Not anywhere else, but in a giant cruise that
circled for a week or so.
I met a familiar person on the cruise. Of all
the cruises, the same one! I was so glad to see her. I smiled and said hello.
She turned her head away from me. Did I see it wrong? I was confused when she
pretended not to know me.
No matter how big the cruise is, it's bound to
hover in it once it's trapped. I saw her reading a book at the buffet. I went
to the table near her on purpose and sat down. I tried to pretend to know
again, but she kept her eyes on the book and didn't raise her head. She left
the book on the table and went somewhere. I looked at the cover of the book. It
was a Korean book.
Sitting on a deck, I saw her staring at the sea
again. Lodging about with nothing to do, I sat near her. I looked her carefully
to see if I really misjudged. She wanted to rest on her own, so she pretend she
didn't know me?
My husband didn't even get out of the cabins,
but he only watched the rolling sea on the veranda. I wished I had someone to
talk in the cruise. “Be stop. She doesn't like you. Why do you keep pretending
to know?" At last my husband shouted. With crushed pride, I no longer
looked at her. Swim, jog, dance, and went to the theater in the evening. I
busied myself around the schedule.
While I was playing well, when I see the
rolling sea, why did I come to mind her face filled with distorted anger. Is
she depression? Was her business ruined? Was she divorced? 'Why does she
pretend she doesn't know me?
My husband also had no words what he thinks
while looking at the vast ocean. In the late 60s, his father worked as a chef
for three years on a cruise leaving Miami. Are you recalling your father, who
only worked inside the ship to support his family? We were done with the
unpleasant journey.
She showed up at a monthly meeting. In its
attire at the cruise. Did not give eyes once. There are times when life becomes
unbearable and don't want to pretend to know people. Still, isn't it too much
to crouch self while throwing away basic feelings as a person? Even the unknown
people on the cruise said hello each other, but. I do not bother people even if
say hello because I enough to live in America.
