I sat alone among the bunch of people along the steep side on the edge of the lake. It was deadly hot and if only I was smarter, I would bring an umbrella.
I tried to enjoy watching the competitions. I was amazed by the team works of the participants. I couldn't take my eyes off of their custom made jerseys, especially the ones without much of a clichéd design. It's brilliant.
I was aware of the many eyes behind me. I was nearly surrendered by the thought of lonely but I resisted. Being alone sometimes could shatter the level of my confidence, I couldn't help.
As I was struggling to keep myself stay, moment by moment peoples kept on filling up the spaces near me. I felt safe. They tried to keep their distance away from me, and it wasn't a big deal as I understand the fact that we're just strangers.
Time passed by just quick. Halfway through the session, I've already felt comfortable with lone. It was fine, at least. And that's when someone was dare enough to squeeze herself next to me filling up the gap between us. She's got an umbrella and she's just too cool that she's let me hide under the shade of it. We talked for quite sometimes and even sang to some of the upbeat songs played.
It's not that we expected it to be like this.
The beauty of meeting strangers and making friends.
Although we probably would never meet each other again, except by coincidence. At least, I remembered to ask her name before our undesired farewell that we forgot to exchange goodbye.
