A guy met a girl in a midsummer afternoon. He was awed by her gestures, and her simple yet stunning beauty. He fell in love.
So this is how Manuel Arguilla’s Midsummer story goes. But this is not really a love story that goes like Nicholas Sparks’ books. It is an article with a couple of thousands of words that wove the descriptions of a man’s journey under a noon-day heat that led him to meet a beautiful girl. What I love most about this article is that the descriptions are so vivid, and the author also used small words for adjectives that made the background of his portrayal understandable. It also wasn’t all about the physical sketch of the country road that he was treading on, or the physical attributes of the girl that he met. It was way beyond that. There were the sound of the surroundings, and every little intricate detail of a girl that not everyone notices – he made the girl come alive. For me, the story can transport its reader to a parallel universe where the story really is happening, because the reflections seemed so real.
