Ch. 3
Jack had just come out from the Green Ranch after buying some supplies.
"Hmm… a good swim would be perfect under this blasted heat" he walked down the dirt pad onto the beach side.
And saw them. Saw them kissing passionately.
"You bastard!"
Kai parted away from Karen to notice the new voice. "Jack"
Karen feared and got behind Kai as Jack walked forward.
"I should have known you would do something like this. Try to win the bet before time"
Karen looked at Kai questioning.
What are you talking about?!" responded Kai stepping forward to stand his ground as any angry man would do.
Jack simply smiled sensing his plan was hard at work "You know what I'm talking about, Kai. Remember last night when you agreed to the bet of who would win Karen's heart first?"
Kai was surprised as anyone could be after those words which trembled deep inside him "Lies!"
Karen stepped back away from Kai "You didn't… please say you didn't, Kai" her face now expressing tears.
Kai turned to her "I did no such thing, Karen. And you of everyone should know that I really…"
"…Really do love making you a prize" Finished Jack who had a wide grin on his face at the time.
Karen shook her head and ran. Ran as fast as her legs carried her before she fell down on the sand.
"Karen!" yelled Kai as he headed for her spot
"Stupid boy, he doesn't know who he's messing with" Jack kept his grin and walked out of the beach.
The girl buried her face in her hands as her feelings flew. Kai was unsure of what to do to help comfort her at that moment. His eyes search deeply into her as if trying to see through her and help.
"Karen?"
She looked up somewhat and saw him sitting next to her.
"I won't tell you to believe me, Karen. I won't make you love me after what Jack has spoken. All I can do is say that I love you, Karen, and that's all I really have"
He stood up dusting himself and looked at the sun with its glorious rays dying down as they began to give way to the night beauties and its majesty.
"A few years ago, a boy came to a house. He was hungry. As he knocked on the door, a beautiful girl answered his call and brought him some bread. It was the best meal he had ever had especially with her alongside. Her beauty so unique not even the Goddess compared to such. The boy was very perplexed about her. Her kindness to him had changed his life. Over the years, that boy grew and grew as so did his feelings about that girl. Finally he decided to ask her. But she wasn't the same girl. Her beauty still present, yet her kindness and love gone. He was terrified of her. As so, he awaits to see what would become of her now"
Karen wiped her last tear as she smiled to him.
His eyes were watery. She knew he loved that story yet it pained him to tell it.
Kai forcefully smiled at the last flash of sun left "Its good to have friends. Its good to be able to help them and love them. But not everyone is alike. Sometimes people can't agree with them as they do with themselves"
He took one last breath and parted away from her.
"Kai…" she whispered as she saw the last of his bandana.
That night she thought hard. She now knew how much Kai cared about her. With the help of a dimming candle, she went through the pictures time after time. Remembering how she used to be. How happy they used to be.
"Who to love when your heart skips twice and your mind races at great speeds. While your hands shake and your eyes meet. Through years of wondrous thoughts and things to see. My love for you I could never meet" she remembered that short phrase her grandmother used to tell her when she was little.
"Kai… why you? Is this a version of my dream of what I thought love to be? Or does my heart really skip for you?" she placed the photos close to her heart and smiled "You were always by my side, no one could ever take your place"
A breeze came in and brought her to drift into sleep and finally awaken to the her dreams.
The morning rooster sang waking its owners. It was a quarter to seven. Earlier than what the time regular would be. But today was not a regular day.
Kai pressed his bandana on his head and gave a sigh as he sat on his bed. The wine would usually make him wake up with joy, but not today. Today seemed different.
As the breakfast was served, their eyes exchanged now and then. Her parents too busy to notice what was happening. Her eyes searching for a time to seek his once more. He caught him at last and didn't turn away.
Kai felt a sense of emotion as they shared the moment. Everything seemed so unworthy besides each other. Their hearts racing.
Gotz looked from his paper and both of them broke contact "You two mad at each other or something?" he asked with a sense of worried ness.
Kai shook his head "No, sir" Gotz looked from one to another and back "Very well. finish up, we have lots of work to do"
Kai was the first to finish and headed for his duties as so did Karen after him.
"Something fishy is going around here, honey, I just know it" his wife looked shocked at him "Did you just call me…" a smile spread on her face as she tackled him to the ground and gave him an unexpected long kiss.
Karen stopped as he saw Kai work. It seemed he really wanted to bring the yard back to life. To really feel like he was doing something. Which indeed he was.
"Care if I help today?" Kai looked at her and shrugged going about himself.
Karen began to pluck the grapes which were now softer "Weird" Kai looked at her "What's weird?"
Karen placed the grape in her mouth and an expression of happiness showed
"Karen?" she plucked two more "Taste them!" she gave him the grape and took the other one.
"My goodness, they are good" they stood up laughing and dancing with excitement.
"What's all the noise?!" asked Gotz as he came out cleaning his face of lipstick.
Karen ran to him hugging him tightly "We're back in business, sir" announced Kai.
Gotz looked shocked "You are not fooling, Kai?"
He shook his head "Just taste this" he handed him a grape.
His faced showed a clone of what theirs did minutes ago "My goddess. They are so good!"
Gotz jumped high with joy "This is the best day of my life!"
Karen smiled and turned to Kai "Its all thanks to Kai's hard work" she neared him and placed her lips on his.
"See, I told you there was something fishy going on" said Gotz as his wife giggled at them.
