The Eve.

I scanned through the choices available behind the glass panel once more, just to make sure I it would be the right one. Blueberry cheese still look the most tempting, I thought to myself, after having spent the last 15 minutes being indecisive. I looked at her and beckoned that I’ve finally made up my mind, to which she returned with a smile. I left the shop with a package held firmly with both my hands, something I have never had in quite a while.

Onboard the train, all I could think of, was later; where it should be done, and how. I’ve always been a person who gets extremely worried easily, even over petty things; thus, forcing me to go ridiculously detailed on everything. And most of the time, it didn’t turn out the way I’ve planned it to be. I’ve realized it’s a total waste of time but I’m still at it.

I walked a silent journey home, surprisingly, as of norm the streets would be bustling with cars and buses, zooming back and forth. A quick peek at the watch; its half past ten, and I quicken my steps, not wanting to be immersed into the silence of the night, not wanting to miss the special hour. And I got home, to an empty house, more calm and quiet, compared to the journey home, just now.

I took a hot bath, and positioned myself on the bed, the package temporarily stored in the fridge. It’s not time yet, still too early, just a while longer. I stared out of the window, resting my face on the wooden pane. Seems like it has just started raining, and I stretched my hand out, feeling the rain drops one after another. I felt at peace.

Another look at the watch, fifteen minutes to twelve. I took the blueberry cheesecake out from the fridge, placed it carefully on the table. Placed the candles; another 5 minutes to go, so I lit them, two large ones and four smaller ones. At the stroke of midnight, I sang to myself, a birthday song, my voice echoed through the silence of the hall. I held my hands tight, closed my eyes and made a wish, one that only I will know, was once wished.

And I blew off the candles…

The above is just something I scribbled, it did not happen, I repeat, nothing as such happened. I actually wanted to do another ending, a funny one, but it kind of breaks the flow, which is actually the point of having these abrupt ending. Whatever...
