the magic stone

Aria was walking alone in the woods one evening when she stumbled upon it. it was the prettiest thing she has ever laid eyes on and it looked interesting placed underneath the shed of a big wild mushroom. it was as if somebody purposely laid it down there so it wouldn't get wet. its surface was a bit rough but she knew with much effort she could make it shine beautifully. hurriedly she picked it up, put it safely in her left pocket and ran back home.

now Aria is a lonely girl. she doesn't have anybody to talk to. but this does not mean that she has no friends and family. it is just that she knows that they don't understand her. usually she would pretend to be somebody that the rest of the world expect her to be. but sometimes it could be tiring and she just needs somebody who she can just be herself. so since she found the stone she has been pouring her heart out but of course the stone remained silent. and every night before she goes to sleep she would kiss the stone and placed it under her pillow.

ever since Aria found the stone her days are happier. as if most of her burden has been lifted. strangely at night she feels like the stone would communicate with her in her dreams and she would then decipher them the next morning. she feels strongly for the stone and yet she doesn't know whether this situation could go on forever.

Aria gets confused either to shine the stone to make it look prettier or to leave it be. she is afraid that after so much effort put on it that one day she would lose it just like any other stuffs that she had once owned. she wished she could throw it out at the nearest lake just to see how far it would go so that she could prepare herself when she loses it but alas she couldn't. so for the time being she is just enjoying the moment.

Aria is happy now but she doesn't know until when and she couldn't help but wonder.
