"Of coincidences and searching"

18:27

I hurriedly ran to the places where I came earlier, hoping that I could find 'that thing'.

18:32

It's no use. I couldn't find 'it' even if I want to.

18:53

I want to give up. But no, I won't!

19:36

More than an hour passed but still no sign of that thing. I'm doomed.

19:41

I'm in the verge of crying but I can't.

20:00

I'm now sitting in one of the park's bench. I couldn't find it. I lost that locket; the only memory that binds me to 'that person'.

20:11

I stopped crying a while ago. Crying will not help me at all. I picked up a stone and threw it in the air to minimize my frustration. Luck seems to hate me because that stone landed on someone's head. Apparently, that spot where the stone had hit was bleeding. Oh my! I ran to him to offer my handkerchief and to tend his wounds.

20:21

At last, the bleeding stopped. He started to talk.

"You did this." he said, pointing to his head, more like a statement than a question.

"I'm sorry." I admitted.

20:25

After that 'I'm sorry' part, silence engulfed us.

"The thing that a person lost isn't coming back." I muttered out of the blue.

He turned to me with a curious look of his.

"Glad that you know it." He stated not bothering to ask why.

He started to stand as he returned my handkerchief and walk away, saying;

"A thing was being lost for a reason, probably to replace it with a better one."

20:31

I was taken aback with what he said. I looked to my handkerchief and noticed the weight of it. I opened the crumpled handkerchief and to my surprise, I saw my locket but the key attached to it was gone.

20:37

I smiled to myself, "I think it is really true, but every locked thing needs a key to open it up."

*and the rest is history*
