I read the book all weekend, I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't stop reading. Nothing much really happened, just those two spending time together and getting to know a lot better.
I actually felt quite happy when I was reading the book. I'm not really interested in romance since well...I don't have much hope that a couple will end well in real life. Maybe when their love story ended, they didn't really had a happy ending. I believe that it's just a long phase of someone you thought you'll spend the rest of your life with.
I slept with ease, hoping to read the book tomorrow at school. It's the last week too, we were done with tests and projects so we have a lot of free time. I don't have to go to school but I don't want to stay at home neither.
At school, I read the book smiling. My classmates were surprised, it's unusual for me to smile in school. It's probably the first time they saw me like this.
It's a thin book but surprisingly there's a lot of contents in this book. I thought I was gonna finish it in one day but I guess not.
Back at home, I was still reading the book in my bed. When suddenly Daisy had a dream, she was having a blast in her journey then a big, thick wall appeared out of nowhere.
The next day I have found out that the night before Kai will propose to Daisy...he got hit by a truck. He was in a coma.
If this was based on the old lady's life then is her lover still in a coma? She's so... patient? How can she wait that long? She sounded so young and optimistic when she met him and now...she's old and fragile. I feel bad...is this the wall that she faced in her dreams? Will she overcome it? I guess will know.
...
He had a seizure and...passed away.
So...this was the big, thick wall? Hm, how will she recover? She fell deeply. How will she get out of that hole?
Hours later...I finished it.
The last sentence said: 'Don't get stuck in your journey because of a wall that seems impossible to go through. Climb it or find a way around it.'
...
What!? That's it? It ended just like that?
I decided to pay the shop a visit.
I stood in front of the counter. "You're gonna end the story with some kind of stupid joke? Is your name really Daisy? I have never heard anyone call you that-" She cut me off.
"Yes, I ended the story like that. My name is not Daisy, it's Mia. Mia Rose." She looked at me unbothered.
I'm annoyed. "Why?" I asked.
"He called me that because that's his favorite flower and I'm his favorite person." She answered nonchalantly.
...
"I don't get you. But why haven't you met someone new since you've overcome losing him...are you afraid?" What? I was curious.
"I'm not afraid. I didn't give my heart to someone else because I was afraid, I was satisfied with my life. I felt complete with just me and my cat and his memories that I live with, not with regret but with contentment that I met someone like him." She's serious?
