Chapter 2 - A World With You

The next day, and also the day after the next,
was horrifying.
Nothing went right for him.
Several complaints were filed to his assistant.
And many were on leave.

He practically had to do everything on his own.
Not only that, his single life was getting to him.
AND his mum.

His mum just couldn't stop setting him up with other ladies.
It wasted his time. The ladies' time.
And it usually also pretty much ruins the day for both parties.
Which makes it more stupid to even think about going in the first place.

One day, he finally decided to go on a vacation.
Anywhere, anywhere away from his mum and anyone he knew.

-----------

He ended up in Hawaii.
It wasn't exactly the perfect place to be.
But it was the best he could afford.

Now, he lay relaxed on the beach under the hot sun.
He hadn't felt this much at peace since 6 years ago.
And it struck him, that ever since, he barely laughed. Or smile for real.
At all.

And it was probably one of the most saddest thing that could happen to a man,
he could not even make himself happy.

He sighed, then glared at the sunlight,
as if at war with the strength of the sunlight,
he unconsciously ignored the presence beside him,

the lady greeted him, then sat down on her towel
she sat still for a while, then played with the sand and stared at the ocean,
which seemed better of a choice than staring at the Sun.

Just as he felt he could not take it any longer,
he quickly looked back to the beach.
His sight was a blur,
but he stared at the woman beside him,
firstly, she seemed to gleam in darkness,
then she glowed,
and slowly, his sight returned,
and his eyes widened, recognizing the lady.

She turned to look at him, the same expression on her face.
She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing would come out.
He too, wanted to say something, but he couldn't figure out what it was that he wanted to say.

They stared at each other for a while,
as the sun started to set,
and in her hazel eyes,
he saw his future.

His future that was whole.

*FIN* =)
