“Amanda, who was the person you talked to just now?” Bonnie was in a store and looked for the bedding needed for the wedding. She saw Amanda was talking to someone from afar through the glass. Someone blocked her view at that time, so Bonnie could not see clearly. She realized that there was no one else except Amanda when she ran over to Amanda.
“Nothing, let's go, let's continue shopping. What should I give you since you're getting married?” Amanda tookBonnie to continue to go shopping.
Bonnie did not give it up and turned to look back. She had seen someone there.
How could the person disappear?
Did she see it wrong? Bonnie thought with doubt.
“Come on, let's go to that store,” Amanda took her to a women's clothing store and deliberately talked to her, “I’ll buy you some clothes.”
Bonnie smiled and asked, “As my wedding gift?”
“Of course not,” Amanda looked at her, “You're marrying Jos, and of course, I have to give you the best and most valuable thing as your wedding present.”
Bonnie joked, “Theresa and mom will buy me presents, and you'll buy me too. By then, will I become a rich woman?”
“You're already a rich woman, okay? What is Jos' belongs to you.”
“It seems to be like this.”
The two talked and laughed, and Bonnie seemed to forget that she seemed to see Amanda talking to someone.
After shopping, they went to watch a movie before going home.
Amanda did not go home with Bonnie, and she told Bonnie that she was going to meet a friend. Amanda purposely went to the movie after shopping because she wanted to delay the time until the evening. So she could find an excuse not to go home.
Bonnie also did not think much about it, and she went home with the driver.
After separating from Bonnie, Amanda found that it was not time yet. She walked alone in the busy streets of City C. It was getting dark, and there were more pedestrians on the streets.
There was someone selling toys on the roadside. Children would tug at their parents to buy toys. The street was full of worldliness.
A hipster was standing at the bridge with a guitar in his arms. He wore a little longer hair and glasses, and he sang a poem with a low, emotional voice.
“Hearing of you from afar, so I set out a long journey.
I've felt the wind blow that you've felt and does it count as a hug.
I've walked on the road you've walked, and does it consider an encounter.
I only like you, from the beginning to the end, earnestly and cowardly.
I still like you as the sun rises, day and night.
I still like you as clouds drift ninety thousand miles, never rest.
I still like you as the stars smash on the Earth, till death do us part.
I still like you as the breeze blows into my heart, limp and numb.
I still like you as the wind once starts its trip and never comes back.”
Amanda unknowingly had stopped long ago, listened carefully to the hipster chanting each verse that was slightly sad and aesthetic. She came into tears and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes. Amanda took twenty dollars out of her wallet and bent over, and wanted to put it into the guitar case. However, there was a person who first put twenty dollars into the guitar case. She raised her head and met a pair of deep eyes. He was also looking at her at this moment.
