Wishing Well

After her breakup, Vanessa decided to go on vacation to three places. They were places laced with nature’s beauty and intricate architectural designs. She needed a place to exhale, meditate and commune with nature.

“Are you sure of what you’re about to do? Leave your job for three months?”
“Yes, I am.”

“You might go broke.”
“I don’t mind. I just need an air of relief. See me inside out.”
“Well. It’s OK.”

She had a swell time at her first place of visit. She met new people. She tried different cuisines and delicacies. She learned a new language. She visited notable sites.

It was an entirely different experience in the second place. It was like going through the door into a new world. The features were breathtaking. The architectural designs were magnificent. She had time to meditate. She visited the age-long well called the ‘wishing well’. She was asked to throw in a coin and make a wish. She took a deep breath as she made the wish.

“Lord, I don’t know why it couldn’t work out for both of us. I just needed to leave. Please, help me. I know James is deeply hurt. I wish he would find love in someone else’s arms.”

As the coin fell into the well, tears streamed down her face. She was offered the anthurium flowers at her third place of visit. She knew happiness had come her way.
