Crave For Nirvana (One Shot)
I picked up a rock beside me and threw it as far as I could, but still hoping no human was harmed down there in the process. But it did feel good, though. Having to throw the weight on your body away. Releasing them with one big blow.
I looked at the city, which wasn't much, really. The hill we sat on wasn't even high enough for us to feel invincible. "What do you think all the people there are doing?" I asked out of nowhere.
He looked at me for a few seconds, his eyes digging into mine, and I admit that I could feel butterflies in my stomach that moment. "Probably thinking if this is a life worth living." He said, looking back at the city, which also meant that him looking into my eyes also came to an end.
"Is that what you're thinking right now?" I asked him, returning my gaze at the city as well. I felt like I could almost see the pedestrians walking around town, but I knew that it was just me and my imagination. Sometimes, my brain does that to me. Even though I can't see things, it's like it craved more. Like when I was clicking a remote, and my brain felt like seeing through it, watching the wires move inside as I press the button.
"Maybe." He said. He picked up a stone as well and threw it but he didn't give much force. It only landed a few meters away from us. "But I do crave for something more. Do you crave for something more?"
I crave for change, I thought. But instead I said, "I crave for invisibility. I want to be unseen even for a while. Where I can walk through the streets without anyone noticing me. It's hard when people don't know you as you but as the daughter of the Mayor." I honestly said. But when I thought of it, it was one of the changes I craved for. To not be a Mayor's daughter. "How about you?" I asked to be even.
He didn't say anything for awhile. Like he was deep in his thoughts, digging for the thing that he craved most. "I crave happiness." He finally said. "I want to be in a world where everything is at peace and people are always happy. No violence, no war, no hatred. Just happiness."
"Nirvana." I said, my eyes wandering around the sky. I could almost see the galaxy behind the clouds, but then again, it could've just been my brain and my imagination.
"What?" He asked.
"Huh? What?"
"What did you just say?"
"I said huh, what?"
He looked at me for a moment, probably wondering if I was messing with him. When I didn't say anything, he said, "Before that."
"Nirvana." I repeated.
He nodded. "What is it?"
What is Nirvana? In simpler things, it is happiness and peace. But for me, it was something I could never have. "The exact thing you crave for."
He nodded again in understanding. "Nirvana." He repeated. "I like it."
