ENGLISH/ESPAÑOL
It had been 25 years since he last saw her, but that warm July morning in Mong Kok, Mr. Chan, a handsome man who liked to show off his body, saw the woman of his dreams, the girl who had come to his mind over and over again for 25 years. Sitting on a bench reading a current affairs magazine was the one-time Miss Kwok.
Although years had passed, Chan knew from the very first moment that it was Kwok and the desire to have a conversation with her and his nerves took over his body.
- I will approach her and ask for a light, pretending not to have recognized her. thought the strategist.
- Maybe I'll go straight to her without pretending, I've always been a very bold person! -. He harangued himself.
Chan was visibly nervous, as gossiped those who saw him in the park.
- Have you seen Chan? ,- Mr. To asked his wife.
- Yes, he is visibly nervous. Mrs To replied to her husband.
Chan knew that the excuse of asking her for a light was not going to work, it was a bad and old excuse in the whole world and had rarely worked for anyone, he wanted to go straight to talk to her although he had doubts, maybe he bothered her, maybe Miss Kwok did not remember him, maybe it was not the right moment, maybe she was married...maybe....
-I know what I'm going to do! He said to himself, the very daring one. - I'm going to sit next to her and wait for her to stop reading and recognize me.
Moral of the story: Stop thinking too much about things and do what you have to do.
Be who you are
Habían pasado 25 años desde la última vez que la vio pero esa cálida mañana de Julio en Mong Kok, Mr Chan, un hombre apuesto al que le gustaba lucir cuerpo vio a la mujer de sus sueños, aquella muchacha que desde hacía 25 años le venía a la mente una y otra vez. En un banco sentada leyendo una revista de actualidad estaba la que un día era Miss Kwok.
Aunque habían pasado los años, desde el primer instante Chan supo que se trataba de Kwok y las ganas de entablar conversación con ella y los nervios se apoderaron de su cuerpo.
- Me acercaré a ella y le pediré fuego fingiendo no haberla reconocido-. Pensó el estratega
- Quizá voy directo sin fingir, yo siempre he sido muy lanzado! -. Se arengaba a sí mismo
Chan estaba visiblemente nervioso, así lo chismorreaban los que en parque le veían.
- Has visto a Chan?- Le preguntó Mr To a su mujer
- Sí, está visiblemente nervioso -. Le contestó Mrs To a su marido
Chan sabía que la excusa de pedirle fuego no le iba a funcionar, era una excusa mala y antigua en todo el mundo y que rara vez a nadie le había funcionado, quería optar por ir directo a hablar con ella aunque le entraron las dudas, quizá molestase, quizá Miss Kwok no se acordase de él, quizá no era el momento, quizá estaba casada...quizá...
-Ya sé lo que voy a hacer!-. Se dijo a sí mismo el muy atrevido. - Voy a sentarme a su lado y esperar a que ella deje de leer y me reconozca-
Moraleja: Deja de dar tantas vueltas a las cosas y haz lo que tengas que hacer
Sé quien eres
