Happiness Campaign

The Arrival in Earth

It was morning when I arrived in Planet Earth, the only remaining planet that my father hasn't visited and hopefully the planet that can bring hope to Gioia. The dazzling light of the sun bathed my face and when I cleared my vision, I was about to bump onto a middle-aged woman, so I closed my eyes. I was waiting for her to shout at me but I only felt a gust of wind pass through my body. That's when I discovered that I was invisible; they could not feel me nor see me, and I figured out why. My mother put something on my skin that time when she wrapped her arms around me and touched my hands. I started to think of how I can communicate with these people. How will I be able to ask them about the true meaning of happiness?

I walked on the streets wondering and losing hope. I sat on the side of the road thinking that this is the last hope to save the Jinjileis, but in the end I failed. If they would all die, it was all because of me. I thought I was strong enough to face every challenge in life, but this is different, this will really test my patience and determination. My tears were about to fall when I heard a voice coming from behind.

"Hello! Why are you crying? Please, don't cry, or else, you will become ugly."

As I turned around, I saw the silhouette of a boy; the light of the sun prevented me from seeing his face clearly. He smiled and handed me a red flower that had many petals. As I was about to say something, he suddenly ran away. I tried to chase him so I could at least thank him, but he was nowhere to be found. I felt relieved with the words that he said, but a certain truth came to me. How come he could see me? Is it possible that others could see me as well? I have tried talking to other people and even bumped onto them many times but no one noticed me. I knew I needed to find this boy. I wasn't sure if he was the only one in this planet who could see me but one thing was for certain maybe he could help me.
