Miss Curvy and Mr. Six Pack

Prolouge

This is it.

Once I stepped out from this door, my life would change forever.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and hold it for a couple seconds and release it. I opened my eyes as I grabs the handle of the door with my right-hand. I glance over to two giant suitcases on my left and adjusting the weight of my backpack on my back with my left hand. Without hesitate I swing the door and revealed the small garden in front of our house and My Mom that stood beside the driver of my taxi, they're talking about something that I can't heard. The sound of the door made my Mom tilted her head and walk towards me, she's extending her hand offer me a help with my belongings but I refused, "It's okay Ma, I can do it myself."

As if she didn't listen to what I said, she grabbed one of the suitcases and pushes it towards the taxi. The driver quickly took the suitcase from my Mom's hand and put it in the trunk of the car, and then he took the other suitcase from my hand and put it as well.

"Thank you." I said to the driver while he close the trunk door. He smiles and walked to the driver seat.

I glance over the house that I live for 23 years and walked towards my Mom that now holding the passenger door with a wide smile. I can see a hint of sadness in her eyes but it's quickly go away while she's smiling wider. I give her a shy smile and hug her as my eyes start to blur and I feel the heat in the back of my eyes. I don't want her to see me crying because this is what I want. This is my decision to make and she was nothing but support me. I quickly brushed the tears before it falls from my eyes.

My Mom is the strongest woman in the world. When I told her that I got the opportunity to work in America about a month ago, she was surprised at first but then she was nothing but support me in every way she could. She always courage me to chase everything that makes me happy since I was a very little girl. Being the only child, most of other kids will be spoiled, and yes, me too. But unlike other kids that spoiled with toys, money and all that stuff, I was spoiled with love and attention from my Mom. We're not from a healthy family, but my Mom always makes sure that I got everything that I need, sometimes more than what a kid needs. She worked so hard yet still had time for me and giving me the world.

I let go my Mom slowly and kiss her on her cheek. I thought I'm going to see tears in her eyes, but I was a little bit surprised when all I see was happiness. I know that deep inside she must be feeling sad since her only children will left her to another side of the world.

"Take care my Clarity baby, be safe, and don't forget to call me when you're arrived." She cups my left cheek with her right hand. And then land a very soft kiss on both of my cheek.

I nod. "You too, Ma. I love you." I said.

"I love you too my daughter." She gestured me to hop in to the taxi.

When I'm already inside the taxi, she closed the passenger door for me. As the driver hit the gas slowly, she waved at me and smiling wide. A moment later she walked towards the house while both of her hands held her mouth.

My Mom was crying. I feel a sharp pain in my chest as my vision begun to blurry and streams down my eyes. I can't helped it anymore. I let myself crying in the silence. The driver was glancing at my direction for a moment and then his eyes back to the road. At that moment I don't care if the driver, heck even if a President saw me crying or not. I'm not the type of a person that shame to express my feelings to the world, if I'm happy, I'll show that to the world and if I'm sad I'll show that too.

I'm gonna prove it that I can do it, for you Ma. I told that to myself as I wiped the tears from my face.

My name is Clarity Adam. I was 23 years old when for the first time in my life I stepped foot on America. I am a plus size-curvy-chubby-big boned fat girl since I was a little with a little too much confident. Being the 'over confident' person, sometime makes me forgot about my size—well my best friend once told me that I had too much confident for one person that actually can split it in to three person. It's true, though. I am that type of person that always grateful for everything that I had even my body, but I also an ambitious person, I'll chase and make sure that I got what I want.
