The Letter of Surprise

In a tranquil corner by a meandering river, there stood a small house. This was the home of a young girl named Aruna, a name as beautiful as the person who bore it. Aruna was a beacon of joy, her infectious cheerfulness brightening the lives of those around her. Aruna was just an ordinary girl, one of many in her village. But her kindness set her apart. She had a heart as broad and deep as the river beside her home, and it was this kindness that made even the elements respond to her. The breeze would greet her gently every morning, rustling the leaves in a whispering symphony, as if nature itself was acknowledging her gentle spirit.

Aruna had a knack for sewing and designing clothes. The villagers admired her talent and often sought her expertise. She would sit by the window, her fingers deftly moving as she transformed simple threads into beautiful garments. Each stitch was a testament to her skill and creativity, each design a reflection of her unique perspective.

Despite her cheerful demeanor and bustling life in the village, there was a touch of loneliness in Aruna's life. Her parents lived far away, and she could only look forward to their letters and news that arrived every few weeks. These letters were her connection to them, a lifeline that bridged the distance. She would read and reread them, each word a precious memento, each letter a cherished memory.

Aruna's life seemed to be very beautiful. However, every night she was pensive and said,

"I've done everything I want to but there seems to be something missing, I don't have any close friends and I haven't had any adventures for a long time."

"And the day after tomorrow is my 21st birthday."

There was a hint of sadness and loneliness in her words.

On another Monday morning,
Aruna woke up from a pleasant dream and prepared for work, where she would earn a living. In her haste, she didn't forget to check her mailbox.
As she glanced through the mail, she exclaimed,

"The letter from my parents has arrived! There's also a letter from the fabric shop. How delightful!"

However, there was something else that caught her attention-a box containing various items. Inside, she found a beautiful fresh rose, a sweet blue dress, and an anchor-shaped key.

"Wow, is there anything else wonderful going to happen today that would make me get such a sweet package?"

Aruna said as she asked herself. However, the sun was beating down, and there was no time to look at all the letters. Aruna hurried away.

After returning from her job,
She found herself intrigued by an unopened letter package that had been delivered. Once inside her home, she began to go through each letter. Among them was a letter from an unidentified sender, which contained a brief poem when she read it.

Aruna, My dear friend
Without whomever by my side
Here, I am alone
enjoy this taste
It's a cool breeze
The rain has stopped
Come out and see
Would you like to see me?
Tell me that happiness is
Where the river fall
near Fairy Fair
next day

Your bestie,
Darian

After reading the letter, Aruna was left speechless and immediately thought of her old friend, Darian. She couldn't help but admire the beauty of the poem, but at the same time, she was curious about its meaning. Why would Darian send her a message now? Was there something important he wanted to discuss or ask for a favor? Aruna's curiosity grew, but she also couldn't help but recall a funny memory involving Darian. She burst into laughter, realizing how mysterious and mischievous he could be.
