It was midsummer that time I was walking alone with cloth wrapped around my face so no one would get a glimpse of it. I was walking around town then stopped by the flower shop just smelling the flowers which my delight ever since. I saw you then. I wondered if you were waiting for a boquet to be given to your sweetheart.
“ Miss, what can I do to help ?” the lady said
“ Nothing. I just want to smell them.” I said
Then I saw you glance at me but I just looked away. You called the lady at the shop. You whispered to her something. She came near me
“ If you dont mind.” Said the lady getting one of the pink roses I was smelling
He came close to me. I just glimpsed at the flowers. I dont know why I feel nervous that he is coming near.
“ For you.” He said then you removed your hat
“ Thank you.” I said removing the cloth which was wrapping my face all along
He looked at me. I just looked at the flower trying to remove his attention on me.
“I have never seen you yet.” He said
“ Well, that because I wrap my face.” I said
“ Dont tell me your the...” he said
“ Shh..” I said trying to tone down his voice
“ I never knew you could be so beautiful” He said
Why am I even doing this.? Am I a fool ? I am a German. He was American. I want to spend more time with him but its forbidden. I just looked away then ran out. I just want to forget how I felt back there which was forbidden. I was running faster in this petite dress and heels trying to go away from him. From that moment on, I knew Iiked him. But its forbidden. I didnt even get to know his name. I ran to the fields. I saw a tree and hid there
“ Miss.. Are you alright?” he asked
“ What’s your name?” I just uttered
He didnt answer. He just went close to me at the back of the tree. He just stared at me. Time stopped for a moment. After some while, we heard gunshots. Soldiers stomping all around. It was the sign to say goodbye. I just a last glimpse.
“ NOO!!!” I screamed
His blood was everywhere. American soldiers surrounded me and they were taking me away. I just cried it all out. That was all I remembered. We were enemies through blood indeed. But then we were lovers for that moment seperated by our motherlands . It was forbidden but through the look in his eyes. It was true.
