Another little drabble from my blog. I own nothing.
Memory
That was the thing about growing up, wasn't it? As you stepped through your life and made new discoveries, met new people, you began to loose sight of your past. Though, it was true that one did remember the past and that the past did define who a person was, it was still just the past. And as one stepped further and further away from a moment in time, it began to fade.
Voices weren't so clear anymore. Colors were faded. Feelings had grown muted. All that remained were scars on the heart and body. But those too would fade in time.
As a grown up Anzu stood staring wonderingly out a window in her family's home, she thought back to the past. It almost seemed as if time had sped up after that fateful day nearly almost ten years ago. She was twenty eight now. She had a husband and a darling toddler boy named Atem.
She had never achieved her dreams of dancing in New York. She had settled for attending a dancing school in Tokyo and then opening her own studio in which to teach other aspiring young girls. And now, standing in her living room as her son Atem played before the T.V., she wondered why her life had changed so much. At the ripe age of eighteen she had thought that once her life had returned to normal, she could do anything. It seemed destiny had a different path for her to take.
If only destiny could have been much clearer back then.
She loved her husband Yuugi, she truly did. She loved her son. She would have done anything for them. But something she wished she could have…was a better memory of that time.
The Pharaoh's memory had begun fading from her as she went on with life. Struggling in college, starting a business, starting a family…It was no wonder she was starting to find grey hairs each morning.
She missed him. Every time she would see where Atem would be mistaken for Yuugi in a magazine or poster picture, her heart would ache. Surely his eyes were more vibrant than that? His smirk…more confident? Maybe she had imagined it all as a teenager.
But no. Her heart ache told her that that wasn't the case. He simply could not be pictured completely.
Not even in a memory
End. Thanks for reading.
