Imprisoned kiss

Imprisoned kiss

They met without any previous appointment; Two cars adjacent to one another. They were sitting in the back seats: A woman reading a file and a girl in the other car playing with her doll. Their eyes met once. It was a rainy day. Road is slippy and cars like turtles.

The woman smiled to the little girl, moving her nose and making funny faces; a monster, a dead body its tongue out and crazy woman. The little girl was amazed and finally she laughed at her comic faces. She tried to send her a kiss but cars separated with few meters.

For seconds the woman thought of herself ten years ago, when she was engaged and broke up then engaged then broke up. Now is the first time to face herself with the truth. She was afraid of failing as a mother. She pretended it is self asserting by hard work. But only her self confidence was the only reason.

She kissed her palm and wanted to throw it for the baby girl. All of sudden the cars were running fast. She couldn’t see the little girl whom she wished to her daughter. After years of hard working, travelling and being a famous business woman, she discovered she lost her opportunity to be a mother; All because her lack of self confidence.

In middle of all this, a voice of little kid awoke her up. It was her, the same girl laughing to see her again. She opened her hand and said “a kiss for you imprisoned in my hand all the way long baby”. Then cars parted each in a way.
