• “When The True Eyes Awaken” (1)

    As I wake, I, in my everyday life saw nothing. (My name is Eliza short term for Elizabeth which means God’s promise) I’m already 12 years old has brown hair and as you can see, i’m blind. I believe I don’t know what God’s promise is. Is it Happiness? Love? or Charity? or simply, Hope to see.


    When I was young, I and my father and mother was involved in an accident, I was the only one that lived. Back then, I know that i have a beautiful and caring mother and a hardworking father,which i don’t know if i ever loved them or not (i am only a child back then). I gained a mark of that incident and that’s my lack of eyesight.

    They sent me here in this orphanage but no one seems to adopt me because i’m blind and weak in a certain way. knowing i have no more family left, I became more strong to defeat loneliness. I don’t know if i will ever achieve my ambition to have new parents.

    I woke up early today so that I can walk by myself (sometimes, i tend to do things on my own). Since the nurse is still not here, (I have a nurse of my own to take care of me because you know..)

    I’ll sneak out and tell her [I can walk by myself! quit your job, you big bully ^_^] but i think that’s a rude thing to say or maybe [Nurse! nurse! i can walk on my own! *with tears*] like drama marathons or something. No, let’s stick to.. [in your face!]. I’m thinking all this!

    I opened the door which i tried my hardest to find and heard my nurse talking to another nurse.
    “You know that kid?”
    “Yeah, that’s kid pitiful”

    When I heard what my nurse said, i thought [it’s me!! I’m blind, no parents, and no one wants me!]

    I ran towards a direction which i think is the way outside. But as i am running, I slipped…

    Then i heard a voice I think it’s a boy because it’s deep but got a warm feeling [judging by it, he’s around my age], then he pulled me up he’s hands was cold. I started throwing my anger at the world at him.

    “Why am I blind!? Why did my parents died!? I never did anything bad! I should’ve died!” i said

    The boy was silent or maybe he is in shock. I knew it! he’s pitying me too, he’s like the other people. I tried to stand, wipe my tears and started to walk away. [who is he anyway? Why am I telling him about my feelings!]

    I started to run, [Am I stupid!? crying to a person like that!]

    Then suddenly i felt him following me, I ran faster!! My fastest run! I’m a cheetah! >.<
    But, I bumped into a tree then fainted which is kinda uncool. -.-“

    When I think i woke up, and smelled the air wait i smell flowers. Did he brought me to a garden?

    ” Hey! Where are you!?” i called out
    ” I’m here and i have a name it’s—”
    “I don’t care of what’s your name, where’d you take me? you stranger!”
    ” I thought you couldn’t see, you couldn’t smell too? tough life.”
    ” I can smell, you idiot! you took me to a garden, right?”
    ” Oh, then can you see the flowers?”

    I thought [is he an idiot!?]
    “I already said i’m blind or are you deaf!?” I said in a loud voice
    “No, I asked it if you can see it with your mind” he said with a no reacting attitude
    “What?” I never really imagine anything.
    “You should imagine it”
    “How?”

    “Start with the color”

    “I said i’m blind the third time! the only thing i can imagine as a color is black! Geez!!”
    “If you can’t imagine the colors, your dream will imagine it for you”
    ” A dream? what’s that? how can it do that?” I never dreamt before so i am a bit curious.
    “Yes, for me it let me see what i can’t see”

    For a moment i thought he’s blind like me
    “Why? are you blind like me?”
    ”.. No, it’s just that I have.. sort of time limit.. I have a time limit on my life” he said with a really sad voice.
    I didn’t ask further or it may hurt him.

    “… Soooo, how can I dream” I asked to brighten the atmosphere”
    “Simply, sleep and believe on what you want to see!”

    I think he’s back to normal.
    “Will I dream of cats? I love cats?” I said with excitement
    “Yeah maybe?”
    “Can I dream of you, too?”
    “Yeah, maybe and maybe not. Just believe!” he said with a laugh

    “So why’d you run into here?”
    “What?”
    “I figured you ran into here cause your orphanage and my hospital are beside each other”
    “Where again?”
    ” My hospital, of course”
    “They why are you outside, too?” I asked.
    “Cause I want to ran away, Do you want to run away with me?”

    ”NO, When you are better and I regained my eyesight, we can run away together”
    Then I heard a sad sigh from him.

    Then I woke up again.
    But I didn’t remember I came back… hmmm

    “A dream?” No, it can’t be

    When I reached the door, I ran to the same direction but I bumped into someone, Guess who it is..
    My nurse!

    of course, she hurried me into my room.

    “What are you doing running around!? it’s dangerous!” the nurse sounds mad and needs explanation.

    “I have to meet a boy.”
    ” A boy? where from?”
    “Yes, he’s from the hospital beside this orphanage”
    The nurse paused then
    “How’d you know that? i never told you.” she asked with a suspicious voice

    [I knew it! that dream is true!]
    I quickly asked her if he knows a boy in that hospital
    “What? they’re tons of boys in that hospital and how can you be sure that he’s from that hospital?”
    “He told me.”
    “What’s the name?” ( she can’t ask me of his appearance)
    “I don’t know”
    “Well how will you meet him like that? and how did you met him?”

    Then a theory struck my mind
    “In a dream!”
    “… a dream?” she said with a laugh
    “No it’s true. I met him in my dream”

    “Okay, Okay, let’s take a bath first.. hmm.. you smell like flowers”

    She didn’t believe me at all.

    that night,

    the nurse tuck me in bed.

    “Sleep early now so you can meet that dream boy of yours!” she said with a giggle.

    I’m kinda irritated now. >:’[

    I hoped that when I sleep I’ll really meet him again and I know his true

    When I fell asleep,

    I woke up

    walking to some direction.. I felt the grass I am walking into and the cold breeze on my face which means I am outside and something’s guiding me to walk. I think I’m dreaming

    I suddenly saw images wait.. I can’t see how can that happen? I see a building it’s.. I think It’s the orpahanage And then, I walk to a path into the building the beside the first one.. it’s much bigger and I think It’s the hospital.

    there is many flowers I smelt each one.. they are so beautiful in the eyes (oops! i have no eyes!).

    hmm.. why is it suddenly dark? oh a shadow.. a person is behind me I turn around, i saw someone with beautiful hair and eyes.. she smiled at me.. she is so beautiful..

    I thought she was an angel trying to pull me to heaven.

    “Am I dead? because I can see and are you an angel?”

    “No, and I’m not an angel.” he said laughing.

    I kind of heard that voice before.

    “You! your that boy! I knew it! you are true!” I said happily.

    “Wait is this a dream too?”

    “Yeah, kinda. Sometimes when you dream, your soul walk. Even when you can’t see the real thing your soul see it. Our souls met here”

    “What?” I said with confusion.

    “Nevermind. You will not understand anyway.

    I ignored him and looked above I will not understand him anyway.”

    “What is that?” I said pointing above.

    “That’s the sky. It’s color blue”

    “blue huh? (now that I think about it his eyes is the same as that) it’s like your eyes”

    “Haha. maybe you’re one of the first one that can see my eyes”

    “Why is that?”

    “Because I always sleep”

    “So that’s why you always dream”

    Does he wake up then? I asked myself

    I looked at him and turned away.
