My best Christmas present
My daughter, a lively little girl of 8 years, was running overjoyed with her huge teddy bear through the living room and looked like she was the happiest girl in the whole world. After a while, however, she got tired and she ran to her father and me and pushed herself onto the couch between us.
She looked first at her father and then at me, yawned with her mouth wide open and finally snuggled up to me. "Tell me a story!" she said to me demanding while I stroked her hair.
"Hm, well, a story ..." I replied thoughtfully until an idea occurred to me. "I know one, I'll tell you about my best Christmas present!".
"Ouch! What was it, also a big teddy like mine?" she asked, picking up her big teddy bear and me right in front of my face.
“No, you can't buy my best Christmas present.” I could tell her that because we told her from the beginning that Santa Claus only existed in stories and that he didn't really exist. She should know from the start that the gifts came from the people she knew and loved. We thought that was important so that she would appreciate the things she got and later make fond memories of her family and friends with them.
While I was still thinking about it, my daughter was already shaking me out of my thoughts and looking at me expectantly.
"Well, I got my best Christmas present at the age of 15. At that time I was in the 9th grade and the 2nd semester had just started, so the winter holidays were just over.
At that time I was already quite an outsider in my class, at the beginning of my secondary school days that wasn't the case but when I discovered mangas for myself at the end of 8th grade and finally started to draw the characters, the girls turned to my class gradually all from me. It didn't bother me much what others thought of me, I was in my own world as soon as I picked up a manga and started reading. I just thought it was a shame that nobody was interested in my drawings, after all, everyone wants a little recognition from other people, but unfortunately my parents couldn't really do anything with my hobby and nobody in my class talked to me. "" But your pictures are so beautiful! "Interrupted my daughter, whereupon I had to laugh and she replied," Yes, but now everyone starts small, in the beginning they weren't as good as they are now. In any case, I was a little bent back then that nobody was interested in my pictures and over time I wanted to go to school less and less, not because I found the lessons terrible but I realized how lonely I was when nobody talked to me. But then I got an internet connection on my PC and I immediately got the idea to look for websites that deal with the topic of Anime & Manga and lo and behold, I found a site that I liked very quickly.This site was called AnimeManga and I was overwhelmed by the number of users and quickly felt very comfortable on the site. Of course I uploaded all my drawings to the site and every day at school I just waited for school to finish so I could see if someone had written me on AnimeManga.
My first drawings weren't really noticed, but suddenly, halfway through the second half of the year, someone wrote me comments under my pictures and I was very happy about them. Of course I thanked you and we started talking, first we wrote about my pictures and finally we talked about our favorite mangas and also about how the people around us found our hobby.
So the time passed and the summer vacation came and finally the summer passed and I started the 10th grade. In the meantime I didn't care what the others thought of me and I concentrated on the lessons during my school days and at home I sat at my PC, of course after I had done my homework.
I think 2 weeks went by in the new school year when our class teacher suddenly announced a new student, I was a little curious, but for the most part I didn't really care, I finally thought that someone would still be someone who made fun of me will do.
Since nobody wanted to sit next to me, I sat alone and so it happened that the new student had to sit down next to me. We both said "hello" and then looked shyly at the blackboard again. So a few days passed in which we actually only exchanged a "Hello" and otherwise followed the lesson until one day one of my drawings slipped out of my pad and fell on the floor. Since she was falling in the direction of him, he was so nice and picked her up. But instead of giving it back to me, he held it in his hand and looked at it with interest. Then he finally said to me that he knew the drawing and immediately asked if I would put my drawings online. I must have looked at him very strangely because he put the drawing on my table half and immediately asked if I was a certain Luna on AnimeManga. Then I just looked at him strangely, at least that's what I think to this day, I couldn't look myself in the face. "I said and smiled because I remembered earlier. My daughter looked up at me and yawned, then she asked but immediately what my Christmas present was and urged me to continue telling the end of the story.
"Very well, I'll keep on telling you!" I said and cleared my throat.
"You can of course imagine that from then on it was much nicer for me to go to school, after all the boy who sat next to me was the one I had been talking to over the Internet for about half a year. We moved ours Conversations about anime and manga in the breaks between classes and met as often as we could to read manga or watch anime together.So the time passed and it came to December and finally the Christmas holidays began.
At Christmas I got a message from SonGoku, that was the username of the boy I was talking to and who had become my seat neighbor at school and with this message this boy gave me the best present for ever. "
I took a break and looked at my daughter but she had fallen asleep in the meantime and hadn't heard my story at all, but that didn't matter, then I would just tell it again the next day. My gaze wandered from her to my husband who was sitting next to our daughter and looked at me with an incredibly lovely smile, finally he said quietly to me "I love you, Luna" and I replied with "I love you too, SonGoku".
She looked first at her father and then at me, yawned with her mouth wide open and finally snuggled up to me. "Tell me a story!" she said to me demanding while I stroked her hair.
