Joshua has an enormous interest in the stars engulfing the entire universe. Ever since he was 10, Joshua considered stargazing as one of his top hobbies next to reading books from the library that held one of many pictures to describe a scene in a story. His parents would often buy him telescopes to view the scenery above. Before going to bed, he never missed a chance to stare at the ceiling where the miniature stars he added would glow from the dark corners of his room. They were little angels, sent to make his day brighter and sleep more peacefully than the last.

This hobby grew as his future profession, the astrophotographer he presents to everyone. Joshua always had the habit to take his camera with him along with his tripod just to capture each trail of the stars moving through the galaxy. It’s a beautiful sight compared to the many people whom he considers being his constellations from his personal universe.

"joshua! dinner time. it's late now, can't have your pasta getting cold."

His attention reverted towards the clear, sliding door frame where there stood his fiancée. The very woman who Joshua includes in his collection of stars. She is bright yet fierce, a resemblance to that of a large tiger. Just like the moon, his eyes turned into small crescents. Joshua’s smile burned as bright as sunlight against the moon above. Taking a step back from his tripod, the male rejoined his lover inside the presence of their cozy home.

"let's go stargazing sometime this weekend. i can prepare the tripod, food, and-."

"we always watch the stars together. you really can't get enough of seeing them, huh?"

Fits of giggles escaped the female while she stared at Joshua, who didn’t feel embarrassed at all but proud. He was once shy over the fact that he couldn’t stop himself from his interest in the stars. The time spent with his person made him feel content with each habit and secret they intended to keep. Someday, he wishes that he’ll stay in the same place where they could be happy together.

she was his sun, a light burning in magnificent blue flames until the day it dimmed.

july 18th. the day of joshua's marriage had finally came. he didn't expect to count down excitedly from his own calender and wind up being jittery first thing in the morning as he woke up from the comforts of his pearl white mattress. he felt tensed and worried about anything tragic that could occur in his wedding day. so, the young man made an effort to make double checks on everything in the reception before finally settling down and allow himself to get ready for his day with his soon to be wife. a smile etched his face between the uneasiness he felt after thinking about the same woman he fell in love with all those years ago. they've been together for 5 years and joshua knew he wanted an extension until the day they would part.

"am i fixing my tie right? i am completely useless whenever it came to these outfits." joshua fidled and fold the piece of clothing accessory for 4 times in a row, trying to grasp the arts of neck ties.

"you're always lost whenever you try and fix a neck tie by yourself unless she helps you with it. now i see why you guys are inseparable."

with quick motions, joshua's best friend appeared to his aid and took the time to tie the black neck tie around his neck. joshua's lip pouted in response. "well, at least i don't find her complaining about it. besides, she like the close proximity every time she fix my tie for me." joshua always gained short pecks before leaving for work each time his fiancée make his tie for him. the sweet gesture made his heart flutter everyday.

"neat and handsome. say, why don't you enjoy a drink with me near the bridge? i'd like to spend a few hours with you. it could also help calm your nerves before the event."

"it's early, no alcohol."

"it's for good luck. only this once." his best friend tried to convince joshua, even stopping him from his tracks to exit the room. he didn't know what kind of charm it brought if he ever drank before the wedding reception. joshua hates slurring through his lines. he's serious about his marriage with his fiancée but, since his best friend couldn't let him through he obliged.

"one glass, but that's it. i won't be drinking much more after that." "thank you! you won't regret it."

the morning sun casted between both men while they ascend the staircase of the bridge. his best friend held two glasses of sangria, handing the other to joshua once they reach the middle. "thanks for coming to my wedding even if i do shake on the day itself. you keep me grounded and have always been by my side since high school." joshua sent a warm smile towards his friend who refused to look at him until a good 2 minutes passed.

silence filled the entire moment, no words were exchanged by the both of them with the exception of the wind blowing against the locks of their hair. joshua stared at his glass and watched each slice of lemon mix into the beverage on his hand. it's been a year ever since he drank anything related to alchohol and refused the thought of doing so unless it's for a special occassion. after a minute has passed, joshua took a sip of his drink, then another until he finished his glass. his best friend stood behind him, eyes narrowed, watching the scene unfold in front of him. he set his own glass aside. untouched.

"let's... let's head back to the..."

joshua set his empty glass down on the ledge of the bridge. head spining, he rest the weight of his body beside his wine glass. he didn't even drink that much, it was only one glass. joshua wasn't in a hurry to go back to meet his fiancée unless, "i'm greatful to meet you too joshua but, unfortunately it's time for you to go."

"w-what? wait..."

his mind and body refused to cooperate with him. what he didn't expect was his best friend carrying his body and tossing him off the bridge as if he was light as a single white feather. unable to shout for help, joshua allowed himself to crash against the water below him waiting for someone or something to save him.

in 1 month, joshua stayed in the hospital to be treated. many people, his friends, family (minus his ex-fiancée and best friend) asked him what happened. but he was unable to speak about the incident. joshua claimed that he didn't knew about a marriage further concluding that he forgot the tragedy from the fall.

once he was discharged from the hospital joshua took a 1 week break from work in hopes to regain his energy back. his friends took him out into a restaurant one night that looked vaguely familiar to him. joshua felt like he've been here but with someone else. he had fun until he saw the very person who made him happy, sitting on a table with someone nearby his own.

"hey, i'll talk to you guys later. i need to go to the restroom." joshua dismissed himself from his friends and walked carefully towards the table where he spot a woman significantly familiar to him. "excuse me, i think i've seen you somewhere-."

his sentence was caught off short with the man sitting across from her. "joshua?" he whipped his head between the woman and the man slowly remembering. his fiancée and his best friend. in a few moments, he regained his memory of the same tragedy from the bridge.

"wait, what are you doing here, darling? let's go home, you never told me that you were going out with him."

"i'm married to him joshua..."

his eyes fell towards the floor, downcasted by the news he received lately. why is his fiancée married to his best friend? confusion flood his thoughts and before he could utter another word his friends pull him away from the growing crowd that he caused from his conversation with his ex-fiancée.

joshua felt restless. the desire of gaining back his ex-fiancée was denied by his friends and family members. he couldn't continue his work properly from the countless times he kept thinking of his lover, now a figment kept at the back of his memory. joshua mustered all his strength to get over his tragic marriage even with his wedding band kept inside the drawers of his night stand in his room. he refused to throw away the little accesseory that wrapped around his finger so delicately.

a ring once filled with love and warmth, now frigid to the touch, piercing his soul.
