Staring at enormous clear sky, watching the dragon flies in the air, while hearing the bees go buzzing. Butterflies flitting around after kissing different flowers. I am lying on an emerald green grass surrounded by the bloossoms of dandelion and reminded by what those flowers mean.
Mrs. Rivera, my teacher in Art subject told her class to choose one flower that we would like to give for our loved one and draw it and I choose the flower dandelion, for in fact, it is simple and easy to draw. My teacher asked me, why did you chose dandelion?
I am stunned, literally I don't know why except to the reason that it is very simple and easy to draw.
She continued, "you know what"?, that flower has a beautiful meaning, Do you want to know it? My teacher asked me with an encouraging eyes.
"Yes Ma'am"! With no hesitation, I quiclkly answered.
Dandelion means a gift to a loved one that will provide happiness and is a promise of total faithfulness. If you want to give that flower to your loved one, it means you give happiness and whatever comes in your way, or any trouble you may face, you will be faithful to them.
Well, I don't care whatever it means, I'm just a little boy. I secretly said.
Swiftly, a cold wind touches my brown dry skin, and the decaying leaves of Ipil-ipil tree planted beside our classroom started to fall on the ground. Goosebumps! It is totally bizarre.
Going back to the mood.
There, in the middle of a green fine grass, I turned right and Hope is there.. She is my best friend, my play mate everyday, my tutor when my brain is not functioning well and struggling doing my home work, we enjoyed eating together, I climb guava tree to pick some of it's fruit while she is on guard to warn me if the owner of the tree has about to come.
When the owner has arrived, we will go running and run so fast, when we escaped we laugh out so loud together while panting and holding our own pounding chest. Sometimes we successfully made it, but most of the time, we are caught in action.
Hope is a small girl one year younger than me, She has a smooth soft brownie long hair, her brown eyes matches her long eye lashes and her thick eye brows. Her semi-pointed nose is often sweating when we play under the heat of the sun, she has small bright teeth and reddish lips that makes her more pretty especially when she smile.. She has a hairy and skinny natural tanned skin and her favorite dress is designed in different colors. She love the colors of the rainbow and one of her hobbies is painting.
Hope is shy and a timid kind of person but she is smart, her personality changed when one emabrassing moment happened in her life while she is in her class. She is bullied by her classmates, the reason why Hope is a silent person, she has a fear of mingling to others one reason why she has no friends.
I am the only one! We'll, she feel safe being with me, I am like her super hero ready to fight for her, like how Kazuya Ryuzaki fight for Erika in a T.V series Daimos, I will protect her! I am Son Gokou and she was Chi-chi when we tried to imitate them in the episode where they got married.
Raaaegaaan! That was me as Eugene saving Hope as Jenny from all evil spirits in Ghost Fighter, I claimed it, even though my name was the same
as one of its main character.
On the other instance, I am Recca Hanabishi! I will surely set on fire anyone who will try to hurt my Princess Anna Yanagi. Nadare, Saiha, Humura all dragons! Come out! That was my dialouge when we play those characters. Hope helped me to paint all the names of the dragon in my shoulder so that I can easily call them when I need an urgent help. That was our playful imagination.
My day isn't complete without playing with her, I don't know if she's thinking the same thing too. Everyday I saw it in her eyes, I saw it in her smile, I saw it the way she giggles and laugh so hard that we are happy being with each other. (Smiling while looking at the blue sky as it's slowly turned into a dark colored ceiling, then I heard a voice calling.)
"Kuya"! (a Filipino word for brother)
"Will you please feed me"? I am so hungry.!
Oh! "I'm sorry my little brother". Here's your food, come on eat a lot.
"What are you thinking about", Kuya? he curiously asked me.
"Nothing brother", I said to him while still thinking of it.
"Stop dreaming Kuya"!, we'll going to play outside right?
Yeah! I cheerfully replied and at last my day dream will going to be real.
