Slowly and unwillingly he opened his eyes and checked his clock, his heart panicked, it was too late, he had to go to his classes after long 2 weeks .getting ready was not a big deal for him. He started packing his books one by one, but something made him distracted. A bag beside the table was left alone. He knew that the owner of it won`t come and pack it to join him... The truth hurtled him all the more. His beloved sister went to a place unknown. The thoughts made him much worse; he felt a black hole in his heart where his sister swelled
During his breakfast, he could see his mother throwing him anxious looks. He was getting annoyed with it. "Are you sure, you can go alone? His mother asked him. He didn't reply, he knew he was matured enough to go alone, after all he is 8years old, all his friends went to the school alone. He finished his breakfast. He got ready to go. He walked out of the door, his mother followed him. When he said bye to his mother, she hugged him so tightly and told him "take care my dear", he could see tears flowing out of his mother's eyes. Still he managed to smile
He walked slowly through the road, he remembered his way to school with his sister, it was as if it were a dream, silly quarrels with her made him happy, but its all missing then, he entered the main road, still his mind focused on thoughts about his sister, walking and still thinking, he turned a corner, a huge container was darting straight to him, he jumped aside, he felt like it went right through him, thinking about his carelessness he felt ashamed, the truck slowed down. He knew he won`t hear anything good from the driver. He ran for it. Ran so hard that he lost where he was.
He was running through an unknown road, he knew his school is nearby, but a sudden horror feeling came to him, he lost his way. Now he ran through the road so fast, but he ended up in front of a large gate, a gate so large that he thought it might be a castle inside it. He saw a guard standing in front of it, the guard was quarreling with a young man, the young man was furious, he told the guard" you are telling me that I cant go now, and I have to go back and start it all over again, you don't know how much pain I felt being there", but the guard didn't make him enter, he told the young man to ask to an old man who was sitting in one of the benches beside the road.
He stood there watching, he couldn't hear what conversation was going between the young and the old man, at last the young man walked back crying. But what ever was happening there didn't matter him, he had to find his way back to home, he sat on the bench were the old man was sitting, he examined the old man closely, the old man had blue eyes, silvery beard and more over he was looking so charming in his old age. Somehow he felt that the old man could help him.
He sat in silence for a few minutes, but his fear of being lost the way over took his patience, he looked at the old man and asked him plainly "will u help me to get back to my home?, I lost my way"... But the old man didn't reply, anger burned through him, he shouted at the old man "i want to get back to my home, i need help"... He burs-ted into tears he couldn't bear the silence of the old man. He was the only chance of help for him and he too is unwilling to help him... He was crying, cried like never before in his life.
But to his surprise he saw that the old man was crying too, but he couldn't understand why?, the old man stood up, held his hand and walked... they walked to the top of a small hill, he followed the old man silently, they stood on top of it, the old man sighed, he asked him to look down. What he saw down there made him happy, the road that he passed and on which he had been nearly hit by a truck. but something was wrong there, the truck didn't move, people were crowded near to the truck, they were watching something lying down, they looked on it with pity and disgust, he focused hard to see what they were looking at, he got a glimpse of it, the sight made him go faint, his motionless body was lying there, it was all covered with blood.
He ran back, back to the bench where he sat a few time earlier with the old man, the truth took too much time to sink into his senses, the only possible explanation was that he was" dead", he cried for a long time, too long that the truth slowly sunk in, he didn't know what was next for him. To his relief he saw the old man sitting right beside him. he had a few questions in his mind which needed answers, he knew that the old man could give it easily.
Tears came running fast when he spoke" I am dead right?`, the old man nodded." but why i didn't feel any pain? "He asked the old man, the old man sat in silence for a few seconds and replied" just because you are a kid and your heart is pure; I won`t give a hard time for those who have good heart". This time he nodded, he looked at the large gate the guard was still standing there, but he didn't see the young man who stood there quarreling with him. words came out too quickly than he expected "where is the young man?", the old man replied" he is gone, gone back to where he came from", but why he had to go back? "He asked the old man." because he chose the easy way to escape from the hard times of life, he committed suicide. Each and everyone is send with a destiny and those who choose to come back without achieving it must go back", the old man finished with a sigh. Still he didn't feel comfortable. "So what`s next for me "he asked. The old man once again held his hand and guided him towards the gate. Now the guard smiled. The guard opened it.
There in front of his eyes stood a person whom he had been missing for so long. Came through and hugged him, rugged with all the energy she had. His sister looked just the same. she was happy then, she told him "its over, now we can go", he knew he had to go on, they moved together towards the large together, but something held him back, he came back and hugged the old man and said" thanks for giving her back", the old man smiled but he had tears escaping his eyes. The old man told him" go on, I`ll be with you" he passed the large gates, and where he stood had new colors and beauty that he never saw......
