My inner sanctum.

"Come over here, Ariel!" Her in her forever chirpy voice.

"for what?" he replied unwillingly

"I wanna show you something!" She answered back excitedly.

"show what, i do not want to see your ugly face!" he shouted bluntly

"c'mon... pls? dun be so mean!!!!" she started to be dejected.

He walked away... not knowing that a sea of shooting stars came along at that very instant.

Regardless, she still wished upon the shooting stars that they could have an opportunity to be together and enjoy happy memories with each other.

Tears fell for the first time of her teenage years. Queer, but still sad. She was one of the most sought after girls in the secondary school that Ariel and her goes to. She had been attracted to Ariel ever since the start of their secondary school life and has rejected countless guys. However, Ariel, does not really care much. Emotions seem to be foreign to his personality as he has never been seen smiling, nor frowning. Just a simple stern look everytime he walks around.

Everyone was puzzled to why she had fallen for him. Many were stunned to her preference of choice. Ariel was quite a simple person who played a low profile key before he was made "popular" by her admiration towards him. Being quite a dreamer, he always went to the school's rooftop to just gaze at its compound by himself.

Many were puzzled.... Just puzzled....

She would do so many sweet things for him. Things that only lovers would do for each other like bake cookies, make breakfast, write sweet and thoughtful notes, so on and so forth. However, it has been time and time again where he does not seem to appreciate what has been done for him.

Regardless of the comments that were made by her friends, classmates and schoolmates, she was still proud of him regardless and retracted any negative comments made about him. Clearly, She was deeply in love. It was the first ever time. She does not know why too. However, its the feeling and chemistry that she recieved as she met him for the first time a few years back.

She, too had a quiet sanctuary of her own. It was at the corner of the Science Block of her school where she would go to whenever she is not feeling the chirpy mood that she is usually in. Coincidentally, it overlooked the rooftop where Ariel frequented as his favourite spot.

She dropped by there today. Thinking about the sad things that had happened the previous night where he just walked away from her amongst the bed of shooting stars. It was quite a moment for her as she was extremely fascinated with this subject of matters. In addition, that day was White Valentine's Day. She had also managed to ask him out through a series of painful steps. She embraced herself in those thoughts, those happenings. However, she knows itvery well that she will never ever give up. She smiled to herself and said,

"Someday, I shall be his piano, his pillar, his soulmate."

Her motivation to try again just strengthened as she reminisced the memories of her being the little fan and him being a popular pianist loved by so many people. Yes, it was the soothing melodies which won over her heart to him. It was a random way to develop feelings for someone in this way. However, that was the drive that got her to learn piano as well. It was also the drive that brought her back to her senses after the tragic passing of her brother.

"I shall sincerely show him that I am true."She smiled again after a brief moment of tears.

"This time, it really is the fate and chemistry which would bind us together."

She then made her way back home. Back to her cheerful manner. However, what would happen next, would be a tragic fate in the act of God. She had spotted him walking across the road with a car coming in at thunderous speeds. Unwittingly, in an act of natural reaction, she had pushed him away while she got banged by the car herself.

He was in a state of shock.

"JAN!!!!!"

She dropped hard onto the road. There was blood everywhere. However, she still mastered to get in one last breath.

"Ariel, I Love you."

He carried her in his arms and cried. Within seconds, she has left this world to join our lord in heaven. Tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes. After calling the ambulance, he proceeded to grab the bouquet of sunflowers that he has bought for her in an attempt to confess to her today. But that has to be cancelled, forever. He can never confess to her anymore. She is now gone. A sense of emptiness came to him instantly. It was now his turn to feel what she had felt for him...... He will never be the same anymore... Guilt and anguish overflows his former emotionless character and personality.

During her funeral, the song that he used to play, was being broadcasted. Her parents mentioned that the song would be the source of her happiness, cheerfulness and positive mindset despite the many happenings that went on in her family. He throughly regretted everything that he has done. For not being honest with his feelings. However, its really too late for regret.........

I believe that wishing upon a star does bring wishes come true... But its all at a price... Let fate bring someone who will touch our lives. Let time decide when you will meet the right person. Once you meet that person, never hesitate to let that person know that you have a heartfelt bond for them. Never regret not saying that you have sincere feelings for someone before its too late. The pain that will be incurred will leave a hurtful scar for life................

SO LONG FOR A SHORT STORY!!!! =D

Mesmerized within time...
