The Moment I Knew: Chapter 2

After a few minutes of subtle walking, I stumbled through a beautiful park. It was simple and wide. The grass is greenly refreshing and looks soft when you touch them with your bare feet. I plugged out my earphones and put it inside my small bag then contemplated the surroundings.

I stood there watching the scenery before me with a tight lip pressed and a humidity of jealousy.

I can see families having picnics in this summer breeze day. I can hear children’s laughs and giggles as they play along with others. I can smell the freshly cooked hotdogs and burgers from fast food booths. I can feel the radiating joys and happiness from every bundle of relations.

And that is something that never happened to me before.

I want to feel those overwhelming pleasure from the smiles and love coming from your relatives. I want to feel how parents normally treat their children. I want to feel how it’s like to know that the laughs coming out from your mouth are altogether joined with people who carry your bloodline.

I groaned, feeling the slight stinging pain on my bum and my left arm from the sudden impact, “That’s gonna leave a mark.” I mumbled, sitting up.

It was then that I realized that I can’t move my legs for a weigh was sitting on it, I squirmed violently to shake it off, “Hey! Get off me!”

“Okay! Okay! I’m sorry!” a deep voice apologized. When the weigh was finally off, I stood up and dust off any particular dirt on my jeans and twisted my ankle in reflex. I rubbed my elbows to check if there’s a cut or wound and thankfully, there isn’t.

I sensed a figure next to me and I’m guessing this was the guy who I ran into. I was about to retort a rude comeback when he spoke,
