“Look, a shooting star,” she said while excitedly pointing up towards the night sky. What was usually just a blanket of darkness was quite a spectacle on this particular day. The city lights had given way for a brief twinkle of magic. She closed her eyes for a moment, reveling in it.
“Making a wish?”
I couldn’t help but smile as she floated a little nod. There’s certainly nothing wrong with a little wishful thinking every now and then. Despite what the night’s pleasant surprise might have us believe though, nothing happens overnight. These things we wish for and want? These aren’t in the stars, and not for the stars to give. It’s for us to make things happen.
“It’s getting late, I have to get home na ata,” she remarked. I concurred and we slowly headed back to the car.
The things you earn, these are here to stay. They won’t be magically taken away from you at the stroke of midnight. There are no Cinderellas.
I clutched her hand tightly.
No, they won’t just go away.
