Life After All
A typical St Valentine's day…. just as usually, by myself……..I, Joyce, is always single, throughout the life? May be? Oh god-ish, I'm only twenty-seven, but sounds so old? Huh?
Walking in the shopping mall, wondering around. Somehow, I just hate this kind of
festival. Festivals for lover, for families….blah,blah,blah…. Sadly say, this disgust me…
Just being too deep into my thought, I sense there is something 'block' my way.
'Oh,..' just as what I thought, I crashed into someone….'I'm sorry', I said.
The guy that I crashed into was on the floor, and seemed so painful.
'Amm, I'm really sorry, are u ok?' I asked. He put his head down, I really
wonder if I was so powerful to knock this 'man' down. 'ya...' was the only thing
he said, but from his way of responding, I know he wasn't. I blended my knees down, tried
to see his facial expression. 'Hey, can u get up?' I gave my hand to him. He finally pulled
his head up and looking at me. Whoa,... he is absolutely cool, thought he's wearing sunglass,
but a really delicate face sharpened my eyes. I was really shocked.
'Can u help me down to the banch over there?' he offered. Of course I wish to.
'Are u drunk?' that's the best I can think of...knowing this is the worst beginning of a conversation.
'Do I look so?' he grinned, somehow…. bitterly.
'U just looks kind of tired... 'I mummer..
'So weird, ar?' he signed….....
'Nooop,' I shaked my head to emphasis this..…….I even want to shout out the fact that--- he is so gorgeous…..Weird is not a word for him.
He wrinkled...'No need to that big respond..'
I know he notice that I keep looking to him……….shit
'Arr, u dropped this when u fell on the floor.' Thank god, I found something to distract his
Observation of me.
'Ooh, this.' He said. It was a box of luxurious chocolate.
'I am sorry I ruined it……. Your girlfriend must be very crossed.' I said.
'My girlfriend?!' He insisted.
'…Hey, today is Valentine's day, don't tell me u are buying this for yourself!!' I said.
He looked at me, and smiled. 'Can't I?!'
Oh, nooo, not this, I was nearly fainted. 'But why?' huh….what a stupid Q I asked…
'Caused I love sweeties, and besides, I don't have a girlfriend…….And u….' He smiled and talked. He was attracting me. Isn't he….firlting with me?
I was really blanked… I tried to look at the otherside, not showing my blushing face.
'Ammm, are you blushing?' He said in surprise.
He was rather stupid or scarcharistic. I really want to dig a hole and jump in. There was no way that he is single. This is not fair for a guy like him.
The I saw a toy shop. 'Ar, u wait a sec…'I quickly ran off to there and bought something.
When I am back, I hanged him a small doll.' Hey, here u go. Pay for the chocolate that I ruined.'
'Thanks, but I really don't into dollies..' he murmured. I rolled my eyes, oh I forgot that he said he doesn't have a girlfriend.
'Just give it back then, if u really don't like it. Besides I nearly forgot that u don't have a grilfriend.'I shouted.
He giggled. I love to see he laugh, but not in this circumstance. ..
He bursted,' Will that be too fair for u. U owned my a box of luxury chocolate.'
Ok, he is into materialistic la. I know the box of chocolate is far more expensive than my cheaply doll.
'OK, so, what do u want? I can't afford a lot.'
'What about a date?' He said plainly.
'Huh??,,,,,,' Now I am really shocked. 'You are joookkking!!'
He smiled.'Shall we?'
'Hey, but we don't know each other.' I scattered…..
'I am Samuel, an archetecher. And u?'
'…Joyce…hey, but I don't date strangers.' I was so pissed..I never think he is so active.
'We are friends but not strangers right, are we, Joyce? I promised I will let u go whenever u want to, ok? Amm, may be after dinner, I am starving now'.
'But,..' I really don't know how to refuse, the temptation is too strong..
'Which restaurant do u prefer, my lady?' He said.
I looked at the huge fat cat – a doll, lying on the corner of my bed, which Samuel gave me a month ago (properly, I didn't really count), on that Valentine's day. Really, he was a nice, handsome guy. Although he got an emergency call from his drunken friend, he insisted to drive me back, just for safety. I liked him, his way of caring, his way of talking, but I don't know how to find him after since we met. But Samuel who? An architecture? There are thousands in the world. Where should I find him? Knowing there may be nothing beyond the line, but I still want to see him one more time. At least, we can be friends.
I talked back to the shopping mall again. Actually, I often go window shopping in this arcade. Every Valentine decoration has gone. Now, it brings Easter. Finally back to the Chocolate shop.
I think of Samuel. We had Japanese food in restaurant nearby, then we walked around. Knowing the fact that I never dated before, he sure was shocked, but not making any sacaractising laugh. Instead, he bought me my first bunch of rose. Then, he asked if I like that particular bunch of flower, I sheeply smiled. After knowing that rose is not my first choice, he teased that I am greedy, He asked what do I want next… and of course, I answered every girls dream, that I big doll. And I never think he would really buy me that fact- big…..
Hey, what's that big shadow, don't tell me…..
'Ouch,' I crashed into someone again. I know this is not Samuel, coz I am the one who was knocked down this time.
'Oh, I am really sorry. Are u ok?' when I looked at the sound source, I saw this impressing guy. Really he looked like Samuel, in a way that he is handsome. Oh, no, he is more than handsome, he is beautiful. He has green eyes and silky browny-blone hair.
He genitally pulls me up when I am still judging at him. Then he laughed.
'What? What's so funny?' I was wondering if there is something on my face again.
'…So, you crashed into someone outside the chocolate shop again. It's your habit?' He laughed.
Hey, what's he talking about?! He knows me? I look so confused.
'Sorry, for my impolite behavior. U are the one who crashed into Samuel on Valentine's day , right?' He said.
Ohh my god, this is really not a good thing to let others know. Hey, does this means;;;
'U know Samuel?'.I asked hestitately.
'Yap, and he asked me to look for you. He told me that u have the intention on crashing someone. I sensed that he Really into you.' He smiled.
Oh no, how should he say that?. Is he serious? But this cherish guy seems not really reliable.
He grinned again, saying,' Not feeling so comfortable when people judging me. I better show u this to gain your trust.' As he said, he passed me a photo. Oh my god, that was originally as sticker print, which is now enlarged by 100 times….
I was sweat dropping…
'He gave u this?….' I asked.
'Yap. In order to see your face and recognize you immediately.'
'Where is he now?' I asked reluctantly.
On the day we first met, he showed me to Samuel's office. After talking to the secretary, we were allowed to go in. It surprised me that, we were walking towards the 'Manager's room'. No wonder Samuel can afford the amount of money which spent with me on that day.
He knocked on the door. 'Yes.' Was the respond from the inside.
As we entered the room, he said,' See what goody I bring you. hehe' I brushed as usual.
When I looked up, I saw Samuel was talking on the phone in a different language, I beg it was Japanese. Samuel was really busy, he didn't look up. I was quite disappointed. Then he said something in japanese to Samuel. This time, Samuel looked up to be in a just-can't-believe face, and blank both on the phone and to us. Then, he quickly finished the phone call.
Samuel is very special to me. I understand that he is really a business type person when we met again. The fact was he left me and his friend due to the reason of a very important meeting.
'Nice to meet you again.'That was the only thing he said before he left us.
Then we were sitting on the crouch side-by-side, sliently for a few second.
'I am Yoji, Koudo' He said.
Then I remember he could speak Japanese. 'Oh, so u are Japanese, so what brings u here?'
'I guess it's just fate.' He replied. I was really confused. ' Would you like some cakes and drink, I am sure there is something in his fridge. Why don't we relax ourselve before he come back?'
Don't worry, I will take care of u. As he said this, he smiled gently.
Everything's fine after that day we met. Yoji and I become good friends. I was married to Samuel, and we had two children. Life goes on, we really were happy together. After many years, just far too long that I can't remember…, just after Samuel' sudden death. I know it is only the beginning of another story of our best friend. On the funeral, he said, ' Don't worry, I will take care of you. As I promised.' The same phase again, but the meaning is totally different. Heck, promise from whom?
