7 Days of Taufan

Happiness

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

-Dalai Lama XIV

Cheers and whispers of joy echoed in the air as the septuplets celebrated their nineteen birthday together.

The area around the kokotiam was decorated beautifully with alot of streamers and as such.

But balloons were strictly banned from the area due to a tsunderstorm.

All their friends were there, including the new ones they have made in space.

Taufan watched on as Tok Aba and Gempa distributed the cake to everyone and the girls were trying hard to stop Gopal from devouring it as a whole.

Taufan chuckled at the sight and sat down under a tree, his share of cake untouched on the plate in his hands.

"You seem off, what's wrong?" a voice whispered as the wind picked up and the person appeared next to the aerkinetic.

Taufan sighed.

"Oh man, I can't hide anything from you, can I? You read me like a book!!" He tried to retort.

"What can I say? I'm you afterall." Revan smirked amused, making the original groan and bow his head in defeat.

"Okay, enough chit chat. Spill the beans." Revan pressed on, his tone meant business.

Taufan sighed and looked back at his brothers who were laughing along with his friends.

"I just wish this could last forever. All of us being ourselves and happy.." he smiled.

"But alas.. nothing lasts forever." He continued, sighing miserably.

"Our vacation ends soon then we'll be back on missions, putting our life on the line.. We won't have time or an opportunity to be happy.."

Revan just stared at Taufan dumbfounded.

He exhaled exasperated and looked at the clear blue sky.

"Happiness is not really defined by our circumstances."

"Huh?"

"True happiness comes from within. It's truly based on the way we interpret things."

"I don't get you.."

"People seek happiness in bigger things that they forget about the smaller things in life. There are a lot of things we can be happy about but we tend to overlook them..

For instances, here we are, alive, breathing and healthy. We should be happy about that. There are the less fortunates who are suffering in the hospital or didn't make it to see this day.

We have food, water, clothes, a roof over our heads and there are others who suffer without them.

We have a family who provide for us and there are kids in the orphanage who were abandoned by their own.

It's these little things we ignore that actually means a lot and gives happiness. Things we are supposed to be grateful for."

Taufan blinked, impressed by the other's knowledge and understanding.

"For a person who was born out of sadness, you sure know alot about happiness.." he gawked.

Revan smiled a rare smile.

"I'll take that as a compliment. But that's not all."

"There's more??"

"Yeah.. We shouldn't be selfish and have this happiness for ourselves.

We can spread it by doing simple deeds and reach out to provide for the less fortunates. A simple act of love.

That way, we'll be able to put a smile on their face, bringing happiness to their homes."

Taufan nodded eagerly and stood up next to his reverse.

"Then let's do it!! Let's spread happiness!!! Let's put a smile on everyone's face!!"

Revan could only chuckle at Taufan's enthusiasm.

"Yeah."
