Under The Night Sky
I could feel the cold breeze touching me. It was just another night I tried spending like my old long lost love. I remember her being a night lover who used to make quotes about the stars. She was beautiful but there was a fear in her eyes, that fear befell her.
In a cold falls night, I sat at the one end of a bench of a park in solitude, just the way she liked. There was no light near the bench, just a perfect situation for looking at the stars. Though I can hear the children giggling there, I remained unnoticed by anyone. I sat there quietly in the corner of the park surrounded by small shrubs. Beside me sat a small notebook and a pen, staring at me. The wind was still there. I smiled as a familiar smell hit my nose. It smelled like her. I looked around to it assuming she would be here. It was just the lavenders from around the corner. How foolish am I? I was looking for someone who will never come to me again.
"Shinyu!" I heard a voice calling me. It was some guy. He was short but cute and he always had a laptop with him. Well, I should say, that's how Kenny is. We became friends somehow because of our common interest in Beyblade. He came to me and sat at the other end of the bench.
"Hey!"
He smiled at me and waited for an answer. I waved my hand. He was not satisfied with my answer but it was something he cannot control as he already knew I cannot speak.
"Shinyu," he looked at me, "Why don't you learn sign language?"
I picked up the pen and the notebook and wrote - 'I know sign language but no one understands it so I never use it.'
"Valid point. I can't understand it anyway," he smiled. It was nice having a friend but it was not how I spend time. I could not ask him to leave.
He stood up and said, "I gotta go."
It felt like he actually saw through me and knew what I wanted. I felt terrible for letting him go. I looked at the sky. Oh, what a sight it was! I could watch it forever. The stars shone so bright, just like her eyes. Then I noticed the pole star, shining the brightest in the sky. Oh dear, I remember how much she loved the pole star!
Her memories crossed my mind again, her fond look at me whenever she saw me. It was still a nightmare how it all befell. I wish I could just wake up one morning and found she was still there and nothing had happened to her. Oh my dear, how can I have you back? Sometimes, the reality can be harsh.
I don't know how the maiden befell. Dear Shaira, your death is the worst thing happened to me.
It was just another love story that could not survive till the end. I always wanted to write about Shinyu's feelings for Shaira which was left neglecting throughout the story, which I didn't complete yet so, funnily enough, here is a small spoiler and a cliffhanger. Share your thoughts about it.
