Star

*** I wrote this short story during the time that I feel I'm a little crazy about something... when I thought what I was feeling is not normal anymore... when I decided that it's time for me to let go and forget him... but you see, everytime his face came across the screen, the feeling starts to surface again...***

The snow effect on the screen came into halt as the channels changed. His image came into the screen, as he smiled. The camera drew closer to his boyish face, and in an instance, the world seemed to stop to watch his every move. She went in front of the TV screen. She never took her eyes off her, or even blinked. Just like every girl who have seen him in the small screen, she love him. Not the kind of love of a fan to their idol, but a kind of love that's real... It's a love that made her whole and at the same time tearing her apart.

She reached out for his face on the screen, and touched his pixelated cheek. If only she could hold him for real... If only she could stay beside him for just a moment, and make him feel how much she loved him... but everything is just a wishful thinking. She knows she will never have that chance. She is just an ordinary girl who can look up in the sky to adore a shining star like him, and she know she have to stop this madness before it could break her.

She closed her eyes and tried to erase his face in her memory, but even with her eyes closed, his image seemed to haunt her. A silent tear fell on her cheek as she turned the TV off. She have decided to let go of this shining star, for loving him made her feel the most painful thing in the world. As she shut the TV off, she will be shutting him in her life forever...
