lies a set of pearls that are scattered all over the floor like how the raindrops are wetting the lifeless gray granite and tar grounds...
how did it get there?
Well...it all began with the guy...the guy who is called...Flick Anderson...
who is he? well he was the guy who was the talk of the town...being all so dashing and smart...handsome and with golden hearts...a dear thing that catches every maiden's eye...
with his charms he might get any girl or women that he desires...
but no he's not that of a kind that would be fooling around...womanizing with as many as he can...
he's a guy with strong principles to find the true love he may find...and cherish her with whatever she wants...not letting her down even for a second...
for he is a remarkably honest man who longs for true love...
he once said that he wouldn't mind that
"even if his love would show up when he is torn and gray...
for he knew that true love...
it doesn't count with age..just like how other powerful things in the world
are immortal..."
it happened to him that he didn't need to wait till his hair are silver lined as he found his "LOVE" through the usual fortnight ascott on that budding may on a delightful afternoon..
she was a petite girl with a heart-shaped face that blushes and blooms like a full blossomed rose...her eyes are like dew drops of the auspicious mornings..so fresh and blue...her manners are absolutely thriving as what he could observe...but most of all she has the most beautiful voice that could enchant everyone that hears her serenade...
and that immediately does caught his eye...and definitely no doubt his heart...
and for a few months it has been a beautiful love story in the making for both of them...
and soon after that a proposal followed through...
few weeks before the marriage is to taken place...
unfortunately for him...
his company met with a dreadful most terrible loss that somehow pulled his whole income and future life of him and of the one he loves down...
how tragic...
but not a single soul knows of this matter...it is only between him and the people that he made business with...
and just three days before marriage...
he still hasn't came up with the courage to put off the wedding for he fear that she might leave him (but on the contrary...she might understand...who knows)...
instead he chose to actually cover up all the loss he had...
and with that in such a short time..
as he was strolling down the empty street thinking of what he's going to do...he suddenly saw a white figure right in front of him who was waiting at the bus stop...
and she was alone...
with her she wore this really huge pearl necklace...
judging by what he sees...
that pearl necklace is worth a couple of grands the least and with that he might fix things up a little...
he slowly naturally....paces towards her and...
SNAP!
pulled the necklace from her neck!
the lady screamed in pain and tries to pull him down with a few blows of her purse bag...
unfortunately for the girl...
with just one force as his reflex to push the person aside...she hit on the brick wall behind her and fainted...
"did i just kill her? oh no...i think she's still breathing...it's okay if i leave her i think..."
and off he went...
feeling a little awkward of what he has done...
he stopped and look at the crime that he had done on his hands...
those pearls are so valuable...so moneyworthy and somehow so familiar...
as he pay attention closely to the small locket attached to the string of pearls...
it says
"to my dear AMBER, love FLICK"...
tick-trick-tick-trick..
falls the string of pearls on the soulless damp ground...
these pearls are the ones that he exact ones that he proposed to MARIA AMBER...
THE maria amber...
the LOVE of his life!
OH MY GOD...
ashamed of what he did...the pearls are all left unattended...as he rushes to AMBER...
racing through his mind is definitely undefined...
he was confused, frustrated,irritated, and disgusted of what he did....
he would not even dare to say NO to hurt fear of she might be hurt, let alone hurting her with unimaginable violence as what he just did...
now in the pouring rain..she lay there...so tranquil like...not a sound...
"is she dead?"he questioned himself...
"did i just...no i didn't...did i? did i kill her?"
as his steps draws him closer to her...
he cannot bear anymore thoughts in his mind to utter a single word...
he kissed her faint pale lips...hoping that his true love's kiss would awaken her as how those that in fairytales did...
but she didn't...
she's DEAD...
he cried, and cried as how the sky is crying to...
the ambience was too sombre and in despair...
as if it was destiny, his heart suddenly stopped beating...
the pressure he felt was too much that he caused his own death...
well...
i suppose his heart wasn't even there anymore...
it followed amber back to heaven...
and now his soul is following her, too...
