BLISSFUL

BLISS

As she swam into a river of happiness she saw everything she had gone through during her time on earth through her own reflection . The sad memories surpassed the good ones but one person made her stop her journey. She froze looking at it.  A stream of tears came from her eyes making her want to go back. In her reflection was her and her best friend just looking at each other and laughing. Oh how simple those times were, she thought. And then came another memory of both of them swinging and running behind each . Each memory made her want to go back even more and change everything , to try and fix it but she couldn't she had made her decision. She looked up at the endless sky and pleaded,"Oh Almighty, let me see her one last time, visit her before I complete my journey and enter  internal peace , and never remember any of this again". A flash of light and the next thing she knew she was at her own funeral, seeing her parents weep and her classmates wailing close to them, but in a corner was the girl she had come for , holding a cloth in her hand and holding it over her face, she went closer to her and brushed her hair lightly and with one touch she knew that her friend wasn't crying instead, she wanted to stay strong and couldn't feel sorry for her mate because she was happy, happy that her friend would finally attain peace . After a few minutes, she removed the cloth and left whilst shivering. She stood outside the house when her father approached her and said, "Clair are you ok?" without uttering a word Clair took a bottle of water from the table next to her and chugged it. Her tears finally started flowing, not because she was angry but because she would miss Love's  company. Love followed her the whole day trying to calm her down everytime she felt down until it was nighttime. When Clair finally fell asleep she knew what she had to do. She slowly whispered into her ears, " Hi my love, I want you to know that I will always be here for you , you may not see me but if anything is bothering I will stand beside you although you won't be able to see me. I just want you to never forget me and always remember that I am happy now . I love you." She gave her a kiss on the cheek and finally left her ray of hope, her soulmate forever. Through her journey through the river of happiness she saw her friend wake up and smile for the first time in a long time assuring Love that she would always be remembered for the angel that she was...... After a week or so, Love's body suddenly started glowing, sparks of light everywhere, when she woke up, she was in the arms of her best friend, who was now her mother, and thus, starting a new life, Love reached the stage she wanted, a stage of eternal peace. She had reached a stage of BLISS.
