CHAPTER 2
We ate on a diner near the kid's free park. I really enjoyed the food, although I don't even know the name of the dish, as well as watching the kids run and play. I really like seeing kids so happy, giggling, how simple things draw smiles in their faces. How I wish I was like them when I was a child again: so pure, innocent, happy, and problem-free. I really envy how children could always be like that. When I was a kid, I can only count my happy memories on just 1 hand which were the days with my Papa, my 1st birthday with lots balloons, my 1st strawberry cake, my 1st set of flasks, and my 1st puppy. But when the Unibecan war came, I had to cry always because when my Papa left, my Mum cries every night. And that was the start of my sad memories.
"Hey. What are you thinking about? You seem so faraway Ms. Mulcare." What got my attention was his deep, sincere voice. I stared at his serious face for a second.
"Kali. Just call me Kali. No, I am just..never mind. Anyways, you said you have a job to offer me Col. Levitt?"
"Yes. And please call me Glenn." He said casually while scooping to finish his potato salad. Even with that simple act, he looks so
gorgeous.
"Are you really a colonel?" I really can't stop my mouth from talking nowadays. Well if he's not a killer nor colonel, maybe he's a model. Before he answered me, he looked at me directly in the eyes, so intense, that his sky blue eyes became stormy blue gray again. The first time I saw his eyes like this, I got scared. But the longer I look at him, my fear vanishes and courage takes place.
"Yes. And I would never lie to you." I didn't realize that I was holding my breath until my brain signaled my lungs to inhale and broke my eye contact with him.
Geez, what's happening to me.
"Okay. So now what? Where are we going? Where are you taking me? Don't say on an interview coz I am not in my best look. No way."
"You still look pretty for me." My heart skipped a bit from what he said. I felt like I was melting on my seat.
Pretty
. That is the best word that ever came out from his mouth, next to the 'job offer'. I tried to regain myself again and went back to our topic.
"Thanks. Hmm. About the job you were saying?"
"Oh yeah. That's why were heading to my office at Davis Centre. You will like it there for sure. Come on. Let's go. " His smile is like a million-watt. Perfect pearl white teeth, like one of the toothpaste commercials I always see on TV. Back then, they all look so stupid, smiling widely on the camera. But this smile, I think I'll never get irritated with it.
-----------------------------------------
I still sat at the backseat on our way to his office for one reason: to have a chance to study his face on the rear view mirror without him taking notice. Maybe he's on his early 30s now because of the wrinkles on his eyes and forehead. Well that's a very big achievement to be colonel at a young age. And even with a serious face like that, although it's really scary and intimidating, he is still very pretty. No.
Beautiful
. Not even a mistake from his eyebrows, nose, jaw, and, yes his lips. And his body...his body is a wonderland. Not too buff, but lean and tall while his skin is unnaturally tan, maybe because of his past military trainings.
Your wife must be very lucky.
I think I said it too loud because he looked at my direction and caught me staring at him through the rear view mirror. His eyes was stormy blue gray again and his face got even serious. "What did you say?" I didn't even realize that he stopped the car. "Uhm. Nothing. I..I..said that I think there is a storm ahead." Well that is a half lie. The clouds were really getting dark and heavy, and there were few raindrops falling. "Better put on your seatbelt and pray to gods that it would not rain so hard or else we need to stop over somewhere". Whew. He got some serious personality disorder. Well, I guess he's not yet married.
I know it's not been a day since I met him and even though he's a colonel that's not an assurance that I am
safe
with him. But even with the thoughts like that, I feel safe and comfortable...and also
wanted.
I had a
relationship
before (not with JC) but I never felt like this. And I think it's not fair to compare Glenn with him, because that guy was an asshole. No.
A monster.
Just thinking of him makes me wanna throw up and be sick because of that bastard. I know I am not that beautiful but I am for sure can pass the standards of being pretty. I have a fair skin and green eyes, which I got from my mom, and my small straight nose and pouty lips, from my dad. I am average in height but the gods gave me a generous amount of chest and butt. And no, I am not thankful for that gift, because that was the root why he became a monster.
"We need to stop over here at Mecol." I was drifted back to the reality. I didn't realized that it was already dark and rain was pouring very hard.
"I don't think it is safe for us to be in the road in this kind of rain". I can't even see the road lights anymore. He turned around the corner, made a quick reverse and entered a gated village. My heart was beating so fast and there was a lump forming in my throat again.
"Don't worry. My grandma lives here. I already sent her a text and we are going to stay with her til the rain stops." It is not that I fear him or what he will do. It is because it is too dark and I can't see anything but pure darkness. The fact that there's a house we can stay for a while, which I am sure is well-lit and safe, I was relieved and slumped back on my seat.
--------------------------------------
His grandma gave us a very warm welcome which was very appropriate for this kind of weather. She was a small, thin, white-haired woman with thick eyeglasses. Her smile was very sweet and contagious that I can't help myself from smiling widely like those in commercials. But I don't think it is stupid now. I realized smiling sincerely lightens your heart.
"Come in, come in. You must be both hungry and cold. My chicken mushroom noodle soup is ready and waiting for you in the table." I now love this woman. She doesn't know how much I love that soup.
"Oh Darling Glenn! I haven't seen you in a while! You look so dashing! Come and give your grandma a big hug!" Glenn kissed her grandma in the forehead, hugged her very tight , and whispered something in her grandma's ear that made her look at me and smiled.
"May I know your name, dear?"
"I am Kali Mulcare, Ma'am. Nice to meet you."
"Just call me your grandma, dear. You have a very beautiful green eyes that made me think of--"
"Grandma, don't go over there. You'll end up crying again." Glenn interfered before grandma finished her sentence and I can see that there are tears welling in her eyes. I can't help myself but to hug and say comforting things to her which I never done to someone. Maybe this is what we call human nature.
"I am okay now darling Kali. Never mind me. I'm just an old woman who's very emotional. Come on, let's have your dinner. Let's go."
That was my first dinner where I experienced what a normal family has. Asking how was your day, how was your cat, have you been to the new mall, have you seen the news; sharing stories on how did grandma had her 1st collection of chinawares, or how did Glenn got his old scar in his hands which I didn't realize was there and even old jokes that they still find funny. There was laughter all over the dining room. And I just wanna cherish that moment. Because his laugh was one of my favorites. I don't wanna pity myself that I didn't even have like these in the past. I don't wanna remember the day when my dad, for the first time, was not with us to have dinner. I don't wanna remember the days that we have nothing to eat. I don't wanna remember the days that my mum cries so hard every night that she almost forgot that I was there with here. I don't wanna remember the day that she killed herself with the kitchen knife and blood pooled in the dining room. I don't wanna remember the day when my aunt took me in their house and treated me like their servant. I don't wanna remember the day when Bruce...when Bruce...
"Hey, hey. Kali. Are you okay? Why are you crying? Did we say something wrong? Shit. You're trembling." Glenn approached me and held my shoulders. I really wanna stay on his side because I need his comfort. Because no one ever comforted me. But no. This is just too embarrassing. I stood up from my chair and ran away and entered the nearest room and locked myself inside.
Chapter 3
It was so dark that I started panicking again, adding to my overflowing sadness, embarrassment, frustrations, and loneliness. I became frantic as I search for the switch.I keep on sliding my hands through the walls, and frames and other furnitures keep on falling off. I don't care if I break something fragile, or something important, or with sentimental value. I know I can't let myself to be like this again. I don't wanna succumb to these emotions that I buried a long time ago. I don't wanna go back to that white walls. I don't wanna be sorrounded again with those crazy patients and much crazier nurses and doctors. I don't wanna even think anymore. Coz overthinking makes me like crazy again.
