I was made from wood and who have thought that I can come to life. I was dressed for people to see the beauty of clothes and the first models before those in the magazines.
At night, I became alive. Maybe it's because my creator cast a spell on me. I can step out of my stand and go out of the shop. As I walked on the street, I saw a place with people having a smile on their faces. I curiously enter and try to find out why they are that happy.
I saw someone that looks familiar to me. I remember him. He is the owner of the shop where I was standing. Will he recognize me? I wish not.
Luckily, he just asked me to dance with him. He was so drunk and I pity his situation that I can't reject what he asked of me. So we danced and danced the whole night. I fell in love in that instance. I can feel the pain within him, and how I wish I could be a human just like him and I will be on his side no matter what.
I carry him back to his shop. I don't know when I can be alive again. I watch him sleep and a few drop of tears flow on his cheeks.
As a crack of dawn is seen on the window sill, I go back to where I stand preparing to be lifeless again and wait for the time where I can move again. He wake up and look closer to me. I feel uneasy. He walks towards me. What can I do, I can't make a move. He tells me all his secret and struggle in life and I just listen. He loves a girl dearly and his love for her is the reason for his pain. His life is at stake as he was suffering leukemia.
The sun began to set and I hope I can enjoy again the night. I can feel my feet touching the floor. My creator once makes me feel how it is to have a life. I saw him there on the same place of those jolly people. Before, I asked myself, does he lack happiness and always need to go there to have one? Now, I know the answer to my own question.
As I sat near him, he told me that sometimes people should realize that there are things in life that we need to enjoy so that we will not regret when we need to leave this world. I want to make him feel better. If only I can be the girl that he love.
If my creator could hear me, I would change my desire to be a human. I set aside myself and give my life to him just not to see him in that situation.
The next night, I saw him in the hospital. He was calling the name of that girl. I want to help him and I can't take it that he still think about her. So I run back to the shop and pray to my creator not to make me alive instead give it to him whom I love.
With a snap, I fell on the floor.
The next day, he was back to his shop and looks like he's okay. A girl was looking on me. She entered the shop and kissed him. I wish them well as I accept what love is all about... SACRIFICE.
