Chereads / Genie's reincarnation / Chapter 5 - Happiness

Chapter 5 - Happiness

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.
