I knew there’s magic between two people who falls in love with each other. That there was this invisible tie that cupid connected to their pinky fingers. And I was thinking, maybe cupid did that to us as well.
It had been two weeks now since that moment under the moonlight and we’d grown closer than before. We would kid around, laugh at some things and even cuddle.
“What will you do if you find out that there’s a chance for you to see again?” I asked one time when we were sitting on their couch. His mom invited me over for lunch and I was glad to accept the invitation.
He sighed, that same look on his face that I was still not used to. I wanted to paint a more vibrant look on that face of him. Even though he was smiling, his eyes were still that dull, lifeless part of his face. He's blind, I know, but it’s just not fair.
“I never expect anything anymore. I’ve lost all the hopes a year ago and I’m not going to think about that anymore. This is what my life will be for the time that I will be in this world.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying, Emma, that you will never know what will happen tomorrow, so might as well be ready rather than expect something that you know won’t even happen.”
I was about to say something back to him but his mom emerged and called us to have lunch at the backyard. It disturbed me for a while before those things he said disappeared in my head. He seemed so sure about the world. That once you got something, that’s just how it’s going to be until the end.
I wondered if he ever thought of having someone to love, though.
