Chap 2 =P

Continuing from where i stopped.

He treasured the flower he had like his own baby, his puppy, his life. He waters it everyday and provides sufficient light for it. It was a rose. A rose as white as pearl. It has no thorns, but leaves which glitter upon hitting the moonlight. The rose in the pot stood straight and never wilt. It shined brightly from one corner of the room lighting up the entire room in the dawn of morning. It was in a shell, protect from it's owner. Zen was delighted to have such a beautiful and loving flower. He always spend time taking care of it even though there was a important event coming up.

As for Erin, she was still worried for Zen even though she rejected him. Zen didn't turn up for classes after she given him the flower. When the nightfall came, she went to his house and decided to see whether he was alright or not. Upon her surprise, Zen was with the flower the whole time. She was shocked and asked Zen why he didn't go to class. He didn't reply the answer and continue pampering the flower. Trying to help Zen, Erin tried to ask him out for a cup of tea. To have a little chat. He said 'NO' in an angry tone. Erin moved back and looked away. She was disappointed with how he treated her. She went out of the door furiously slamming it. Walking away pretending she never talked to him.

He looked back out of the window. Seeing her walking away. He smiled and looked at the flower. 'Now we are together', he whispered to the flower. 'FOREVER'!!

The following day, it was a sunny day. Zen stayed at home like he did the last time. Not going to class. He ignored his friend's advice on going to class. They were worried that he will be failing the coming test which might decide his future. He kept on pampering the flower and giving a blind eye towards whats happening to the world around him. The flower still stood still and shining brightly which makes him happy and hope. He looked at it with great passion and smiled to himself every once in awhile.

~~~~~~after a few hours~~~~~~

He went to the toilet. He couldn't leave the sight of the flower but he was forced to as he was about to explode. He thought that leaving the flower for a few minutes would be alright but he was wrong. Something terrible happened. It was a....... =P
