“Oh heart watch where you fly…or else someday you will have to cry…
The heart smiles and whispers….every tear will be worth
Every pain will be worth…the one that I fly to the one that I cry for”

Valentine special
Tribute to ….. The one who is knocking at the window of my heart …because I told him …the door keys broken藍藍藍
After a moment of silence…Flora turned and smiled then she gazed outside….. ” If it had not been for Detopa , I wouldn’t have had the pleasure of knowing what it felt like to love and to be loved” she sighed and continued, this time Sameer kept absolutely silent and Nora sat still….her flutters came from the sudden breeze that carried beautiful memories….and Flora continued to move deeper in the lane of memories.
There was nothing more exciting than having a shell to fit into…oooops human called it glass body, something that many would die for…. I hugged detopa and kissed his eyes ” I can’t thank you enough” my eyes were filled with tears… His eyes were warm and full of gentle twinkles but the next thing he uttered …. Gave me goosebumps…
.” Flora my dear child, as much as you love this flesh on you, I must warn you with what comes along” he looked at me waiting for a reaction but I simply looked at him wanting him to go on. ” My child, flesh has many short comings, u will feel hungry, you will feel thirsty, you will have desires and one day someone will set you on fire…” He whispered… My eyes opened wider, “Detopa , I am not firewood, why would anyone want to set me on fire? Or is it the zero figure?” I asked . He smiled
” along with the body I see you got sense of humor as a bonus gift” the chuckle made me hug him tighter.
” As a tree, u got some as well ummmh?” I responded. “Listen to me carefully Flora, flesh is given to one for a purpose, and once the Divine purpose is achieved, you got to drop the flesh and go back home…it’s not always easy though, sometimes you can get trapped and that now is not a so nice feeling, to be where you don’t belong. “
he sighed, I felt lost but it was okay, I came to realize, whatever the purpose was going to be , it would find its way to me eventually, if i didn’t get to it first.
” Sometimes you will have to be selfless and give up your body before time, that also would lead you to get trapped until your time and purpose comes to pass….it won’t be an easy journey my child”..
he looked at me sadly, as if he could predict what would happen to me…. I was about to.ask him.something when he just shut off, there was a strange sound behind me and something tapped my shoulder, I let out aloud scream and slipped as I was trying to turn, I hit the ground with a spin….oops it wasn’t the ground exactly becoz under me was another figure, much larger than mine….” As much as I don’t mind you on top of me …please do you mind getting off,you have set my half on fire, I need to put it off…” A deep voice that melted my insides spoke … I couldn’t move , i couldn’t see the face, just the scent of fresh fragrance was already making me drowsy, I didn’t want to move, then he flipped me like I was a page in some story book, when I finally got to see his face……
” What happened” this time it was Nora who had come so close to my ears that her voice made me jump. “Nothing, I am tired” I said….Sameer groaned, Nora looked at me in despair….” You see now….and the other time u nagged me ” Sameer flew behind Nora and they started chasing each other like siblings …I simply smiled… feeling exhausted, I floated to the ceiling to take a nap
