Chapter 53

  The old woman pouts.

  "I just thought that it would be better to give it to someone else and not throw it away." I added.

  She cups my cheeks, "You're a very brilliant boy. I'm sure she had a reason why she couldn't come. I hope you're not mad at her. Listen to her, okay?"

  I answer her with a smile while I was nodding. I know she has a point and I should listen to Miranda too.

  The old man smiles at me and they thanked me before they begin to leave. I watch as they walk together, hand in hand, and it makes me happy seeing old couples walking together. It makes me think that there is actually forever.

  I think nowadays only a few people take love and relationships seriously since people are giving out sex way too easily than actually giving love instead. I'm not one of the latter as of the moment but when I decide to take a woman seriously, she's the one who's not even showing any interest in me.

  Or maybe Miranda really had an explanation why she's not here.
