One Fine Day...

One fine day a boy woke up from his sleep. He found it was a bright sunny day, full of happenings and hope so decided to go after the most famous tower of the city. He rushed out from his room and saw mom who was busy with daily household chore, greeted her good morning. She opened the world of love with her arms and he disappeared in them for few moments. Then, he rushed for the room where his dad was sleeping. As he entered, he saw his dad laid on bed with open eyes. He looked at his father and soon father also looked at him. However, father said nothing but called him closer and asked about mom.

Boy answered, “She is busy with household work.” After that, father gave him lesson on life. He told him how to one should lead a good life, how one should learn from his own deeds, how one can love and hate someone, how someone should go for his journey as life is nothing but a journey from birth till death. Boy looked into father’s eyes and it seemed every single word from his mouth left an impression on boy’s mind.

After few hours, mom readied him to step out. He said bye to his mom and Dad and stepped out from home and began walking along with the road. First, he met with few strange faces; he made friendship with them. He spent few hours playing with them and enjoyed the good times. While he played and made new friends, he remembered each and every word of his father’s lesson. At few instances, he fell down while playing, at few instances, he got betrayal from those friends, and finally he understood the fact that not everyone is meant for friendship, there are very few. He gestured at those few and walked ahead towards the tower.

After some distance he met a group of girls playing in at the roadside garden. He approached them and requested to allow him to play with them. Few giggled on him and few welcomed him. After few minutes of playing, he realized that few girls were really sweet. He inclined towards them but soon he realized that not all were so good but there is one with pink cheeks and in white gown meant for him. They both started playing separately but soon boy had to leave her alone due to the urge of seeing the big tower at other end of the city.

After leaving her, he again started walking along the road and soon realized that he was hungry. He looked into his pocket for money, which his father had given him. He rushed for a nearby Pizza shop and bought a pizza that was enough for his appetite. When he put the fist slice in his mouth, it felt so tasty. He ate all the slices but when he ate the last slice, he missed the taste of his mom’s handmade food. He left last slice and rushed out from the shop.

Now, as soon as he walked out from the shop, he saw the tip of that tower. He forgot about the taste of his mom’s handmade food and walked in its direction. Soon he stuck somewhere and asked for a way but no one showed him the right way. He missed his friends whom he had left then missed the white gown girl with pink cheeks and then his parents but the lesson given by his father was still with him. Eventually, he got the way to reach to that tower. He kept on walking until he reached there.

When he reached, he felt so happy and shouted in joy but the commuters looked at him as if he was a mad kid. He wanted to share his joy with his morning friends, his only pink cheek girl friend, his mom, his dad. However, no one was around. He sat down below that tower and looked around, the commuters were gone, the surroundings were empty and the night had fallen. He realized that in the urge of this tower, he lost everything and even this night was not also allowing him to return to his home. He had to wait for the morning if it comes, else he would have to wait here until the end of everything……
