my beloved mother always enjoyed telling stories about the galaxy and supernatural beings to me before. she would always give me books about those things when she finally got home after a long day at work. i usually don't get bored when my mom is not around because of those precious things she always brings home.
i visit the church all the time. because i lived there with my grandma ever since that day my mom disappeared. well, she's not really my grandma by blood but i treat her like that.

without my grandma, i will just be a scrawny kid walking around the streets and asking people for money and who knows, maybe i wouldn't have even survived. i asked her why my mom left me at that church but she doesn't know either. it's kinda sad....but eventually, i just got used to it even though, up until now, i still held hope that she will come back and say she's sorry for leaving me like that.

"kiera!" i called her, i think i startled her a bit but it's okay, she never got mad at me.

"brett? you're finally here." she answered. mhm, i know she's thinking about something. i know her pretty well, she was my only childhood friend after all.

i also introduced to her my lovely books that were given by my mom. and from that day, she's interested about those stuffs as well just like me. she lives here in the church with the priest that found her when she was just young.

i saw her as my older sister. she was just like me so we understand the situation of one another. but, hers is quite painful because she didn't know any of her parents at all.

i just visit here after the food that my grandma cooked sell out. it is very hot and sunny outside when i was just walking to sell them. and i think i got enough money for the rest of the week, for the both of our needs.

"what's on your mind, today?" i sat beside her.

she smiled and sighed softly, "i was praying earlier, you know? like we always do until now. i still have some hope that the God above will grant all my wishes. that someday, he will finally hear my prayers and you know, i can see all of a sudden."

i sighed sadly and wrapped my arm around her shoulder, "don't worry kiera, i feel the same sometimes. i know it's really hard to believe that it will come true but maybe someday it will, we just need to be patient and let's trust him."

"but what are your prayers?"

"my prayers? of course, that i wish i would see my mom again and she'll come home and never leave again. i really miss her so much. i miss her sweet voice when she's humming tchaikovsky and other classical pieces to help me fall asleep." i smiled at the wonderful memory.

"i am sure you'll be able to see her again soon. you're lucky that you still have chance. i don't even know if i'll be able to see again. i want to see the color of the flowers, leaves, trees and the stars, i bet they look beautiful." kiera took a deep breath.

what is that? is that.......a?

i stood up and squinted at the sky. oh, i was right.

"kiera! there's a shooting star!" i shouted in excitement. i saw the wide grin in her face when i turned around. "really?"

"make a wish!" she replied. i nodded and closed my eyes.

please,

i want to see my mother. i want to hug her. i want to see her again. please hear my wish. i want to be with her again. even just for a split second, for the last time. and i would never ask for anything again.
