Feng Ping, University of Warsaw My lips trembled. I felt I couldn’t avoid the bitter feeling of breaking off the relationship with my ex-boyfriend. “Ping, I like you so much. I think you are a very smart woman. May I ask whether you want to accept my friendship? When we are in the plane, I said maybe we would meet somewhere in Croatia. “Now, we really meet. I feel there is a tie between us that connect you and me together. I think we can follow our hearts. This is also God’s arrangement.” I felt his words were very comforting, especially after I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. Before I could answer, it suddenly rained. Big raindrops fell down from the sky, dropping into the lakes. My clothes were wet. Dennis took off his coat, and put it on my shoulder. He held tightly my hands, and we walked together out of the entrance. I saw his hair was wet, so I wiped the raindrops off his face. We walked together to the restaurant near the Plitvice Lakes National Park. “Ping, how do you like the food in Croatia?” I laughed, and said, “I have eaten hamburgers all day. I don’t want to eat any more hamburgers in my life. I am sick of it.” “Haha. I am afraid that we have to eat hamburger in Plitvice Lakes again.” He made a face, and pointed at the menu. “This is the only restaurant nearby.” I pulled a long face, and ordered the food reluctantly. “You haven’t answered my questions,” Dennis said while drinking coffee. “Do you think we have a future?” I asked and laughed. “After Croatia, you will travel to another country, while I will go back to Poland.” “As long as you wish, we could keep in contact. The longest distance is the distance between two people’s hearts.” I felt my heart jumped fast. Should I take a risk? “I have WeChat. I could add you as my friend on WeChat. This is my email,” he said very fast. I was at a loss of what to do. “Let’s play a game. Let us be friends. We will see how long our friendship lasts.” I laughed, and finally said, “Yes, I will remember you, Dennis.” We indeed kept contact after the journey to Croatia. Whatever happened in the future, I would thank him. Because of him, I had a great vacation. I will always remember the beautiful scenery in Croatia, the art of God. |
