Ronny stands alone on his balcony with his hands folded across his chest, wondering how life will be because life has not been the same for him. Friends no longer associate with him because they have been calling his number and he does not pick up. So he prefers the life of loneliness, where he does not want to have a relationship with anyone.

His inner thoughts give him the wrong impression of people, including those he usually works with, because he believes that they cannot be trusted anymore.

In that case, life is cruel to him and there is no one he can depend on. He feels hopeless and helpless to move on in life as Ronny sits alone in the park near his house because he believes it is the only place to continue thinking about how his life will be.

He saw a gardener doing his morning work by cutting the branches of the old flowers that will soon die. Ronny thinks deeply that if the gardener waters the flowers again, their colors will blossom. When the new season arrive the flower look more beautiful and amazing than previous season.

Immediately, he looked up at the sky, smiled, and believed that only if he adopted peaceful inner thoughts could his life be meaningful again. He learned how life works from the flower that looked beautiful. The next morning, Ronny returned to his workplace with a strong belief that everything would be normal the way he wanted it.

Upon arrival at his workplace, he walked through the office of his old friend Nina, who welcomed him with a warm heart and surprise to see him, Ninasaid to him that ever since he was absent from the office for several months, her life had never been the same again because she missed all the jokes and laughter that improved her life positively;

she viewed Ronny as a perfectly gentle person who loved to mingle with her. He smiled and looked at Nina's face, he calm and have a strong believing that staying together could help him bring happiness he inspire for a long time.

During the break hour in the office, Nina and Ronny had a good time together, chilling in one place with the both of them have the positive feeling that where there is hope, there is life.

I would like to invite @wuddi, @entity01 and @sana-khan01 to participate in this contest.

FeedbackYou missed a couple of points like Nina had joined that office while Ronny was on leave and you mentioned the gardener cutting the branches of dead flowers and watering them. The prompt says it was the tree in hibernation. Your story could be different but for couple of overlook.
