So-Called Destiny

Chapter 4: Love from airplanes

I woke up so early today because I forgot to make that stone thing for Kimberly last night because I fell asleep already. I still can’t get over the fact that she’ll be moving. After like an hour, I finished doing this stone thing for my best friend and I’m quite happy for it. 

It’s only 5:30am and my first class will start at 8:00am, there’s still a lot of time to go. I went downstairs and I thought that I should prepare the breakfast for all, even you know… I don’t have skills in cooking.

I cooked bacon, pancakes, and green salad for our breakfast and also a hot chocolate and lemonade. I placed them all in our rectangular-shaped dining table with 10 seats. I presented it so nicely because this will be the first time that I’ll do this.

 After that, I rushed to the bathroom to get ready for school. There’s a long silence and I think they’re all asleep when my Mom screamed that could break all of the plates in the kitchen.

“It’s a miracle!” my Mom shouted on top of her lungs. My brother and Dad went downstairs to see what happened and I can see how much they’ve been shocked for what they saw.

“Are you sick or something? Oh! I get it, today is the end of the world, right?!” my brother James teased me, still not believing on what he saw and we all began to laugh.

“What’s the matter? It’s just that I want to do this also for my ever loving family.” I said and smiled to them.

“That’s too sweet of you, Izzy. Looks like these dishes are all delicious, let’s eat now!” my Dad said and he sat down on the chair.

Suddenly, the joy and excitement that filled the air was been stopped when my Dad was been choked and felt like vomiting after eating the green salad.

“What the hell, Izzy! This tastes like a crap! Oh what the hell, a 1-year old baby can cook better than you! You shouldn’t do this again, huh! This is the first time and definitely will be the last!” he said and laughed a bit.

“Oops! I’m sorry, at least I tried! But you don’t have choice but to eat them all or I’ll be really disappointed! I did put all of what I’ve learned from Youtube! Hahahaha.” I said and they all burst out on laughing.

“Anyway, Izzy, are you still counting for 100 airplanes?” my Mom asked.

“Haha, yes Mom! In fact, I already counted 99 airplanes, one more to go!” I said in full of excitement.

“What’s that 100 airplane thing you both talking about?” James asked in full of confusion and took a sip on her lemonade.

“Well son, because there’s a myth that me and your father believed in. At first, I don’t believe to it because it’s really impossible but it turned into reality when your father and I got married and lived happily.” She said smiling and held her both hands.

“Wait! I still don’t get it! What is this myth you’re talking about?” James asked.

“In my childhood days, I started counting for 100 airplanes it’s because my friend said that after counting for 100 airplanes, the first guy whom you are going to have an eye contact is your soul mate. It’s true for me, because your Dad is the first one who I saw after seeing my 100th airplane.” She said happily, made a look at our Dad, and smiled.

“What a crap! That’s just maybe a coincidence! Hahaha!” James said laughing.

“Don’t believe if you don’t want to! I just want to try it, there’s nothing I’m going to lose!” I said to him and rolled my eyes.

“Whatever! Good luck for your 100th airplane that you’ll see! Hahaha!”  He said laughing and about to stand up.

“Just don’t care! I just hope that he looks like one of the members of One Direction or at least a nice guy.” I said smiling.

“Good luck to you sweetie and better go to your school now or else you’ll be late! You too James!” mom said.

“Yes Mom, bye!” James and I said in unison then headed towards our own cars.
