The world moved on, as it always does.
Skyscrapers still scraped the sky.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1rlnpBMEt
Stock tickers still blinked.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDE7cpDwTH
The Sarah Joseph Conglomerate remained at the top—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnW8OQc413
But its heart had gone quiet.
Yet in a small apartment tucked away in the city,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OXqeG3Bz7
Happy Kingston sat by the window, wearing a scarf he once gave her,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSMaUcqUVL
and wrote.
Not in sorrow.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Sw8jhDTg
But in remembrance.
She began publishing his journals, the ones he never showed anyone.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaULkclrzFp
His thoughts. His pain. His dreams.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPilzDKU0y
She titled the first book “The Boy Named Smile.”
And the world listened.
The story of the boy who was blamed for a mother’s death,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCaGB9eM5y
who grew up in shadows,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJYBAQ8EDI
who loved once and only once—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkoIo0kVAI
and who finally smiled because of love—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZRZdz94O8
captured the hearts of millions.
Schools began teaching his philosophy:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qdachR9RQ
Pain doesn’t have to define you.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77mkN7UJo
You can write your own ending.
Statues were built.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M65klsHX9
Funds were created in his name.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqWhF0krF7
Mental health programs spread across Alexandra and beyond.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNHBUTdYdk
People began to speak up, cry freely, heal slowly—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6aFboTOwb
all in his name.
Happy visited his grave every year.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinQ5c35k3K
Not in tears. Not in mourning.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z23Zdh9ST
But with quiet peace.
She brought wildflowers—the kind he once said smelled like Elda Sonet’s garden.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvepXAA9IpK
She would read him letters from the people he’d unknowingly saved.
And sometimes—just sometimes—she would hear the wind rustle the trees12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOxA6cvN8L
and feel warmth on her face,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rIM3jk6LX
like he was there, listening.
Years passed.
Happy continued to live—not in sorrow, but in promise.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHN59S36TQ
She smiled more, laughed louder, and helped others learn to do the same.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RiNTtvq2
She carried him in her heart like a quiet flame.
And one day, when her own time came—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5SBMgY2aH
She didn’t fear it.
She lay peacefully, a soft smile on her face,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnjT37A2mM
and whispered his name one last time.
“Smile.”
Some say true love ends in tragedy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vISbll0Vh
But maybe, this one didn’t.
Because somewhere in the stars,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDN1hCwIyE
A boy who had never smiled12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgeR1enVkP
Waited for a girl who had always been happy—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmGJkTuLiq
And when they met again,
They both smiled.
For where there is Smile, there is Happy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLEiQPjuuW
And where there is Happy, Smile lives on.
He did not die. He simply chose to live forever...12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmVGqxkj5S
in happiness.
