IV. Learning to breatheA Chapter by Eunice GoI arrived at his
house in just a matter of 20 minutes. I met his parents, Paul and Annie Wilson.
I also met his cute little brother, who’s just 8 years old, Brian Wilson. He
kissed me on my cheeks and I kissed him back. I always wanted to have a baby
brother. “ Hey.” Alex
smiled. “ Oh hey. I brought
a cookbook. It’ll help you.” I grinned. He prepared all the stuffs needed.
While he was preparing the mixture, I settled on the chair and began to
continue my reading. “ The mixture’s
done.” He called. I wore the gloves and told him everything. We waited for the
first muffin to be baked. “ Ooh.” He said.
“It tastes so yummy! It’s so easy. Once it’s inside the oven, it’ll pop. Nice.” “ Glad you liked
it. Well, looks like you already know how, I gotta go.” I said. “ Wait. Since you
became so very hospitable tonight. You’ll be my first customer, and first
taster of my muffin.” He smiled. I sighed. “ Okay,
whatever you say.” I’ve found a table
outside near the garden, I figured out it was the perfect spot, reading under
the stars. I was busy reading when I smelled the delicious scent of hot
chocolate and muffins. “ Midnight snack,
served.” He said. I took the first
bite and the first sip “ Impressive.” I commented. “ You know what, I
didn’t thought you’d become my friend.” He said. “ Why? What makes
you think that?” “ Well first,
You’re popular. I remembered Vince telling us that you were his crush. From
that moment on, I knew you were special. Because you are Vince’s first love.” I laughed. “ You
know, I almost lost my grip back there. But I sort of have this recipe in
life.” “Recipe in life?”
He was puzzled. “ Yes.” I smiled. “
Want to know it?” He nodded. “ Here it goes. I
think that in life, every scar I have makes me who I am. I think that God
wouldn’t allow this to happen if it’s not going to turn out good. Get what I’m
saying? I think that the recipe in life is stay firm in God. Everything happens
for a purpose. When he died..” I flinched. “ I didn’t know what to expect. I
wanted to die, too. But then, I realized something, I didn’t die in that
accident to see this.” I pointed at the stars in the sky “ I haven’t found my
purpose in life yet. I am blessed to have a second chance in life.” “ Wow.” That was
all that he said. “ Sorry for being
melodramatic. Didn’t mean to.” I laughed. “ Now I know why
Vince loved you so much. You’re extraordinary.” He said. It was already
11:30 p.m. We had enough talk and laughs for one night. I had a feeling that my
parents would get mad at me. “ It’s getting
late. I need to go. Thanks for tonight. Bye.” I smiled. When I arrived
home, It was a hundred times worse than I imagined. They were peaceful and
still watching the same movie, only the second part. “ I’m home.” I
greeted. “ Good.” They both
replied. Where’s the angry shouts? “ Uhm. Aren’t you
gonna scold me or anything?” “ Scold you, for
what?” “ It’s almost 12 in
the midnight, Mom, Dad, What’s going on?” “ Oh, we know. It’s
just that, You don’t know how happy we feel knowing you have a new friend besides
Monique. You sleep now. We have to finish this. Good night. Love you.” Mom and
Dad said. “ Okay. Love you
too guys!” I headed upstairs
and tucked myself under the sheets. © 2011 Eunice Go |
