Films. Medias. Old black and white TV. I sighed. It was my very first time watching with them yet I was getting pretty much bored every single time they commented on something. It wasn't my problem though. Pops is old. Grand Dad is much, much older, and I am the only son of the late rich baker man who now makes a hobby of spending the rest of his afternoon with his old man, and now I was included.
Well, I would complain so much instead of watching. What's the fun of watching TV where all you could see are people in non-colorful screen. It even hardly to be a show.
"Just relax and watch Kier, we aren't on the prettiest part yet" Grand Dad said. I pouted. Really now? So there's a prettiest part now. I laughed sarcastically inside my head. Well, that was suppose to be a boring day. It should be a boring day. But. Once Grand Dad, turn to the next channel, it was different. I mean, it has the same black and white features but...
who is she?
"You seemed struck by her face too" Pops commented. I blushed.
"I never said I am" I freaked.
"Yes, you didn't. But your face exposed your reaction"
I was embarassed. I was cornered. Yet. They were both right. I blushed when I saw her face. She was too gorgeous to be a human.
"Is she an extra terrestrial? " I asked. They immediately considered as a joke. I mean who could blame me. I am just 7 year old kid. Just a kid who fell in love with a person inside the old black-and-white screen, and who-knows-what-her-age is.
"Her names's Lily Hasen" Grand Dad said dreamily. "Back in the old days even until now every boy swoon over her"
Back in the old days? Swooned over? Just how old is this freaking gorgeous lady.
I watched with them this time. Her moves, were simple but elegant on the wat she danced. Her voice were as pretty as her face. Her over all appearance were all simple, but surprisingly beautiful. What more if she dressed extravagantly. What a wonderful sight to behold. The only thing to add is the color. What is her color?
Ever since the day I saw Lily Hasen on TV for the first time, I always go with Pops. Grand Dad often teased me about it.
"Our little boy's infatuated" he laughed. That I am not well that was I thought. But, then when the time came when Grand Dad showed me tons of Lily Hasen pictures, I wanted to grab every single bit of it.
Grand Dad laughed at my obsession, and laughed harder when I tried to deny it.
"Nothing can do with that attraction Kier. " he suddenly said. I looked at him and asked what he meant. "I was once a kid like you. I also swooned over Lily when I was 12 or 13."
Time seemed to stop. 12 or 13? So that pretty girl had been in that screen for a very long time now.
"Oh, right" I said, I wasn't even able to hide my disappointment"So she's a grandma now huh" I said.
Well, though I was dissapointed, I can't help but be curious of what Lily Hasen's face is now.
"Sorry to disappoint you" Grand Dad said. "She is in the old black and white TV. I thought you would understand. "
Haha. Very funny. How could a 7 year old understand. If the way I saw her was a grown up old woman, I would never be this attracted. But, back then all I could see is a beautiful teenager of about 13 or 14 singing and dancing. Sometimes acting. Yet, still despite knowing all that I was still infatuated. I posted every photos of her in my room and put the others in my diary. I like the photos even though they were black and white, I thought I could see her real colors. Golden hair. Golden curls. Green eyes? That was my guess in the color but, no matter the color. I love it all.
