"Shall I tell you a story
A story of a poor little boy
A little boy who met a little girl with a thousand smiles"

Eka thought to himself. 'I'm lonely. Too lonely. Kak Nusa seldom comes here anymore to visit me.... I wonder how's everyone doing.....?'. He stares out of the window, looking at the beautiful flower field. The field looks shiny because of the sun, he always like it. He feels calm everytime he looks at it.

Suddenly, small steps coming from the field, followed by a small cheerful laughter. A little blonde girl then comes out, chasing a small rabbit happily. Curious, Eka opens the window and it immediately catch the blonde girl's attention.

And then their eyes met.

He will never forget that beautiful gleaming blue eyes.

"He named each one of her smiles
He filled his room with her pictures
When she left there was nothing left but thousand smiles"

Yuri was the name of that beautiful girl. They meet up with a smile, and Eka now really likes to draw her smiling. A bunch of papers piled up in his room, all of Yuri's pictures. Eka slowly begin to fall in love with her, without her knowing it. They just spend time as much as they can together, in that flower field. Without knowing how precious they will be.

Yuri has to transferred to another country. They play for the last time together at that time, holding hands side by side. Whispering each other comforting words, and Eka know that he'll never see her again. Will just being reminded of her by hundreds of drawings in his room. A bunch of pretty smiles that decorates his room.

"He held her tightly the last minute before goodbye
This is what he whispered"

Eka hugs Yuri tightly but gently, whispering goodbye in her ears.

That night, they cried together to sleep.

"There's nothing I will forget
nothing I won't forgive
I never thought I'd come to this
Can't you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss
but I can hide it for now
'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"

With that last whisper, they parted forever.

"It occurred a dozen years later
The next day was his 23rd birthday
His idle life ended up in shooting a girl"

12 years later, in a small prison on the countryside. That's where Eka sat now. Staring lifelessly through the bars, looking at the small field just beside the prison. He got a death sentence, because he shot a girl. That's not even true. He was just being there when the culprit... The robber, shoves the gun right in his hands after wiping off the fingerprints and just run away. And there's no witnesses too.

And he can do nothing about it. Tomorrow will be his last birthday, as well as his death day.

"He cursed his whole lost life
in a tiny concrete cage
He looked around and found there's nothing left in his hands"

He had cried enough. His life will end tomorrow. He had saw the victim. She has the same eyes as that girl back from 12 years ago. That girl he loves very much. That girl that had showed him so many smiles and fun. Yuri, was the name of the girl. And she just died. That's enough for him to have nothing anymore.

He buries his face in his hands, and cried again.

"He held himself tightly the last minute before goodbye
This is what he whispered"

Midnight has occured. He stares blankly through the bars, staring at the white moon. He hugged his knees, and begin whispering. The words from back then. The words from 12 years ago. The words that planted into his mind.

"There's nothing I will forget
nothing I won't forgive
I never thought I'd come to this
Can't you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss
but I can hide it for now
'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He held himself tightly in front of the gallows
This is what he whispered"

The day has come. Eka stares at the crowd in front of the stage. A noose had hung in front of his eyes, ready to take his life soon. He looks down, and hugging his arms. He begin to mutters his last words that were so lovely to him. He cried silently.

"Nothing I will forget
nothing I won't forgive
I never thought I'd come to this
Can't you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss
but I can hide it for now
'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"

The noose had tightened around his neck. Eka stares without fear in his eyes. He's ready now. Because he will meet her again, soon... in another world.

'Yuri..... I'll meet you soon...'

"Nothing I will forget
nothing I won't forgive
I never thought I'd come to this
Can't you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss
but I can hide it for now
'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"

The chair has been kicked, and the rope yanks. A moments later, Birds chirping as one more innocent soul gone from this world... and finally meet with his love.

".....so I'm alright"
