The Magical Ring

Street Foods

"Yes, I grow up as a Christian. It's a very long story, I'll tell you about it next time," I replied. "Look, there's a street foods vendor here," I said while looking at vendor that we will passed by. "We will get down here," I said to the taxi driver and he stoped the taxi.

Denver paid the driver and we went out of the taxi. I immediately walked toward the vendor and his street foods seems so delicious. It's very smelly and my saliva seems to be flowing.

"Hello, 4 roasted barbeque please," I said to the vendor and he immediately took 4 sticks of pork and roasted it with the heat from the charcoal.

"I bought an orange juice from the other vendor. I know you love orange. Here!" Denver said while handing the plastic of orange juice with a plastic straw inside. I happily took it and drank it all.

"Hahahaha!" Denver laughed at me.

"What's funny?" I asked him.

"Haha!" He can hardly stop laughing. "As I expected, you will drank it all in just a single shot," he said while chuckling. "You really never changed," he said.

"Stop laughing," I said. "Give me that please." I looked at him and close-open my eyes three times. As if I'm a little kid showing her cuteness to beg for something.

"Eeeey, don't be like that. You look like a cute..... puppy," he said and I pouted.

"Cute is very alright, don't add puppy anymore." I crossed my arms covering my chest and turn around.

"Sulking?" he asked but I ignored him. "There, it's your." He stretched his arms and hold the juice in front of my face. I smiled and was about to get when he stretched his arms upward. I looked back at him and pout. I looked up at the juice and I can't reached it because he is very tall. Denver is 6'0 ft and I'm just 5'5 ft. I used my tiptoes to stand and reached the juice but he stood with his tiptoes too.

"I hate you," I shouted and pouted. I'm about to walk toward the vendor of juice and buy myself but he hold my right hand.

"What?" I angrily looked at him but he pinched my cheeks. "Ouch stop that," I said and the cold juice he is holding of course hit my right cheek. I took the chance and grab it. He was so shocked but he only laughed and took his hands from my face.

"You know what, it's so cold and you put it on my face," I said while giving him a mischievous smile. I immediately bite the plastic to make a hole and let the juice shower to his handsome face. He was so surprised when he felt the coldness that he even opened his mouth. I let the juice pour on his mouth too while laughing at him.

Then, he grab the plastic of juice from me and pour it on my head. "Now, we're fair. Hahaha." This silly man was still the same when it comes to playing and teasing against me.

"Cheee!" I exclaimed. "Hahahaha!" We both laughed at each other.

"Excuse me, your barbeque is here ma'am," the vendor said and I took it. Denver looked at me like and bite his lips.

"You want some?" I asked and give him a silly smile. "Go and order for yourself there," I said and step backward.

"Glady!" he complained. "If you don't give me, I won't give you a fishball too," he said.

"Where's your fish ball?" I confidently asked.

"Sir, your fish ball and chicken wings are all cooked," the other vendor shouted while looking at Denver. Then, Denver looked at me and give a vicious smile. "Bleeeeh!" His tongue out and he went to the vendor.

"I'll go home now," I shouted and he laughed. Luckily, there's no much customers here and no much people to see us. Only the vendors and a few people walking by can see our childish acts. Haha, it's so embarrassing when our college schoolmates saw it.

"It's yours. Little frisky girl," he said and gave me the cup of fish ball.

"Really?" I asked him while looking sad.

"Here's your fishball and chicken wings my baby girl," he said and gave me a very sweet smile. Well of course, I've already eaten all the barbeque lately but I'm still starving haha.

I took the fish ball cup and hold the fishball stick. I took one and was about to put it on my mouth but I found Denver looking at me. Then, I put the fish ball on my stick in front of his mouth. "Say, Aa," I said and he smiled. "Aaaa!" He opened his mouth but I immediately took back the fishball stick and eat it myself. "Gladyyyyy!" he complained and bite the chicken wings.

"Hahahaha," I laughed.

"Mhhhmm!" he exclaimed and put the chicken wings he had already bited in front of my mouth. "Bite," he told me but I only looked at him and looked back at the chicken wings. "Don't worry, I'm not like you who gives and took back," he said seriously and I bited the chicken wings.

"Mmmmm!" I exclaimed. "It's so delicious," I said and gave him a fish ball too. "Aaaa!" I said and he opened his mouth.

A few moments later. We spent a little time walking around to digest what we've eaten lately.

"How I wished that life was just like this. That we are always just like this. No problems, no worries and just happy," I said.

"Me too. How I wished that we will be always just like this," he said and he put his right hand on my shoulders while we are walking.

I took his hand off from my shoulder and hold it while walking. "Troubles and problems are always there. If we only think about it and roll our life over it, it will never end up and you will only become sad all your life. But if we just go with flow, don't mind problems too much and enjoy life even in hard times, we will surely become happy," I said.

"You're indeed an open minded person. You're right, we only have to keep on going and enjoy life challenges. It maybe so bad now but sooner or later it will surely become alright. It maybe so happy now but sooner or later, a storm will come and give you hard times again. All we have to do is move, go on and keep fighting," Denver said and he is absolutely right especially with the storm.

"It's going to rain," I said and the rain already started to pour.

"There's a waiting shed there," Denver said and he took his jacket to cover me. We ran into the shed and let the rain pass. I'm not too much wet but Denver is. He wear the wet jacket that he used to cover me lately.

"You're so wet. You may get sick on it," I said and he just smiled at me.

"I'm strong, this is just a little rain," he said.

Luckily, a taxi had passed by and I sent Denver home first because he was very wet and shivering now. Then, the driver of taxi sent me home too.

"Glady!" Johan opened the gate for me himself. "I've been calling you but your phone cannot be contact, where have you've been?" he worriedly asked.
