Yuki is a simple girl who came from certain village. She was not gorgeous. Nothing about her is extraordinary. Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd. 

She grew up in a poor family. They were six and being the eldest, she learned to be responsible at an early age. As she grew stronger and brighter, she helped to cheer the people around her. Though she was not so good-looking, but she made others feel better.

One morning while she was walking, she met a boy rebel who thinks he is a man. Right then She became interesting to him, so she befriends him and teaches him how to act right. They became good friends and she fell in love with her rugged and handsome student. However, her student finds himself in love with another girl. Yuki found this out while she was teaching him. The boy talked about this girl. He said that this girl was beautiful and had deep black eyes and fine curly hair. According to him it seemed as if she had a halo around her head like a beautiful angel from heaven. Upon hearing this, she swallowed a lump in her throat. She was hurt for not becoming beautiful. She thought that if she would have not been so ugly then she might be able to complete what her love was looking for. But she did not care to let him know her thoughts even her feelings. What she cared for was as long as he is happy, then she will be happy as well.

Another day came and the boy asked her to help him write the most beautiful letters to his ‘angel’. She was so hurt inside while hearing those favor yet she smiled and accept her love's request. As she was writing the letters, she imagined herself receiving those very touching letters. Right then, they have delivered the letter to his love's house.

Few days later, the girl who he loves so much responded to his letter and she agreed to meet him for a date. While they read what was written her heart wanted to burst yet she felt happy very happy with combination of pain and sadness. Afterward, she also helped him to choose the right clothes, he will be using on their date. They also bought the most gifts for his beloved angel residing inside his heart.

The day, the most awaited day came. He was so happy then; she brought happiness to him however Yuki was much in pain and sadness. Many days and months passed him and his love enjoying the magic of love. Yuki was contented of seeing them happy though it hurts her heart so much.

Then one day, she left him with no reason. It's just she chose another man who was rich and more handsome man. The boy was bewildered. He was so hurt it was his first heartbroken. Yuki found out what happen. She was quite happy about what happen, she rushed to him. When he saw her, he cried on her shoulders. Yuki cried with him. She shared with his pain; she tried to reduce the burden and sadness.

Time went by and the wounds also healed. The moment came; the boy finally realized something about his friend Yuki. Something he never realized before. He realized how blissful her laughter sounded and how her smiles brightened up his darkest days. He also realized how beautiful she was inside her heart. He felt sorry for not appreciating her for long time. Then He began to fall in love with Yuki.

One day, he picked up all his courage to see her. He walked to her house feeling nervous all the way. He ran many thoughts over and over his head. He thought that he should tell her how beautiful she was to him. He was going to tell her how delightfully in love he was with her. He arrived to Yuki's house. He was standing in front of the door. He knocked many times yet nobody was home. The next day, he found out that the beautiful girl he just fell in love with had move out to next village. He felt so sorry and angry with himself. He thought he will never see her again. He run and rushed to the next village. He knocked diligently to each doors in the village, and asking for Yuki. The day finally breaks and the night came. The stars watched him as he knocked to the last door in the village. He prayed deeply before he knocked. He knocked and he knocked, he heard a voice then his heart was bursting to joy because he knew it was her heavenly voice. As the door open his eyes was teary. He finally saw her, he hugged Yuki tightly. Yuki was happy yet confused. He finally cried out loud his love for her. He held her hand and stroked her hair as he look at beautiful girl. He said how beautiful she. Yuki can't believe it, she can't believe of hearing those words from him. Yuki accepted his love and confess her love for him. They were so happy. They spend many springs, winters and summers together…. together sharing love and happiness.

The Mighty Fireflies

            On a very beautiful forest of Takiban where many big trees, different kinds of flowers, birds, mushrooms, wild grass and many organisms live and grow, there was a small colony of Fireflies who enjoy life and live peacefully.

            Every night the fireflies will sing, dance, and enjoy the whole night with different activities which usually Tap-tap and his friend Iput lead. This became as the traditional practice of young fireflies to improve their body and shine brightly. When the young fireflies got tired of playing, Ali mother of Tap-tap will tell a story until they fall asleep.

            Another day came and in the middle of the big branches where tap-tap and iput play they have remembered the story of Ali which was about the different animals and beautiful world outside their home. Tap-tap became enthusiastic to see what his mother has told to them. Even Iput would like to experience the life beyond this big trees that serve as their habitat.

            Many nights have passed and the longing of two young fireflies were triggered as they imagine what would be the life out there. Until, Tap-tap decided to woke Iput and they decided to escape. Iput was confused about tap-tap's decision. However, he still chose to accompany his buddy and unleash their curiosity about the outer world.  They successfully passed through the big branches of the trees. They fly harder and faster as they could to get away without noticing the elders. As they get tired of flipping their wings they spent morning on the thin branch of tree.

            Meanwhile, Ali and Tupi were looking for Tap-tap even iput's grandfather was worried about them.

            In the middle of the day, the dragonfly has seen two unique flies. He went to it and he was surprise to see it. Suddenly Iput broke his good sleep and saw the dragonfly. Iput was afraid of seeing it so he tried to wake tap-tap.  When tap-tap came into his senses he was astonished to see dragonfly. Iput and dragonfly were curious about his reaction, abruptly tap-tap introduce himself to the dragonfly immediately. Right then tap-tap and iput gain a kind unusual friend.  They continue their journey with dragonfly.

            The darkness started to envelop the forest and the stars formed their respective position.  Dragonfly was sleeping and the two was still awake and letting their body to light brightly. Suddenly, strange sound was heard and the branches of the tamarind tree move from left to right like somebody is holding and shaking it brutally until they got dizzy but they flew away from it. They scared of what they have seen. Dragonfly said that it was the monkey and with tremble he flew away and left them behind. Iput and Tap-tap did not understand dragonfly so Iput bravely face the monkey while tap-tap tried to stop him.  The clever monkey did not hurt the two instead he decided to be friends. However, the monkey planned to give them to Goya the Gorilla, in exchange of bananas.

            The journey of the three continues. Tap-tap and iput were happy to be with the monkey without knowing of bad thing will happen to them with hand of monkey. Days later, they finally arrived to the Banana Land where Goya the Gorilla lives. Tap-tap was having some feeling that something was wrong but he suddenly erased it when he saw the big fruits of banana tree. They were astonished with the place. As the two enjoy the place, monkey buy the time to trade off with the Goya. Many hours later, the monkey was gone. They were left to goya's. The two fireflies started to tremble as Goya approach them. They flew away but the hands of Goya were too long for them to escape. Tap-tap luckily flew away and managed to escape. Unfortunately Iput was left behind.  Tap-tap was so scared that moment.  He stopped for a while to let his nervousness gone but his heart beat so fast the light in his body shivered. Suddenly, he remembered the story of her mother about the giant and the mighty firefly. When he already knew what to do he flew courageously to fight Goya.  He waited until the day ends. When the darkness surrounded the place he suddenly attacked and flew to the nose of Goya. He tried to release so much light in his body, brighter than the stars could. Goya got annoyed. When he is about to slap his nose with all his force, Tap-tap flew away. Goya was hurt by his self and got dizzy. Iput has seen how brave his friend was. Tap-tap helped him. Finally they run away from the banana land.

            They looked for a safer place to rest. They have realized that the outer world was not just about kind or good things, beautiful stuffs and happiness. Tap- tap and Iput at last understand their parents, grandfather and elders. They decided to go back home and continue their journey when the time come and they are already ready to face the outer world.

Give a Smile

Give a smile, in a world of sadness

Don’t be sad, everything will be alright

Shed a tear, but smile afterward

This is a heart fully saying now

Agony and pain are within you

Smile, as it passes through your smile

Don't get hurt with this lonesome time

Try to enlighten everything with a smile

Life is full of hardships, weary and soreness

Somehow let your smile be the point of endurance

 Give a smile, as strength within endlessly refueling

Give a smile for endless happiness behind a world of sadness
