1.The Paths Connected
Date:June 11, 2023-June 15, 2023

I didn't expect the day I was quietly working when I saw someone like you.

I was in church after mass. I saw a man who also looked at me making eye contact.There is a funeral ceremony today at the church the man who looked at me a while ago works at the funeral service.Minutes passed and I got tired of waiting outside. I entered the church again and sat in the back.I saw the man holding a white flower again, I thought about it and I feel that he will give it to me.

He stopped in front of me, I looked at him and he gave me a white flower.

"Thank you"

I said that because I didn't know what to say, I was just looking at the flower.Those in front also took white flowers, including my cousin.He gave it to them.We gave the flower to the dead.After the funeral ceremony, the people came out and I went out too. I saw him and we made eye contact again.

When they left, I wondered why he gave me the flower, I don't even know the dead man, if he mistook me for sympathizing with them, why was I the first one he gave the flower to, and there was still someone in front of me.

The day passed and I never forgot that man.I'm here now outside the mall, I'm waiting for Mama, someone is selling flowers outside, I remember that man again.I was just on my cell phone while I was on my cell phone I saw a flower in front of me.I looked in front and saw him holding the flower, he was giving the flower and I took it and then he left to go to the flower seller.I didn't speak anymore, suddenly he left, suddenly Mama came, she asked me where the flower came from, I said someone gave it to me.I looked behind me and he was no longer at the flower seller.

I was surprised because how did he recognize me with my face mask off.

It's been a month since that happened and now I'm at church waiting outside sitting again.When someone spoke and sat next to me.

"We meet again"

I looked and saw the man again.

"Too bad I didn't bring fresh flowers but I did bring artificial flowers"He said

He gave me the flower.

"Thank you?"

"Ah, I'm bringing that in case we meet"

He was about to leave when I told him.

"Will we meet again?"

"It depends when you give me your contact number"

I smiled.

"You look more beautiful when you smile"

I gave my contact number.

"Looks like we'll meet again see you next time"

He waved.I waved too.

"That's how it all started, children"

"Yiee Daddy"

"The first time I saw your Mommy, her eyes were shining and when I looked at her it was as if there were lights next to her that were shining."

"Yiee Daddy was the first to fall in love with Mommy"

"Your mommy is full of love but low in trust, she likes kpop and kdramas. She is the kind of woman who doesn't need a man, she can be happy on her own. I waited for her for nine years and courted her.

"Why did you give me that flower even for the dead?"

"I thought we might not see each other again so I gave it so you wouldn't forget me"

"It's true that I haven't forgotten you because you were the first man who gave me flowers"

"Mommy is thrilled"

"Daddy, is Mommy beautiful?"

"I have seen many women but your Mommy is the most beautiful and she shines differently from everyone"

"Let's eat now Baby is hungry"

"I love you Daddy Mommy"

"We love you more"
