Kaleidoscope of Emotions

The Illumination of the Screen

November 2, 2019

"Hi! I am your best buddy!"

"Surprise!"

"What is that!?"

"It's the head of the person you loathe! This is what you want, right? To get rid of him."

"No! This is wrong!"

"Mom!"

"Why did you lock me inside the cabinet? I thought I am your best buddy?"

"I'm sorry. Come here."

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

"Hit him on the head! Smash him using this!"

"What are you doing!? You need to kill him immediately!"

When you feel lonely and you start to cry, I am always by your side. We are best buddies until the end. More than just buddies, we are best friends. Don't ever leave me. Please don't say goodbye. I'll be yours 'til the day that you die.

His lullaby was echoing inside my head. It keeps replaying and replaying like a broken record. A loud scream made my heart to beat faster than its normal rate. My face turned pale while trying to cover my shivering lips. I turned into a statue while looking straight to the brown orbs of the man who was seeking for help. My eyes wandered to every place that it could reach, but it only found the pitch-black darkness. The wail of a baby perturbed me to the point that I forced myself to lean on the wall, hoping that it would keep me safe. I suddenly heard footsteps. My whole system was in chaos so I shut my eyes and focused on pulling myself together.

Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub.

When silence ruled the place, I decided to slowly lift my eyelids and looked at what I was staring. A chilling sensation sent down to my spine while looking at the face of the doll that was looking at me intently with a big smile.

Oh shocks!

I swallowed hard. The deafening silence was disturbed by a slow creaking sound of the door. It feels like I was paralyzed because of the cold breeze that keeps on whispering on my ears. The pupils of my eyes dilated when the creepy doll started to run like a predator chasing to its prey.

Suddenly, all I could see was the reflection of my face on the screen. I sighed when I realized that there was a rotational brownout happening on our vicinity.

I went out of my shell, trying to find tranquility by drowning myself with the beauty of the natural satellite of the Earth. The fresh air was filling in my lungs; just like how the realization about the motion picture filled in my mind. The truth about not having a true friend would never be impossible. There would be a certain friend who would do anything, even if it would make him/her the antagonist, just to protect and make you happy. But unfortunately, not all the efforts were appreciated. There would be a time in which you would slap to each others' faces the efforts that you have had done for one another. Those slaps would unconsciously wound the relationship due to the sharp nails of the words that scratched your hearts. With that, you'll realized that it was better for the both of you to stop making memories; that no one will always be there for you but yourself and your family; and, that person will only served as your lesson in life.

I took a deep breath and took a step towards the new chapter of my life.

I'm done fixing myself. Now, I'll start fixing my life.
