Can you say you're an optimistic person?
Tell you what,
the news I received on Monday still remained firmly in my mind.
And I can hardly remove the scene I saw that day.
"He was smiling and greeting us at first.
But when we handed him the card and the flowers,
the smile on his face just disappeared.
He kept silence for quite a while,
but then he tried hard to fake a smile to thank us.
His eyes turned wet and he started covering his face.
When he stepped into the lift, we heard he took a deep breath."
On that morning, Yedda and I met him in front of the library.
He greeted us happily with a "nothing happened" facial expression.
If I were not told of that news,
I would have naively thought all things were solved.
However, the world is just not that simple.
It was really depressing and I had to admit my eyes are quite shallow.
I can't help sobbing when I saw that sorrowful face.
Maybe I am still young, I have never seen such a hopeless face before.
The scene hurt me seriously.
My memories with him just popped into my mind.
"He always carries an optimistic smile.
He always makes joke with us.
He always praises our class.
He always allows extension to our assignments.
He always gives us good marks.
He always keeps asking us questions though no one ever answer.
He always has a lot of funny gestures.
He always creates a relaxing atmosphere during the lecture.
He always talks about sex.
He always... He always..."
What can I say, I just like this tutor.
And I shall always pray for you.
Do you know,
your beloved may not always stay with you,
that's why you should cherish them all the time.
