Begin Again

Lost

This place is so noisy, I can barely hear myself think. He never expected Palau to have as many people, he's expecting to have peace and quiet in this foreign place.

And to add to his annoyance, a squealing little girl caught his attention. "Mommy!" The girl is shouting from the top of her lungs while crying, though the sound really gets into his head, he finds something really calming about the girl. He started to walk, trudging his way to the girl in this really busy street. Market goers' and the vendors' lively noises were harmonizing oddly with the little girl's screams. The the squealing stopped, it turned into giggles, a woman with long brunette locks picked the little girl up. Their hair actually matched well. That's her mom probably. He thought. He was supposed to go and help the child but atleast the little girl is with her mom already.

Now, with nothing to distract Ares, he's back in his remeniscence. She has always been a beach person, there is nothing else in the world that could really make her happy. That "happy" where you see her face light up. She would have loved the beach here, but not the crowd. She loves serene places, the only noise acceptable is the splashing when the sea hits the sand and rocks. And that quiet is one of his regrets, he did not appreciate it, they fought about it. Everytime. He cant understand that quiet, he despised that silence. And now, all he has is silence. She's lost. He lost her.

"I'm not happy with this anymore." She's showing no reaction, just hiding her face with her palm. "I don't mean to hurt you, but this is just isn't what I want anymore." She just looked at me for a long time, as if memorizing how I look. She stood up and walked away. That was the last time I saw her.

He focused on the road, now here's some peace and quiet. He walked past the marketplace and was not able to notice because he was caught up in his memories. Aries, you went on this trip to mark the end. To give yourself a chance. To try and begin again. To let go and leave everything behind. But everything from the past haunts him. Haunts him so bad.
