It was a flawless luminous daythe sky is robin's egg blue and as far as the eye can see

there are no clouds. A gentle breeze stirs the deep jade leaves into a melody of gentle
rustling whispers. Tall grasses bend and fill the air with a dry scent that tickles the nose.
In a patch of grass grew a solitary orchid a signification of autumn's coming! the scene is
perfect for a day outdoors.
A body lies awake within a household of foura male young superficially handsome
with symmetrical features and well"formed body. #is aristocrat features are radiant and
his skin gently sun"kissed! with wide alluring lilac eyes. $aven hair like silk is wildly
sheathing his forehead.
The youth had been in the basement all evening long clearing out the grimy area when he
suddenly took notice of a rather large bo% in the corner full of old &ideos and '&'s and
a camcorder. '(rother's old porn tapes)' The teenager asked himself. *ith a thump he sat
in the center of the room pulling the bo% towards him. +,et's see what we have here-+
he thought and started rummaging through the bo%. *ith a small lamp for light he
carefully removed the lid of the old dusty package. *ithin the center of the bo% laid a
miniature piano"shaped music bo% decorated elegantly with golden patterns. Tiny
crimson jewels rotating the said item. #is hand brushed against the small object he
singled out a puzzled e%pression washing over the teenagers face.
+*hat's this)+ #is voice was low and smooth a hint of e%citement palpable. Time and
scorching humidity had caused this item to tarnish but it was a treasure just the same. #e
tilted his head slightly as he carelessly opened the music bo% and it slowly let out a soft
lullaby like a ghostly melody. #is memories ones that did not involve his current
lifestyle would come to him and remind him why he should press on.
...
The strange yet soothing tune echoed the house. A small boy with unkempt raven hair
popped into the room that held the source of the sound. There sat his adopted mother who
was sewing. /nce and awhile she would close her eyes resting her eyes from straining
for too long and listen to the peaceful sounds. The boy came up to her and snuggled on
her lap.
+0ama+ he mumbled+ what is this noise)+ #is mother chuckled softly before pointing
to the piano"shape music bo%.
+It's not noise sweetie. That's a music bo%. It plays a song to help you remember. 1ven
though the mind has forgotten the body will remember everything "in the melody of a
song+ his mother e%plained as she smiled lovingly at her son. +'o you see) 2o we'll
always be together in memories. +
+#ow can we always be together if everything must die+ he muttered. #is mother
chuckled. The little boy rested his head listening to his mother sing the song making a
sweet lullaby out of it. #e closed his eyes slowly falling to sleep.
...
A tear streaked down &ain's face. #e missed listening to his adopted mother sing that
song. #e was glad that she always sung it. It calmed him down knowing that the world
was not as bad as many depicted. (ut after a mysterious calamity occurred his family
vanished.. #is mother leaving &ain with her most precious treasure3 The music bo%. 2he
also told him something he could never forget before the event.
+Always remember that this world is wonderful no matter how unfair life can be.+ #e
felt somehow that his mother was watching him fulfilling his dream. And making others
enjoy what he had3 A wonderful world. #e looked up to the ceiling and smiled knowing
that his mother was always singing to him up there.
