Chapter 2 - Lilac

Narrator's POV..

📍Uni Grounds

“What the?” Mickey blurted 

Naya slapped Mickey’s shoulder for shouting randomly “Dude! What on earth is happening to you?” 😡

“I can smell lilac! AGAIN!” 🤯

Mickey looks really confused, she is actually allergic to pollen and because of that her nose became sensitive on flower’s scent. For the past few days she’s been smelling it -- in random places, instances etc.

“Don’t overthink dear… We are on the school campus and we have botanical gardens everywhere -- Just take a pill” Naya comforted her.

While they were walking Naya noticed that she had a jacket on her arms…

“Oh shoot! I forgot to return this to Andy 🥺” Naya said

“You were with her?” Mickey asked

“Hmm -- ahmm yep we were together, in fact I have a confession to make” Naya switched to a serious face “You see I find Andy as my husband even after knowing that she’s a girl. But, I don’t think I can handle her beauty anymore (took a deep breath) I will no longer be her wife and will just be a friend with her” Naya explained while clinging to Mickey’s arms…

While walking on to the main gate a good looking girl called Mickey and asked if she could go with her and have a talk. Mickey said yes without any hesitation not knowing that this could be a confession.

“Hey! It could be the reason why you smell Lilac” 😍 🥰

“What do you mean?” While checking her phone.

Naya explained the concept before Mickey went out with the girl.

📍Cafe

The good looking lady finally introduced herself.

“Hi! You may not know me but, I am Mizy from the department of arts -- 2nd yr and I’d been liking you since we were in secondary school. Please go out with me” Mizy looked down while clenching her lips waiting for Andy to answer.

Mickey looked around and found something that made her shiver to the core…

It was Andy, she got her hair shorter and still the same girl. But, for Mickey’s eyes she became more attractive…

Suddenly there’s a scent of Lilac again… Mickey recalled what Naya said…

They said Lilac is the scent of “Blossoming of Love” or “Love at First Sight”...

Mickey figured one thing -- she is smelling the scent of Lilac everytime Andy is close or everytime her heart is pounding because of Andy’s present.

“Mizy, I find you really attractive -- in fact you are really pretty. However, I don;t think I can give you the same thing or like you back the way you have it for me” Mickey looked her straight in the eyes and said those words...

That night Mickey visited the chapel and talked to his dad who passed away a few years back. 

Pops!

Are you there? 🥺 😢 I think I am fucked up 😅 😂

I know before you passed away I was able to confess and told you

What I feel I am -- Who I am…

You embraced me and welcomed me with all your heart.

I said I liked girls and told you I may not like someone who

Looks like a guy…

But -- Pops… There’s this girl. She is like me --

A lesbian and with androgynous face…

God Pops 🤯 😱 she’s a lesbian like me… Good looking,

Smart, Talented -- but, Pops!!! She is actually pretty in my eyes 🥺

It is difficult -- My heart aches…

Please hug me and Mom…

Mickey drove home and tried to study that night… 

She tried to hide it but her mom just can really sense it.

“I brought you a hot milk my Minnie” Her mom calls her Minnie just like the “Mini Me” version of her. 

“Mom thank you” 😌

“If you have something to share I am just here” 😇

“Mom -- how to overcome challenges?” 😞 😔

“First accept -- next is to face them. (She hugged me) Question is, is it really a challenge or just reality?” 😊 

“What do you mean?” 🤯😞 

“Sometimes if there’s a strange reality that we encounter or a new emotion we feel we call it a challenge. But, it could just be a reality that you need to embrace” 🥰

Mickey was caught off guard. Her mom hit the nail on the head as they say…

Prolly it was not really a challenge, in fact there’s nothing wrong for Mickey to feel such emotion. It is just the society that she worries about. Most of all will she be accepted by Andy?
