Happiness Is Located Where The True Love Is.
In the mid-summer, it was a bit humid. A lady used her handkerchief to wipe out her sweat on her forehead and went to a local shop for some pop. She carelessly left her handkerchief at store.
“Miss! Miss! Your forgot your handkerchief!”, the boy assistant at store ran to her and yelled.
“Thanks, good boy!” the blond lady replied and received the handkerchief from the local young boy.
This lady was 5.6’ tall, slender with a pair of big eyes and curly wavy blonde hair. She was at the 30 something. She dressed very posh and modern. She doesn’t look like a villager. She looked like a city cat. The lady was called Amanda. Actually She was not a strange here, just left here 6 years ago. Therefore, the young boy could not recognise her.
Amanda actually was a run-away mother. She ran away from her husband and her little boy. These years she was away but her heart very left her family. Howard loved her a lot, she was very clear but her dream made her end up a severe decision for her life. She needed a holiday, a long holiday from her ordinary life. She needed an adventure. But this adventure cost a lot, her husband Howard and only child Ingram.
After 6 years away from home, she had done well with her dreams. She had become a successful actress in the UK. She took main roles the most of famous shows in the theatres of London. The achievement didn’t bring her more happiness but more loneliness. She took one-month holiday during the break of re-signing the contracts to come back to her hometown, Western Rhyn. Western Rhyn was a small village in the Oswestry. People here were very kind and friendly. Most of people were churchgoers. Most of activities had been held in the local churches. In this farming field you could smell natural fragrance from variety of trees, grasses, leaves and livestocks. It made people feel calm when they stay here. It was not traffic and air pollution. It was a Neverland for retired people. The scenery had been not changed too much, and she still could find her old house she had spent the marriage life with Howard. She was very nervous when she arrived at the front door.
She knocked the door and said, “ any body home?”
She had knocked 3 times. No one answered the door.
She was confused. She thought,” this house is a dream house to Howard. He loves this house so much. It is impossible for him to sell it out.”
All of sudden, there was a thought coming to her head, “Why don’t I go to see Lesley. She might help me out.”
Lesley was one of her best friends who still stayed in this small village. Lesley was 5.3 feet tall plain lady with bright ginger hair. Lesley ran a beauty parlor next to a local post office. Lesley always liked to change her hairstyles and she had a research mind with her hair dressing business. She was not very beautiful but she had very skilful fingers. She can turn an ugly duck into an elegant swan. She had a nickname called Magic Wand the Ginger by her customers. Before Amanda left the village, Lesley was the one handled her hair. Lesley never failed her. At the moment, Lesley was the only one Amanda could think and get help from.
In the beauty parlor, it came out women’s chatting and chucking voice. Few customers were still in the quene waited for serving. In this small village, women liked to get together here to talk about gossips. Lesley was serving an old lady. The old lady fell into asleep. Lesley was chatting with the her assistant, Judy.
All of the sudden, Lesley found one fashionable and modern lady standing behind the window, and she wanted show Amanda hospitality and try approaching to her. Lesley was shocked the lady was one of friends.
She blinked twice and thought, “It must be illusion. It couldn’t true.”
Suddenly, her tear burst out and yelled, “ Amanda, it is you. I miss you so much. Where have you been all these years? I almost cannot recognise you. You are so fashionable now. There is no message from you whatsoever. I am your friend.”
The face of Amanda, at this moment, had been covered her tears and couldn’t say any words. The only words she could express were “Sorry! Sorry! I have been a very bad friend to you.”
Lesley and Amanda held each other tightly. The tears of happiness completely wet both of their bodies.
Lesley turned her head and yelled to her assistant and said, “ Lucy! Please take care my client; I have an important quest now. Cancel all appointments tomorrow!”
Lesley led Amanda to King’s Cross to have a chat. This pub just located around the corner. The pub had been their favourite place before Amanda left here. They ordered two pints of lager and sat at the corner table they were used to sit just like the old time. Lesley wanted Amanda to leak out all the things Amanda had done in London in the past 6 years. Amanda was just like a prisoner to be questioned by Lesley. Amanda told Lesley every thing without any secrets. However, Amanda was successful with her career, she still looked a bit tired and isolated.
Lesley felt very curious and strange; then, she said, “ You have done well with your career. Why do you look so depressed and frustrated?”
Amanda replied, “I have been lost myself in London for so long. Loneliness and tiredness are eating my heart. I feel so lonely. You know money cannot buy true love and true love is not easy to be found. Now I know Howard and Ingram are my true love. Do you know where they are? The house seems that it has been empty for a while. Where are Howard and my little boy?
Lesley sighed and said, “ Howard left the house a week after your leaving. He came here to give me a key and asked me to give the key to you in case you are back. Besides that, he only told me he needs a break from this place, and then he left with Ingram. I don’t know where he went. He have not give me any message since then. “
Lesley gave Amanda the key and said, “ Go to the house, and you may find something you need.”
Amanda thanked Lesley and left for the house.
It had been 6 years, so the lock has been a little stiff and not easy to be opened. She had tried so hard to open the door.
Most of the furniture had been covered the white sheets except a round shape table. The round shape table was Amanda’s favourite. It was a gift from her grandma. As soon as she saw this table, the memory with Howard and her little boy all came back to her. In the past, she was used to sit besides the table to knit for her family or read books and watch Howard and Ingram playing in the front yard. She closed her eye without consciousness, and she could felt it seemed Howard and Ingram werestill around her. She could hear their laughing and yelling. After she opened her eye, she found all the vision had gone.
Unexpectedly, she found a letter Howard left to her under a sea world design paper stand on the table. As soon as she saw this letter, she felt so panic and her heart bit randomly. This time she wanted to face her life and she understood she was the one failed Howard and left him without notice. Howard was a nice family man. Whatever he wrote in the letter, she would accept. She used her shaking fingers to open the letter. While she was reading it, her tears went down her check emotionally.
Amanda, my dearest love,
If you read this letter, it means you are coming back, and Ingram and I have a place in your heart. We have been with each other for a long time since we were kids. When we vowed for our marriage in the church, I already contribute myself to our family. You are sweet, intelligent girl. I know you have a lot of dreams to achieve. I know I was selfish to tie you up so quickly before you already had working experience. The normal family life bored you. You wanted to see life and see people. I kept stopping you and knocking you down. What I have done to you makes you leave without a piece of notice. I can understand. I do so sorry. You are my only love. No woman can replace the importance of your role in my life. I will keep waiting for you until you are back. Do you still remember the hut we built for our honeymoon in Chester? Ingram and I will be here waiting for you.
See you soon
Your love Howard and Ingram.
After these 6 years leaving her home, she really really missed her family. She never had thought Howard still loved her. She had thought he must hate her a lot. However, it proofed she was wrong about Howard. She put down the letter and treaded on the path to the old hut for true love.
