"What's up with all this boxes here? You sure don't have a stall right?" Jane was surprised as I moved the dusted boxes out in the open.
"Well, something I'm obliged to do?" I shrugged my shoulders with a smile and continued to move the boxes.
Soon, Jane's face turned blue and so was my heart, and we both were well aware of why we felt so.
" 'I messed up' was the last thing I heard from him" Jane looked away, trying to hold back her tears as she spoke. Her voice was shaking.
Placing the box on the floor, I took her in my arms and we sat there comforting each other.
"I'm sorry I can't help you with this... I'm sorry.. I just can't do this" Jane wept; meaning each word as she repeated it over and over again.
The most awaited school festival is here. The sky's clear and blue as the deep ocean and the sun above just like a pearl shining brightly.
Yet, I wonder why my heart feels so cold.
"Hey that's something amazing here."
"Woah, now this is what can be called an art......"
Buzzz...
Buz.zzzz...
zzzz~~~~~
zzzzz~~zzzzzz~~
People are gathering around your stall as I put into display all the works that was enclosed for so long.
They are appreciating your work and they'll surely remember this work of yours.
I hope you're you happy.
"Hey Sebastian! Could you come up here for a minute!" I cried out.
Sebastian came running from his stall. "Yes. What's the matter?"
"Is this all that was moved out of the club? Even if not the entire collection, I'm pretty sure there was some more. I'm sure about it." I informed as I kept searching among the pile of checked boxes.
We started looking for it together, but failed to take hold of anything.
"I'm afraid, there isn't any" Sebastian shrugged his shoulders as his eyes scanned the boxes we just checked. "Why don't we call it a day with these collections itself? I'm sure he's happy and you've done your best. Cheer up alright?" Patting my head to make me feel better, he walked away.
If Sebastian doesn't remember, I guess that's all that's there.
Today, the school campus was brimming with happiness and vibrant colours. The crowd grew more busy as hours passed by and so were the students busy alike in taking care of their stall and their services.
The colourful lights glittered under the night sky. The campus looked so beautiful tonight. Everyone around was so happy and smiling. Each person looked free of their worries and were enjoying to their fullest.
Knowing the kind of person you are, I wonder if you could have made this place a more happier? or at the least make my heart feel a bit different?
Could it have been different if you were here?
