A Tree on My Way English Edition Pro
Here is a true story. I was in it, I’m still in it. And, I will go on being in it. I wish.
My senior middle school life was so smooth that looked like those lakes in the high mountains. But there were still something important to me. And somebody, somebody who had changed my life so deeply.
No doubt about it, she is the most beautiful lady that I have ever seen. Sometimes I thought that she must be an angel coming from the heaven.
There were only about 1200m that from my home to my school. Most of the time I walk to school. Her shop was just on my way to school, And, on my way home.
She had a small shop, sold not only clothes but also small and lovely things. But what caught my eyes was not the things she sold, it was just herself.
That was a special afternoon for me, I will never forget it. At the beginning, I was not very happy. In truth, very terrible. Everything went bad that morning. So everything in my mind was unpleasant. But, everything was changed that time, the time I saw her for my first time
Like a holy breeze, whisper across my heart, her appearance blew all the unhappiness and sadness away. If that were a dream, it must be the sweetest dream in my life. I could feel that I need to do something.
How can I get touch with her? Especially, for the first time? I was watching her, and I could feel that she was watching me.
“Why do I want know her?” I asked myself. But for so many years, I never find the answer. Maybe the God want me to. So it’s my destiny.
I set up a project. I prepared for the first meet for at least one month. I got ready for everything, even what to say. But still can’t make up my mind.
She’d got job in the office. That shop, that was her “hobby”, I said I got ready for everything, but I need an opportunity to start my project. I was waiting and waiting.
At that time, for she was too busy to take care of her shop. She wanted to sell it.
At that time I know that the opportunity will not come itself. If I went on waiting, there will be no future between us.
That was a sunny afternoon; I decided to do the first meeting. “Do not be nervous,” I said to myself, “at least do not show it out!” I went in to her shop, wanted to READ the words that I’ve prepared for a long time.
To my surprise, before I said anything, she said one word, a word make me forget all the words I‘d prepared to say. Do you know what it is? She called my name.
Of course I did not know her name at that time. But why did she know my name? She never told me the answer. And it is not important any more.
So we know each other after that wonderful meeting, and we became good, deep friends.
By the way, the word “friend” is special to me. In my opinion, I could have lots of mates such as classmates, schoolmates, club mates…but I could not have many friends. If you ask me how many friends I have, I am sorry to tell you, less then ten.
And she is one of them.
In the three months before she sold her shop out, we had a happy time together. For this, I wrote a composition named “A Tree on My way”. She and others who had read it liked the composition very much, including my Chinese teacher. But most of them thought that “she” was a real tree. Some of them went to find that “tree” on the way. Only few of my friends know she is a real beauty.
She and I have many points in common. Both she and I like music, reading, traveling, and so on. At that time, nearly every afternoon, when I went to school, I would go to her shop first and have a talk with her. She always played a CD, we talked by music. But sometimes we didn’t say anything, just listened to the music and read books.
Finally, at the end of the year, the shop was sold out. She had to leave.
At that time, I didn’t know whether we could meet again or not. I hoped so. So I wrote another composition named 《夏雁秋回》, her name was just hidden in this title, and I hoped she would be back.
For quite a time we did not see each other. We kept in touch with each other by phone. I wrote a letter to her, but she didn’t write back.
“She’d disappeared in my life,” I thought, “forever.”
After that, I mean at least half year later, it was another sunny day. I was back home from a race. Because the race was hold in No.1 Middle School, far away from my home, I rode a bicycle. And the biggest park in the city---Green Lake Park---was on my way back home. Under the sunshine, I was riding the bicycle at a high speed, SONY CDMAN EJ-915 in my school bag, SONY MDR G-73 on my ears. The CD which was being played named “THE ROCK”, just the one I played first in her shop.
I didn’t fall into the music completely because I was riding, that would be dangerous. And, the address she gave me for letters were quite nearly. “My sister’s home’s here.” she said.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in, I mean, rushed into my view. It was her!
For my high speed, when I stopped bicycle, I’d passed her about 3m. She saw me at the mean time. So, for the second time, she called me before I called her.
In truth, I did not know what at all.
“I don’t know you could ride a bicycle! I think you are a walker!” she said, “And you ride the bicycle so crazily!”
“Yeah…” I could just say, “I…I…How are you going in these days?”
“Oh, everything goes well. What about you?”
“Err…not very…not very bad.”
“So, why are you here? It is not an accident, is it?”
“Can’t be. I have a race in No.1 Middle School. I’m going back home now.”
“Race? Good! So, what about the result?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Oh, I know you will win. You always say you don’t know the result, and you win every time.”
“I…Thanks. I hope so.”
“Right. Err, have you had your lunch?”
“Not yet. See? I’m rushing home for that.”
“Good. So, why don’t you have lunch with me?”
It had been 11:50. I was hungry. Should I have lunch with her? I know if I get home before 12:30, everything will be fine. But if after that, it will be very terrible. My mother will be very angry.
“Come on! I make the lunch all by myself, don’t you want to have a taste?”
How can I refuse her? If so, the God will be angry.
“All right. Thank you.” I said. She then smiled, so sweet. I nearly fall down from my bicycle.
I get home at 15:30 that day, and I found a piece of paper on the table, said:
“This noon mommy has some work to do. You have to cook the lunch by yourself. I know you are good at cooking. Take care of yourself. Be careful of the fire.
Mother
Time and date”
Oh, it looked like the God did me a favor.
Once again, I had a place to let my heart have a rest. She opened another shop beside the Green Lake. At least once a week, I went there. Just like before, talking with her, listening to the music, reading books, and, watching the nice view.
Once again, I wrote another composition named “Different Green Lake”, which was liked by all the people who had read it.
What is the relationship between us? We never think about that. When we are together, I feel my soul is cleaned.
We are special friends. She is 6 years older then I, and she had got married. But she never talks about her husband. I never ask about him too. She gives me lots of experience about life. And I think she knows what she gets from me.
Although she is older than I, I always call her “little Summer”. Summer is her family name. stay together with her, I always feel “明镜止水” （calm inwardly）.
Now we are far away from each other. But we still stay together. You know what do I mean, don’t you?
Thank the God for giving me such a friend.
By the way, the name of the shop is “Simple is beautiful”. She never wears much makeup. So I can see real her every time. We always show our SUBSTANCE to each other, that is why we could have such a real, long, nice friendship.
More feeling could just store in my heart. I can’t write it down in English. What a shame! But, I am sure you have known the most important thing between she and I, haven’t you?. |
