The rest of the day with Isabelle went fine. Talked briefly
about her life in France and her transition to Singapore. Little
did i know that she owned a vineyard there.That struck a chord but
i couldn't place where.A day with a beautiful girl like her makes
me look forward to come to school early.
Thinking of sending her home, i called up my dad and asked whether
he will be picking me up later from work.
"Dad, will you be picking me up from school? My friend may need a
lift home", i asked excitedly.
"Sorry son, i have an important appointment later from work. Where
are you schooling again, Son?",he answered.
"Uhhh its ok, Dad", i replied dejectedly.
I was dejected.We hardly talked at home and he has his own life and
i have mine.
"Je suis désolé mais mon papa est un petit morceau occupé", i told
her sadly (I'm sorry but my dad is a little bit
busy)
"C'est bon.Je peux parler anglais un morceau à propos", she told
me. (its ok.
I can speak english a little bit by the way)
"Oh ok then. I see you tomorrow"
The whole evening, i was fidgety. I kept thinking about her and had
feelings of missing her. I told myself whether she is my dream girl
or not. Everywhere i looked lay a figment or a mirage of her
face.
That evening, during dinner as usual, having dinner with my dad and
brother. I cropped something up at the dinner table.
"Guys, I just met the most beautiful person in the whole world", i
swooned.
"She spoke the language of love and i think i...", i wanted to
continue but..
"Young man, don't you think you are too young to fall in love.
Besides, i also saw the most beautiful girl in the world too", he
interrupted.
"Again?", my brother and i remarked in unison.
Ever since, our mother passed away, we have grown accustomed to our
dad's philandering ways but he has yet to remarry.
After dinner, we proceed to our own activities. My brother was busy
chatting with his girl online. Dad went out to meet someone while
here i am lying on my bed thinking of someone.
A few hours later, the phone rang.
"Hello?", i asked.
"Andy, i won't be coming home tonight but please remind your
brother that i have reserved a table at the same restaurant for an
important dinner and announcement", my dad told me.
"No problem at all", i replied.
Even while sleeping, i kept dreaming about her.
The next morning....
