The Destiny 41
Mary's Memories with Kenneth
Miami, 2004
Snow scattering adorned a whitewashed church. Hundredth
the white percent indeed. It's a little blurry, so it looks exotic. This makes the church look like an old building that has been built in the pre-independence era
United States's. With the grains and mountains of snow, it was like he was looking
a heavenly church.
Unfortunately, it was just a girl's fantasy. The climatic conditions of the area are not
allows heavy snowfall. Miami is a place in the land of Uncle Sam which has a tropical monsoon climate. There are only two seasons at 464 NE 16th Street Performing Arts in Miami, Florida.
The name of the church is Trinity Cathedral in Miami. The first time it opened
public in 1925. So it is not wrong with the dullness of each wall. Although it has been renovated several times, still the old impression will always be visible. The church's position is also strategic. Near beach. When finished undergoing mass, the congregation can relax first to visit the beauty of Miami's already famous beach by word of mouth. Don't forget, the church is adjacent to the Carnival Center, a kind of building
meetings are frequented by Miami residents.
The girl should not have been so impressed by the sight.
Moreover, there is no need for him to dream of snow falling around the church. Every week, he worshipped at the church. The important celebration of Christianity has always been
he celebrated there. Plus, he has also celebrated Christmas three times in a snowy situation with a bone-biting cold.
But this time it was a little different. The girl's delusion is not what it used to be. Ever since
in the morning, he was attacked by a strange feeling. Suddenly he wanted to feel the atmosphere of Christmas in a tropical country. Not only is the climate tropical. He wanted to celebrate Christmas in neither English nor Spanish. He wanted to feel the Christmas mood
touch of his father's mother tongue: Indonesian.
Remember, not only his father who is pure Indonesia, he was born in the country.
As he remembered, he was born in his capital. What's name? Oh yes, Jakarta. From the news on the internet, it is said that the metropolitan city is getting worse and worse. More chaotic. Besides being born there, he spent a long time in his childhood. Didn't he go to school in a kindergarten there?
“Hei,” greet a young man. His eyes were narrow and slightly curved. “You Maria
right?”
He nodded.
“Lucia Maria Goretti–“ Looks like the young man is so hard to say two words
last of his name. And the last words the young man said
it makes him feel pulled back into time.
Ah, he remembered. In the past, when he was Kindergarten in Indonesia, there was a man who called it Letty. It was exactly as this young man had said. Could this young man be the same person? Nothing is impossible in the world, right? It could be that his childhood friend moved to America as well for a reason. Maybe his father was mutated like
father first. Moreover, the stature of the young man who was in front of him now really
he reminds himself of his first love. Equally Asian-looking, narrow-eyed, and pure white.
“–Petlajaya Rossi isn't your name? Class 8-2 students whose homeroom teacher was Mrs.
Melissa Teymourian?”
He nodded. Maybe his guess is true. Maybe the boys moved
to Miami. Until unconsciously even attended the same school with him, namely at Gulliver Schools.
The first time he entered the school, he was amused by the name of the school. Gulliver it
the main character in the novel by Jonathan Swift, an Anglo-Irish writer.
As a child, he was often told by his mother the legend of a giant human who was stranded in the land of dwarf humans. So impressed by the name of the school, he had thought that he was entering the school of the liliput.
“Wah it turns out the gossip is right well,” said the young man grinned. “You are indeed
what a beautiful and charming.”
His face is red. The more strongly he suspected that it was true that his childhood man was in front of him. His heart is beating fast.
“Oh well, almost forgot, my name is Kenneth Soo.” The young man put his hand.
He returned the hand. But he was a bit disappointed. As he remembered,
the name of the man was not Kenneth. If not wrong, he often called the man with
didi designation. But wait a minute. It's a childhood memory. Who knows, that's not his real name. Here alone, some of her female friends have childhood names that can be different from real names. Take her best friend, Kathleen Casper. According to the confessions of her friend who had almost golden hair, the girl's childhood name was Cathy.
Well even though Kathleen is still called Cathy.
melancholy female. What are you daydreaming about?” tease this young man again.
He chuckles, shakes. Remember that his first love was also happy
racing, even though still sitting in kindergarten.
“Nothing. Just daydreaming of snow covering this church.” he said with a big smile.
The young man grinned. “I also think as you think. If church
it is covered with snow, surely it feels like this church will look like a heavenly church, which some of the angels will be the recipients of its guests.”
He giggles. “Oh yes, what class are you sitting in? I don't think I've ever
saw you earlier.”
“It's only natural that you've never seen me. I have a different class than you.
I'm in grades 8-5, whose homeroom teacher is the most terrible teacher in Gulliver. You must know deh.”
So similar. As he remembered, that boy also had the talent of making people
laughingly. “You mean Mr. Omar Acosta?”
“That’s right.” he said grinned. “Better we get in soon. Christmas Mass will
starting soon. You're here with your family, right?”
Nodding. “And they already entered first into.”
Since that Christmas meeting, her relationship with Kenneth Soo has grown closer. He continues to suspect that Kenneth Soo is Didi, his childhood friend.
The stature, character, and humorous nature of a Kenneth Soo makes it possible
make such a guess. That's what made him feel comfortable being near Kenneth. Sick close to their relationship, many friends in Gulliver who suspect he was dating Kenneth who turned out to be the target of the schoolgirls at the school.
He is tired of having to explain that he is just a regular friend with Kenneth.
Tired of having to get terror from the students who want to make Kenneth
as lover. Unfortunately, he could not ask his parents to transfer him to another school. Ridiculous, changing schools for reasons of romantic shortsighted Miami teen girls.
But he cannot deny that feeling. He admitted, every time he was near Kenneth, he was,
it always feels different. His blood was always rustling watching the cool side of the youth
that oriental look. Pula is always drunk will be nostalgic era kind of every look at Kenneth. He always felt that Kenneth was Didi.
After four months, Kenneth just shot him officially. He remembered where he was, in a McDonald's restaurant not far from his school. Under the pretext of an incomprehensible school assignment, he was invited to the fast food restaurant. In the middle of explaining the material, Kenneth said as he held his hand: “Hey, Maria. I don’t know why, but everytime I’m around here, my heart always get racing. Ever and ever–till the second. I’m hard to guard my eyes not to stuck on you. You are really the queen of my
heart. Would you be the real princess for me?”
He who is drunk with fond memories of his childhood in Indonesia, so difficult
refused it. That feeling he can't lie. He also has feelings for Kenneth.
Always feel comfortable and protected when Kenneth is nearby. Humor
the young man could always make him spin. So he did not hesitate to nod and say, “I accept you.”

“Not expecting Kenneth to be romantic too,” praise Diaz after listening
mary's Story.
“You're jealous right?” maria smiled faintly.
“Negotted. Absolutely not, why should I also be jealous?”
“I know, you're actually jealous right.”
Diaz gritted her teeth tightly. Twist his eyeballs as well while combing into
surrounding. He also realized that he – with Maria – is becoming the object of someone's spectacle.
“Yaz, you're hot, didn't you hear my story?” Maria still asked the same question.
While Diaz stared madly out of the room and half-screamed, “Basic handyman
pantyhose! Always a peeper knows the affairs of people.”
