Depicted Soul With Blood

11

As tears flow with sadness and grief, they hugged each other then felt the warm love. The love that once faded away before, the love that stayed but never left.

The waves splash into sand with such wonderful sound, their souls gave them more energy to stay in the relationship they were in.

"So, shouldn't we enjoy this vacation? Instead of crying, we should tour your place." Coleen suggested while wiping each other's cheeks.

Both of them closed their eyes and their foreheads meet, both of them felt happy once again, just like before when they started.

Their lips touched each other, moving in slow motion. There were no tears nor sadness in the atmosphere of their world, the sun giving them light and the tree gave them a place to bond, a place to remember each other's presence in their memories.

They did it and looked again at each other's eyes, both reddish and swollen. They smiled and hugged for a second.

"Let's eat before this gets cold. It is best to eat while it is warm and with you, Coleen." Kyle held her right hand and smiled.

Coleen was wrong and she felt really guilty about every single thing that she decided, the path she led to the cliffs.

To the cliff to death and the path to hell, where she was about to go.

But there was someone who saved her, gave her shelter and endless love, Kyle Jimenez. The one she was cheating on and lied her past, but stayed.

She was truly special and lucky to find someone like Kyle, a man that will stay and love her endlessly.

Coleen realized everything, why would she find something that Kyle doesn't have when he had it all? There were many women who wanted him, telling her she does not deserve him.

They ate the their lunch while Kyle staring at Coleen not even looking at his food.

"Hey, do not look at me like that, just eat your own food, okay?"

"You are still beautiful even if you have flaws Coleen, no wonder I have fallen in love with someone amazing."

Both of them continued to eat and as they finished they ate the cupcakes Kyle made and only ate a half of the dozen.

"Are you a kid? You have some icing on your nose, love." Coleen laughed then pointed his nose.

Coleen picked up a piece of tissue and wiped the blue icing in his nose.

Kyle was surprised, he thought Coleen already forgotten what she calls him before, she just stopped calling him love then called him by his name.

He smiled with joy, what did Coleen ate and she became so sweet to me lately?

"I am so full, what should we do with this extra food? We can not throw then away." Kyle asked while rubbing his tummy.

"Were they children? Let us just give them our food, they were swimming for minutes now."

Kyle stood up and walked towards the 4 children in different age playing with the waves.

"Hey, kids, do you want food?" The kids stopped and stared at Kyle.

"Uncle Kyle, is that you?" The girl who was the youngest happily went to Kyle.

He nodded and the 4 kids hugged Kyle, making his clothes wet."Why don't you meet my fiancee?" He winked at them.

The kids widened their eyes and stared at the woman under the tree from afar.

"Fiancee? You mean your wife? We really wanted to meet her! She is cute from here, I think she has the kindest heart." The boy who was the oldest, pointed out Coleen.

Kyle nodded because that was the first impression he had to Coleen when they met. He could remember everything so well.

All of them went to the spot, the kids soaking wet with the smile on their faces and hungry stomach.

Before they touched the food they bowed and greeted."Hi, my name is Pao, the youngest of us but the prettiest of all." 

"Wow, you really are the prettiest, Pao. Nice to meet you guys." Coleen said and went to Pao, pinching her cheek.

"Hi, I am the France, the oldest and this is the twins, Hannah and Shanna." Francis pointed out the twins that was shy than them.

"So, you are Uncle Kyle's girlfriend? You really were the type Uncle Kyle has been muttering when we were young." Pao chuckled and Kyle signaled to be quiet.

"Hey, what was your type way back then?" Coleen handed the cupcakes to the children while looking at Kyle seriously.

"Oh, he said he likes someone who is very sweet, kind, cute, simple, beautiful, and uhh, kind!" Pao once again cheerfully said while eating the cupcake.

"You just muttered kind two times, you should just study before knowing adult things." Hannah teased.

"What Uncle Kyle said was—" Before Shanna could talk, Kyle putted his left hand to Shanna's mouth, stopping her from talking.

"Hey, you guys are traitors. I told you to stay quiet or I won't be coming back here again." All of them laughed.

"By the way, my name if Coleen Hasine and I am very happy to meet you, but I have a question, what is your relation to Kyle?"

"Oh, he was our 3rd cousin, but we just call him Uncle Kyle. We all met when our family went to visit him in the city and we spend our time together." Pao said.

The 4 children ate everything and left nothing, Coleen just stared at Pao. 

"Hey, before you guys go, can I hug you all? I-I mean I really like hugging those I met." She shyly said but the kids immediately accepted her offer, hugged her tightly.

She gave them the tightest and warmest hug, thinking this is her own children, well and alive.

They said their goodbyes and went back to their home, just a mile her at the beach. Kyle knew Coleen felt sad about her past, thinking if she wouldn't have done it, her children would have been alive.

"I know what it feels, Coleen. I know." He looked at Coleen.

He was also guilty for being absent when Coleen was feeling down, he was always not around to protect her at all costs.

Now, he must not let it happen again. Ever.

Coleen tilted her head for a bit and leaned on his shoulder."I regretted and really felt guilty about everything. All of them should have been alive and they are here with us, but I threw them away. I am sorry, my children, I failed as a mother to all of you."

Her tone changed and she was about to cry, instead she lifted her head and looked up at the blue sky. She knew they are happy to where they are now.

"Let's go to the circus, you should visit it since it is so fun." Kyle said then packed their things and went to the car.

Coleen helped and threw the trash into the trash can. Both of them went inside the car and the fun starts.

After a few minutes in the road with no other cars, they saw a windmill far away from the road with grass so tall and trees around. It wasn't moving.

They turned on the radio and it was playing the most beautiful songs, giving them peace and relaxation.

As they travel the road, they arrived to the circus, almost an hour and a half of driving.

"Is that a butcher's house just beside the circus?" Coleen asked and pointed to the empty butcher's house, right next to the circus.

"Oh, yeah, that is. But it is abandoned because it is said that the owner left it instead of continuing their meat business. They were bankrupt." Kyle explained and they went inside the circus, holding hands.

They ate cotton candy and many more, tried every single rides, even a carousel that was designed for kids, they tried it.

Both of them felt like a child once again, like they do not care about the outside world. 

As the sunset was about to begin, they got into the car and drove for almost 2 hours to get into the restaurant, the 50 year old restaurant everybody knew.

"Here we are at Main Dish Restaurant, the place that I loved before." They entered the big restaurant with a small quantity of people inside.

"But, why isn't full of people at this hour?"

"Because at this time, people will not show up at 6 pm, but at 7pm. We are lucky to arrive just in time." Kyle whispered.

"That is the trick my mom made, we would go out by 4pm then drive for 2 hours then, boom, you just arrived with no line at all." He added.

Coleen ordered ramen and ice cream for dessert, while Kyle ordered ramen and cutted meat in small pieces as a side dish.

Both of them enjoyed the hot ramen until it rained. At first it wasn't a big deal, but it rained so hard that people inside stayed and never attempted to go outside.

After a few minutes eating, the rain didn't stop and they will be stranded in the restaurant.

Kyle looked at Coleen."What should we do? The parking lot is a long walk, we will get wet on the way."

"Hey, don't even look at me like that, if I was very picky, now I don't. So, shouldn't we go?" She smiled then held his hand, looking outside while raining.

Both of them happily ran outside, surprising people inside, thinking that they might be psychopaths.

Who would even go outside raining continuously?

Before, Coleen wanted to be a proper lady but a picky one because she doesn't want to be a psychopath nor not a lady at all, but now she doesn't care.

She doesn't care because Kyle is there who accepted her flaws, her past and her inner soul.

They ran with their hands holding tight, Coleen almost slipped but Kyle immediately used his right hand to assist Coleen's waist, keeping her in balance.

They laughed and smiled, kissed like there was no tomorrow. Coleen felt very happy and her heart was so full of love.

They went inside the car and drove off to come home. Both of them were soaking wet and they didn't care.

This was the best day for me, Coleen thought.

The rain didn't stop nor their feelings, it continued for years up until now. It faded but they stayed.

This is the true love that I now realize, it is not something I can find to someone else or something. It is beside me, the Kyle Jimenez I ever dreamed of.

They arrived and ran inside soaking wet, both of them ran to their rooms.

Coleen went to the shower and not even stopped smiling, she prepared herself and went to Kyle's room after.

Kyle was there sitting in his bed, smiling. "So, let's watch a movie together?" Coleen offered.

"Yeah, do you want one movie for tonight?"

"No, I want five and of course, with you."

Kyle went downstairs and prepared some popcorn, got some coke from the refrigerator.

While Coleen was left and started searching for new movies in his laptop, she did not pick a movie yet because she is going to wait for Kyle. Coleen wanted to let Kyle pick, she wants to turn the tables.

She doesn't want Kyle to feel unloved anymore, Coleen started to change herself for the better.

From now on, I will be the Coleen Hasine that will stay beside my love, the one who will give him love and care that he deserves.

I will settle everything tomorrow and have a new life.

"Is this a date?" Kyle went inside the room with 2 big containers of popcorn and 2 coke.

"This is a date with you, my love." Coleen replied.
