WARNING: THIS IS LIKE AROUND 500 WORDS AND I CRIED WHILE WRITING IT SO
PREPARE YOUR TISSUES
"ok i think this person is the last one," i told luke.
"well, who is it?" he replied.
"it's my grandpa but..."
"but...?"
"he lives really really far from here but i really want him to be the last interview. if you can't drive me it's oka--"
"what? that's ridiculous, i'm gonna drive you," luke interrupted.
"but, luke, it's getting late."
"exactly why you can't go there alone," he argued. he was really serious in his tone and looked me in the eye.
"fine. whatever you say," i sighed and he grinned.
i have to admit that 3 hour drive with luke was really fun. we would play music and laugh at our silly jokes and eat the chips he had in the back. it was really nice. i'm glad he gone with me.
we arrived at grandpa's house at 4am. i'm sure he's awake because he thinks to have a "productive day" you should wake up at 3am.
i rang the doorbell and as he opened and saw me he hugged me tightly and tears ran down his face.
"tessa, i've missed you. why don't you visit that often anymore?"
i felt really guilty. grandpa was the one who took care of me ever since. but when i had to go to college, i had to move and didn't get to visit, leaving him alone most of the time.
"i'm sorry, grandpa but when i'm graduating next month! when i graduate, i'll move back here."
i almost forgot that luke was standing behind me. "you will?" he asked quickly and when grandpa saw him he started asking us lots of questions.
"is this your boyfriend?"
"do you live together?"
"why haven't you told me about this?!"
"in the old days i was really good in karate... so you better watch out, sonny."
it was really funny.
"anyways, grandpa, the reason i visited is because i need you to answer this question for my project," i started and clicked record.
"what is love?"
he settled down on his rocking chair and answered,
"when your dad left me to work in dubai, i agreed because i knew he had to work there for you,
even if it meant leaving me.
when your grandma lay in that hospital bed while holding my hand and told me she wanted to rest,
i let her,
even if it meant leaving me.
when you told me your college is 3 hours away from me and you wanted rent a condo unit nearby,
i let you,
because i love you and i don't want me to stop you from pursuing your dream,
even if it meant leaving me,"
he started to cry,
"love means putting their needs and wants first instead of yours
if you love someone, you'd let them go,
even if it costs your own happiness.
there is no love, when there is no sacrifice."
i clicked stop and my eyes were filled with tears. i hugged my grandpa and promised him i'll come back as soon as possible.
