And so, Yoyo and Momo reached the middle of the forest. And Yoyo said, come lets depart from here and go our separate routes. Momo protested. She had enjoyed the company of her travel companion. Yoyo affirmed her, though we will be taking separate routes, if we fix our eyes on the star up there, we will reach the same place.
And so one year passed and the next. Momo enjoyed the walk through the forest and once in a while, when she ate a tasty wildberry, she thought in her heart, how nice it would be if I could share this with Yoyo. What kind of berries would he be eating on the other side? Is the scenery as beautiful? There was always the star up there to guide.
Surely, not all was smooth, and there were dark days of missing her travel companion. There were other days when she met other travel companions and it was enjoyable talking to them! Some days, Yoyo completed slipped off her mind! Those were the days when the Star shone so brightly, that she was mesmerized. :) Some days she wanted to shout into the forest, shout atop of the hill in search of her beloved. Yet, she did not because it may distract him from his journey.
Another year has passed. Would she meet him on the route again? If not, other travel companions? If not, the Star comforts still. Yoyo had said, remember, our ultimate destination is not to find each other, it is to find the Star. With that in mind, she braced herself again. Just last week, a lion chased after her while she ran gasping for breath in the dark. The forest appeared extremely dark, except for the still quiet presence of the Star. And it was extremely comforting. The light from the star wrapped the whole forest and shimmers of light reflected from the leaves.

Did you say your brain is frozen?? that's a really good n touching short story!
impressive.
*hugs*
hahaha
thanks dear! So encouraging! =)Writing story is a therapeutic process. Now I know why Jac writes so much. ;)
Anyway thanks for the song, I liked it!
Realli like the story which is very telling of your emotions.:)...(thinking of doing something similar too, haha) Not sure Jac's stories are so personal or explicit abt her hidden emotions? Thought more fictional?.. hee..
Didn't know it still affects u that much... I recently have that thought that the Star sees our deepest yearnings and pinings, and in time would give our heart's desires. Whether it will be Yoyo or Bobo or some1 else, we need not be too anxious but ready to give the heart again when he comes along.
Not sure if it makes sense to u...;)
thank God for you!
