STAY WITH ME

A New Beginning

28th APRIL 2019

It was a bright Sunday morning, me and my family moved in to a new house which is newly built near a golf park. It was quite big and exquisite, it has more than 3 bedrooms. I bet it can let more than 5 people live in it.

After we packed our things out from the moving truck, I went to the bathroom and had a good nice bath which makes me feel relax. Eversince my dad passed away, I felt sad and regret that I didn't had more time with him. Then mom said that we should move to a new place to stay so that we could start a new "life".

As I was thinking about it, I lie down on my bed. A new "life" huh... I never been living this far out though... I wonder if I can do it dad. I miss you.

"Shanon, come down for a sec pls." I bet that mom called me down from the living room to discuss about my new school. I hope I can get used to that school, maybe make some new friends.

"Shanon, tomorrow you'll be going to Catholic High School. Are you okay with it?" Mom look at me, worried.

"It's okay mom, don't worry about me. I'm always the one who adapts the situation, you know it right?" I smiled at her.

"I don't know Shanon. I mean, eversince your father is gone I don't know what I should do to care you and your brother. I'm so sorry to force both of you to move here." Mom's eyes start to watered.

"Mom, don't cry. We already agreed to that, it's alright mom. We got this."

Afternoon came, I went to the park for a jog. Trees sway along the breezy wind, like dancing through the musical wind. It makes me think about "Anne of The Green Gables", one of my favourite books.

I stop jogging, listening to the tree leaves rustling, birds chirping everywhere, river sounds nearby... Nature it is.

Suddenly I opened my eyes, did I just heard someone playing guitar? Although I'm not the kind of girl who learns music instruments, I'm kinda sensitive to the music itself and gets drawn into it.

I listen and walk as I heard loud guitar sounds playing. That person was playing acoustic, the music sounds... sad, but it feels like it keeps going on no matter how loud it is.

I hide myself between the bushes as I saw someone wearing a hoodie, sitting on a bench which I can hardly noticed through the park.

I wonder if that person knows himself/ herself playing the guitar quite loud (maybe not that loud but I bet people coming nearby can hear it). The guitar sounds kept getting louder that I think that person is playing "Alone" by Alan Walker.

"Rrrzzing!! Rring! Ring!" My phone suddenly rang that I jumped and took my phone out to quiet down. At that time I realise that person was looking at me in surprised.

"SORRY!" I was so nervous that I bow to that person and ran away quickly as soon as possible. Oh my god, why my phone had to rang at that moment?!! This is so embarrassing...
