A Tale to tell
I fancy my self to be some kind of a writter and often indulge in writting just for sheer joy of it.Here is one such an attempt...
Maya a girl of 13 was staring out through the window of her school bus.
She had her biology book in her hand but her mind drifting sumwhere else. She tried to read but she coudnt.It was her birthday.She generally is a very happy person and is flocked by friends who are mostly true to her.Today was even more special. She was all dressed up like a princess.She wore a beautiful salwar in her favorite red colour.Her long black straight hair was let down loose.Her tiny fringe brushing her dusky cheeks.She in all was a delight to the eye-"a walking candy bar".Her friends gathered near her and wished her.She gave the sweets and cake rather mechanically with a fake smile. She was not in her regular self. In the corner of her eye tear was ready to make its way out.
She saw a blue swift go by.The only thing that flashed her mind was her dad.She was the darling of her fathers eye.Obvious since she had lost her mother when she was 2 years of age.Unfortunately he had to go on a business trip on his angel's birthday.And the worst part is dad who was always the first to wish didnt even wish yet inspite of talking to her on phone.did dad just forget?This is the tale behind Maya's tears.Yet Maya was strong.She was no sentimental fool.After all it was her birthday.So she was all ready to enjoy it and write her exam to her best possible efficiency.
The bus stopped.Maya got both.Just as she laid her leg on the floor three of her friends were waiting to greet her.Maya,Vani,Pooja and Aaradhana were the best of friends.Always together in their joy and sorrow.Maya was wished with a big hug for all and gifts.They walked together towards the new-block.They went to their classes.Maya and pooja were in the same class.Pooja saw that Maya was fighting back a tear.She didnt want to ask why.She went near Maya and gave her a hug and said:"What ever may be the thought disturbing you put it aside.Its your day put up that beautiful curve on ur face."Maya nodded and put up the biggest smile possible.Atlast she felt that her pain had eased a bit.That tear atlast found its way out.Poojas hand was fast enough to wipe it before it reached Maya's clear cheek.They wished each other good luck and started the exam.Maya was a straight A student.Exam was her kind of game.Her love for school and exams only preceeded by her passion for vocal carnatic music.She had learnt it from the tender age of 3.
The last exam for annual over.All bit goodbye as they were to meet in school only after 2 months.Maya was busy giving sweets to all her friends.She heard some one call her "magic".She thought she was hearing things.Then in the same voice she heard"My princess maya."She turned to see her dad with wide open arms.She ran into his arms to fill dat void.He whispered"Happy birthday sweety!"She was too happy now too tears came but of joy.
They she bit farewell to her friends.She got into her car with dad.Throught the travel both of them were silent as thought speaking throught minds and hearts.When they reached their parking lot Maya could not but help asking"Dad why did u not wish me before?"dad:"You love surprises I wanted me to be your birthday surprise."The surprise didnt end there when she went home and opened the door she saw a room full of guests and a birthday cake which read"Happy bday Maya..welcome to teens.Love dad ."Maya did not hav any words.She fought hard to bring out"Thank you..."...The rest is not worth told but better understood in your own terms
