A Little Incident with a Time Turner

I was sitting in front of an endlessly flowing river and beneath the calming blue sky and thinking of some things in my mind. I'm bothered of all this happenings and why my fate has come to it's new regime. Suddenly, I come up to a very ridiculous idea. I pictured myself wearing a time turner on my neck and twisting the crown and suddenly everything went very odd. I saw it changing and feels like I'm traveling back in time ( Actually, I am ). Then, it stopped. I found myself standing on a school grounds and I recognized it as soon as I've seen it. It's my school. Then, I saw girls and boys having fun around me. I saw my classmates, far from me. They are playing a game, I don't know what it is called, but it had plastic cups and they're supposed to form it like pyramid or whatsoever. I found myself standing in front of fourth and third years student. They are playing "Patintero." I don't understand, it feels strange. I knew it happened before. But why? why the hell?

Then I saw someone passed by. He was small, fair-skinned, small-eyed and a handsome man. I heard my heart beat. I knew who he was. But "why?" I asked myself again. Why did the time turner let me back through this time? Is it for a purpose?

Then I let myself think. For the first time, I made my mind work. Oh! it was so deep. Suddenly, I stood up.

I knew it. Time turner don't want me to feel any regret. Regret I had felt recently. Maybe it wants me to make a move. Make a swift move. If only I made my mind do all the work.. to decide. If only I closed my heart that day. If only I've realized that we are not meant to each other. If only I never loved him.

"What should I do?" I've realized that there's nothing more I can do. Except for one thing, an idea that made up my mind. I should stop. . . believing that one day I'll be happy. . . happy as I always feel when I dreamed about him. I take few steps and found myself standing in front of me. Then I stopped my time turner. Everything was petrified. I looked straight to his eyes and uttered words from my mouth, " Be happy." Then the crown twisted all by itself. I went back in front of the endlessly flowing river with calming blue sky when I look up. I can't believe that I finally talked to him, face to face. And wished a wish I ever dreamed of.

Now I look forward to life and choose not to look back. That little incident was enough for me to show how fool I am. But then, I've learned something. . . learned to let go of someone whom I truly loved. . . that now I've realized that I am strong enough. . . strong enough to win against life.
