Fallen Leaf. Part 1.

Ferona: The beginning. 
Location : Indonesian Independence Day Potluck in the Park. 

My plate was almost full, but I had my eye on a piece of plump, curry beef in a pan in the middle of the potluck table. I reached for the serving spoon, as he was reaching for the same spoon. Our hands collided. 
     “Sorry….,” I said. 
     “Sorry….,” he said.
     Our eyes met. I found  a pair of eyes belonging to a cowboy out of his time; lost and very much alone. It caused my heart to  beat like a tight guitar  string plucked by a wannabe musician ; out of tune and almost snapped into two. 
    “You first…,”he said. His smile was as uneven as my heart beat. 
     Huh…uuhh…I couldn't think. The next moment a piece of plump curry beef was placed on my plate. 
     “ Is that okay?” he asked.
     I nodded. He smiled his uneven smile. My heart and mind became muddled to no end.
