Redemption

First Thought (Part 1)

I can't remember my first thought of this world. But I definitely remember every detail of MY world. Thick, black eyebrows that almost become one at the middle. Big, sparkly, caramel-coloured eyes. Rosy cheeks, naturally pink lips. It's like she's God's perfect creation. Her beauty had already grasp my heart, let alone her personality. The 'I am very happy everyday and nothing could ruin them for me' attitude opposed mine. As a pessimist, my thought always lead me to think that I couldn't get her. Never, ever. Like ever, ever. And now I'm sitting outside her ward full of nurses and doctors. What happened?

This would be an incomplete story if I didn't tell you how we met. Or how I met her to be precise. It may be cliché but I'll tell it anyway. It was my 2 years-old-younger sister's graduation. I just can't really believe it. It's just like yesterday we ate mud together. And now she's a high school graduate. Words can't describe how proud I am.

"So what now?" I asked my sister. "Maybe college", Annie replied. "Where?" "I don't know. Maybe as near to home as it could". I laughed. I always know my sister is such a baby girl but I did not expect her to be like this. "Okay okay. I'm gonna grab some drinks. Would you like something?" She shook. "Well, suit yourself".

As I'm enjoying myself, a girl, lady to be exact, accidentally hit me from behind. The purple grape drink fell onto my white, and of course, ruining it. I know this would happened. The world had been nice to me today. All the lights were green on my way here. Of course this just the world tricks to make me happy before totally ruining it. Urgh! So I turned to face her to maybe just show my angry face but I can't just get angry. Would you be angry if you see an angel standing in front of you? Instead, I'm the one who said sorry.

"Sorry", the angel said "I didn't notice you just now".

"It's okay. I'm sister and this is my Aaron's graduation"

"What?" She burst into laughter when she heard my ridiculous sentence. I felt like the world is just trying to ruin my day in the worst way ever. Maybe she's going to tell everyone and everyone will think I'm stupid. And no one wants to marry a stupid guy. Curse you, world! I'll be a forever alone. "It's okay Sister", she teased me using my own sentence "I'm Delilah by the way. And this is my brother's graduation too".

She invited me to have a walk around the school with her. She's very talkative. I just met her but now I know about her more than I know myself. When she noticed that she talk too much, she stopped and asked me to tell about myself. "Well, I'm 20 years old big boy that organized a charity organization called Give Hope. It's just a small project trying to help people that are lack of basic needs like food or clothes even". "Wow. I'm impressed". Actually it sounds cooler than it is. I just searched for people that are willingly to donate their old but still wearable clothes, collects them and then give them to people like homeless. But hey, at least the angel was impressed.

"So Delilah, I know that this would sound ridiculous but would you like to have coffee with me tomorrow?"

"Let me think first" she replied. I was getting worried that she would rejected and I would only sound stupider than usual. "Yeah. It would be great. See you tomorrow" She gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.

Seriously world?! What happened to our hatred at each other? Did you forget that you hated me? Or is this just your biggest trick on me? Anyway, at first thought, I know this was going to be a perfect chapter in my book of life
