Love and Purpose

One quiet morning, a young beautiful fairy wokeup by an enchanting sound coming from below. She peeked through an small opening of the flower, where she was enclosed in, and curiously looked down. To her amazement, a human! A young handsome man leaning back on the tree, resting and whistling while fishing on the lake. It was her first time to see human. Fascinated, she flew down to see him.

From then on, eventhough it was forbidden for her to come out during the day, the young beautiful fairy sneaked out carefully, flew down, and waited for the young handsome man to come, avoiding the water afraid that human might see her through the reflection on the water, and also avoiding to touch the water for she will turn to human. Since he could not see her, she would fly around him, sit on his shoulder for hours and sometimes give him a kiss on the cheeks. Tears running down on her face everytime he leaves the place. She could not bear of not seeing him for a moments for she was falling in love with him.

For some unexplained reason, the similar things happened to the young man. Though he could not see her, he could sense her presence, and he was compel to go back to the same place again, and again underneath the mystical tree.

One day while the young fairy fell asleep on his shoulder, the young men got up and walked towards the water to see if he catch a fish. As he bent over, to his surprise, he saw her on his shoulder through the reflection on the water. With disbelief, he looked down again and once again he saw the same thing. Frighten, he tried to get up but instead fell on the water. As both of them fell, a magical events occured to her wings disappeared, and she turned just like him. A human! Astonished and bewildered, she was unsure what to do or say but for certain, with no any doubt, both of them found love on each other the very beginning.

As the young beautiful fairy completely gone, what was left at the edge of the lake was an old tree looking down on its reflection from the water each day. Hoping to get a glimpse of once a upon a time, time when everything was magical, but now it is just an abandoned old tree waiting to catch its last breath and prepare itself to its final destiny.
