KISS YOU (A BIAMI ORIGINAL)

XII

The mass has just ended , I let my parents walk before me as we headed towards the door out of the church, I gently smiled when I saw them walking hand in hand

I dream of having what they have, they always balance each other out that never in my whole life have I ever heard them talk at the same time, like when one of them is talking regardless of how heavy their conversation or argument gets, the other one listens

We're heading to our favorite restaurant in town, it has been a routine for us as a family, every sunday, no matter how work goes with the company, my dad never failed to meet us at the church every sunday and grab some lunch after, she lets mom drive while I'm at the backseat

After my mom had secured the car in the parking lot of the restaurant, I opened the door before them and went straight inside to look if our favorite spot has been taken, it's lunch time so it's expected that patrons are gonna come rushing any minute by now, I took one of the seats and waited for my parents,

One of the waitresses came over the very second they got seated handing us the menu over,

Orders were served in not more than fifteen minutes , and this is what we like most about this restaurant, my dad is very particular with time, and they always have been so efficient that we're afraid of going anywhere else.

My dad started talking about his problems with the company while my mom told him about how she's planning to branch out for her flower shop

"Well, that's a good idea honey - don't get me wrong but that's gonna consume all of you now, it's nice to know that Bianca will atleast have one parent home" my dad answered to her proposal after giving me a slide glance

A couple of seconds of silence before I heard my mom gasping "Oh I'm so sorry , right - what kind of a mother am I , I shouldn't have even thought about that"

And that's when I decided to join in "Mom, I'm 19 - do whatever makes you happy, I can take care of myself"

They both looked at me with smiles on their faces

"Are you now?"

"Uh-hmn" I hummed sending them their smiles back

The bell on the door chimed signalling that a new customer has just entered, I'm beside my dad and we both have our backs at the door while my mom sat on the other side - I watched my mom as she looked up like something caught her attention

"Isn't that Yumi?" she asked with a lowered voice this time

I froze - It can't be

I slowly turned my body around to look at where my mom's eyes were

and that's when I saw them...

Yumi's back was at me as she was backhugging a woman while they're walking towards a table in the corner

Was that even necessary?

Life's a bitch isn't it? I wish Life has a life too , that it will be visible with hopes that I can kill it for messing with my mind

"Yep, it's yumi" my mom concluded

and before I can stop her

"Hey Yumi - over here!" she called out

I facepalmed when some heads turned around to look at us,

"I'm sorry , I need to use the comfort room" I immediately excused myself

I went straight to the comfort room, I didn't take any cubicle, I didn't plan to - I just needed an escape

I looked at the mirror to see myself looking right back at me , I looked pale , dark circles are starting to get visible around my eyes , I leaned down to the faucet and splashed some water on my face trying to turn my tensed muscles down, I don't know how in hell will that work but , I have nothing else to do, I took some tissues and wiped my face with it... After what feels like ten minutes , I decided to come out, I figures Hi's and Hello's must have been exchanged and Yumi should be back on her table now together with whoever she was with
