In a blink of an eye

 

Five minutes left! Said the teacher but Samantha’s paper is still so clean until suddenly a strong wind blows from the window drifting her paper away. This scenario awakens her spirit she tries to catch her paper but unfortunately, it slowly falls into the ground, so weightless. She suddenly notices the wonderful scenery outside, the colors of nature and its garnish encloses its beauty. She quickly moves out from the classroom bringing her things.


She ran as fast as she could she grab her paper and go to that beautiful scenery. She accidentally hit someone because of her excitement. She finds a perfect spot to sit and witness the beauty of nature then, she gets her art materials and starts painting. She didn’t even notice that guy she bumps a while ago. That unidentified guy was taking a picture when Samantha suddenly bumps him and didn’t even apologize. So, he decided to follow Samantha. He notices that Samantha is up to something, that’s when he began taking stolen pictures of her with her artworks.


Starting that moment he used to follow Samantha wherever she goes. Taking pictures, of her and her artworks without letting her know. He’s the best stalker and spy the American agents could hire. His name is Michael an aspiring photographer. Until one time Michael placed a flower in Samantha’s locker. When Samantha opens it, she can’t help but smile because all she ever wanted is to receive a flower from a guy. That’s why most of her artworks are flowers. Michael makes sure he will not miss this moment; the moment of Samantha’s beautiful response of his flower for her. He makes sure he will capture this moment.


One day he gets the chance to talk to Samantha personally. When Samantha is up to her another artwork he suddenly covers her view and takes a picture of her capturing her reaction. Samantha asked him, “What are you doing? You’re blocking my view.”Michael just smiles giving his hand to Samantha. By the way, I’m sorry I’m Michael an aspiring photographer and you are? Samantha is so confused but she still does the handshaking and introduced herself too.


She told him that she’s an aspiring artist. So, they spend time talking to each other. They have deep conversations that day. Until Samantha mentioned about the meteor shower. So, they plan to go together tonight to witness the meteor shower as they went at the top of the mountain. They do stargazing first in the clear night sky. Samantha smiles in glee when he looks at Michael, Michael immediately takes a picture of her. Then Michael gets a piece of picture from his bag. Suddenly, the meteor shower begins. Michael calls the attention of Samantha now, Samantha’s attention is only in the meteor shower as she begins her painting. She didn’t notice that Michael was not around anymore but he left a picture in her bag. When Samantha’s done in her painting, she’d astounded when Michael is not around anymore she immediately packs her things then, she notices a picture. It was her in the picture with her beautiful smile when she received a flower from her locker. So, it was Michael after all. It was him who gave Samantha the flower she ever wanted to receive from a guy. It was her in the picture with a message at the back. It was written there: 


“The most beautiful moment I’ve ever captured; your smile. “
“Let’s make our dreams come true as we will see each other someday. If not us, then love will make a way. See you when I see you.”


When Samantha had read this, tears fall from her eyes and softly utter these words:


“If only I’ve seen your precious eyes that moment you’ve captured my smile. It will be the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever witness in my life. In a blink of an eye, you’re gone.”
