LOVER’S IN THE WIND

During the election day. Shelly’s father run for the office of Governor and won via unanimous votes. He then started the road concreting projects, building more infrastructure in every Municipalities, and an extravagant Grand Terminal in the City which by change Charles’s Construction Firm managing the projects and he is the chief engineer.

As for Shelly her father gave her a position in the province he made her the Provincial Project Manager. Wait a minute! “An Under Board Nurse become a Provincial Project Manager?” Well, there’s some things in the politics that we’d never understand. "SO BE IT" Let's just proceed to our story…..

One day Charles and Shelly met at the City Grand Terminal project site. While Charles manning the construction site, Shelly also went there to inspect how it is constructed. She ask one of the construction workers where is the site engineer, the worker pointed her out to the big truck behind the bunkhouse. Charles setting on his big truck noticing a pretty gal approaching “I THINK I KNOW THIS GAL RIGHT HERE” Hey! Shelly! He shouted. I knew that was you! What on earth you are doing here? Well, I understand that you are the site engineer, and it just happened that I am the Provincial Project Manager and I will see to it that your project here be done nicely and according to the standards… So you’ve better watch out I keep an eye on you! “Speaking seriously but with since of humor” Oh Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course Charles replied with smile on his face. Because they were high school friend, their chatter went on and on talking about what a day they have way back in high school and exchange experiences during colleges, until they are having this mutual understanding with each other that both don’t discuss about.

Months later both always met in the construction site. Every time Charles are there to see how the construction is doing, Shelly also is there to inspect the project at her own line of work. Without expressing their feelings to each other, they are like two love birds sitting on a tree branch feeling the breeze tickling the feathers beneath their wings. And times both are like a dry firewood and match waiting enough heat for the fire to strike. But both have no idea of what’s going on, they just flow where the wind blows.

One joyous night, Charles ask Shelly a dinner date to a newly opened fine restaurant witch he already booked a special place beforehand. Both sitting in a nice cozy place of the restaurant chatting, enjoying the night together waiting for their orders to be served, with a blink of an eye both notice a tall guy of a fairly dark skin went inside the kitchen. “I know that guy!” both spoke the phrase at the same time. A minute later a tall guy with fairly dark skin came out from the kitchen serving their orders. Ben! Ben! It was you! Both exclaimed. How are you buddy! We’ve missed you so much! Said Charles. Yes! We’ve missed you men! Shelly said awkwardly with a little blush remembering those night at the fine Diner on the Mountain top running away from Ben afraid that she might marry a fish ball vendor for the rest of her life.

Yes! I missed both of you and Robert too. How'd I wish we all could hang out sometimes, you know I’d been always dreaming of that day to come. Said Ben. Yeah! Yeah! We’ll make that happen I promise, I  will take care of that okay! said Charles.

Look at you! You look good on that waiter suite! Shelly spoke sneeringly. You look great men! What else you do aside from being this? Charles said with his hands palm open towards Ben. Well, I sell fish balls by day and work here as waiter from 6 to 11pm every night. Charles embraces Ben and said “I am so proud of you men so proud of you.”

 Being so happy meeting his two friends Ben acted professionally as a good worker of the restaurant. I am so happy to see you both in this fine place tonight, but I believed this is your date and I am the waiter assigned specially for you so, you can ask me anything you want to order I’ll be standing on that corner, if you have need of anything just raise your hand and I’ll be at your service. Enjoy the rest of the evening. He said this while pouring Champaign in their glass. As the night continued Charles and Shelly enjoyed their dinner date chatting, eating laughing together with a soft instrumental playing in the background.
