There was a guy walking straight where he can see the brightness. It was dark, he can't even see his own shadow. His face is full of confusion, what's going on?
Suddenly, he heard something. Making him feel dreary, he heard someone—a girl crying. He unintentionally turned his back and followed the rhythm of the heartbreaking but also a fulfilling cry he heard.
There, he stopped from walking and he found a girl. A girl with white dress, sitting while crying and looking up to the blackness.
Now, he's more confused. So he asked,
“Why are you alone and crying?” He asked softly, the girl looked at her while wiping her own tears. But it didn't help, because it's still falling down to her rosy cheeks.
“T-the darkness, t-the darkness ate m-me. Y-you too! We are eaten by the darkness!” She looks frighten; she is, he thought.
He smiled and gave her his hand, the girl confusingly reached for it. She didn't know too, she just felt the need to touch and hold unto the guy's hand even if they don't still know each other.
“Yes, we are eaten by the darkness. But can't you see that light?” He purposely talk as much as fast as he can, he have this burning feeling inside him the moment she touched his hands, unusual; he thought. The girl nodded, “That will bring us to peace. That little light is our guide, you and me — we are not totally eaten bu the darkness. As you can see, every impossible problem have their own way to solve it. You just have to look for it.” He smiled as he point at the little light on their right side using her hand.
The girl looked at him with hope in her eyes, she smiled and that made the guy speechless. He didn't speak, he can't.
“Why are you helping me?” She asked, the guy just smiled at her.
“Because you don't belong here, I know.” He was about to release her hand when she hold unto it tightly, the guy confusingly looked at her,
“You felt the burning sensation too, do you?” She asked. The guy with his shocked expression answered automatically.
“Yes, yes! Its a bit unusual. I held hands with a stranger like a century before, and I didn't felt this feeling until now.” He said,
“Hmm. Me too, I don't know why I'm hurt but its worth it, because its you—the one who is helping me.” She genuinely smiled and a tear escaped from her magical eyes,
“I was here for a long time, my tears seems infinite. They won't stop even if I try to control it. Maybe its because I became a ruthless monster, but that was before. I know He will forgive me, as I repent for what I did before. He's just that sympathetic and He loves us so much, as long as we repent and learn from our mistakes,” She grabbed on his hands more tightly and smiled, “Would you join me, stranger? Let's get back home!” She joyfully said. The guy became worried and he suddenly looked down.
“What's wrong?” The girl asked as she lift his head up with her hand, not minding the painful sensation that it caused her.
“Don't touch me!” The guy shouted, the girl is still in shocked due to his sudden actions towards her, but she still asked fearlessly.
“Tell me, what's wrong?” She said softly as he stepped closer to him. The guy looked at her with his cold eyes.
“That's why we feel the pain in every touch, stranger. We're different! I'm a sinner, an evildoer! ” He said.
“Why did you help me, then?” She asked, still smiling from ear to ear.
“B-because you don't belong here.” He said, calmly. He didn't know why but her smile made him calm.
“Why is that you didn't killed me?” She asked and that made him shocked,
“I can't kill or hurt someone like you! Or even someone! I maybe a sinner, but I'm not and will not be a murderer, no.” He shooked his head many times. She grabbed his hands again and told him,
“You're a sinner, He's a forgiver. Why do you think you saw the light first before me? Why do you think that you aren't burning from my touch then?” She smiled, “Its from you, in every impossible problem, is a way to solve it. You've said that earlier. Yes, you're a sinner—but He already forgave you as you repent from your mistakes and helped me to see the light that I was asking for.” She smiled snd grabbed both of his hands.
“Look at me. You've said that we are not yet eaten by darkness because we can still see the light, right?” He nodded.
“You saw it first, let's go now stranger. He's waiting for us.” She said and dragged him out of there.
“Who are you?” He asked, while running she happily answered,
“I'm the one you lend a hand earlier, I'm the one who will bring you to peace with me. Because you don't belong here as well. I'm an Angel that was once a sinner but not so long. You, who are you?” She asked, the guy looked at her with admiration in his eyes.
“I'm a sinner, and He's a forgiver. I now forgive myself from my sins as He forgave me first. I was once a Demon that helped you and now you're helping me, bringing me to peace with you.” He smiled. They're very near to the brightness when the girl talked,
“We were once a stranger to each other, but with Him—we now know ourselves, our worth and our mission. Thank you for helping me, thank you for being with me—we're now resting from the tiring centuries of our lives. Welcome back, brother!” She joyfully said that made him smile.
In every impossible problem has their own way to solve it. As long as you believe that its been there all along, it is.
