A Story about Waiting

This is a story about a waiting girl with no opening and no ending, just durative waiting and inevitable disappointment.

A young lady is lingering in the street, step by step. No one knows who she is, and no one in the street knows what she is waiting for or what she is planning to do. Lights along the street emitting a soft light, her shadow is drawing long and short. The moonlight is shading a drawing on her face. Cold winds cutting through her scanty clothes, she breathes out at her trembling hands. Does she feel cold? No one has asked, but her insistence in waiting and lingering around makes people feel great commiserative and also curious.

Along with the continuous clicks of her watch, she is holding her mobile in her hands, sliding the cover up and down. Why don’t come? If there is a law about keeping others like this, the one this girl is waiting for should be seriously punished.

All of sudden, fireworks banged impressively. A panorama of colors fills the clear sky. The obscure symphony of happiness flows in from the distance. She widens her eyes, raises her head and stared at the firmament. Flames of fireworks waver in her eyes.

Gurgle of couples from the corner of the street punctuates her meditation. Once again, she bows her head, raises up her hand and slides up the mobile. It remains silent in her hands. She clenches her hands, pockets the mobile and turns around.

Her emaciate figure fled in obscuration, and never turns back. Why no one comes and meets her? We will never know, but we know, she is gone and will never come back.
