter for you”, I said while handing it to him

“Who is it from?”, Iwan requested

“Please read it yourself,” I said

“Well, is it from your close friend?” Iwan requested

“Right”, I replied shortly

Iwan was smiling when he looked at me. I was a bit annoyed with his smile.

A week had passed when Elsa came to me and asked about her letter.

“How about the letter? I wonder why he hasn’t answer it yet?”

“I am afraid I don’t know. I haven’t met him for a week. But I promise I will ask about it as soon as I meet him.

“Don’t forget it, Tita!”

One evening, Iwan dropped by my house to return a book which he borrowed a few days before. “Iwan, have you answered Elsa’s letter I gave you a few days ago?”

“Sorry, …I have had no time to write it. I’d rather say…I don’t love her, but I love someone else,” he replied.

“May I know who?”

“Well, you will know everything soon. Sorry,…I must be off now. Give my best regard to your parents. See you tomorrow”

“Yes, I will. See you”.

When I was studying that evening, I found a letter in the book which Iwan returned. I was really surprised when I read it….

Dear Yustita Indriani,

Thanks a lot of your kindness. But I am so sorry to let you know that I do not love your friend.

If you really want to know the girl who I like best, her name is YUSTITA INDRIANI, the one who is reading this letter now.

Yes, Tita, I do love you. I have wanted to say it to you directly but you never gave me a chance to do so.

Well, I’m waiting for your answer, dear.

With Love,

Iwan Pradita

Oh my God! What should I do? Do I like him? Maybe, but how about Elsa? She is my classmate and my good friend. Its hurt to know this. Oh, no….I  will not do it. And tomorrow, I will tell him. I must find time to say it.

Iwan, I don’t  mean to hurt you. I can’t love you, please don’t hate me. Let’s be friend till the end of time, but don’t love me.

I can’t do that, you know.  Oh God, help me explain to him. I really don’t know what I must do when I meet Elsa tomorrow
