One day, the girl's father decided to go abroad for a job. Before he went to the airport, the girl cried. She told her father that she didn't want him to go.
The father explained to her that he didn't have any other choice because it's his job. He promised her that he would be back as soon as his job's done. But the girl kept crying.
Then the father gave him a small made-from-glass ball.
He told the girl that the ball represents him. So that if she misses him, she could always reflects herself in the mirror-like ball, looking at her own face which shows a lot of similarities to her father's. And if she kept the ball good, her father promised her that he would be back faster.The girl nodded and agreed while her father went to the plane.
3 weeks after her father's departure, an unknown boy came across the girl's house. The boy looked around, and found the girl's playing all alone by herself in the backyard. She was playing with her prized glass ball, and it felt a little lonely for the boy to see her like that.
And so the boy came up to her, and asked her if they could play together. The girl happily agreed; then they played together until afternoon, the boy said goodbye and went to his house. They became good friends since then. They share their childhood memories together, and they share secrets to each other.
Until one day, the girl's family moved to a new house in another town. The boy was very sad since the girl had never told him about this, and so is the girl. They've parted from each other now. Then on the following day, the boy looked around the girl's old house again. He was just arrived at the backyard when he suddenly found a glistening glass ball on top of a rock. He remembered that the girl once told him that this ball was her precious ball, given by her own father, who's currently working abroad. He couldn't bring it back to her since she had already moved to her new house. Then he decided to keep it by himself, until he meet the girl once again and give it back to her.
7 years had passed.
The girl was currently attending her high school studies when a new student suddenly came up to her. A boy around her age, holding a bag - and he seems to be in a hurry, asking the way which will lead him to the principal's office. The girl find the new boy a little familiar to her, then she decided to kept her eye on him since then. Same thing happened to the boy as well. Seems like they've known each other for a long time, and both of their name share the same similarities to their old childhood friend. And it's true; they're good friends since they were child.
The boy took the girl to a quiet place on top of a hill. He showed to her that she can see a beautiful scenery, then he pointed to another town far from there; It was the old town where they once lived.
An old house seemed bulging from one side of the road, its backyard can be seen clearly from the place they're currently standing on.
The boy told her that that's the place where he found the girl's glass ball when she moved here. The girl was sure surprised about this. On the day she arrived on her new house she was so scared and afraid of losing her prized glass ball. She was afraid that her father wouldn't be back if he knows that she lost the ball.
And now that the boy had moved here, together with her glass ball, she was so happy, and she promised not to let both of them to be left behind again.
They lived happily together with their family on the town. The girl asked the boy to keep a little secret - that he would not let her father know about the once-had-been-lost glass ball. And he promised her not to tell it to anybody since then. -
