HUNGRY FOR ICE CREAM

After a moment of silence i walked over to her and hugged her from behind, and she held my hands, and i said it's beautiful, " as my annoyance and irritated feelings disappeared.

Hmm , she hummed in response

I remember i once promised to buy you one , someday in the future, so just wait until then , refrigerator will get even more beautiful as they will be designed more beautiful, " i said in a comforting, low voice,

Hmm , she hummed again in response as i can see her smiles

If my mom wanted, she could have had it all . When my mom was at my age, a rich man from an outside country wanted to marry her to his only son , who is the hairless for theire family company and everything his parents grandparents had , it was all in his name after he get married to and outside girl .

but she rejected as she already knew my dad and she had loved him since then at that time she was 13 and now she is 38 and still loves him .

I love you, mom, " i whisper in her ears, and she turns to look at me and says," i love you too as she held me in her embrace , i guess she knew right now am emotional and that happenes when i remembered they story she tells us about her past , some times i hate my dad for cheating on her . She deserves better ..

After a while

Mom , I am hungry, i said after hearing my tummy again

Okay, let us go to a restaurant, " she said

Mom , i am hungry for ice cream and only ice cream , "i said while holding her arms again

Okay , okay , let me pay off at the cashier , "mom said as she walked away from us

After a while at [ cone shop ]

Okay , i will buy it. You guys can sit over there i said, pointed to a seat , sending them away as i know my mom would want to pay but now am a teenager she should at least let me fo this mush as i could never repay her for her work as a mother .

Can i have one chocolate, two bananas ''N'' strawberry, and two vanilla . DON'T ASK WHY I BUY 5 AND IT IS JUST 3 OF US .

of course, i have to get two vanilla ic cream cones and if my mom isn't able with 2 , i gusse that makes it 2 and a half for me , Don't worry about amy half is enough to full her ... so just make it 3 for me .

Amy , come get yours. , " i call her as i can't carry all of it .

As she collected her chocolate, i took the other two for mom as there was no way i could order her to come get hers as i did with Amy .

I gave her favorite cone , which is bananas and strawberry, I had to go back and get mine

After sitting there in the playground of the ice cream shop as i eat my first cone

Some school kids came in and unexpected my ex bestfriend was there among them , Elwyn Evans , most of his friends call him Elle and sometimes even call him Elle Evans as in the ELLE EVANS FROM kissing booth to tease him but for me it was always Elwyn. I had never called him any nicknames because Elwyn suits him just perfect. He is 10 months younger than me . When i first got transferred to Holy name primary school Anexe , because we moved from city to another , he was the first one to make friends with me. When i got bullied, he would come to my rescue, and he would take me out and buy me ic cream . Back then, we were just 4 and 5, but he was well mature than me and would sometimes call me a kid because of my clumsiness .

After being with him for a week , I began to love to go to school there after a while because of Elwyn. Everyone wanted to be my friend , i guess, because they wanted to be Elwyn friend , well i can't blame them. Elwyn was cute he had a babe face , i mean, like he had chubby cheeks , it was soft as i held his cheeks more than once, and black eyes, black hair , fair skinned , he was short and cute but sometimes cold and hard to deal with , i mean i had seen him like that with others but with me , he is not thing more than a innocent cute beloved Angel , but in sometimes after almost 4 years of being bestfriends we grown a part. well, i kept my distance..

he tried getting things back together, but i didn't try . Ever since i met jamol , i could focus more on him because of a secret feeling i developed, and it was wrong ...

i stopped talking to Elwyn like we used to before. We didn't grow apart, and we fell apart. And even if i never admitted it to anyone, i was they one to be blamed , i made a mistake, but Elwyn never judged me, but i felt imberessed, i felt ashamed of my actions. And i felt confused sometimes, too . Sometimes Jamol isn't my first love , he may be my first crush, but when it comes to love, there might be a possibility that someone else was my first love though i said jamol is my first love , no maybe he is not as kids we had alot of crushs that you even forgot you even liked after a time but when it comes to Elwyn and Jamol i couldn't choose but i did because Elwyn is younger than me , so i put my feelings i had for him aside .

Now, as i look at him , he still has chubby cheeks, but his face has a little longer , not that round anymore, and his eyes carry no emotions , not even hate . Unlike the ones i remember that always show care , love , and gentle , i remember everything, and yes, he has a right to show no emotions to me , i found out a few months before graduations that Elwyn liked me and i was the closet girl he had ever been with , My cousin Alex told me as he said he dare Elwyn to tell him who he liked and he call my name .

As they walk in my mom call them as she knew them because Elwyn mother Elena and mom became friends after me and Elwyn became friends as Elwyn family would sometimes take me home with them for birthday partys or anything that Elwyn invites me for .

Elwyn , " she called him, and i looked away as ge came close .

Did your mother come out of the hospital already , "mom asked in concern.

No, this afternoon, she is getting discharged , " Elwyn answered in that same voice i always remember.

How are you, kim , " Elwyn friend asked me. As we were once friends too so he also calls me Kim instead of kimanda like other kids .

He and Elwyn have always been friends since before i knew Elwyn .

Am okay Andel, how about you , " i asked as he still showed he noticed my appearance while Elwyn didn't, but i don't blame him .

Kim , why don't you give Elwyn your ice cream, as you have not touched it yet? " mom asked while looking at my untouched ice cream that is in my left hand . hell no .. i have been begging to come here so i could get to eat my ice cream, but now this .. UNBELIEVABLE.

Mom... i pause as i look at Elwyn, and our eyes meet. i noticed something there , it seems like something amusing happened to him . It was like he was laughing at my reaction inside . Of course, he knows i love ice cream more than anything as he was they one who spoils me with it .

Just as he was about to say something, i interrupted

You can have it as it is your favorite, too , i said while giving it to him in which he collected as he locked his sight with mine . But i removed my gaze and noticed Andel chuckling as he took mom untouched ice cream .

You still remember, what is his favorite ice cream tho you haven't even talked to him for years ? What about me , do you remember my favorite ice cream, Andel asked

No , i don't remember because you never bought your favorite ice cream for me , i said

Okay , " Andel said as he gave up .. as it was the truth

But wasn't he your b...

Was he her boyfriend, " Amy asked as she interrupted Andel

God dammit what is in her head is boyfriend they only thing she could think about it.

Ha ha ha, " Andel laughed while mom gave me a curiosity gaze , while Elwyn looked flushed, and i was embarrassed as they all look at me and Elwyn even his other friends that i don't know , were smiling at us .

As me and Elwyn glare at Andel if looks could have killed , i swear Andel would have been a dead man by now

No Amy , i mean to say they were best friends like tom and jerry .

After we came home i went through my childhood diary and there i saw a few songs i wrote and decided to write a new one .

Yea, i had walked a thousand miles away ... away from you , but if i can turn back time, i promise i won't be here. I would have been there in your arms .
