Diamond In life

It was in August when I first saw him. I looked out of the window with deep agony. That month was the month with poignant memories when everything seemed a bogus.

Never knew it could afflict me that much. I kept waiting but no one came around. No one could see my soppy aura. It’s very cold outside. But it’s time to go home. I went down but it started to rain. It rained so heavily out of the blue. Unfortunately, I did not bring my umbrella. It rained and rained. I trembled and I felt real cold. I saw no one around. I kept standing there, waiting. I knew that nothing or no one I could wait for. Then I broke into tears. I cried, and I could feel warmth on my pale face.

Suddenly I saw a handsome man coming near me. His eyes were filled with profound intangible feeling when he gave me the blue umbrella. I took it and ran so quickly that the water splashed me.

Afterwards I realised that I’d forgotten to say thanks to him. I turned around, looked for him, but I could not find him any longer. He was not there. Very mysterious. This blue umbrella had reminded me of someone who cared for me, made me realise that nothing I could do to ward off the torment inside me, but time. It has shed a light. A light of hope. If only I could meet that guy, I would have thanked him.

"Years have passed and I’ve become a stronger woman. I keep saying to myself that I am a tough woman. If I have a problem, I will only see the blue umbrella which in a bizarre way, It relieves me much. Somehow I think I understand the world more than other people do. People just need someone to become like an umbrella to protect them from rain, sun which are all described like the turmoils in lives. Every person likes to be cared and to be loved. Therefore, I feel bliss when that guy gave me his umbrella. And he himself was soggy just because of me. A me! Never will anybody in this world understand how it could help. People might think that incident was paltry. But if you imagine yourself liked a coin that was small and nobody ever cared about you, then I believe you would think the same. How I long for that guy. If only he knew he drew me out from my forlorn memoirs. If only he were at the same school with me. Oh, God, give me the chance even to address him only. I would like to be his friend."

Well, that was exactly the things I wrote in my diary one month ago. And God seemed to destine everything as He wished.

One day when I walked the path home from school, I saw a man walking passed me. I did not recognise that he was the man I looked for. When I happened to encounter his eyes, It reminded me again of those eyes, those deepand warm eyes. I stopped. He stopped, too. Suddenly I felt the tears coming out and shed on my face. He approached me and hugged me. It was real poise.

None of us could talk. He seemed to long for me too. He told me how he had tried to find me. We went to the park and talked as if we had known each other for a long time. He taught me a good lesson that no one in this world could be associated with coins. Whether it was coin or diamond, it depended on how we looked at ourselves. And if we realised it, we could change the coin into the diamond. I’ve already got my diamond through very simple things : gentle eyes and blue umbrella. ^_^
