Girl On The Cliff

Lisa, 29 years old, a woman who enjoys riding and feels the air hitting her body as she rides her bike. Her bike is the most reliable companion she could ever ask for. She is no longer on the lookout for someone to complete her life since her heart was broken 2 years ago.

She closed her heart and remained single, although there were people who were interested in her. Her actions make her friends think she has not yet moved on from her past love and is punishing herself for the broken relationship. But she knew herself better, she did moved on and no longer craved for someone to love her.

She found her happiness when she put herself first rather than pleasing others. Those tough time teach her how to love herself. She is glad her heart was broken, otherwise she would not have learned this beautiful lesson which makes her, her. She finally lived her life the way she wanted, and she won't let anyone destroy her again.

That evening, she rode her bike after finishing her work. And since her work finished earlier than expected, she decided to take a short road trip with her bike. She has no destination, she let the bike take her anywhere until her heart said stop. That is where her destination would be.

After a long ride, Lisa found herself on the path leading up the mountain. It evoked feelings of nostalgia since she has not come to the mountain for years. Her parents used to take her up the mountain when she was a kid, and she would whine to them about how weary she was, but they would simply smile back.

Her parents would tell her to keep going. She used to find it annoying, but when she got older and confronted with situations that made her want to give up, she finally understood the message. She has become a successful person as a result of them. Sadly, they could not see it.

She parks her bike and turns off the engine before taking off her helmet and taking a deep breath, smelling the fresh air of the mountain that she has not smelled for years. A smile formed on her face as she recalled the old times. There are only two cars parked. Because it is not the weekend or holiday season, there are not many people climbing the mountain.

"Let's see if I'm still fit or not," said Lisa after deciding to climb the mountain.

She hopped off of her bike and started walking to the entrance. Since she did not wear the proper gear to climb, she decided to climb for just a moment and go home.

After a few hours of climbing, Lisa reaches the top of the mountain. Her plan is to have a short climb change into a long climb. The view and the memory made her keep on climbing, although she stopped a few times to drink the water from the river.

"Ha... I made it!" exclaimed Lisa as she reached the mountain top. She flopped down on the grass and lay down to rest.Her breath is short.

"I must be crazy to climb until the mount top. I haven't exercised for years to do this. My body will be in huge pain tomorrow for sure. I regret my- decision."

Her eyes landed on a girl who was alone. A single climber like her. "Wow, she's pretty. Ok, I take it back. This is the best decision I've made this evening," added Lisa.

The beauty of the girl makes her sit up and keep on watching the girl. It has been so long since her attention has not been captured by someone. Her eyes are fixed on the girl and widen when she notices the girl is walking straight to the cliff.

"Wa- wait! Don't kill yourself!" shouted Lisa and dashed to save the girl. "Hey, beauty! Don't waste the beauty you get! It's not worth ending your life when you're that pretty!" shouted Lisa as she was getting near the girl.

The girl stopped and turned to look at Lisa, who seemed to be running towards her.

"Are you talking to me?" asked the girl.
Her expression is full of wonder, as if she does not believe someone is talking to her. Her eyes were glued on Lisa, who had come to a stop in front of her.
