She was busy making something out
of that one dollar note, perhaps an origami that she learnt years ago. Are you trying to make a heart shape out of
the note? he asked.
Just like a small kid reacting
after been caught for stealing candies, she pursed her lips trying to hide her
embarrassment. She wonder how he could do that all the time, the way he weaves
all the thoughts that have been occupying her scattered mind. Ironic still, he
kept saying ‘I can’t read your mind; you
seem to build walls around you’
There’s a familiar song playing
on the background but she couldn’t recall the exact title of the song. That
strains her thoughts not being able to recall the title of the song even though
she could remember the lyrics by heart. The
noise from the crowds doesn’t help much making her to get back those hands to
work on that one dollar again.
She lowered down her gaze,
pretending to concentrate on the note and not his eyes. Those eyes do wonders,
makes her feel like a glowing princess with a crystal crown. What makes her to turn
back to him for everything, just like the way the moon encircles the Earth, her
footsteps follows wherever his shadow goes. Perhaps this is what love is all
about. Maybe this is what all the poets are trying to convey in their words.
Finally everything started to make sense, all those tales written by man. The
sweet melancholic feeling when it comes to love. Maybe this is what written in
all the romantic books that’s struggling to be given a space in her wardrobe. Love
always has a way to attract the crowds.
This feeling is
like collecting shells along the seashore. She knew time is running out, in
fact the future of both of them to be together seems vague. She needs to find
as much shells as she could to be kept in a lovely Pandora box, shoved under
the bed and to be opened only when no one is around. That’s how she see this
moment as, too precious to not pay attention to it.
The sound of a fork been drop
forced her thoughts to come back to the present moment .She wants to make a
heart shape out of the note and give it to him. She wants him to keep that
heart shape note as her remembrance. But then, her hands kept on failing her.
She found him looking at her clumsy hands which are battling to make a perfect
heart shape out of the note. That makes her feel vulnerable; she can’t seem to
do anything when those eyes watch every movement of hers.
She gives up on the note and
passed the crumpled note back to him. Maybe this could be a sign, maybe both of
them are never meant to be together after all. Maybe he shouldn’t keep anything
that reminds him of her. That’s how paranoid she is, she always look out for a
sign, silent hints that God bestowed upon them.
‘You are just too pious,P.I.O.U.S’she remember him stressing out the
word by spelling it for her. How could this happen, a strong believer and a
logic thinker to be attracted towards each other? Again, maybe this is what
love is all about.
Out of a sudden, he breaks the
silence. He furrowed his brows and ask her what she thinks about him and
what makes her to fall for him.
‘Don’t ask me these questions, because I just have no answer for it. It
just happens’ she said even though she wants to say so much but she knew
words not helping her at all. She can’t express much verbally. It’s one of her
flaws. If he asks her to pen down her thoughts, maybe it will reach more than a
thousand pages.
‘Maybe you just admire me for who I am, maybe this could just be a plain
attraction’ he kept presenting her with facts and logic. He’s an open thinker,
he believes in reasons and consequences. He questions the rules set by the
world. But whenever the brain takes over his heart, he’s prone to hurt her even
more. And when the feeling she has for him been countered with logics, she will
be silent and let her tears to take over instead.
This is how it goes all the time.
Her expression will slowly soften his heart. The tears will bring him back to
her. Just in a split of seconds, his heart will slowly regains its place and he
knew this little girl with sparkling eyes adores him so much and it soothes
him.
Sometimes,knowing that someone
loves you so much could bring tears. And
so he will shed some tears for the love of his life. How could he doubt her
true love when her heart has already nested softly under his roof…..and this is
how it always ends all the time….
