Enchanted

PART 2?

"The Moon wears a shine when you wear a smile."

Peter closed the book he's reading while I just finished the portrait that I made. I look at it once again and admire the beauty of it. Not the portrait itself but the person I drew.

10 months since the last time I saw him, the last time I saw his smile that I always wanted to see. In that day I just didn't fell in love with the story of the sun and the moon but also to the person who told me the story.

"You are down bad, Ohmmy!"

I look at Peter who's also looking at the portrait. I didn't respond to it because I know he's right. This is bad.

"Do you think I can still see him?"

I asked even though I know the answer to my question.

"He's far from us Ohm. We don't know where he go, even Sir News didn't know his location now. How can we search a person who we barely even know?"

I know that. I'm pretty aware of that but can I at least try?

"I better go now Ohm, I still need to finish my painting for the upcoming exhibition. Can't believe it's our turn now! I'll see you tomorrow and please stop staring at it."

I nod at him and watch him exit the door. I look again to the portrait and whisper a wish.

"Let me see you again, my moon."

"Why you look so tense?" Peter ask me

"You're not?! Peter we're going to meet a lot of people!!"

"Aren't we meet a lot of people everyday?" He ask me back. I roll my eyes at him knowing that our conversation has no where to go.

"Do you have any idea who will come today?"

I just want to be prepared and ready if they ask me some questions about my work especially that portrait.

"Nah. I don't have any idea but I guess just like before? All the current students of Sir News or his investors?"

I nod eagerly and trying to concentrate to my lines if ever Sir News call me or someone will ask me.

"Hi, is this your work?"

I saw a teenage girl looking at the portrait.

"Hello, yes it's my work. It's called Lucent"

"Lucent..."

"Yes. Softly bright or radiant. Just like his smile..."

Just like the smile he gave me when we met here. The comfort with that smile that shine through my dark days.

"He must be so happy when you show it to him."

I hope he can see his smile when he saw this. I can't erase his face in my mind and it's been 10 months since I saw him but his image is still clear in my head.

"I hope so... he haven't seen this."

"Oh.. In that case, you should ask him. I think it got his attention already."

I look at the girl beside me but she's looking at the back of me. I turn around and his doe eyes are the first thing that caught me. It's him. He's here!

"Fluke...."

The way he walk is like a slow motion and I can't stop admiring him. He look so...

"beautiful."

I didn't realize I said it out loud until I saw him smile and heard a little chuckle.

"Hello Ohm. Nice to see you again."

I'm not really proud of this story since this is the first story I wrote and I felt like I didn't execute everything I wanted to write BUT I'm still thankful for those who read this and even commenting that it's beautiful and they love it. Thank you so much. 🥺
