A Hat, A Love Letter And A Broken mirror

ONCE UPON A MAN

ONCE UPON A MAN...

"I dont understand what the mayor is trying to introduce into this town. All we need is new schools, hospitals, more organisations that will help the poor and the disabled. We dont need more of his expensive manufactured products from other countries. How will that support the town of Anasterville? I should probably conclude saying, he has gone insane, or rather he is doing it for his own sake and his rich fellow friends. He has totally forgoten his main aim of being mayor in this town. I suggest he be removed, immidiatley, before he turns this town into his own play ground, "

I was that type of a guy who was sensitive when it comes to fighting for whats right. The town hold up a meeting on the state and management of Anasterville. My father, who was the second in chief of the town, was not around to witness the reports on the meeting. As his right hand man, i took charge in standing in his place. The mayor, clearly doesnt understand what the town requires, he fails to meet the demands of what the town needs and wants.

Simon was the name. I grew up under the best care, yet raised by a single parent. I never knew my mother, because she passed away while giving birth to me. All i know is that my father loved her so much. After i finished high school i went to varsity and studied law. I wanted to be a well trained lawyer that will stand up for the people of my town. There is nothing more that makes me happy than seeing people happy, i will do everything i can to put a permanent smile on a person's face.

At the age of 25, i am a well known lawyer around the town. I am known to be a tough cookie. I abide by the laws, and is even capable of putting a person life inprison for breaking a simple law, such as not stoping the car while the robot is red. My mentality is to make this town a better place, a place where there is peace and no coruption. That was possible right?

My father wanted me to take it slow, and be calm, settle down and start my own family. Ofcourse its every human being's wish to find someone to complete their heart, but its just something i wasnt planning on doing or rather ready for. I wouldnt say i was bad looking, i just wasnt at a place of being in a commited relationship. I was, a couple of times, involved in the dating world, but i wanted to focus much on what i loved most, my career.

I have my own title that says BEFRIEND NO ONE BECAUSE YOU CANT TRUST NO ONE. Ofcourse i made aquatance with people but it wasnt my desire to make them close. The only person i shared my thoughts with was my father. We usually had a bonding time, talk about anything that comes to mind. I pretty much knew that he wasnt happy as he claims to be. It seems like when he lost his wife, his happiness was buried with her. I might not have seen them together but i know he must have been happy, more happy than he says he is.

My favorite sport is golf, It keeps me calm and collected. I dont drink alcohol of any kind, I believe i should be sober minded at all times. I sometimes attend parties but mostly on celebrations or festive seasons. I dont have a strong connection with my aunts and uncles and most of my relatives,but we do have family gatherings at times. I am a very insecure guy when it comes to expressing my feelings. I just prefer to keep them to myself, and bottle them up. I am reserved, maybe a little judgemental.

My life to me was fragile, i made sure what ever i did with it, it shouldnt break me. Being the only child made me realise that if i didnt handle my life with care it would also break the people around me, just like a broken mirror. Its hard for a broken mirror to reflect an object like it should, whatever object that is close to it, it is affected.

I was to make possibilies become realities. Maybe i was to fall in love, get married, start a family, continue my legacy of making my town happy, and even find a way to make my father feel alive again. But its all in good time, good things come to those who wait.

There isnt much interesting about me, or maybe there is. Its all to be fulfilled as i take up my destiny to find the lost piece of the broken miirror. And it all begins now...
