It was a beautiful weekend afternoon, and Dre, Aunt Sherry, and I had planned to spend the day shopping and indulging in delicious ice cream treats. Aunt Adeline, always caught up in her busy schedule, couldn't join us, but we understood her commitments.
As we strolled along the sidewalk, relishing the cold sweetness of our ice cream, Dre suddenly approached Aunt Sherry with a piece of paper in hand. "Hey, Mum, could you please sign this for me?" he asked eagerly.
Aunt Sherry chuckled heartily, her laughter blending with the joyful atmosphere. "A trip to the forbidden city? It's funny you're asking me for permission," she quipped, scooping another spoonful of ice cream.
I glanced at Dre, grinning mischievously. "Aunt Adeline already signed it," I chimed in, knowing that our spontaneous trip had been approved by our busy aunt beforehand.
Aunt Sherry hummed in acknowledgment and lovingly wiped a stain off my cheek with her napkin, a small gesture of care amidst the bustling streets.
But just as we were enjoying our ice cream and the leisurely walk, a sudden commotion interrupted the pleasant ambiance.
Aunt Sherry's voice boomed with concern, "Dre! What are you doing?" I turned to see Dre darting across the street, heedless of the traffic.
My heart plummeted into my stomach as I watched the catastrophe unfold. In the chaos, I accidentally dropped my half-eaten ice cream, its creamy delight splattering onto the pavement, forgotten in an instant.
As I followed Dre, leaving Aunt Sherry momentarily behind, we both stood transfixed in the middle of the street, captivated by the mesmerizing scene unfolding before our eyes.
A multitude of people dressed in vibrant red karate uniforms gracefully performed intricate karate postures, their movements synchronized and fluid.
I turned around and noticed Aunt Sherry racing towards us, her eyes wide with wonder and fascination. "Wow," Dre exclaimed, his voice filled with awe.
"I never knew karate could be so beautiful," I replied, sharing in his amazement. Dre looked at me curiously and asked, "Why didn't I take karate classes with you back in Detroit?"
I couldn't help but giggle at his remark. "You goofball, I was in Korea at the time," I explained, reminiscing about my own karate training.
As we continued observing the captivating spectacle, Dre's attention was suddenly drawn to a small building nearby.
His curiosity piqued, he eagerly opened the glass door and we entered to find a group of students clad in black karate uniforms.
I whispered to Dre, "Those are the black belts." His eyes widened with excitement as he soaked in the atmosphere.
The teacher, a stern figure, looked at his students with authority. Dre, trying to communicate, addressed the teacher in Chinese, asking, "What are you learning here?"
