Chapter 2:

"A simple memory"

Gardening of the flowers


For a moment he could stare at the whole tree as it had a lot of scratch marks. For a moment it was just looking like a days counting. For a moment he thought, so this what had happened from before. Would've had nothing to completely understand it.


Then he quickly scanned the trees, seeing a lot of marks of it getting scratched. For a moment he thought, so that's what really happened. I mean, it's just a random thought, but then instantly he remembered a fainted memory of him just standing there near the darkness, smiling as he continued to carve the whole tree with a lot of markings. He said, "Well, this is to see how our friendship will last."


But for a moment his own body felt the weight of his own stomach about to drop from hearing a single word he had said. He thought, when did this even happen? But at that very moment, he couldn't tell who will continue the entire markings. It just stood staring at him. He cannot just see the markings, but feel a bit more calmer for some reason.


He thought, so when did my own family went here? Was it a long time ago? I cannot be precise, but I cannot really understand what would've truly happened in the past. He looked at the reflection of his own hands facing the markings. He thought, so when do I continue to keep fighting for someone who I liked before? But I hadn't even had a crush on a single girl yet. I continue to wonder what will happen in my own future.


He couldn't really look at the marks for a moment. Can't tell whether he's going to be okay or not without a missing person he had yet to remember from his own single past. It was long ago when he's six, now he's going to be in his own 19 years old. It was quite strange, right? He had remembered a single thing from his own childhood.


But for a moment he continued to put a mark while subconsciously looking at nothing. His own mind was pretty much occupied with a lot of his own thoughts. He couldn't remember what would truly happen in his own future, but one thing's for sure: he can tell that something will happen soon in his own life. While behind him, a shadow had looked at him from behind, sensing something. He awoke from his own thoughts and said, "Hello, is anybody there?" For a moment, nothing could hear him.


But he cannot tell what's going to happen to his own mind. But then, as the sunrise was about to fall, he thought, was I that out for too long? But then he continued to stare into the sand that was near the park. He can remember that his own missing person was there, sitting beside him from the very moment. He thought, when did I have this memory? He saw him laughing for a moment. It wasn't something he find a bit enjoyable.


Till the very moment he could tell that this isn't just something he last seen. It was something he had last missed from the very beginning. Each day he would've thought of this day to come, yet he stays there staring at the waves crashing across the sand. It was blueish-green. It wasn't something he would've clearly seen before, but it was something he wanted to see during his own childhood.But for a moment it wasn't just a single memory that had sparked his own sadness. He could see him slowly running up to the waves in enjoyment. But for a moment he thought, so when can I clearly see something that I had once lost during my own childhood? It wasn't something special; it was a long memory that I still cherish till today. He continued to stare at the beach all the time long. It continued to feel, but his own body rejected of going to work.


But for a moment he wanted to stay at this very last place because he couldn't help but wanna experience something he had once feared during his own childhood. Now it was something he will ever experience from time again.


He continued to get up and walked nearly to the beach and continued until he saw a cave and a pirate ship. It wasn't something he can't quite remember, but for a moment he can tell it wasn't only going to be the very last thing that had brought him nostalgia. He cannot... Can't quite name why it's bringing that to his own mind. He just stood there for a moment, quietly holding the pirate ship. But from the dark, a voice had echoed, "Why are you going to play with that?" But for a moment his own eyes had widened and he saw himself for a moment. He said, "Well, are you okay if I share this with you?"


And they both smiled at each other for a moment. They began to share their ship. He thought, who's this person? He began to cry for a moment. He thought, he cannot help but see his own shadow face as it continued to haunt his own memories. It wasn't something he expected, but it wasn't something he's going to forget subconsciously. But his own mind cannot tell whether he's in a dream or not, seeing the shadow figure now standing there. He said, "I can't name it, but I feel like something is trying to watch me for a good reason." He looked at the sky for a moment. He cannot move. He just stood there and continued to write on his own journal. For a moment he continued to walk towards the park and noticed something. It was another thing—it was the wheel spinner.


For a moment he cannot tell if it's going to be a normal thing just to see, but it was pretty much just the same. He continued to write it down on his paper.
