It started when she fell in love with the most beautiful flower, right there, growing from the ground. It had a fine color to it, it was her favorite color, it was RED. The flower had torn, so that girl decided on just letting it grow without plucking the flower from it roots, because she knows if she plucks it will only make her bleed.
Then she decided, she will come to visit the flower every damn day just to say hello and pour water and make sure it gets enough sunlight to grow.
That very day, after deciding what she is going to do, she walked back home. Loaded with happiness, she then told her family about the flower. With all the excitement and the way she described about the flower, everybody begun to have curiosity and they wanted to have a look at the flower, she agree to it and brought them to the place where the flower is located.
Her mom, when she saw, she said "Girlie, this flower isn't the most beautiful, it is just an ordinary flower". Her sister then looked at her mom and gave a satirical laughter and said "Dummy, this is ugly, I've got better ones growing in my garden". Her brothers saw them too, the eldest told her "it is beautiful and im glad you found it" while the second brother of hers said "it's nothing but a waste of time".
Everybody walked away, not knowing that their comment has only broke this girl's heart but she did not give up, she told herself that she will take good care of it and feed it with enough vitamins to grow beautifully and she will show to her family that she did fine the MOST BEAUTIFUL flower.
Everyday she looked at the empty sky waiting for sunrise, everyday she wished no one would steal her flower or animals to destroy it. There is no day she neglected the flower, there were no day she never thought about the flower, she made the flower apart of her. She placed the flower[image] right in the center of her heart.
One day, as she stood up from her bed and walk towards her door, she heard her few voices talking about the flower that she found. She got so startled but she didn't want them to know that she was listening to their conversation, she then tip toed nearer to the stairway and she heard someone who sounded very much like her mom saying "she found an ugly flower and she is wasting her time on it, we should do something to destroy it or at least her interest". She was brokenhearted to hear that from her own mom, who doesn't really care about the daughter's happiness but instead wants to know how to divert her into something she never was and will be interested in.
Not knowing that this only will danger her, she thought everybody has forgotten about the flower and she when on visiting the flower. It has grew beautiful, the red has become darker and with light pink at the edge of the petals, thorns were still there but she was no longer scared, because she thought it would never hurt her only because she has poured not only care but love towards the flower.
One night after seeing the flower, she walked home and noticed no one was home, she when up her room, took a hot shower and lay her head on the pillow. And she dozed off, the next morning when she when downstairs to have her breakfast she asked her mom where did everybody when, leaving her behind. And her mother touched her face and said "Girlie, we when to the town to get some grocery you weren't home yet and it was getting late so we left". Not knowing it was a lie, the girl had her breakfast and walked towards the house door and unlocked it and told her mom that she was leaving to do the usual. When she reached where the flower was, she noticed that it was no longer there, it was not anywhere closer to the place she was. She tried tracking for any animal footprint but there was none, the she saw some footprint of human.. More precisely, footprint of a lady...
Right away, she ran home, angrily! Banged through the door and screamed at the top of her lungs with tears rolling down her cheek asking her mom what happened to the floor. She screamed and yelled, she begged and cried, she did all she could but her mom denied her and claimed that it must have been done by someone else. That girl, with all the sadness, she ran up her room, not knowing what to do, she has never fell this much sadness drenched at one go. She even thought of running away from home, she thought of slitting her wrist, she thought of so many things. Finally she made her decision to know who was evil enough to destroy what she loved. Middle of the night, she walked to the kitchen to drink milk, as she stand against the window gazing at the starry sky, she saw that same exact red flower, in the trash bin. Tears were already pouring, she when out to pick the flower and that's when the torn pricked her causing her fingers to bleed, which only meant one thing to her. The flower that she took care has begun to think that, she is also a threat to the flower.
It only made her devastated and she walked away.
Knowing this was done by whom, knowing that people are selfish. She when on in life, still thinking of the flower. Still watering the flower, only different now is that she waters it with her tear. The flower now remains in her heart.
Everyday, she wishes what people has done to her was just a dream. Everyday she seeks for her happiness which is the floor but it's no where. Everyday, she tells herself she'll get over it, but it never happened. She when on in life, thinking only about the flower and nothing.
She misses the Red Flower though it hurt her, because she knew the flower only tried protecting itself.
I miss you.
