Unfathomable Attachments (part4)
“You guys remind me of my beloved. We teased each other just like that before.” Now her words create an awkward temperature between us. “Err. Gram, what do you mean when you said this is how you married Grap?” I broke the silence. “That is for you to know.” Okay, I guess coming here is no use at all. “Ah, did you know what happened to the oldest ghost in the garden?” She smiles at him. “He was the heart of the garden. He could’ve spent eternity there, but he chose to live a happy life.” We look at each other. “So where is he now?” GG asks. “He’s somewhere nice. Even I can’t visit him.” I was more puzzled. “That’s all I am to say. Time will tell you everything.”
We come home still with so many questions: what happened to the oldest ghost, and how is this related to Grap?
When I came home, my parents are already there. I hug my father real tight as I miss him so much. “Your mom told me that you’re ready for a boarding school. So, there’s no problem now?” Gosh, I now can’t take back my words. “Yeah, but I want to be alone in a room. I don’t like having a roommate.” I should make sure I am alone or else, everybody will call me insane when they see me talking to no one. “That’s no biggie honey.” My dad is the greatest. “I will be taking Architecture dad, just like Grap.” I look at my mother who did the enrollment, and she’s not even bothered. He touches my head. “It’s decided then.”
Two weeks passed, and I am now in the airport. In few hours, I’ll be in the city. Gosh I’m so nervous. This is my first time traveling alone. I’ve been in the city for few times, but that’s when I had my vacations with my parents. Now it’s only me. I landed my sight at GG. Oh! It was supposed to be me alone, but I realize he’s coming with me. “Be more careful okay? You are going to study there, not to find a boyfriend or do something else not related to study” reminds mom. I hug her, dad, Ma Jen and Kenneth. He comes to see me off. “It’s not bad to find a boyfriend, girl. Believe me, but don’t forget to find one for me.” I roll my eyes. He really has something when it comes to guys.
“I really thought he was straight when I first saw him in the picture” GG voices. I just laugh shaking head as we walk to the entrance. For once I twist my body to see my family and wave at them. It’s a good thing that I am not that close to them or else I would be crying while taking my steps away from them. Sure – we are family and friends, but we don’t have a deep relationship. It’s not that we don’t talk. Just we don’t share much of feelings, secrets or experiences. There may be some, but not much enough to form a deeper relationship.
When we are on board, I sit near the window. Luckily, there is not much of a passenger or else there is no seat left. No one’s taking the seat next to me, so GG takes it. After a while, we had our flight. When it landed, we take a taxi to our school. It’s only few minutes away from the airport. I only had a luggage so it’s not a hassle moving in. As for the other things needed, like school supplies, curtains, bed sheet and pillows, I will buy them here in the city. I will just go for a shopping may be tomorrow.
We arrive at the dorm at 17:00. I ask the dorm keeper for the dorm reservation under my name. My mother reserved me a room online. It was an all girls’ dorm. Boys’ are somewhere else. The dorm keeper gives me the key, and she also walks me to the room.
The dorm is a three-story building. My room is on the second floor. On our way, I see a girl carrying a basket of laundry up to the rooftop. That’s probably where we will hang our clothes to dry. “If you need anything you just can ask me to give you advices.” She smiles at me and I smile back. “I will, thanks.” She then left, and I enter the room with GG.
The room is painted with aristocrat peach. The color is cheerful and bright. Luckily, my room is at the first in a row. I got four windows in total. Much airy feels. Good thing is that it’s air-conditioned. I turned to look at the room.
From the entrance, the mini kitchen is found at the left side, the bathroom is on the opposite. The bed is in the middle of two glass windows facing the door. The bedside table is on the left, and it has a small lamp. Half meter away from it is the white five-layer mini shelf. The right side of the wall is a full length mirror and beside it – are two dressers with the same colors as the room, and a wooden study table in between. Under it was a pale pink chair. There’s white table with a mirror at the edge of the wall, and also a white chair. Opposite to it is a white small dining table with two chairs. This looks more like a condo.
I put my luggage at the foot of the bed. “I’ll unpack tomorrow. Let’s find something to eat.” He nods and we went outside the campus. I had a few research about the dorm...
