"Nina we will be going now. We will be going home late so don't wait for us." my parents said. They are at the door with my childhood friend who also said he will be coming back.
"noo. You won't be coming back!" I tried to run towards them to stop them. But there is like an invisible wall that is stopping me to go to them.
I tried to break it. I used all my force to break it but it is not enough.
"Nina we will be taking off now. We will bring you a lot of food when we get back." they said. I am still trying to break the invisible glass
"no! Please don't leave me!let me come with you! " I said. And then everything turned white "Nina! Nina! Nina wake up!" I hear someone said. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Jianina with a worried look on her face.
I got up and just looked out the window. "I am sorry I woke you up you were having a bad dream" she explained.
I looked at her but she looked away immediately. "I am sorry about what I said earlier. I was just stress this past few days." I said with the sincere voice I have.
She finally looked at me "I should be the one to say sorry. I keep on forcing you to stuff you don't like." she said. "don't worry i will just talk to the guy." she said. She was about to leave but I hold her wrist and pulled her back down to sit again.
"no your right I might as well try it. But I can't promise that it will go well." I said.
Her face brightened up and gave me a smile. "well I am hungry so let's go to a restaurant before we head home." she said. I agreed to it and went straight to a restaurant.
After we ate. We went our sperate ways and head home. To be honest I don't like to go home. After a few minutes of walking I got to the bus station and I waited at the waiting shed. When I got there it started to rain.
I just put on my headphones and listened to some music while waiting. I was the only person waiting there. It is 5:30 pm and it is about to get dark.
"uhhh this rain always makes me feel so tired." I said to myself. I sat at the chair at the waiting shed and I feel very exhausted.
I just stared at the floor until someone talked beside me. "you know everyone deserve to be happy. They just haven't found who or what their happiness is." I looked at the person who was talking and it was a lady. A very beautiful lady. No words can define how beautiful she is.
"pardon? Were you talking to me?" I asked. "you know things happen for a reason." she said.
"if things happen for a reason then what is the reason why my parents died why all the people left me?" I asked.
She did not answer. "I thought so" I said. We stayed silent for a few minutes until she broke the silence.
"if you were given 3 wishes what would it be?" she asked. "what type of question is that? Wishes don't exist. Wishes are what people want." I said.
She just had a just tell me what it is look. "fine. My first wish is to go back to the past where in that past have a happy life." i said. She just stared and keeps on listening.
"my second wish is to my happiness and third I want to see my love once again." I said.
She just stared at me and looked away. I just looked at the night sky since it's 6pm it is very dark now. The only source of lights are from the cars and the street light.
" You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past." she said. She stood up and gave me a gift.
"open it when you get home. I hope you get what you wished for." after she said that she walked away and disappear in the darkness.
I put the gift in my bag and after a few minutes the bus arrived. It is still raining.
I reached my house in a few minutes. A house that is big but only I live in it. It is very lonely.
This mansion was fuelled of happy memories that turned into pain. I opened the lights and always hoping that I would see my family at the coach waiting for me. And my mother in the kitchen cooking dinner for me. But none.
I just went straight to my room and put my bag down and went to the bathroom to wash up and change.
After that I want to my study table to do some homework. I pulled my stuff out of the back and the gift that the lady gave me fell on the ground.
"I guess she just felt pity like everybody else." I said to myself. I picked up the gift and opened it. There was a notebook a pen and a necklace. There was also a letter.
I read the letter and it says "I hope you use it well. They say paper is much more patient that human. Wear the necklace always because it is believed that it will take your sufferings away and will make you wishes come true. I don't feel pity about you. Hope you find you happiness soon. Make sure you make the right decision in the future. Things happen for a reason. "
Well I did what the letter said. I wore the necklace and I put the letter inside the notebook and set it aside.
I did my homework for a few minutes and I felt sleepy. So I fixed my things and went to bed. A lot of thoughts are still going inside my head. Thinking what i should have done. I looked at the necklace again and hope that what the lady said come true. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
