Joyful Bird

There is a bird flying. Her face is filled with happiness. Fly here, fly there. But one day, she stops from flying. There was a question that bothered her. "Why I am flying alone? Is no one wants to fly with me?", the joyful bird turns into a lonely bird. From then, she stopped to fly. The lonely bird waits for someone to fly with. "When will that someone came, to fly with me.", she waited too long. Until she saw a hopeful bird. A bird that filled with hope. "Are you flying alone too?", said the lonely bird. "Yes, do you want to join me?", the hopeful bird replied. The lonely bird turns again into a joyful bird. They fly together. They became comfortable to each other.

Until then, they always flew together. When night arrives, they stop to fly and rest. "Let's fly to the moon!", said the hopeful bird. "But h-how? There is no birds like us flying in night. Don't you remember, we are ordinary birds that fly in the day not in the night", said the joyful bird. "But we can, it will surely be fun". "But how?", said the joyful bird. "Just spread your wings, trust me! you are with me", said the hopeful bird. As they fly high, the joyful bird really admire the stars. "How colorful they are!", said the joyful bird. "See we can!", the hopeful bird replied. As they fly higher, they reach the moon. They both amaze how bright the moon is.

Then suddenly, they both confess they're feeling to each other. From then, every night they are still flying to see the stars especially the moon, which is the witness of their undying love. One day while the joyful bird is flying, she noticed that no one is around her. "Where are you?" said the joyful bird. She look for it too long, but the hopeful bird is gone. "Am I gonna lonely again?" she said while grieving. Because of sadness, she stop again to fly. But then, she remembers the day she met the hopeful bird. "The first time I saw you, I really attract on how you fly, you have a vibe that really caught me, you thought me how to fly again, you thought me the things that I didn't expect that I can do or I can experience. You made me realized that I can be more! Your memories will be the key for me to fly again". She starts to fly again, she slowly spread her wings and fly. Every move of her wings, causing her to think, the hopeful bird. From then, she is no longer a joyful bird but also a hopeful bird. Every night she always flies to the moon, as a sign of his love for the bird that gave her hope.

One night, a lonely night. The joyful bird is still mourning for her loneliness. She thought that everything was fine. She’s fond of what happen but can’t digest everything. She wept and wept all night staring at the moon, the moon, that was part of their sweet and tragic love story. But little did she know is that there is a bird on the other side of the tree that looks after her day by day, night after night. But she doesn’t notice him because he wasn’t around. Until one day, a joyful bird destroyed her wings. She couldn’t fly anymore, she thinks that she can go through it all by herself but she couldn’t pull through. Then suddenly a bird came, named faithful bird. She helps her to recover and watch her day and night not only in December. He helps her to fly again, soar her wings like an eagle. They don’t fly at night but at day when they could see the sky and the sun smiling at them telling how gorgeous they are and at night they hide in their trees telling stuff they wouldn’t know as if it’s the last. In the end, all she can have is that bird that can stay faithful to her not leaving her with lessons but with companionship.

But all about the faithful bird is on her imagination only. She made a picture on her mind, a happy moment where he met a faithful bird. "Is there a real faithful bird?", the joyful bird said. Since the day that hopeful bird left her, she always make a scenario where she finally met, a bird that will fly with her. Everyday joyful bird still hoping that someday she will meet maybe, the hopeful or the faithful one. But sometimes there is something that bothers her. It is what to choose between the hopeful and the faithful. She knew that faithful one will never leave him but still she can't quite think if it truly exist. That's why she stuck on the image of a hopeful bird. A hopeful bird that left her but gave her hope. She became contented and not to expect great things, for her to not hurt if it is just a fantasy to happen.
