Reminder: This Story will mostly be told fom Handy Smurf his perspective
It was a quite beautiful day... Papa had send Hefty and i too the forest. Y'know, to collect food like different kinds of berries, nuts,...
The usual stuff to collect... Nothing special...
Although, while collecting some blueberries, I noticed that Hefty was lost in thoughts. Clearly struggling to decide something...
"Hefty?" I asked.
"Y-yeah? What is it pal?" Hefty answered. A bit shooked. I had to laugh a bit by his reaction.
"Considering the fact that i smurfed you a tiny bit, you clearly where deeply lost in thoughts." I smurfed back.
"Hmm, yeah..."
"What's bothering you pal?"
"I was thinking-" he started
"Yeah, I could see that. " i interrupted playfully.
"Oh, shut it you... " he playfully got back. "As i was smurfing... I was thinking of... To maybe travel for a bit... Distance myself from the village a bit..."
"Wha... Distance yourself from the village?"
I got the travel part for a little bit... But distancing?
"Why... Wh-what makes you want to do that?" I asked.
"I just... i...i don't feel like i know myself good enough... Like I still haven't figured out something about myself... Although i-i don't know what to be exact...Or it also could just be that I need some time away from the village to have some time for myself... To not stress about work I have to do and stuff... Like what you did, y'know." He explained.
Poor Hefty... He wasn't even sure what his reason was.
"Whatever the reason may be, I can understand you a lot better now pal. Go for it if you feel like you need it! " I said, trying to encourage him.
He still looked like he was hesitating.
"Is something else bothering you still?" I asked, worrying a bit...
"I wonder if i should go now, today... Or if I first should first go back to the village to tell them and then go... "
What kind of question is that?!
" Wh- Hefty! If that's what you're worried about, that's kind off stupid... I mean, look.. Suddenly disappearing out of nowhere, today even, and telling the rest... Which one is the obvious. Hm?!"
I was kind off frustrated that he said that. Until...
"I asked because I don't want them to worry about why I want to travel for a bit. They'll only let me stay longer to know what my answer would be. And they even may ask why i feel like I don't know me enough... "
There was silence for a few seconds...
"I already left a letter inside my home to explain it for a bit. So that they don't really have to worry about my 'sudden disappearance'. So that I won't really be bothered by the questions they might ask if i was in the village a bit longer"
He had a good point.
"Oh.I... Understand now." I felt a bit ashamed. "I'm sorry."
"No, No! Hey, pal, don't be sorry! It's not your fault for not understanding. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. Oh, and i already packed my stuff and put it near a smurfberry field so,... "
"You really where kind off preparing on dissapearing out of nowhere, wheren't you" I smirked a bit.
Hefty smiled akwardly.
We both started to laugh.
Little did i know that this may be the last time i would really feel joy in my life...
