8:30 pm, Sunday.
"Mama, what's a soulmate?" 5-year old Anna curiously asked her mother, Idun.
"Well, a soulmate is an imperfect person, but you love him perfectly. This person will see you at your worst, but brings you at your best." Idun said, while tucking the blanket closer to her daughters.
"I don't understand at all, mama. Soulmates doesn't exist." 8-year old Elsa piped in, pouting while arms crossed and confusion expressed on her face.
Idun giggled at the reaction of her eldest daughter "That's where you're wrong, Elsa." Idun looked at her two adorable daughters with a smile, "Girls, when you're eighteen, a tattoo will randomly appear on your body. This tattoo is composed with words, first words that your soulmate will say to you. So you'll know him, when you meet him. Here, let me show you my tattoo."
Idun sat at the side of the bed and scooted a little closer to her daughters and rolled up her right long sleeve. Neatly tattooed on Idun's right lower arm, are elegant, italicized and bolded words with a simple font.
"You know, Miss Idun, if you will allow me to marry you, I'll marry you right now. Will you marry me?"
Elsa and Anna oohed in amazement at the sight of their mother's tattoo, Elsa looked at her mother, "Mama, did you agree to marry Papa the first time you saw him?"
Idun smiled at little Elsa "Of course not, dear. Even though he was my soulmate, I wouldn't marry a man that I just met. When I asked him why he wanted to marry me, he said that the first time he saw me, he knew it wasn't love at first sight, he had loved me all along." Idun explained while smiling, reminiscing the memories of yesterday.
Elsa and Anna smiled at the love story of their parents, wishing that someday that might happen to each one of them in the future. "Mama, why does this tattoo appear?" Anna asked her mother, curiosity framing the features of the two little girls.
Idun thought about it, "Hmm, some people say that the gods made it to destine each person to another. So the two people can easily find each other with the first words they say. Others say that Cupid got so tired of shooting heart arrows, he just magically summons a tattoo composed of first words that your soulmate will say to you." Idun and the two girls giggled at the last sentence. Suddenly, little Anna yawned. Idun glanced at the wall clock, 9 pm. "Okay kids, that's enough time for story-telling. Both of you have school tomorrow." The two girls whined, "I'll tell more next time, okay?"
"Okay!" The two girls happily replied while making themselves comfortable on their bed before lying, Idun smiled.
Idun tucked her daughters and kissed their foreheads and bid them goodnight before leaving the room with a small smile.
-After 16 years-
6:30 pm, Saturday.
Elsa was driving to her house from work. After a long day of managing her boutique, assisting her customers, and thinking of new ideas for her clothing line, Elsa was quite exhausted. But she can rest all day tomorrow, because she closes her boutique on Sundays so she and her employees can rest or spend some quality time with the family. Elsa is quite known in the fashion industry for her unique clothing line and amazing gowns and suits which some celebrities wear. While Elsa was waiting for the stop light to go green, her phone beeped. Elsa checked her phone, and it was Anna who texted.
From Anna:
I'm home early, so i'll be cooking dinner! :D
To Anna:
Okay! I'm on my way home, i'll be there less than an hour :)
From Anna:
Okay! Be safe while driving! :D
Elsa peeked at the stop light; giving the green light, Elsa began to drive again. Elsa smiled to herself after seeing the last text of her sister, Anna. Even though she shut herself from everyone after their parents died in a plane crash six years ago after her 18th birthday, Anna was still there for her. Elsa was so affected of her parents' loss, she never talked to anyone. But after years of solitude, Elsa realized that she doesn't need to go through this alone, because Anna was always right there for her. Long story short, they're back to normal, closer than ever.
Elsa arrived at her house less than an hour, just like she guessed, and parked the car inside her garage. Elsa opened her car door and swiftly closed it, and pressed her car and garage remote to lock the car and close the garage door while walking to the porch step of the front door.
Elsa opened the front door and closed it when she walked inside the house, "I'm home!" Elsa half-shouted across the two-story house.
"I'm in the kitchen!" Anna said with a ringing voice, Elsa went to the kitchen to see Anna wearing a green apron while cooking dinner; Anna smiled to Elsa as she entered the kitchen.
Elsa sniffed the air and asked, "Hey Anna, is it French onion soup you're cooking?"
"I knew you would say that." Anna said as she smirked and glanced at Elsa while stirring the ladle inside the pot, Elsa smiled and jokingly punched Anna's arm, which Anna avoided and laughed, followed by a nod as a reply to her question. Then they both talked about how their day went, ate their dinner, and the usual humorous talks.
After eating dinner, Elsa was helping Anna clean up the kitchen. Anna suddenly spoke "Hey Elsa, I might come home late tomorrow."
Elsa grinned while wiping the dining table, "Let me guess, you have a date with Kristoff tomorrow?" Anna jokingly stuck her tongue out, and laughed followed by a nod as a reply.
It was three years ago since Anna met her soulmate, Kristoff, in a coffee shop.
It was a funny story actually, Anna accidentally bumped into Kristoff, resulting to spilling her coffee on Kristoff's shirt. Anna hastily apologized again and again; then Anna slowly stopped speaking when her thoughts processed what Kristoff had said to her, matching the words on her tattoo. Anna's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, literally. The only word Anna could muster was wow. Then they started knowing each other that day, and the rest is history.
"Yeah, go ahead. But be home before midnight, and let Kristoff drive you home, just like the usual, okay? Oh, and tell him I said hi" Elsa, snapping back to reality, said as she turned her head to the side to look at Anna drying the dishes, and smiled.
Anna smiled back, then curiously asked "Okay, sure I'll tell him. But what are you gonna do tomorrow?"
Elsa just shrugged her shoulders, and walked towards the refrigerator to see its contents. "I'll do some grocery shopping in the afternoon, since our food storage, and chocolates, are getting low. After that, maybe I'll walk around the nearby park, as usual." Elsa explained as she closes the refrigerator door.
Anna perked up at the sudden mention of 'chocolates' and suddenly turned around to face Elsa "Ooh! Buy some chocolate cakes at Tiana's Bakeshop!" Anna brightly said while fist pumping in the air, as Elsa dramatically gasps, "How dare you remind me to buy chocolate cakes! Of course I won't forget to buy chocolate cakes!" Elsa said as if she was pretending to be hurt while her hand was pressed to her chest, and a fake frown framing her features.
Anna crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow; the two girls locked eyes, and began to laugh because of the platinum-blonde's antic.
"Oh, by the way, I'll bring home take-outs tomorrow night. So you don't have to cook for breakfast the next day." Anna said silvery as she finished drying the dishes, and putting it back to where it belongs.
"Okay, I'm cool with that. Oh, by the way, need any help for the outfit, sis?" Elsa, knowing the answer of her question, asked as she smirked.
Anna, done with the dishes, turned around and shot Elsa a knowing look and smirked, "Oh dear sister, you always know what to say." Anna dramatically said as she put the back of her hand on her forehead, and the other hand clutched to her chest while turning her head to the side, as if she was a hopeless lady in a TV series.
This earned Anna a light smack in the arm from Elsa, and the two just laughed it off. Then the two of them went upstairs to Anna's bedroom. Since Anna trusted her sister for her fashion skills, Elsa always helps Anna in choosing her outfit for her date. After finding the right outfit for Anna, the Arendelle sisters bid each other good night, and Elsa went to her own bedroom to sleep peacefully.
Night went by, morning came, and then afternoon. Elsa woke up at 1 pm; she stretched her arms up as she stood up and went to her own bathroom.
She showered for a few minutes, and blow-dried her hair before stepping out of the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe, and went to her closet to choose her clothes. After choosing, Elsa slipped in her pair of underwear, and wore a fitted, blue-striped shirt partnered with black pants, followed by strapping a snowflake-designed wristwatch- which Anna gave her on her 21st birthday -on her left wrist, and wore a pair of white sandals.
After braiding her platinum-blonde hair and fully checking herself on a standing mirror, she grabbed her cream tote bag and car keys on the side table beside her queen-sized bed. Elsa left her bedroom and descended the stairs, and went to the dining room in a couple of strides to see that Anna left her some food.
Elsa smiled, seeing the note from Anna above the covered plate
"I know that you're sleeping in since you're tired from yesterday, so I made you brunch! Have fun in the park, stay safe as always! Love you! :) -Anna
Elsa ate her brunch, and washed and dried her plate after she was finished. Then texted Anna a "thank you, it was delicious" and "you two stay safe too, love you too" then headed outside before locking the front door. Elsa pressed her garage remote, then her car remote and went to the garage to get her car.
Elsa opened her car door, and inserted the key in the key hole, then turned it to make the engine start. She made herself comfortable in her seat before swiftly closing the door, then she adjusted her rear-view mirror and locked all car doors. She looked at the back as she started backing up, when her way was clear, she began to drive smoothly.
Elsa drove for 20 mins. to the supermarket, then she parked her car, and locked it before going inside the supermarket. Elsa grabbed the nearest push cart, and fished her grocery list inside her bag and began her shopping.
Elsa finished her grocery shopping within 20 minutes, her last two minutes spent with grabbing her and Anna's favourite chocolates. Carrying grocery bags, Elsa went to her car and opened the trunk to place the groceries then closed it. She left the supermarket and drove home but stopped by at Tiana's Bakeshop to buy chocolate cakes and beignets to eat while driving and strolling at the park later.
Elsa arrived at her house within 15 minutes. Like she always does, she parked inside the garage. She grabbed the chocolate cakes and beignets before opening the trunk to get the groceries, and locked her car then left the garage before closing it while walking to the porch step. Inserting the key inside the keyhole, Elsa opened her door and swiftly closed it before heading to the kitchen. When she arrived at the kitchen, she began placing all the food on their rightful places. After finishing in a few minutes Elsa breathed "finished" to herself.
Elsa glanced at the wall clock, 3:20 pm. Nice, Elsa thought to herself, I have more time to stroll around the park. She grabbed her house key and paper bag of beignets on the nearby table and fished her phone inside her bag, and then she walked to the front door and went outside before locking it. Elsa walked to the park for 7 minutes, as she arrived; she observed that more people were strolling around. So she searched for an unoccupied bench, and she saw one near by a tree.
Elsa made her way to the unoccupied bench, and sat there while happily munching beignets and observing people around the park. After finishing her last beignet, Elsa accidentally glanced at her palm. Just like her mother described: elegant, italicized and bolded words with a simple font.
"Uhm... miss, can I?"
Elsa gazed down at her tattoo as she skimmed it with her left hand, remembering the story that her mother told her and Anna when they were young. It's been six years since she turned eighteen, six years since she was tattooed at her right hand with the first words of her soulmate to her by an unknown entity or whatsoever. But he never came in the past six years, sometimes Elsa believed that her soulmate will never come. Sometimes, people ask her about her soulmate, and she jokingly replied "He got lost on his way while looking for me." and redirected the topic to the other person.
Then Anna met her soulmate, so this gave Elsa a little hope, but this little hope eventually faded away since Elsa was so focused on managing her boutique, designing new clothes, and taking care of her little sister.
Elsa pretended that her tattoo didn't exist for the past six years. Because she thought that the less she cared about the tattoo, the less she expects the arrival of a man who is destined for her. In other words, her so-called 'soulmate'
Elsa thoughts were interrupted as she sensed someone near her, she looked up and saw a man around her age wearing a blue t-shirt, brown trousers, and slippers. But not just any man, a handsome man with white hair, pale skin, and deep blue eyes. The two of them accidentally made eye-contact. Elsa was the first one who broke it off, averting her eyes to her twiddling thumbs like she was busy with it, feeling embarrassed for observing his appearance.
The white-haired man, attracted to the beauty of the platinum-blonde lady sitting at the bench in front of him, face flushed red from embarrassment for staring so long, snapped back to reality and cleared his throat and said something Elsa has never heard for the past six years.
"Uhm... miss, can I?" The man said as he pointed his index finger at the unoccupied space on her left side.
Elsa, who didn't look up and paid attention because she was still embarrassed, just nodded and felt him sit, leaving a little space between them. Elsa then processed what the man had said to her a few seconds ago, her eyes widened as she gazed down again at her right palm. Elsa straightened her back, inhaled and exhaled deeply.
Elsa sarcastically thought to herself, Hey, look at that. My soulmate has finally arrived, and he's kind of handsome. Then she thought of something, Maybe I should talk to him, and show him my tattoo. Debating with her inner thoughts, Elsa chose to talk to him. She slowly turned to the man on her left side, and to her surprise, the man was staring at her. He quickly snapped his head back to his phone on his hand, followed by running the other hand through his hair.
Elsa, pretending to ignore what just happened, mustered all her voice to speak, "H-hey... you said this a while ago ...right?" Elsa wobbly said as she looked down while showing her right palm where her tattoo is printed, too embarrassed to stare at his face.
Surprisingly, the man looked at Elsa's tattoo, then to her face, and brightly replied. "Yeah, and you also said this one to me." Then he showed his left lower arm to her, Elsa looked at his lower arm, and softly gasped. It's a tattoo of her first words to him. Elsa slowly looked up to his face, and ...holy macaroni.
Elsa was greeted by striking deep blue eyes and sparkling teeth so white as fresh fallen snow.
"Hi, my name's Jack Frost." Jack introduced himself as he grinned to Elsa, and raised his hand to shake hands with her.
"Elsa Arendelle." Elsa said, allowing herself to smile, and raised her hand to shake Jack's hand.
"Well, pleasure to meet you, soulmate." Jack jokingly said. Elsa laughed lightly, followed by a smile reaching up to her eyes.
"The pleasure's all mine, soulmate."
