The Girl And The Forest

CHAPTER - 7

Amelia Eloise Fleura's POV :

I sighed as I cover Charlie with a blanket. I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it is still 6:30 in the afternoon. It is still quite early for Charlie to go to sleep but I guess he got tired from all the play that he had gone through all day.

I looked around his room and smiled. Even though our house is not that big, my parents had managed to provide the three of us our own rooms.

I have my room colored in dirty white with some traces of gold color. I have my bed on the center, a study table on the side with a window! I planted flowering plants outside especially the ones with purple flowers. So everytime I write or study something, I never worry-beacuse by opening the window and having the sight of those beautiful flowering plants, I felt like my heart is exploding by the desire of writing everything that I can think of!

I looked at Charlie's sleeping face once again before standing up.

I closed the door of his room and went outside to sit in the wooden chair to witness the colorful sunset.

The sun had already vanished, the sky started to turn dark blue but some colors like red, orange, pink, and purple can still be observed.

I stood up and quickly went to my room to get my notebook.

I took my notebook and sat down to the wooden chair again-looking in the changing colors of the sky again.

Last night I wrote something on this notebook. I don't know what to call this notebook as this contains all the feeling and thoughts that I felt like needs to be treasured for myself when I die.

I opened my notebook and saw some dried flowers, notes, and of course the rants and essays of not only of the feelings that I feel and felt but also of the things that I felt like a treasure that is not being acknowledged so much-or shall I say the things that had been noticed everytime but is so low-key on saying their vital messages.

Such as sunset!

I flipped through pages and saw my written essay about sunset.

I looked at the sky once again that is now getting darker upon reading my essay.

SUNSET

An indication of the ending of the day, known as the sunset. Pink to yellow to orange to red, the green light of the darkness to breathe. Just like in a human life, sun as the human and sun as the life. Too soon to die, yet too old to live.

Too soon to die, because as a life of a human being, we have dreams and ambitions that needs time to be reached. Too soon to die, because we need time, a lot of time for those things which we want to reach out but too far, like the sun. Going to the sun can kill you, too soon to die 'cause you are currently an infinity steps away from it.

Too old to live, "time is gold" was said, means, every millisecond is important. You have been living your 12-hour life,  12 hours with a billion of milliseconds of not being able to deduct a single step from your infinity steps away from your destination which is the sun. If you will compare yourself to the sun, you are way far from it. Why? Because in 12 hours, the sun's journey already started as the sun rises, after, the sun sets as a sign of it dying after reaching its high at noon, as it's dream. And here is you, spending time doing nothing for your dreams- 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and so on. Yet, no single step was made.

After the sun set, darkness arise. The only difference was that, the sun can reach its dream in a short period of time then being engulfed by the darkness later, while you, you were engulfed by the darkness first but here you are, being happy, because finally, you have reached your dreams. You did not only do your best just to achieve your dreams, but you also did your best on standing up from darkness.
