Sucré rêve

“Seat D8. Finally I’ve found it” I thought to myself. But an uncle has already being seated there.

“Looking for seat 8 yea boy? This is my seat, D8. Are you sure you’re looking for the correct one?” he offered to help.

“Err… Yeah. That’s what printed on this ticket…” I began to get confused.

“Oh, let me see that for a while boy”

I handed him my ticket.

“Hmm… Indeed. Your seat is indeed D8 but that is for Hall 7. This is Hall 3. You are inside the wrong hall boy… Haha” he smiled as he handed my ticket back to me.

“Huh? Oh my. My apologies, uncle. Thanks” as I hurried out to find the correct hall. What a blunder!

As I hurried along the corridor to look for the correct movie hall, I heard somebody called out my last name. It’s a girl’s voice. Sounded familiar too but I must have been mistaken.

“Hey”

I felt a pat on my shoulder and turned around. It was her!

“Why didn’t you respond? I called out your name just now” she asked.

“Well, err… I thought the last name was for another person. You see, there’s a lot of people with the last name C_Yang” as I spotted my senior who is also having the same last name as me.

“Hi, C_Yang” I called out.

“Yo” he called out back as he joined back his circle of friends nearby.

“Alright” she rolled her eyes. Somewhat unconvinced. “So, which hall will you be in?”

“Hall 7. Something funny happened just now”

“Hmm? Funny?”

I could see her interested eyes in my story. Her beady eyes are crystal clear behind her purple framed spectacles. I am stunned for a while, for I haven’t observed a girl this close before. She has cute bangs on her forehead, accompanied by short-cut hair, almost reaching shoulder-length. Her lips were pouty and moist. As if she had really used a lip balm. She didn’t have any make-up on and yet her face is still looking radiant.

“Err… hello?”

I was snapped out. That admission ticket in my hand was counting sheep with me.

“Huh? Oh. I was in Hall 3 by mistake just now. Pretty stupid huh? Luckily there’s a kind uncle cleared me out of my confusion”

“Eh? I was in Hall 3 by mistake too. Haha… What a coincidence. I am going to Hall 7 too!”

“Wow. Just perfect. Well, let’s get going together now. The movie is about to start”

As we entered the hall and looked for our seats, I found out that she had her seat next to mine! What a coincidence! Well, this could mean something couldn’t it? I didn’t bother to ask her if she is having a company along for the movie. For now it is just the two of us together, side by side, watching the same movie. Halfway through the movie, I felt some weight on my shoulder. I turned around slowly and I can see that she’s leaning against my shoulder. Her dreamy eyes are still fixed on to the silver screen. I didn’t utter a word nor did she. There’s just silence between us and yet the warmth, the wonderful feelings reverberated throughout my whole body. The tacit feelings in the atmosphere. I just wanted this moment to last for as long as it can.

She turned her face towards me. Her eyes looked as if they are saying something. I leaned closer. Closer and closer so that my lips can reach hers. My heart was pounding heavily.
Just when I was about to kiss her, she suddenly apologized “I am sorry. But… you are too late now…”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You are too late now. I already have a boyfriend” she said this softly, her eyes were looking away from mine. It was perfectly understandable. You wouldn’t stab a person by looking at their eyes right? I couldn’t utter another word. My mind was numb. Numb from the shock.

“But… we can still be friends right?” I took great effort to pronounce every single word of the sentence.

“Em. Yeah” she nodded and smiled. It was sincere.

“Okay, then, now hold out your hand” I requested.

She did so without asking. I took hers quickly. She was quite surprised. I took her hand close to my chest for a brief moment, while taking a deep breath, then raising it up until it was at my chin level.

“Emm… What do you think you are doing?”

“Relax. This is what I call a pat-on-the-back-of-the-head” as I directed her hand with mine to pat the back of my head. Pacifying myself. She didn’t resist either and smiled all the way. Her eyes were mellow now…………

Haha… Well, what do you think? Relax. It was just a dream. XD. I woke up with a great feeling after that magnificent dream and quickly typed it down on my word processor before the memory fades away. There are some things which are not answered up to my expectations but then, the answer is graciously acceptable by the moment. After all, this could mean something isn’t it?
