Enveloped in my own world I was walking on the sandy pastures of that huge field. A room full of swirling thoughts stirring inside my head.
For some unknown reason today the sky was full of eagles. But, that did not hinder me from walking away from my home. Somehow as always, I managed to get my foot hooked onto something and with a loud thud I fell down.
It was a nasty fall as I was able to taste metal. Yes! There was blood in my mouth, my tongue got a cut.
"Good for me! Maybe this was the punishment I deserved for all the thoughts I was having. For what? Is it worth polluting my mind with such petty things. The world is full of many other important things to think about"
I had zillion things buzzing inside my head all at one go and meanwhile my hand was busy tugging at a small flag poking out of the ground.
'What is this flag doing in the middle of nowhere?' By now my eyes and focus shifted to a small bright orange flag mocking at me secured deeply in the sand near a small bush. "Ah! so this is the reason which made me see stars on this bright sunny day." Angrily i started digging around the flag to pull it out.
Surprisingly! the more I tried to pull it out the more deeper it felt. After working for sometime I managed to pull it out. 'Wait! What is that bottle tied to it?' with a child like curiosity, my mind started thinking about the Genie in a bottle. Sheepishly grinning, without wasting another moment I opened its cap, waiting for a genie to appear.
Well! Genies and fairies are merely fairy-tales. Aren't they? Along with some dry sand pop came a piece of paper from inside.
'Ah! so this must be some message from heaven for me.' my childish mind was not ready to accept any kind of defeat.
I quickly opened it and read what was written. And for a moment I found everything spin around me and my face was smeared with saline all at once. There were only five words written "Come Home! I LOVE YOU" they were written for whom or when did not matter. Right now those words meant a lot to me. Yes! they were sent from Heaven for me.
Laughing and crying I turned and rushed back HOME.
