Interlude

He woke up to a sound like the soft chirping of birds, the pitter-patter of the sensuous rain on the windowsill, the rustling of yellowed leaves on a beautiful spring morning. He got up, and as he entered the living room, his soft smile became a huge grin.

She was sitting by a black instrument, coaxing an impossibly soothing melody from it. She seemed lost as her fingers flew over the keys like swallows darting in a pond. She looked up and smiled at him, making his heart warm all over.

He sat down beside her as the soothing melody became a playful symphony that carried their laughter. Soon, a man joined them, taking her away, as they danced to the warm and colorful tones of the piano. It was a warm and joyful spring morning for all of them, with the sound of joyous music emanating from the black instrument.

That was until the fateful incident that changed his life forever. A car accident made him lose his source of happiness and separated him from all the familiarity of his world. And for three years, he became a wandering soul, searching for something he had lost. He is like a lamb whose quest is to search for a way back home.

But God, who is merciful, had led the wandering lamb back to his home. And what he needs to do is to put the pieces back into place. It was a shame, though, that he chose to rebel against the world, hiding away his memories in the deepest part of his heart.

When God saw what he did, he decided to take matters into his hands. He made the two souls meet again. The first time, during her performance, making him realize a life lesson. The other is through someone he held dear.

Will he finally choose to let the time flow to his world once more?
