On one Saturday morning, she had
a smile on her face as she carries her pink guitar all the way up on the slide
at the playground. She keeps on humming as she strums her guitar. I don’t know
what she’s singing but she sang it really beautiful, and that’s what you call
insane. Never heard the song but find it beautiful. And I guess she saw me when
stopped playing, stood up, wave at me and slide all the way down “Hi Henry!”
I slowly walk towards her and ask
her what she’s doing “Well, my sisters going to get married next year and I
really need to practice this song for her. My fingers aren’t quite well due to
nonstop dough making this fast few weeks, so I’m practicing with all my heart
today”
“You have a sister!” “ Yap”
“Don’t tell me your sister’s name is Padme” “How did you know? Queen Padme, I
used to call her Queen” “Wow! Your mom is a diehard Star Wars fan! So what song
are you singing?”
“My everything by Lena Park” she
made a long sigh and look at me “You know what I’m so happy that I can’t help
it”
“What are you happy about?” I
asked out of curiosity and with a joke “Is it because you’re beside me?”
She laughed “Oh my gee you’re
funny! And a feeler! Honestly I’m just happy without any reason. Quite insane
right”
“No! You’re weird, how can you be
happy without any reason.” She looked at me with her deep brown eyes “You don’t
need a reason to be happy. Just like when love someone, you don’t have a
specific or certain reason why love that person. It’s a feeling of living life
to fullest without any regrets”
“Wow! So deep! I can’t believe
that a young person like you would talk about happiness like that
”
She stood up and put her hands on
her waist, “What do you think I am?”
“A child!” I answered knowingly.
“Seriously, I am a 24 year old woman with no career, no love life, and talking
to a man child named Henry!” she said “You’re 24?” I asked in a shocked “Yes
what age do you think I am?” “16? Hey but don’t just Henry me! I’m older than
you by 2 years show some respect and I’m not a man child, I’m mature”
“How about immature?” and she
spanked my forehead and run away. “Is that what you got? Darth Vader?” I stood
up on the seesaw and pointed my finger on her as she ran like a child “Screw
you Henry Barney! You can’t catch me because of your old grumpy legs”
In a minute, the rain started
falling. “It’s raining men Henry!” she shouted with glee! She came running to
me as she hold my hands “Come on Henry, let’s yell to the top our lungs and let
go all of our inhibitions from our past!” I accidentally stared at her brown
eyes all over again, her innocence made me shiver and made my heart pound like
crazy, her smile made me melt that I started screaming.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! And she
answered back ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!!
“Screw you painful past!” I said
and she mimics me “Screw you painful past!”
The rain pour harder so we stayed
on the top of the slide and waited for the rain to stop. Because of the cold
weather she started to get shivers and slowly I wrapped my arms on her and she
gave me a mean stare “Don’t worry I’ll just keep you warm, no malice” she
smiled as she puts her head on my shoulder “I think you need a Superman costume
now so you could be a real hero and cape is very useful in rain like this”
“Silly child!”
