SPECIAL CHAPTER: "THE CHILDHOOD WHO KEEPS ON HAUNTING YOU."

"Soulmates always find each other"
I was having a long walk inside our subdivision when I saw the chapel. I can't help but to smile when I remember that someone from there became my friend because I never learned the quotation "don't talk to stranger."
//Flashback//
I was walking on my way home. There is a new subdivision next to ours. It still under construction. And I love to play in the mud.
I scratch my head while thinking of Lola's angry face. Since Papa left us, we lived with Lola's house. She's kind and I love her. I always kiss her goodnights.
But I know for sure that she will get mad at me because I leave the house without anyone knowing.
"Hi!" I was startled for a moment when a boy talk behind me. I look at him questioning.
"Do you know this?" The boy ask while showing me a paper toy. Of course I know that toy! Pogs is famous right now. Everyone is collecting it. Me too.
I look at him arrogantly. "Of course I know Pogs. I have tones of that in our house." Well, that's a white lie. I don't have Pogs. I always play with some older boys in our street. So I really don't have Pogs.
The boy smile widely at me. "Do you want to come with me? I want to be friend with you."
I bite my nails before happily nodding my head. I like the idea that I have new friend! He hold my hand and we walk together. It's sunny day and my skin is starting to get irritated.
"Are we there?" I ask the boy. He shake his head. "We still need to walk a miles."
I pout. I can feel my feet aching. We are walking towards a muddy path. I look at my feet with fear.
"Oh no! Lola will get mad at me! She can't see my muddy feet." I pout again. The boy stop walking and squat.
"Come on! I will carry you at my back." He said while gesturing his hands.
I hesitated for a moment. He's too thin for my weight. I'm a chubby little girl. But in the end I decided to wrap my feet in his waist.
"We are almost there. Don't worry we have water in our house." He said those words to comfort me.
When I saw a one house in the direction that we are taking, my face crinkled. The house is still not done. There is a green cover with a naked walls.
"Ma! I'm here!" The boy shouted so loud that it makes me wince.
He is a bright boy while I'm a grumpy little girl. I look at her mother who is cooking in a peices of woods.
"Who is that?" His father (I guess) said. I smile at him before slightly bowing my head as a sign of respect.
"Hello po." I politely greet him. The boy's father just smile at me.
"She's---" The boy look at me confuse "what's your name again?" He ask. I wince before saying my name. "I'm Allison"
He smile back at his family and say my name. Before entering their home, he give me some water to wash my muddy feet.
"Thank you." I smile sweetly at him. He smile back.
"Allison, I need to take you back. We are going to eat now." The boy ask. I nodded my head.
While on our way back home, he use his back again to carry me.
And I went home smiling. I promise that I will never forget him. And I hope I can meet him again.
//End//
I laugh before continue walking. I promise myself that I will never forget him, but in those memories, there is only the scenario. I forgot how he looks like but I know that this chapel used to be their home.
I hope he is doing fine. I gasp when the plastic that have fruit is now nothing but have a huge holes. All my tangerine is on the floor.
I roll my eyes our of frustration. "Where should I put you now?" Gosh! I did not even think of making the platic double.
I was picking the tangerines when I saw a hand helping me to pick my fruit.
"Oh, Thank you so much!" I said while still picking. This tangerines is for Lola. She needs to eat more fruits since she's getting older. And I promise myself that I will take care of her once she get old.
"I think you will need this plastic bag." A deep voice said. I raise my head to look at the man who help me.
I stare at his face for a moment. And he state back. He have this straight hair blond hair and a white skin. I think he's a korean boy.
I blush when he give me my tangerines. But now in a plastic. "Thank you so much." I laugh a little while putting the tangerines in the plastic bag that he gave.
"I should have ask the lady to double the plastic. But then I'm in hurry because there is no jeep left." I bit my lip when I realized that I'm talking to much.
He laugh and smile at me. "It's okay. It's just a plastic bag. No big deal." I look at his handsome face again.
I swear. He look familiar yet I can't put a name. I bow slightly before walking away from him.
When I'm miles away. I can't help myself but to look back. And there he is. Still standing where I left him. Looking back at me.
I slightly speed up until the darkness eat me.
Oh, gosh! I feel so hot under my dress! My cheeks is burning! And damn! I know I'm blushing.
"Gosh! Get a grip!"
