In Heaven
Baby was playing with the horse while Cici stood nearby, watching them.
Cici's POV
Baby: "Wow… horsie, you are so cute!!" 😚 Baby said excitedly, hugging the horse.
I watched them, feeling a strange emotion creeping up inside me.
"Baby looks so happy with that new friend… am I a little jealous?" 🙄 I thought to myself.
The horse suddenly ran forward, then leaped into the air, spreading its wings as it soared gracefully above us.
Baby: "LOOK, Cici! He can walk AND fly!!" 😱 Baby exclaimed, eyes sparkling with excitement.
I forced a small smile.
"Cici, you can also fly… right?" 😒 I whispered to myself.
But the truth was—I couldn't.
My powers weren't working anymore.
😞
Baby: "Cici, say something… why are you so quiet? Look, we have another friend now!" 😟 Baby turned to me with concern.
Cici: "I'm fine." 😑 I muttered and turned away.
Baby: "No, you're not fine… tell me what you're thinking, Cici." 😟
Cici: "I said I'm fine, Baby." 😠 My voice came out sharper than I intended.
Baby: "Cici, you can tell me. We're friends, right?" 😧
Cici: "Go play with your new friend. Don't ask me anything." 😡
Baby: "Cici, what are you talking about?" 😲 Baby's face filled with confusion.
I clenched my fists, trying to hold back my emotions.
Cici: "That horse is better than me. Go to him—I'm useless anyway." 🥺
There was a brief silence.
Then, Baby suddenly gasped.
Baby: "C-Cici… your color!" ☁️
Cici: "What about my color?!" I snapped, still frustrated. "I told you—I'm useless! You can leave me alone like everyone else!" 🤬
Baby: "CICI, YOUR COLOR IS CHANGING… WOW!!!" 😱
I frowned and looked at myself.
My pure white glow was fading—slowly shifting into a soft blue.
Baby: "Cici, try doing some magic!" 😲
I hesitated but then closed my eyes.
Cici: "Umm… let's see…" 😖 I focused hard, trying to summon my lost powers.
Suddenly, Baby gasped again.
Baby: "WOW, CICI, LOOK! IT'S RAINING ON EARTH!!" 🌧️
I opened my eyes and looked down—it was true.
It was raining!
Cici: "BABY, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!!" 😱
Baby nodded excitedly.
Baby: "Yeah! You did it, Cici!" 🤗
The horse suddenly nudged us with its nose and pointed toward the earth with its wings.
We both turned our gaze downward.
The rain had washed away the dullness, revealing a breathtaking sight—a rainbow stretched across the sky, and the earth below was filled with colors! 🌈
Then, a warm voice spoke.
???: "So… you finally remember your magic now?" 😇
Baby and I turned around.
It was God.
He stood there, smiling at us.
Cici: "Yes, God! Look!" 😄 I lifted my hands, and instantly, the rain grew heavier.
God: "Yes, I can see that. But now, stop it before you flood the earth." 😇
I quickly nodded and willed the rain to stop.
Cici: "But… how is this possible? I tried so many times before, and my magic never worked. Why now?" 😮
God chuckled.
God: "Because you were sad… and you cried." 😇
Baby: "Yeah! You were crying, and then your color changed!" 😲
God nodded.
God: "Yes. You never cry, do you?" 🙄
I sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I get it… but what if I forget my magic again?" 😒
God smiled.
God: "You won't. But you still have to practice and learn how to control your emotions. That's the key to your powers." 😇
I nodded eagerly. "I can do that!" 😄
Baby: "And I'll help you!" 😉
The horse neighed and happily licked both of us. 🦄
Baby: "He says he wants to help too!" 😅
We all burst into laughter.
For the first time in a long time, I felt happy. ☺️
