Chapter 1
16 July 2010
I could feel the warmth spreading through my skin as the golden rays of the sun landed on my hand. It was an extremely delightful day - a perfect day for you and me. I knew that this day would come, a day where we could be together forever. I took so much trouble to have this day together with you... I have undergone all these trials and hardships just to meet you, ... Anna.
Do you still remember how we first met? Do you remember how your precious tears crawled over your pale cheeks? Do you still remember all those precious moments? And... do you remember how you died?
You may have forgotten who I am, but that is of no importance. My identity is of no value, and it shall remain hidden till the days of my death. I can only tell you this: I am a friend of yours, Anna. You are like the moon, while I am the sun. We are not destined to be together, yet I cannot live without you and so do you.
My words are growing in length and they seem to tire you. I will let you rest, my dear Anna, and I will stop this rantings of mine. However, I assure you, we will meet again soon - very soon.

"Hurry, hurry! Little Tom is running away!"
"Wait for me! Why can you run so quickly? Can't you see that I'm worn out?" the little girl said as she shook the dust from her white skirt.
"Humph, you're wasting our time. How could our team ever win if you keep on make us lag behind?" the boy grumbled as he glared at her.
"Well, sorry..." the other apologised.
