Hannah Caplin
Nathan's POV
She's there again in the same place where I always see her. Sitting alone with her dog. If you look at her you would say she's always in a deep thought. Every morning its like her routine to stay there and do nothing but singing a song to her dog while combing its fur. Her voice is like the voice of an angel.. so soft, so beautiful it feels like your floating in the air.. Ever since I saw her I always wanted to talk to her.. to know her more. But my feet wouldn't budge. Its like it was cemented on the ground.. But now I would not miss this chance..
Here I am walking towards her.. Just a couple of steps and I'm right beside her..
"Hi," the first word that got out of my trembling mouth..
"Oh hi. Can I help you?." She asked without even looking at me.
"Uhm.. Can I sit beside you?." I asked her back with a cold hand inside my jockets pocket. Trying to form a smile on my lips..
"Oh, sure.. no problem." She replied with a smile, the most beautiful smile I ever seen..
"Thank you,.. I'm Nathan by the way."
I introduced myself to her while
offering her my hand for a handshake.
"I'm Hannah, nice to meet you Nathan." She simply said but its odd that she didn't even look at me or take my hand for a handshake.
So I sat down beside her with my knees knocking against each other. Then silence filled the air between us.. No one dared to say word until I decided to break the silence.
"It's a great view isn't it Hannah? Children playing, flowers bloom, trees are dancing together with the wind while lovers are warm in each others embrace," I asked her while looking in the skies.
"Maybe." She answered sweetly as teardrops falls slowly on her cheeks.
"What is it Hannah? , why are you crying?." I asked her while wiping the tears on her cheeks.
"It's just that.. I want to see the world like you do.. To see how flower blooms.. to see happy children.. to see everything." She answered tears still flowing down her cheeks. Before I could ask her why, a women came at her late 40s and approached Hannah..
"Oh I see you made a friend sweety. But its time to go Hannah darling." The Lady told Hannah while smiling.
"Its ok Auntie, this is Nathan by the way.." She answered sweetly.
"Its nice to meet you Nathan. But we really need to go now.. Maybe you could meet her again here tomorrow." Her Auntie told me with a sweet smile.
"Oh it's ok miss.. My house is just across the street over there.. I'll just meet her again here tomorrow." I answered sweetly.
"Come along Hannah.. Your daddy is waiting in the car." her Auntie said.
"Goodbye Nathan, its nice to meet you. See you again tomorrow.." She said waving goodbye but in the other direction. With her dog in her other Hand. "Come along boy."
"Bye." I answered.. Just then her Auntie took out a long straight metal and give it to Hannah.. then Hannah took it and used it to guide her way..
Just then.. I realized that Hannah was blind.. That's why she cried when I descibed what the view look like to her. But it did not changed what I feel inside my heart.. I love Hannah.. This must be what they called Love at first sight.
As the two part ways.. the smile on their face could not be painted.. For happines that comes from love is the purest and the most precious of all.
