Stranded

IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY. April’s gradation party took place in Florida – a very far-flung land from the City of San Fernando…

Mitch, Apple and I attended the celebration at April’s house.

For certain reasons our arrival to Florida, as well as our departure from the area, was delayed. However, we were never stranded.


However, Mitch told her mother that we were stranded. (Well, Mitch was asked to go home early that’s why she needed to lie.)

During our way home, JR (Apple’s “complicated boyfriend”) took us to their home in Porac. He introduced Apple to his mother and other family members. All of them were so glad to meet her.

After that, JR’s family went with us. They rode their own van, where Apple was also asked to ride in. Mitch and I were left in Apple’s white car, which she is fond of calling “Snow white”. JR drove for us.

Then, they took us to the house where JR resides more often. We went to different houses before we were able to go home…

Now, I am realizing another meaning of the word “stranded”.

Perhaps, it has another connotation, which “the Fates” have given us because they caught Mitch lying....
