Metaphor of life
Part two : Featuing, Dearka and Miriallia
------------------------------------
The young brunette was in her kitchen in her apartment in ORB that she and her husband, Dearka had recently bought after managing to persuade him to stay in ORB instead of the PLANTS. She was mindlessly mixing the cookie batter, obviously concentrating on something. Her husband entered to house, surprised that she didn't answer to his knocks on the door. He entered the kitchen and gently put his arms around her waist, making her jump.
"You're back."
"You don't seem happy that I'm back!" He teased, slightly pouting.
"Of course I'm happy! Its just that.. I was rather preoccupied over something just now…" She replied.
"Do enlighten me!"
She gently elbowed him in the ribs before her face once again turned serious.
"Life… Its so fragile, you may be living today, but who knows whether you'll be alive the next? Its so unpredictable and fragile as if the slightest touch my just break it apart. That's way, after the war, I became a photographer. I wanted to capture precious memories of people with their loved ones, because who knows when they'll die? Everything will eventually come to an end, but photographs, they bring back memories, both happy and sad and proves that that person lived and was happy."
The both of them stood silent for a minute, Dearka had never one heard Miriallia talk about the war or what Life was to her, this talk made him cherish her even more. Miriallia broke the silence, "So… what is life? What is this thing that can may one extremely happy but at the same time can drive one into depression?"
Dearka squeezed her hand before turning back into his playful self, fingering with the cookie batter.
"Life is a cookie! It all starts with the basics, like flour and all, slowly adding other ingredients into your life. After preparation, we put it all into good use in the oven. Give yourself time and 'pop' comes out a delicious cookie, evidence of your hard work. Not to mention how finger-licking, deliciously yummilious it is! Extra effort and ingredients like chocolate chips with enhance the result! Chocolate Chip Cookies are simple to die for!"
Miriallia laughed, poking him in the ribs teasingly.
"When will you ever grow up, Dearka!"
"Hmmm, Maybe tomorrow… If I feel like it!"

"If life is a cookie, friends are the chocolate chips"
