The French Girl (Page 1)

Emma is waiting at the lobby of the airport. She is wondering and her steps are loose on the hard floor. She doesn't know what's in her mind. Find a quiet corner and sit down at a cafe shop.

Cafe is her favorite spot. Not only because she enjoys the sip of the aroma of the smell and the time she spend on it. She orders the regular coffee. This time she truns it into a latte with no milk. The cafe at the lobby is clean and tidy. There is one girl sitting at one corner seems lke she is busying talking on phone and a pile of documents laying in front of her. It is not crowded in the cafe at the early moring with a few empty seats. Emma finds a seat near the bar. The chair is specially designed and made in wooden stick. It is like a piece of art that attracting you to take a seat and letting you know that it is the seat that makes people fascinating.

The coffee bar tender called upon the no. 81. Is it like the door plate hanging out from the corner of a street sitting there a teenager with his school bag. He has no idea where to go. Is he supposed to go back to school. Yes or No! He is waiting for an answer or is he escaping from school. A post officer drops by and past a parcel to the household. What on earth it is? People passed by and we are still living together. What connects people to work for their life. Is it a memorial gift or is it a good fortune that guide people to the making?

The bar tender called no. 84. Emma moves forward and picks up her latte without milk. Isn't it weired? Latte with no milk. It is Emma. She loves to try new things, to see new things, to live new life. She hates arrogant, cavalier, pompous. Emma takes the smell of the drink. It is weird. This is her life.

Suddenly, Emma hears a scream from a twin. The mother on her own is paddling the twin. They screamed even louder and louder with no intention to stop. The mother is confused what to do. She picks up a piece of tissue paper and tear it up. The twin looks interesting and giggling. Emma a girl at her 30. All by her own without dating for 20 years. She has no idea what girl asks for a man. A town ouse, a posh or a luxurious life wearing Hermès company with jeweleries. She is a up town girl, down-to-earth. She seldom wears makes up. She believes in clean beauty. This is her how she makes her journey on her 30s.

Is dating a faritale or dating is a madness of sharing fortune. She has no answers to find out and she don't bother to ask. Love can kill sometimes she trusts.

Emma sips the coffee. It is her 35s brithday. She is on her own at the lobby of the airport. She is waiting for her gril friend to come. Emma doesn't have many firends. She thinks friends are here for support when you are passing time for needs and care. She didn't meet Josses for ten years. Josses is her best firend when they were in high school. At the age of 13, Josses moved to the states with her family. They usually got togehter online having girly talks and support each others. It was sad to learnt that Josses left, remebered Emma. Becuase life is strange, one comes to this world on thier own and left on their own. Emma always thinks of the happy moments each other have and this is how they are able to keep in touch with each other from other parts of the world.

Josses loves truffle much with moss. She is a kind of cheerful girl. I am her opposite, I love white chocolate and coffee. Looking at her, like reading an interesting story. We usually go out for a walk and have sweet talks. It all passed when she left and continued her studies overseas. It is not until recently she got divorced and planning to reschedule hersel. She needs me.

Emma is still waiting for her to come to her life again. A memory striked her mind. When Jossses left, she met a boy in high school. This is love in different. The boy was arrogant but Emma is empty. She wants to filled up her lonelness. They came together. After that, Emma never dated again trustworthy. It is for her to escape from her scares. It was like a betraying game that Emma was chasing for her last 30s years.

How stupid she is to be loved again? Her best friend left, Emma still loves Josses maybe this is a plan. Emma thinks iitis a test granted for her. Emma have no idea what her reaction. By intuition, Emma heals.

Emma loves challenges. She is an introvert and she is a deep thinker. Josses is a talkative girl and messy around all the time. It is the chemicals that draws the two of them together.

Emma waits and waits for another 30 minutes. It likes taking a life time for that 30 minutes. Josses comes out with 1 small luggage. She looks cheerful and I am surprised I still recognize her present. Josses and Emma catch each others eyes. There's one drop of tear coming out from me. I hold it back quickly and Josses smiles. And we smiles.
