RUEL DELMO TORRES

Bubble Love
It’s been a long time when a 5’6 tall young lady saw the dancing trees, lovely chirping of
birds, a warm welcome of Zephyr and a peaceful country side of his uncle.
She’s wearing her simple floral dress with light make-up and a ponytail with a small pinkish
backpack.
As she saw the ambiance of the place in a glass window, a flashback came out to her mind.
It was rainy season when she saw him in the forest. His eyes were longing for something. He
is shivering because of coldness. He needs comfort right now. She walked on him with her
umbrella. She told him to leave in that dark place but he refused. She never left him. And in his
case right now, he needs someone’s comfort. She let the rain stops and asked him again to go
home. But he refused again. She introduced her name.
“I’m Fleine, and you are?”
He didn’t response until she hears his uncle’s voice calling her name. She told him to say his
name next time and asked him to meet again around six in the afternoon.
Weeks have passed when she went back in the forest. They meet again. As she promised to
him and luckily the boy is waiting her presence.
She noticed the boy physical appearance. He have a pinkish lips and a height like an Eiffel
Tower. His skin was as white as milk and as soft as pillow. His very pleasant.
They became friends. They play different games that made them happy every moment they
meet each other. They love playing hide and seek, and running around the meadow.
But, after a very long time of seeing each other, her uncle discovers their friendship and told
her to never see him and never go to the forest again.
She missed him. She missed his laughs, jokes and his magic tricks. Everything, she missed
it. As she thinks of him every single day, she noticed something inside her chest. She feels her
cheeks turn into red as if she’s eating samgyeopsal. She realized that she had a feeling to him.
She wanted to say her feelings to him but she’s been trapped on her uncle’s cabin.
Until the twinkling of stars and shining, shimmering moon came.
She decided to jump on the small window just to see him.
She runs rapidly. She roamed around just to see his face, his presence. But, she didn’t found
him anymore. She cried. She’s crying as if there’s no tomorrow. She lost him. She lost her man
of her life.
Then, someone is tapping her shoulder. Until she realized that it was a dream. She’s
dreaming again. A hurtful dream. She didn’t notice a sticky fluid flowing like a river on her
cheeks. She always longing her love. She even not confessed her feelings to him.
And now, she’s back.
She’s back to the place where her complicated love story started.
