Enchanted

Author's note

Guys just wanna tell you… I am not that kind of person who's fluent in English. So, expect that my words aren't that DEEP as anyone else does. Though my thought aren't that clear sometimes, (when you would encounter some) please understand. My story contains everything that comes from my heart. Hope you would like it.

NPOV

It was the 1st day of December when all people seemed to be so busy. So busy buying gifts, decorations, new clothes and everything most people would do and give during Christmas. I really loved this month for I had all my nice memories stocked in this month with my dearest dad. He died because of some stupid serial guy who murdered him. Though at first, I didn't accept the fact that he died, but as time pass, I knew how to accept and deal with these things better than before. Now I lived with my mom, who's been a loving and caring mother to me despite of those problems we've encountered. We lived in a small house that is more like a cozy rest house my dad worked hard for it before he died.

Going back to the present, I went out of our house, and took a short walk. Well, I feel that I'm kinda on the mood for some window shopping, and it's the exact time to call Vee who would not want to miss this.

I got my phone in my pocket and dialed her number.

"hey" I spoke.

"Oh, hi babe! How are ya?"

"Well, doing great, want to go for some shopping? I'm pretty sure that there would be a lot of things to buy at a good price"

"Exactly! Babe great timing! Cauze I'm suffering here running out of makeup"

"Well, I really guess you can't leave without those makeup kits on your closet, well, I'm gonna see you on the mall, would you bring your neon?"

"Yep, see me there in 5 minutes, bye!"

And that was how the call ended.

I walked on the streets, seeing people bringing so many shopping bags. I held my jacket, wrapping it against me. I went straight to the mall and sat on a bench nearby. I tried making myself comfortable on the bench, trying to warm myself. It was just exact seeing Vee running towards me.

"babe! Here!" she shouted.

We hugged each other and went straight to the clothes shop. Vee and I had a habit of checking on clothes though we would not buy it. We would look for the weirdest style that would make us very unique form anyone else. Vee bought a new scarf and a pair of skinny jeans. She also bought a new pair of sandals for her mom. I saw a very nice necklace made up of small beautiful stones and a heart curved with golden sprinkles of glitters where you could place a picture. I was about to get it when a saleslady stopped me.

"Excuse ma'am but that necklace is reserved to somebody else"

"Do you have any stock of this?"

"Well, that's one of a rare edition of our necklaces. These have been sold out about a week ago. You could choose others if you want"

"Oh…no thanks" I replied.

I seemed to be so disappointed. I really want to buy that for my mom. I know that she wants something very nice this Christmas. Vee saw me and grabbed me away. We were walking but that necklace just doesn't want to stop me from thinking about it. I ask Vee if we could split ways for 2 hours. She said yes and decided that we would just meet on the last fast chain located on the 2nd floor. I went straight to the bookstore to buy some new books. I'm really looking forward in buying new books to read. I saw a book that got my attention. The book has no title, and my dad just came through my mind.

Flashback

When I was about 5 years old, I went with my dad in a bookstore. Dad would just want to read books and tell their stories to me. But for this time, I am now the one who would read and tell them to dad. I saw a book with no title, and my dad saw it.

"Hm, do you want to buy this?" he approached.

"I don't even know the title" I replied.

"Well, this would be a good book"

"Why?"

"After reading, you're the one who would give its title"

"Do you think the author haven't decided any title?"

"No dear, the author would want to know how the reader describe and judge the book"

My dad gave a very sweet smile, but I didn't buy it for it was about time to go home…

I never thought that I would meet this book again. I got it and went around looking for more. I was really fascinated seeing so many books when…

"Ouch!"

I just bumped a guy beside me and dropped my book.

"Oh, sorry ma'am" he replied.

He picked the book and handed it to me. I can't see his face because of his baseball cap. By that, a new song played inside the store. I recognized it as "enchanted" by Taylor Swift. The guy disappeared on the crowd. The song plays its first lines.

"There I was again tonight,

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired and lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanted to meet you…"

This song seemed to relate about a while ago. I breathe deeply, got my book and went to the cashier. First, the necklace, second, the book and now that song. I just didn't expect that many things would stuff my mind. I would nearly bump everyone who would pass. Oh I really hate being absent-minded. It seems like my time would stop.
