♫ 《公主消失记》 - 05 - The incomplete puzzle ♫
Slightly more than one year ago, P-Ash incidentally chance upon a cutesy jigsaw puzzle that had her mesmerized the moment she laid eyes on it. However, being a complicated and large unique 3-D jigsaw puzzle, it was very expensive. She had no choice but to save up, penny by penny.
Months passed and P-Ash managed to cough out with the (insane) amount by taking on 2 additional part-time job aside from her current full-time job. Toast and butter was all she lived on, and entertainment was minimized to almost none. Finally, she purchased the puzzle and started piecing them the moment she got home. Excited as she already was, she worked on the puzzle everyday hoping to see the final masterpiece.
For two months she gave all her attention and focus to the puzzle and it was almost complete.
Gleefully, she took the last piece and placed it into the puzzle, only to realise that it was still missing one piece, right in the center of the puzzle. P-Ash searched everywhere for the missing piece but to no avail. The incomplete puzzle stood in the middle of her room staring blankly at her, and vice versa.
Days passed and she felt exactly like the puzzle - incomplete. All the time, effort, emotions and money that she had put in came up in a naught. P-Ash was almost on the verge of despondency, feeling all too helpless. Not knowing what to do, not knowing what she can do.
Today, the incomplete puzzle is still kept dearly by P-Ash, with the last piece of puzzle still missing. Emotions still fill her every now and then, yet there is no way she can discard the puzzle. All for a very simple reason - the puzzle is her heart.
