One bright Saturday morning, a young woman about the age of twenty-five
walked the school grounds. Everyone was too busy with their own things to
notice her. She wondered around the school with a knowledge of the school
grounds as though she had been here before. Soon she came to a stone
building. As she looked at it, she remembered the time when she a school
girl herself. She had always played here with her friends. They had often
hung out together here after school.
After awhile, she moved away from the building and walked across to the football field which was a five minute walk away from where she was.She remembered coming to this same field every Friday to watch her brother play football. Then,looking up, she saw the basketball court.
Just the sight of it made her eyes swell. Tears covered her eyes. There were students playing there now but it made her remember the times when she used to play there with her best friends.
All those times.........
All those days...... now just memories........
Life had been so perfect then. She remembered the first time she shot her first three-pointer with the help of her best friend, Rokawa and also the love of her life. Then she remembered the last night they had spent together. It was the night of their graduation. They had come to the court.
She could still remember it clearly. That cold, September night, under the millions of stars in the heaven, the most precious moment of her life, he had told her he loved her and then without waiting for her to respond, he had pulled her close,wrapped his hands around her and kissed her. His kiss made her melt inside, she felt as though her legs could not support her body. Just being in his arms kept her warm that cold night. She knew then and there that she had found the person who she'd spend her life with.
But that's what she thought................
They had gone out together in college and had managed to graduate with honours but............the same night he had proposed to her... he disappeared. Where he went to was left a mystery.
He left me..........
He left me alone......... Tears streamed down her face as she recalled the painful memory. It still hurt so bad. Even now.....
"Hey... why you crying?" a voice called out from behind her. She turned around. The sight of the figure stopped her from crying. The figure looked at her and she looked at the figure. A million thoughts running through her mind.
"It can't be.. Is it.... Is it??..NO.....no......" she said to herself. Then she looked at the figure again who said," Is it you? Is it really you?"
"Rokawa..."
