Little Cakes Dream #12

What could be the next one! My heart is racing against time.

There's hanging from the wings. Paper is rolled and it's placed inside a small ring shaped holder. I guess my clue for another treasure. Yay, I am right. It was a printed one with colorful background.

I am so white and bright,
I shine and lit the path for you,
Peek from the window and see,
Sometimes I am new,
Sometimes I am full,
I have so many friends around me,
They are so far yet we are close,
Make a wish when they fall,
We follow you everywhere,
We decorate your roof,
He who is so bright hide me so well,
Yet I come around every day when he goes the other side.

Wow, now I need to find the friends! Great job for the day. I felt finding bug in the code easier now than decoding this. Someone should give me energy drink for more strength. Looking at the time I realised it's time for lunch and I have a clue to crack. I walked past the cash counter to see if can pay up for the items in this floor.

Luckily Mike went by walk to the other store and might be he'd to walk as the car key was with me.

After dragging the big baskets of groceries and loading them, dialed Mike's no to check if he will make it possible to join me for lunch. No joy! I could reach only to his voice box. I just left a short note and started looking out for nearby restaurants. Message notification pop up and as usual I got the result for my search in his message.

"Meet you in 10 minutes @ Kate's café Little cake "
Mr. X

It's a small cafe in the next street and they serve good food for recent price.

Minutes of walk and I opened the door to Kate's café, just in time to be received by someone working there in her middle 30's guiding me to the table at corner and said will get my order in couple of minutes. This feels so good.

She comes back with the order. Yummy delicious pan cake with fresh cream decorating it. Half crescent moon was drawn over it. Does his smile will also be so warm like this?! Why do I compare him with the moon? Is it because he is so bright and lits my path now?

"Jeez, that's it. The Moon and the stars! "

I have cracked it. This is another clue! How sweet of him. I desperately wanted to go back and search but then what do I search for! As quickly as possible I completed my lunch and decided to budge in the gift store first.

I looked for cards with moon and star. No luck in cards section. Nothing to be found in small statues sections. Person managing the store came up and asked for what kind of gift exactly am looking for! I had managed to come up with some excuses. Still he's not convinced with my answer. Probably I look suspicious!

Lost in thoughts I just passed another section of chains and bracelets. As if I am sure that nothing will be there in this section, I just rotated the holder with bracelets and stopped immediately with the one that's hanging at the last of the last row.

Without believing that am actually seeing it, just took it out and checked it again and again.

Person managing the store came back again to give a chit and smiled at me.

"The person who loved you most brought the moon and the stars so close to you and tied them around your hand"

All that came out of my mouth is "Dad".

That was his present when I won the essay writing competition. I wrote the essay on the moon and stars and so he made the bracelet with a moon, a star and the letter J hanging.

Holding my tears I ran as fast as I can to washroom. I looked at my image in the mirror and the bracelet. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I will never find words to thank him for this and what will I do for the payback?.

I tied the bracelet, washed my face and came out. People crossing me gave a stare. I sat down near the fountain and looked again at the bracelet.

Everything I lost, he's bringing it back to me. I felt so warm.

He's writing new chapters in my book and I let him!
