When the Orion Glows

CHAPTER 4.1: Dimming Hope

✨LYNDON'S POV✨

Ever since my sister passed away, I felt like living alone would be pointless.
However, right after I saw the glowing Angel before my eyes. I sort of believed that what I saw back there wasn't a dream, and greedy to see it once again by living with my new life.

But somehow, living my life right now doesn't seem to be a good choice either, I just find myself not interested in anyone or anything anymore. I started feeling less and lesser human who was boring in this world like a robot would do.

I barricaded myself to the world out there.
I trapped myself not to get involved with others anymore. The more I greed to see that miracle happen, the more I realize how stupid I am.

Because wearing myself out right now through this hell is more realistic, what's more believing something I cannot even prove if it exists in the first place.

I started doubting myself if there's anything out there that I can still do for who I am.

Until recently, I randomly met a strange lady who saved me from a molester. After meeting in such an odd feeling, I told myself not to get involved with her anymore. Unfortunately, we crossed our path once again at the restaurant right after.
What's more, is that I found her strange at first but she's just like a klutz little kid who needs a lot of attention. She acts like a newborn in this world and admires everything she sees.

Somehow, Stella remind me of someone I knew that I admired as well. At the bottom of my heart, I just know that she's watching over me from distance. I would be glad to just hear her voice in my dreams. (His Sister)

Lyndon exhaled softly.

"Do you like it?" Stella anticipatingly asked, "Didn't you like stars? So I figured out this is the best place for stargazing while eating barbeque with everyone."

"Yes." Lyndon relievedly smiled, "Thank you, Stella."

Everyone's oddly surprised after seeing Lyndon smiling for the first time.

"This is the first time you call me by my first name, Mr. Lee." Stella replied.

"I really don't mind calling you Ms. White forever." He mockingly replied.

"No-No! Stella is good." Stella immediately replied.

For some reason, Stella felt a little bit closer to Lyndon, now that he call her by her name as well as everyone who saw him smiled felt the same thing.

Lyndon however, whose rather oblivious that he's gradually changing towards others and filling bit by bit the hole inside him once again with kindness and warmth.

Thenceforth, Stella started inviting Lyndon as many as she could. She invites him in karaoke, shopping, and traveling to small provinces. Even so, Lyndon just apathetically accepts everything that Stella asked for him.

And after at the end of the month, Lyndon abruptly declined Stella's invitation. He suddenly replied in cold reaction every time Stella tried to speak to him.
And for an instant, Lyndon distanced himself once again to Stella, to the staffs, and to the world.

Without saying a word nor reason of his sudden rejection towards the others.
