(…. under this water we were able to breathe … we closed our eyes and swam at the depth of our feelings .. we shared the warmth .. love and happiness … we decorated our horizon with bubbles … we just dived in and forgot about all the problems … outside lacked oxygen .. outside lacked softness it was just full of bothersome … but here .. under water … we found what we want…
_“ ! beautiful , right ?”
__“ y-yeah “
_“ come on I’ll show you the place ~”
__“w-wait , what about school ??”
_“we already late , plus our uniform is wet now , you don’t look like a nerd , are you ?”
__“ no I’m not .. I just .. skipping school is kinda “…
_“ dude !! stop complaining and enjoy the place ~ … hey u wanna see something cool ?? follow me “ .... she took me to the prettiest place my eyes had ever seen … the water is no longer blue .. it was turning green … and as we went deeper .. I saw leaves and grass .. plants were everywhere .. bubbles were making everything looks bigger .. tenser .. prettier … the stripes of grass are waving right & left rhyming their movement like parallel musical notes
__“why we never run out of oxygen here ? we been underwater for a long time now yet we are breathing fine .. is it magic ?”
_“magic ?!!! hahahahaha u are funny ! well as long as there is these pretty bubbles we gonna be just fine “
...
she said it while pushing her face into one of the large bubbles .. her hair is no longer laying over her forehead … it is dancing softly with the waves of water now … it was the first time I see her full face … she looked so beautiful .. but her prettiness wasn’t the only thing I was able to notice … I saw something weird on her forehead … something had the shape of a sign or a tattoo … it looked like it was glowing ..
.... __“what’s on your forehead ?“
_“my forehead ?? “
... the sign was gone the moment she touched her forehead … her expression gone dark for a second before she say : “ come on let’s get out ! “
__“what’s wrong ?”
_“ well I think our time is up “
__“what do you mean ??”
..... she replied with a slight curving in her lips as if she was forcing a smile … suddenly she moved toward me .. she moved fast and lightly .. our faces are inches away now … my eyes are wide open trying to gulp in what’s happening to me … she held my hands and pulled me toward her .. in a blink of an eye we were out of the water ..
__“wow! wo-woah my clothes are dry !!!“
_“and your hair too “ she replied with a smile .. then she said : “thank you I had a great time ! goodbye “
__“you are going now ?? “
_“yeah”
__“wait !! tell me who are you ? tell me your name ?? am I going to see you again ?“
_“ my name ? .. I don’t have a name .. and you don’t have one either “
__“ what? “
_“ yeah we are imaginary characters created by the writer up there .. “
__“ how? “
“_ well u see it’s all because of this photo “
__“this photo?? Why? “
_“ she told me that she saw the photo vibrating amazing feelings .. she couldn’t handle but to write a story about it ! good bye again !!”
__“goodbye “
she walked away as she turned into steam and vanished in the air … as I’m waiting for my turn to be turned to steam as well ! I reviewed what happened between us … I loved the underwater … I loved the brief time we had together .. we might not see each other again .. i might not be a personhood again ... but I’ll always remember her … as I’m standing here .. waiting for my turn to disappear .. I started missing her … I know it sounds crazy .. but I think I’ve fallen for h___ ) .
