She walked slowly through the sidewalk. Enjoying the sun, the
unusual crowd and her playlist
throughout the headphone. Today was a very sunny day. Such a beautiful day.
Despite of the songs in her ears, she still could listen random musician played
their instruments on side walk of the
downtown. She smiled when she saw someone played his
violin. She liked that melancholic instrument. She was so tempted to stop and
watched until the violinist finish his piece. However, she had a place to go.
She glanced at her watch, well maybe she should increase her pace to
reach her destination...or maybe not. She exhaled and cleared her mind and
continue her steps.
She was so calm that day. It was so strange. Her breaths were as
steady as her steps. She did not rush herself yet not slowed her pace down at the same
time. She was just not in a rush nor delaying the inevitable. She was done exasperatingly catching up with time. She was too tired right now. Too drained to beg for time to be gentle. It
was just a useless attempt anyway.
The almost empty bus station. She was finally
arrived in her destination. She unplug her headphone, ready to be all smiley--she already promised to herself to do it properly. No more half truth. No
more hidden facts. Honesty. A genuine reality. No more decorative details or other faux shiny ornaments. No tricks. No plan. She was there...baring herself. It
was so scary yet brought a particular relief inside her. And yes, it was time
to face her fear. Or maybe their fear... That was the least she could do.
There he was, also freshly arrived with his
suitcases. It was so real yet unreal at the same time. She grinned when she
looked at him. It felt like only yesterday she met him when she said her first
hello. Yet today, they would have their proper goodbye.
