“Pearre, I need to talk with you” my dad said that when I was in my room. “What Dad?” I shrugged.
“Just come with me to the living room. There’s your mom is watching TV” said my dad and took my hand.
I was thinking when my dad said that. I think there’s a surprise, and I don’t even know. Is it a bad or good surprise?
“Hey mom, uhmm..what’s going on?” I asked and raised my eyebrows. “Uhmm, Pearre. This is our decision, and actually this is about your Dad. Probably, we must move to New York after you graduated from your school” answered my mom with flat face.
“What? Why? What happened with Dad? Dad?” I asked and stared at my Dad constantly.
“Pearre, I have a job in New York. Maybe we will live in there forever and never go back to Paris. Because my central office is in New York. And you know? I have a good news, I’m becoming a CEO in New York. That’s great right?” answered my dad and told his new position in his office with cheerfully face.
I was so surprised when my Dad said that to me, I belong to Paris. How about my friends here? I just can’t leave them easily.
“Well, Dad. That’s great, I’m proud of you. But maybe I will just stay here in Paris. Just let me mom and dad” I begged.
“What? Pearre, listen to me sweetie. We can’t leave you here alone. You’re still young and we must always beside you. How about your transportation and daily financial?” my mom interrupted.
“Sure, I can do that mom. I’m growing up and you can send me money to my ATM”
“Stop it, Pearre. You must obey what we’ve said to you. Now pack your stuffs into your box. We will leave Paris in the day after tomorrow” my mom said that with mad face.
I ran out from my house. My parents were following me and yelling at me but I ignored them. I just can’t leave Paris so early. I walked around Eifell Tower and sat behind it. I wrote this moment in my diary, my super tiny diary. I always put my diary in my pocket, so I can write what inside my mind anywhere. I sat on the bench and wrote what I was feeling. Suddenly, tears streamed on my face. I wiped my tears and suddenly someone gave me a sheet of tissue and sat beside me.
“Uh, thanks. Sorry” I took that tissue and wiped my tears. I didn’t see someone who gave me the tissue because my tears covered my eyes and my eyesight looked opaque.
“Why are you crying Pearre?” I was so surprised when that person called me Pearre. I wiped my tears quickly.
“How do you know my name?” I asked and trying to wiped my tears.
“Hahaha, come on Pearre. It’s me, don’t you know me?” That person asked.
Now, I can see that person clearly. After I saw that person, actually he is Austin. I liked him since the very first day I saw him at school. He was my classmate.
“Oh My Lord, Austin! I thought you were a kind stranger. Haha..thanks for the tissue” I chuckled.
“You’re welcome, why are you crying? And alone?” he asked curiously.
“Well, yeah.. I’m such a beggar here. Actually, I will leave Paris in the day after tomorrow” I answered quickly.
“What? Are you serious? Why? So you will leave me?” Austin responded.
“Yes, Austin. I’m serious, at first I didn’t agree with my parents decision. I will just continue my school in Paris not in New York. I just can’t adapt with people in New York” I answered and took a deep breath. I was shocked when I heard Austin said he was afraid I would leave him. Suddenly, mini heart-attack came to my body.
“I’m sure you can adapt with your new friends in NY. Actually, you’re a friendly girl. And truth be told, I don’t want you to leave me” He said so shyly
“I hope so, haha. Why?” I answered.
“Actually, I like you Pearre. I want to tell you this earlier but I’m too shy to tell you this. I just want you to know what is my feeling to you before you leave Paris” Said Austin and he’s blushing.
I didn’t say anything after he had said that to me. He’s too late to tell me about this, he told me about his feeling when I have to leave Paris in the day after tomorrow? It makes me more difficult to leave Paris.
“Austin, actually I like you too. But, you’re too late. Why? I’ll leave Paris in the day after tomorrow. You made me difficult to leave Paris”
“I’m sorry, Pearre. But I just want to tell you this, will you be my girlfriend?”
“What? Please Austin, I must leave Paris. Don’t make me want to live in Paris. I must move to NY. Maybe, I’ll just say no. I’m sorry but I love you Austin”
I took my super tiny diary and left him. He put his chin down and didn’t even want to follow me. I cried along the way home. It’s almost night and I’m still walking around Paris. City Lights appeared and guided me home. I went home and my parents were in their bedroom like they were discussing about something..
