All those memories that I had forgotten a long time ago.
Are they my parents? My siblings? Am I once human?
Darren started to reminisce all his life when he was alive, all the happiness in a simple things.
I began to smile looking at the memories that are now coming back to me.
Then tears started to stream from the corners of my eyes.
"Why did I forgot about them?"
All mixture of emotions started raining down within my heart.
It's no use, I already am trapped inside this lamp.
Five stages of grief overwhelmed me. No matter how I try, it seemed like I was bound to be inside the lamp.
"How I wish I could have my family with me here."
Somehow my wishes only apply when used to other people I just met using the lamp.
"Can I really be free?"
***
Hopelessness
Yes, this is what I felt. I knew nothing will happen even if I wish to be with my parents again.
Somehow, I felt guilty.
What would've happened if I never left my hometown to pursue my selfish dreams.
Nothing is more important that being in someone's warmth, the feeling of having a home that you could go back to.
Parents presence, that shielded you from anyone.
"I missed those days."
Do I really deserve this? It's not like being a genie was the worse punishment but am I worthy enough to end up like this?
Who created this lamp? Why did he used my soul as a medium to grant wishes for others?
"At least I have a purpose."
Started this time, he had granted several wishes from his master's after rubbing the lamp.
"Your wish is my command."
Somehow, I finally get used to it. Giving hope with other people. Seeing them achieve something remarkable that I couldn't achieve back in my days.
It made me happy and contented, happiness.
Happiness was the emotioned I longed to have when I departure to the city.
I could now smile in such small things. Bring hope to others. It's my becoming constant job.
I don't care about myself anymore. I just wanted to see how I could put a smile on those who happen to saw my lamp.
The numbers of people who happened to have their wish granded was nearly billion, few more wishes and then I could finally achieve some milestone.
For me this happiness is enough.
