数ヶ月前、まだトロントが凍りついていた頃、僕は偶然昔の同僚に出会った。
２人とも仕事帰りで、Yonge から Bay に行く地下道だった。
美容師になるべく学校へ行ったとは聞いていたが、滞在ビザの関係もありまだトロントに住んでいるのかどうか連絡もなく知らなかった。
「ヘアカットの練習用のモデルを探してるんです」と元同僚は言った。
数ヶ月前はバリカンで自前坊主をしていたので、「この髪やったら切るとこないやろ」と照れながら帽子を取った。
今日は練習用で切ってもらい始めて３回目の散髪だった。上達していってるのがすごくわかった。
２時間座りっぱなしは少しきつかったけれど、きっと良い美容師さんになるに違いないことはわかる。
家を出るときぱらついてきた雨は、２時間後土砂降りだった。頭は軽く、トロントの夏の雨が肌寒かった。
A few months ago, when Toronto was still in the freezing weather, I bumped into my old colleague coincidentally. Both of us were on our way home from work and it was at the underground path from Yonge to Bay.
After she quit from the previous work, I heard that she went to school to be a hair stylist in Toronto. I had not heard anything about her since then, so I didn't think that she still lived in Toronto because of her visa status.
"I am looking for a model to practice haircut on," said she.
I was buzzing my hair by myself back then. "I don't think you can cut any of my hair now." I took off my hat and showed my head to her hesitatingly.
Today has been the third time since I became her practice model. I could see her improvement clearly. It was a little hard to sit still for 2 hours, but I know that she can be a great hair stylist in near future.
Light rain has started when I left home, but it was turned into heavy rain after 2 hours. I felt my head is lighter because of the haircut and it was a little cold for my head with Toronto's summer rain.
