Stuck in a small forgotten magical hamlet called Agulu. There thrived a world where the clouds shone with stunning beautiful colours. Each silent breath had a whisper of magic, generally everything in Agulu tells of magic. From Its cobblestone streets l, the murmured stories of long-forgotten dreams and hidden desires thrived.
Agulu, a small town nestled among rolling hills and meandering streams, was a place where the extraordinary met the ordinary everyday. It was like an open affair between the mystical and the humans.
Adanna, a young vibrant woman with the eyes of a dying fire and a heart full of unfulfilled desires and unspoken wishes, dwelt in the heart of Agulu. She had this rare gift, a little bit intricately carved love shaped crystal button that had been passed down from her lineage through centuries. It was believed that if you made a wish on this magical button and released it into the sky, the universe would conspire and grant your wish.
Adanna was a lone soul. She had lost everything that mattered in life to her. Her parents, siblings and even her best friend.
She lived a lonely and boring life. Reasons why her days were filled with wistful gazes at the sky, as she pondered the dearest wish she held close to her heart.
Everyday and on every occasion, she would clutch tightly to the button in her hand, rubbing her fingertips against its smooth surface. Holding back on the one thing she so desired, her hunger for her wishes to take flight with the button and paint the sky with its vibrant colors.
One fateful evening, as sunset cast a golden hue upon the magical town, as the rains poured down heavily on the earth. As the fangs of loneliness held its bite deep within her soul. Adanna made her way to the highest hill in Agulu. The heavy droplets flogged upon her skin and the gentle breeze caressed her cheeks, the clouds let out mumbled with thunder.
Like a lone soldier on a mission, she held the button, trembling with anticipation. At the top of the hill she knelt before the clouds, closed her eyes and In the silence of the evening, she called out her most cherished wish into the open air.
"Let true love find its way to me"
With that he released her tightened fist and released the button, watching it float higher and higher, disappearing into the boundless heavens. Adanna's heart swelled with hope, believing that her wish had been carried away on the wings of destiny.
But it felt like forever, as the days gradually turned into weeks, and weeks into months, yet Adanna's only wish of being loved remained elusive. Gently, the doubt began to creep into her once radiant spirit. She questioned the very power of the button, she wondered if she had wished right or if her wish had simply floated and disappeared into the evening mist.
One fateful day, Adanna was on her way back from the farm. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the day's chores and the unsatisfying loneliness that awaits her at home. She walked along the dusty path sluggishly, her basket full of bounty harvest and her heart filled with emptiness. Little did she know that fate has plans to intervene in the form of a fortuitous collision.
A young man named Aku was also on that same path, lost in thought and in his own world too. Hee failed to notice Adanna approaching until their bodies collided against each other, causing her basket to tumble to the ground, letting out its contents.
"I'm so so sorry!. I didn't see you coming" Adanna exclaimed, her cheeks turning crimson. She quickly bent down to pick up her scattered harvest. Aku, too, was flustered as he knelt immediately to help her, and there it happened, their eyes locked. And It was as if time had momentarily stopped. They start of something beautiful, Adanna's wish.
Adanna and Aku exchanged a few words, their laughter blended harmoniously with the silence of the evening and the rustling of leaves in the breeze. With conversations flowing effortlessly, as if they had known each other for years.
And with that, a journey that began from a simple bump on a dusty path, deepened with every breaking of a new day. They spent more quality time together exploring the countryside, sharing their secrets, interests, dreams, and ambitions. Their love story bloomed against the backdrop of rose fields and starry night skies.
Years went by, and their love stood the test of time. They decided to make it forever, they got married surrounded by fields of beautiful blooming flowers, promising to nurture and support each other forever.
Right there at her wedding party she looked from her man to the sky and there it was the magical button which had left a lasting impression on her life. Hovering over the sky. She smiled, she was glad to have made the perfect wish of Aku, her love.
