They're going now to the home of an Old man, and when they were along the way, Kreyzel asked his name "What's your name?"
The man looked at her "Chris, what about your name?" he asked it back
"Kreyzel, but call me Krey for short"
They're just continue walking when the oldman said "Did you know that name kreyzel means destiny?" with his smiling eyes and face.
Kreyzel immediately looked when she amazed to the word of Chris "How did you know about that?" her astonishing question to him.
"Just secret"
"Then why are you letting yourself get home at this kind of late time? And seems like, that art is very meaningful to you, is it wonderful?
The old man grinned and let the walk finishes before he talks, "I love how people asking me about their curiosity" with his chortle laugh
When they got arrived at the home of Chris. She asked him for permission of leaving. The old man nodded, to go leaving to him. But when she turned herself away. "You were asking me earlier, I know you are a little curious on how I view the art, you wanna know the story behind" asked Kreyzel, a serious voice
"Behind what?"
"Behind that particular art, I know you are confused about their decision, but I promise, you'll be more successful than them, just comeback here tomorrow, and I'll tell you something"
The voice is very interesting, but made Kreyzel a little curious, why does he know about the rejection from work? Kreyzel didn't respond anything, but she nodded and walked away because it's a late night.
The new day has arrived since she's no longer from her work at the museum. She then went to the house of Chris. Exactly 10 am when she arrived, her mouth suddenly had a smile when she saw the simple "sopas dish "on the table and Chris offered her,
"Why have you prepared that? I think it's a normal day" She gazed at the sopas since it's her favorite food.
"It's been a long time since last the person visited my place, and it feels like 1960 again" He smiled
Kreyzel just realized that she's all alone "Don't you have relatives?" She asked
"I have nothing left in my life" Chris said
Kreyzel asked him why and what happened to his life before, but instead of directly answering it, he just returned the question back to Kreyzel. He gets the coffee and asked her "What's the greatest thing happened to your life?"
"When my dad went back home again after his long break up with my mom" she said.
"You're lucky, a very lucky person, have you been in a relationship once?" asked by Chris. The way he asked it was too sharp, as Kreyzel didn't have any experience in love life before.
"Nope I've never been in" she simpered
"You're lucky, a very lucky person again" Chris said, her words made Kreyzel curious for a while.
"Why? What happened to you, to your life before?!" as she's so curious why Chris keeps asking him those things.
He takes the coffee on the table "I had no friends before except one, but seems you're so curious, are you?"
Her curiosity is deeply increasing over and over throughout the mind, so Kreyzel decided to tell him honestly, "Hi Mr. Chris, you've told me yesterday that you would tell me the story, and what is that story have you pointing out?" her face is beaming
Chris the oldman took a deep breath and start "Myself, I was a kind person before, I hate the persons that can be influenced me by doing the bad things, that's why people hate me for the things I hate, I really had no friends but a someone came, he was similar to me and became my friends afterward, I hate drinkers and smokers, that's why I was avoiding people like them"
Kreyzel was speechless cause she knows she's a drinker everynight. The one day will never pass without drinking an alcohol. But the next sentence of Chris was different.
The corner of his mouth quirked up and said, "I know you are a drinker, but I won't hate them any longer. I just wanna have friends at my shortest period of my time in this planet. Imagine hating the 90% percent of the total population of world is very hard.
That's why I changed and realized that if you changed yourself to be good to others, then they would be good to you at the same time."
"So you'll hate me just because I'm a drinker?" Kreyzel said
"Nope, I wanted to change myself to have a friend, unless you say that you're not in the 90% I mentioned, I don't have to change myself anymore," with lopsided smile
He took something from his pocket, he's having difficulty due to his age, so it takes a few seconds before getting it. Kreyzel's wondering what would be the thing from pocket. Chris made her curious once again. After a few seconds. He succeed to take this thing out of the pocket, and it was a broken watch. He then smiled at Kreyzel "It's really hard to be an oldman"
He blinked and started to tell something what she's curious about. "This watch is the proof that I'm older more than I know" said by his glimmering mouth"
(Chris POV)
"1949 when I met him, I like how his personality similar to mine, he was a good man more than you think, his hobby was just writing and planting beautiful roses at the garden. How rare he is.
"His name is Ricky, a good friend, never smokes, never drinks and hardworking.
He loves writing so much and never get depressed, always happy and ready for enjoyment. We were classmates before at the Candelaria High school when fun things came to us together.
"He didn't even hide a secret from me. Everything is so revealed as we're very close. One day he told me to take care of his property, but after that, I haven't seen him for a long time, there was no news, no communication to him.
It's been years since I'm taking care of everything he owns. Afterward, I noticed a little zipper in his cabinet when I was cleaning it. I noticed it's a secret zipper, When I open the zipper up, I saw this broken watch, I saw one painting, and a little box. Inside the little box, there are 2 notebooks. I saw his journal of himself and a notebook full of romantic poetries about love. There's a secret, a one secret, that he never told me about.
"Sometimes you will meet a person in the end, you just need to wait and don't excite for it, because that person would give you the best memories and scenario in the life." He glittery said.
