Love Story: Fate
Perhaps this is the wonder of life. At a certain point in time and space, we are bound to meet, maybe driven by fate, and so we met.
When she woke up, she was in his house, as if it was where she was supposed to be! Her mind was often foggy, and she could never remember what she was supposed to do here, what her mission was. She instinctively believed she was meant to be foolish and naive, like a child;
in those moments of clarity, he would always come over and cause trouble, and she would just look at him with teary eyes, pretending to be a child.
And so, slowly, she began to say one word to him, then two…more and more. Later, whenever she was unhappy, she would pretend to cry, and he would always come to comfort her tenderly.
She knew he was suspicious of her. When her sister came to visit, he returned home; so, while instructing her sister, she put pieces of tissue in her mouth, knowing this would make him feel bad. Indeed, she succeeded! He took out the tissue from her mouth, looking at her with a bit of reproach.
Another time, when she wasn’t in the house, he became completely suspicious.
Finally, when she appeared at the door with a dirty book and a flower, the stone in his heart was lifted. After returning, she secretly glanced at him at the door and then walked towards the stairs, knowing he would follow but unsure of when.
Later, he was taken away, and then he came back. He sat on the sofa, thinner than before. She asked her son to ask him if he was willing, they would wait for him. When the son toddled towards him, he scooped the boy into his arms, affectionately scolding him for the dirt on his pants.
When she saw the shadows of two people lying on the bed together, she knew it was time for her to go, like a dandelion in the wind, her play had ended! When he and her sister came hand in hand, she thought she was relieved, but why did her heart still ache? Her sister smiled at her, and she stood there, stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she was startled by a figure standing in front of her.
Expressionless, she turned to leave and looked up to see him and her sister smiling at them.
She couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment, they were chaotic. So, she ran; finally, he found her crouching in a corner of the house. Holding his son, he just stood there looking at her.
For a long, long time, so long that she thought time had stopped, she moved her lips and uttered “You,” but before she could say another word, he pulled his newly awakened son into his arms and hugged her.
In fact, what she never knew was that he had seen her long before. So many people passed him by, but he only remembered her. He still remembered that day when he was aimlessly strolling down the famous Cherry Blossom Avenue to relax; then, he met his girl.
She hurried past him, letting cherry blossom petals fall from her hair, leaving him standing there staring blankly at her receding figure.
Later, when he met her again, he told himself, “This is fate, this time, I won’t let you go again.”
