Kimm and I went to the movie theatre to watch a romantic-comedy film this one time. It is a picture about a long-time couple destined to get married but fell apart. They love each other deeply but frictions and differing ambitions took toll on their relationship. Eventually, they reunited as more matured versions of themselves. They found each other again, still and even more deeply, devoted to one another.
It was another teledrama for me, a trope too familiar in television. Still, it gathered buzz and praises from media outlets and critics. There was a television host who proclaimed the pair, "king and queen of hearts of this generation." Their chemistry was so effective that delusional crowds started rumors about them starting a family in a far-flung island.
Of course I showed more enthusiasm than I felt, that was obvious. Kimm seemed to feel more deeply about it. It even appears as if she cried a couple of times during the viewing, which becomes unsettling for me.
Even harder was the noise that followed us in the mall as we scout for shorter queues to get dinner. Still, Kimm was patient and unhurried. I couldn't believe how comfortable she navigates the subject of dreams and ambitions with me. And when I find myself confessing that I would love to explore writing as a career shift, her face lit up.
