I was in
hurry that morning so I have to run as fast as I can while holding my delicious
hot dog I always buy for breakfast when I’m in a rush. The problem is I
always in hurry every morning, that’s why the seller already know me and pack
the hot dog with much mustard and mayo on it. He knew I always in hurry every
day, even he knew my name by seeing my name tag on my vest. Besides, his booth are
on-the-go hot dog booth that I like so much and he makes it easy to eat it, the
hot dog has a different kind of taste. I can taste the fried well garlic, he
made the garlic caramelized and he pour it in the sauce on the frying pan. He
doesn’t forget to toast the bun before he toast the sausage. It’s not the
ordinary sausage but it has melted cheese in it plus he add mozzarella cheese
in front of me when I’m about to take my precious hot dog, I just can’t skip my
day without seeing mozzarella cheese melted onto my hot dog then come to my
mouth. I can’t go without eating it, it just too delicious to be skipped every
morning.
As
time flies by the hotdog seller and I become friend. Carl is so much older than
me, as old as my dad perhaps. Sometimes in my free time I come to visit him and
of course buy his delicious hot dog. And sometimes I helped him to toast the
bread or make note the order. He more like father figure to me after I lost my
dad four years ago. I learned a lot from him, more than just how to make
delicious hot dog he sells but life too. How life not goes as we want it to, he
taught me sometimes we have to let something go for our good. He told me it’s
okay to cry our hearts out to make a room in our hearts. Thanks to him, now I
learned how good to let your past behind but it is okay if we want to look back
to learn from it.
He’s not
only my favorite hot dog’s maker but now he is my love – match – maker too! I
met a stranger in his booth on the way to my work place. I bumped into him and
stained his shirt with mustard. Despite he’ll get angry with that, he asked me
where I bought the hot dog instead. I brought him to Carl. I introduced Jaden
to Carl, like introduce him to my father so we’ll have his blessing but no.
Jaden just a hungry consumer who wants to eat something delicious, ended up he
become regular consumer like me. We always met each other, having a chit –
chat, he walks with me to my office, we had dates, and then we had a kiss! He
used to be just stranger but now he’ll be my husband in a few weeks, how fast
the night changes, babe.
I’d
like to say thank you to Carl for giving me lessons of life and forget my past.
Not forget to mention his hot dog too, to bring Jaden to my life. To picked up
my pieces of broken heart, to complete the puzzle in my heart. We both agree to
invite Carl and his hot dog to our wedding day. Carl will sit in my family area
and the hot dog can sees us from the buffet.
