I saw the headlights piercing the cold night and the exhausted gas dancing on them like on surreal masterpiece. It was that beautiful that the i forget for a minute the filing of abandonment in my heart. The car slowly back off on the snowy driveway, swiftly turn on the street and before i new it they were gone. Piece of my heart chipped off and fall on the ground like icicle. I went back home, roamed around like abandoned dog and almost howled in the hollow house. I stopped and listened. No sound – they were gone - he and my little girl were gone.
Just a minute ago they were here bustle up and down in the house, fussing over close and accessories. I was hurrying between ironing pants, looking for undershirts, I barely reassured my worried little girl that this tights will be just as fancy with this shoes as they look good with no tights at all. (Just think - 20F and not even tights in the name of beauty. This girls grow so fast.) And of course had to reassure him that dressy pants and shirt will be not too fancy for the place they will go. I was flying to check up on his shoes and to move the button on her “to loose” skirt. Running up and down suddenly realized a ghost is running with me. I looked around and smiled – was Cinderella. Or Cinderella was me ?
- Ready to go? She was on the stairs and was looking at him with big bewildered eyes. The overhead light gloriously scattered sparkles on her beautiful blond hear.
- Just a moment! Something is missing! Where are your jewels? - The most beautiful blue eyes on the world widened even more with panic. – You remember, you just need to say – “I wish, I wish with all my heart to have my jewels back!”
- “I wish, I wish with all my heart to have my jewels back!” recite she with a small voice. I a minute a pretty simple necklace and stud yearnings failed on place.
- I am going to wait for you in the car. She has her coat on and her little white purse. So beautiful and so uneasy –she breaks my heart. How do you put these two together? I want to fly with her, to hide in one of her sparkly earrings and whisper “wise advise” all night long. But i can not, I not suppose to and down right I better not go with her. I know all and still i 'am in verge of panic but I'm chirping instead
– Just a second. You need a drop of magic. My little perfume battle hidden for special occasions do the job.
Now they are gone. As she said – That is my first date mammy. And despite – the man is her father and my beloved husband i feel my heart sinks within me.
Happy Valentine my dear – the life must go on. Shake your tale and run to make surprise cake for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Valentine day
