They say that love knows no age, and you cannot choose whom to love, you cannot fake it, you cannot forced someone to love nor forced yourself to love someone else.
It was summer time and I am assigned to send the twins to their piano tutorial. My Mother, can't keep up with the kids at home during the summer, as she needed to attend some errands on her cake business. Don't get her wrong, she just couldn't take off away with her business and still wants to personally manage it on mornings and after the tutorial she would join them on pools or whatever activities those, petty kids wants.
I am 19 years old btw and the twins I am talking about is my sisters, yes kids because we have a 9 age gaps. They called them the miracle babies, because my Mother almost lost her life conceiving them. Sending them to the place of tutorial, was a boring thing to do. But I found it interesting today, as I have seen, someone that catches my attention.
"Hi are you sending them off to the tutorial too? Kids are so insatiable! They can't be tamed at home. They don't lose energies!" That someone keeps on talking and talking while I am looking intently on her face to the movement of her lips. And I was like I was starstruck. My 19 year old heart, dribble fast, erratic, and It was like I am having the most awaited free throw that would change the whole course of a basketball game. I felt so nervous, and feel like the spot light is on me.
She told me that her name is Kim, 30 years old, and she needs to send her daughter and son to the piano tutorial too, so she can continue to work on her Mothers business which she now managed. She said that she was undergoing with the divorce because her ex husband, James, went away to China (pachina) as she joked. But she looked so sad, while telling that her husband have chosen another family over theirs. But it was all good, because she can managed, her parents doesn't seem to mind too, because she was their only daughter and can take care of them. And for James doesn't have the balls to man up, forgot what he actually has is a gem.
I can't believe that a small girl, like that is already a wife. With, two children. She looks so adorable and look like she doesn't age. I was mesmerized by her beauty and her ability to tell her life in just a split second we've met. Who would do that?
Everyday from then on, I was so excited to send my siblings to the tutorial, hoping that I would see her eventually. And one time I am glad her car is in the car wash so I grabbed and volunteered to send them where they are living. She is a good host and can entertain very well. She was affectionate that made me even more attracted to her.
Day by day, night by night. All I can think was Kim. Her cute adorable and talkative self. Sometimes when I can't take it, I would make the twins as an excuse to visit them on their flower shop business. I always wanted to see Kim and she was always accommodating. She treat us, me and my siblings like her own children. And we've been friends for more than weeks, we talk a lot about her life in the park near the tutorial club, and I can't believe that the summer would gone so fast, and nearly ending.
Being unable to see Kim because I would go to school and the piano tutorial would end , I fear that I won't see her again, I feel like my mind will be blown out, a day more if I didn't tell Kim that I like her. That I really really like her. No I love her. So much.
My impulsive age attacked and I started to looked over around our house, sell some junks, and got money from my Mothers wallet, to buy her some gift. I asked my uncle Alex if he knows what girls like the most and what is the perfect gift that he always give to his girls. Btw Uncle Alex is about Kim's age and he would know the best ideas I should give to Kim! "Uhm I gift my girl friends a two piece type bikini?" He answered. So I rushed to the mall and to my dismay those cost a lot! I blamed the summer for I don't have money to buy some. I wonder why those piece of clothing cost more than my big shirt? And I starred at my money and decided that I still need to save up to buy that gift.
Until the day has come I can afford to buy a red bikini, as they say red underwear are lucky.
I have set it all made up a balloons and a letter and would confess to her on the park before the end of the summer. Where we usually wait for the kids to be finished on the tutorials. I asked her to go to the area earlier than usual. She just don't know whats happening but she agreed.
She arrived at the area, and I gave her the balloon and my gift. And as she opened the note letters...
You're so sweet. She said and smile.
To be continued...
