Once upon A letter

ONCE UPON A LETTER💌

Towards 2 years ending, should be either November or December, can't really say. I went out for my early morning jogging, on my way back, that was 25 minutes past 7,I could remember the date vividly because it was probably the ending of a love story that day, or perhaps the beginning 🤔 ©Soul Scribbles

Just two houses away from my street, I noticed a neat red color envelope on the sidewalk, someone might have dropped it not long before I came along because it was too neat to have spent even an hour laying there. I was tempted to pick it for so many reasons, one it was my favorite color, two, who knows what was inside, wouldn't hurt to check, three, I loved the design on the envelope, it had a drawing of two hands holding, more like a sketch though, four, it was my color and five, I really wanted to know what was inside.🧐🧐

I picked it up after making sure there was no one with camera around, all these content creators, let somebody not come out from one place and start shouting it's a prank, it's a prank🙄🤧. I turned to the other side of the envelope, with a fine Calibri light writing 'from your better side, Vanessa' was written on it. Wow, I'm definitely opening it now, I felt a little guilty opening the letter, at the other hand, I wanted to know if there was any address or info to contact.

I gently opened the seal, I could have sworn a very nice scent hit my nose but it only lasted for a while, the letter was definitely dropped minutes ago. I looked around once more but this time, I was checking if the owner might still be close by or at least returning in search of it but there was no one. I brought out the pink paper inside the envelope, what a beauty, the paper had imprinted designs of flowers on it and it definitely smelled nice.

My eyes went in search of an address or number but there was none, I folded the paper back into the envelope and headed back home with the envelope of course, I had decided to read the letter at home...

On getting home, after showering, I sat down on my bed with the letter in my hand thinking if I was doing a bad thing by reading the letter, my subconscious💨 answered saying it wasn't a bad thing and besides I would figure out who the letter was for or who wrote it and deliver it back to whomever I find first, right?🧐 Was I planning on doing that? I thought, I guess I will have to, it was the right thing to do.

I carefully opened the envelope again and brought of the paper, it was definitely scented, I brought it closer to my nose, a hint of rose knocked my nose, followed by strawberry and two other scents I can't name, the writer of the letter must be a lover of fragrance, even more, must be an artist or has artistic knowledge.

The letter was carefully written in Segoe Script hand writing, hmm, must be a scholar. Looking closer, I discovered the letter wasn't written in English except from the 'DEAR OBADIAH' salutation. I didn't major in French but I know French when I see it, it wasn't, I don't think it's Spanish either.

I picked my phone 📱 and typed a word from the body of the letter, Google replied word not found❌. What kind of language was this that's not even on Google, maybe, just maybe it's a language like the Jungle language or B language but this isn't it. I guess the couple must have formulated their language, funnily, I do imagine my future partner and I having a discussion with a language no one understands except us, I guess I was not the only one fantasizing🥲.© Soul Scribbles
