Chapter 24 : A winter without stars

" Mama, I"m leaving.": said Amy as she rush out for the school.

Finally she meet the morning where she didn't hear the sound of her mother sobbing . The song of the violence come to its own domain inside the vacuum. Those lovely hand, face and body without a bruise. The feel of high grudges bloom into spring. A normal day starting seeing her mother smiling, cooking for her, who shout up for late wake. The energise overflow from the love strong will.

Sometime having just one is enough. What is the point of having much to the point when its useless?.

School.

The trio meet up waiting for Dilbung. Amy also learn about the situation happening but Dilbung fail to show up.

The heart gets calm, memories become warm eyes start sprinkling when something is missing, someone scratches your nerves, make you walk without a talk, gets you in an ocean. Ocean of memories where you can either be in or be out from it, true happiness, or sadness comes from deep part. When it starts truely miss someone.

Angus " I feel the end is drawing near, would time to be so kind to slow?. You are everything to me, my dear, you are all I really know. But as I sit and wait and fear and watch the hours go----- Everything that happened here, happened long ago."

Andie " Just watching the clock tick, as the seconds pass with each click and time is the enemy I loath it to be, waiting the time to pass is not easy to see. So, I try to keep myself busy at a pace that would usually by dizzy. But I know that it will be so slow. Especially when waiting time to go."

Amy " Time does not heal and you may never be the same. But each day that passes means you're surviving despite the pain".

The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough. Time is wealth of change but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. And it went off for 15 days. And it went off for a month. Now its already another month and its already a months. Finally they even graduate with their highschool study.

A frozen heart but one place open for one person. A warmth feeling when memory eat up. Enough busy schedule where it still fail to over the long lost feeling and regret.

A summer with her, a spring without her, still a winter without her. But her smell, those wavy black hair shinny under the summer sunlight, those cute face with less expression yet a mysterious and beautiful eyes that speak much more, a beautiful smile yet painful. How can a beautiful sound that already linger within the heart can be erase?. And how she disappear like a thin air which breeze for a moment and left without a sign. Am I that a jerk to the point that she left without telling me the reason?

Christmas.

" Its already winter, if she is here with us, will she still smile with us?. I wonder how she is doing this winter. Did she go out? Did she find someone who can make her smile?.": said Andie as she remember Shine Dilbung under those christmas light.

" You brat! Don't ever think. I believed she is happy somewhere, with someone. She is not the fault, she might have a reason for the disappear. So, be strong Andie.": said Amy as she hug Andie who is about to cry in a zero second.

While Angus lay at his bed, missing his stars. He wonder about the stars he give it to her to make it shine along with those wavy black hair. Remembering the time, how she smile when he give her those sunflower and how she adore the hairclip that he give it to her design with stars.

It's already a years, finally Andie and Amy find a job as a bank accountancies. While Angus become a art teacher.

The once beauty Andie still remains with her beauty, calmness, bold and strong. Amy being cheerful and always be their for Andie. Angus being a warmth guy ever, many have fallen for him, with those golden eyes, soft blonde hair, finally his smile with a core.

But every of them miss Shine Dilbung. They can't find the clue. Neither about Elias and aunt Tete. Another summer without her again. Her existence within those short moment in summer drive them crazy. But what gonna do. Time can't be stop nor be please, keep on going but the missing pieces keep on missing.
