The desert is a capricious lady, and sometimes she drives men crazy. Omar was travelling from far lands of deserts through that craziness. One unknown destination was waiting for him for a long, although he forgot where to go. He didn't even remember his existence. He was a lonely traveler through the sea of hot sands. It is all about life, and sometimes we have to travel alone. Life always experiments on us and send us many corners of earth to search our lost happiness. He was feeling thirsty under the red-hot sky, so his eyes were looking all horizons for habitants and shades. He didn't know which direction was right for him, where he should head to reach some comfortable locations. But desert is so huge, and horizons so distant, that they make a person feel small. But he was looking for some footprints of camels so that he could search his destiny. That was strange that someone's destiny was lined by camel's temporary landmarks. But footprints of camels were not so clear, but some shells were visible on sands. From here and there he started collecting shells, and shells proved that the desert, in the remote times, had been a sea. He put all the shells in his worn-out bag, and some shells fell down through an opening of the bag. He neglected and started walking like a traveler.
After one hour of travelling through White Sea he started coughing, and remembering something about someone which was half clear. He wanted to say something to someone just before eleventh hour of his life. Fear of death arose in his mind. Usually, we understand the value of our life when death is very nearer to us. Threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives, hethought. He started remembering all important words of Allah; and laid in hot sands with folding hands. He knew that desert also sensed his fear. He also knows that everybody has to move actual destination where he or she finally belongs to.
Suddenly he heard some camel's whinnying and opened his eyes. It sensed him that he was all right. He saw a group of camels coming towards him with their men. A camel's whinnying was more than whinnying for him as it's a signal of his remaining life. He was looking towards them like a helpless man almost dead. A dry human body almost lost the sense. Some guys with dressed in his Arabian clothing of white linen, and head-cloth secured with a ring made of camel skin, held him tightly and secured with the seat on top of camel. When one young man with small beard and blue eyes started pouring some water in his mouth, he got his life back. He thanked to Allah by raising his one hand towards the bright sky for sending them to rescue him. He doesn't know if the desert can have friends. Almost one hour he was thinking something in closed eyes. He knew that closed eyes are safer than open eyes in hot deserts as if you are unnoticed of fire flow coming from a central source. After almost one hour the caravan reached a small village and stopped there to take rest. He sat on a wooden piece laid on sand, and that guy who saved his life was running toward a lady waiting at far. After many days he saw a lady in desert. Her face was open, but remaining part wrapped with tradition black veils.
Women with uncovered face are also rare in Arabian village, he thought.He sensed her sparkle of smiles. This is a universal language everybody understands. We don't need any languages, and our emotions are better than any verbal languages, he thought. One old man whose face was lined with heat burning and carries history of deserts, came to him and asked, "where you want to go?"
Actually, he was with the same group, to whom saved his heart beats. He was silence like desert at noon. Old man left him after giving a smile, but without his answer.
After some time he opened his bag and shells fell down over the sands. They were still on their original positions, on sands. He saw an old picture in his bag, and he started remembering everything. He is here to search his lost love who left him a long back and migrated to Abu Dhabi from their old land, he thought. He has to search her, and that is the only mission he has in my life, he remembered. He filled his bottle with water from an oasis and started his remaining journey. He asked a young gentleman who was sitting in a wooden chair in front of his tent, and he told him that Abu Dhabi city is just 50 Kms from this village. Now, if I die also by realizing my destiny, I should be happy, he thought. That's a lot better than dying like millions of other people, who never even knew that their destinies were.
Now I don't have to afraid of, he thought. Scent of his love was guiding him towards his destiny. He thought if he would have been a wind then he would have reached each corner of the earth, crossed the seas, blew away the sands and carried the voices of love through the heart ofpeoples. Making a decision was only the beginning of things, and to complete it he has to go long way till his death. Now he was listening three voices in this silence desert: the sound of eternal wind, of the hoof beats of the animals and, his heart beats. He knew Allah is with him, and He has written our life stories and history of the world in His single hand. He is testing us all the time.
After three hours desert journey he saw a garden which was almost visible from corner of his eyes. He was so happy to see such creation in desert. My love is waiting there for me, he thought. He knew that he is also waiting from many generations for some intoxicated mistakes, beautiful sins, century-old thrusts and some wet nights. He reached nearer to garden gate with his dreams in mind, and his eyes were looking for his darling; for his soul mate; for his beloved one. Door of the gate was half open and old Iron Gate was like a heaven creature. But he succeeded to read the name of the garden from dispersed Arabic alphabets, and its name was 'Al Raha Garden', a beautiful landmark in sand of sea. But no human existence could be seen except him. There were many types of flowers and trees in the garden, and he found a beautiful shadow although there were no trees in that spot. What is it, he questioned himself, and was surprised. When he started to enter toward the middle of garden, there's a road scented with red flowers and golden leaf. When he was heading towards deeper part of garden silence was capturing him. But he saw beautiful trees standing towards sky with all colors of flowers and golden Leafs, whichhe had never seen before in his life.
He closed his eyes for a while and again saw the magic tree. Now he saw a lady wearing veil of smoke-thin chiffon and gaily printed cotton stiff with gold embroidery and silver ornaments that flash a shield-shape in the sun. It obscured all the face from forehead to neck and shadow it no more than a breath of dark air. People have similar views about veils although it's not. There was a face cover made of net where micro holes flash her white skins. She was turning her face toward him. He was scared that she knew him, moreover he was thinking about his love. Once it was come in mind that she was lady who was waiting for him like a thirsty land waiting for rain. One scented breeze was roaring from northeastern part of sea and made him feel he was in heaven. He was moving his body towards her, and sun was smiling with its full glow. He saw her shadow down on earth and gazed his head toward sky. She lifted her face piece and tied with her head. She was a beautiful angel looking like his beloved one, was flashing her smiles. She was looking like a toxic angel just ready to kill him and he was ready for the intoxication of the fall. Her Veil looked like darkness at noon and giving shadow to the world. From her shadow heaven boundary begins, he thought.
Now she started coming toward him and he just squeezed his heart. She was almost looking like his love Rida and now her eye drops started falling like toxic rains. She was going to flood the entire desert. Suddenly it was raining, which he dreamed and full garden was calm andlittle dark. She was very nearer to him and asked him with crying voice with one hand touching his arm "where were you, Omar and why you took so many years to reach me?" She recognized him and he started crying. With tears in rain, he hugged her and started looking at her beautiful eyes. He knew that their tears would meet one day for forever.
