The Beginning of The End

I was called into doing this one after seeing a friend updated her blog with the same reason for the entry. Well then. Let us get to the main point.

Since it's gonna be new year's eve,I bet you want to listen to a story? It's been a while right? Then here goes..

Once upon a time, there was commoner. His whole life, he played it by the book. The commoner had one goal in mind. He wanted to live normal life, work a normal job, and die as normal as he can. Simply put, the commoner really did live as a commoner. He never faced any challenge, nobody hates him nor likes him. That was until he found himself at the royal castle. He  had fallen in love with the queen. You see, this causes an anomaly in the commoner's plans. By letting himself fallen, he realized that he would never be able to play it safe anymore. Day by day, the commoner kept on exchanging letters with the queen. The commoner was happy. Because his life had just started to become an exciting one. But little did he know, that he will have to pay a price for what he had achieved. 

*The commoner*

 Although the commoner doesn't have any solid relationship with the queen, he was actually hoping for more. He wanted to be with the queen, staying by her side. Being loyal only to her. But the commoner doesn't realize that the queen had already have someone else in mind by that time. It was a prince from a distant kingdom. A talented pupil of the commoner's mother. And it seems, they had already had a relationship prior to the commoner meeting the queen. One day, while on his way meeting the queen, the commoner saw this foreign prince going to the queen's chamber. There, he saw how the queen treated the prince the same way she treated him. 

*The queen*

Right there, the commoner had a revelation. He thought to himself " I..wasn't that special after all. I was only ANOTHER man that she befriended. I was blind to keep on having faith. I should leave her be." The following day, the commoner took his leave. He exiled himself to faraway place. Hoping he would be able to forget. That's when he met the Sorcerer. He made a deal with her. If she wipe off clean the whole feelings he harbored for the queen, then he would live his whole life living as normal as ever again. The Sorcerer speak of one phrase " He who forgets will earn his happiness" and just like that, the commoner forget and the queen was forgotten.

A couple of months later. It was new year's eve in the kingdom. As the commoner sat alone together with the stars filled sky, he wondered to himself. What did he do to deserved this? What should he do now? After tasting a bit of life he never had, he wanted more. Trying to live normally now would be a stupid thing to do. He yearns for excitement. He wanted to feel that "feel" again. But he was heartbroken by that time. He kept smiling although it felt like hell inside. 

Then, the skies were filled with light, the fireworks were all over the place. He had already forgotten the new year's celebration. As he stood there, someone pat him on the back. It was his friends, and there was his family. Their faces were radiated with light, they were happy. It was then that feelings struck the commoner's heart. He was too determined to fall in love that he forgotten about those who actually cared for him. He was too blinded by self-pity, that he didn't realized that there are others who would comfort him. From that day on, he promised himself. No matter what happens, no matter what kind of people would stand in his way, he would ALWAYS think of his love ones. And to make the pain go away, he would indulge himself in his life's work. And he will continue this, until the day he sure that he met the RIGHT one.

And so the story ends with the determined commoner, sitting together with his family and friends under the fireworks filled sky. Enjoying the moment before everything subsides.

I know, I know. The story kinda sucks but it'll do for new year's eve. Just bear in mind. Don't be like the commoner who had his hopes up for something absurd. Sometimes, it's better for us to be a bit self-reserved. Don't get your hopes up too much cuz when the time comes, you'll the one that get hurt, not the other way around.

P/S: Happy new year mom and dad, and also to my siblings
