A True Story - Short and Cute




I opened my eyes on my bed. There is a smile on my lips when I realize this.

I saw this guy sitting on the sea shore with somebody invisible on his other side. This guy was speaking; however, I couldn’t hear him. When I neared him, he had something held in his hand; I could see him speaking emotionally. After a while he rose up slowly. He took his steps away from the sea, he could definitely walk faster, but, he didn’t. Looked like, he wanted someone to stop him. He continued, to take his steps, and there was no one to stop him. In a while, he went past the sand, suddenly, he looked up, and a droplet kissed his cheek. His lips parted to smile and then, there was a bang, he fell on the ground.

I opened my eyes on my bed. There was a smile on my lips when I realized it. I was excited about it. I am to meet somebody in the evening. I recollected as much I could.
The moment I heard her voice for the first time came to me. The time when I thought I would never ever see her again brought tears to me. The time when my heart pounded when I saw her once again. I could hear her sing. I wanted to join the group that had her, once again, finding a place so that I could be close to her.

It was evening. I took a shower and dressed up with one of my favorites. The smile never left me making people around to wonder and doubt me. As I walked on, the cool breeze welcomed me. I was as excited as the waves were.

Short ones are always sweet isn’t it? The pet names you have, the stories, we always heard this “short and cute” (I know it is wrong, but, I couldn’t resist than to mention it this way b’cos my title says that).

I said I was to meet somebody, but, I couldn’t see. I covered some distance with a hope to meet. Then, I saw fish (short in its name and cute it is, right?). My legs wanted no more to move. So, I sat down in such a way that I could face the fish. I looked at the fish for a while, I wanted to speak, to fish? Yes, that’s right. So, I started talking to the fish. Told the fish whatever I said I recollected. That brought smile to me. There could be so much hidden in a smile. I took my phone, read and then, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I rose up slowly. I took a few steps. I wanted somebody to stop me. I wanted the fish to stop me. The fish didn’t. I continued walking and I got past the sand. A droplet fell on me and I looked above to thank thinking that it wanted me to stop. I stood there. Then, there was a thump; I fell on to the ground with my eyes closed.

I opened my eyes on my bed. There was a smile on my lips when I realized it. I was neither excited nor worried, and there was confusion in my head. I don’t know if it is good if something happens or it is good that nothing happen. I couldn’t eat well, I was nervous about it. There were many recollections that I could make. Sometimes, they make me happy and at the other make my eyes wet. With whatever, it is, life has to move on. There would always be hurdles that one needs to cross. I have to move on.

I moved on, on the sea shore. I saw this guy. This guy was talking to a small one. I could hardly listen to him. He spoke while looking down. I could hear the last phrase. He said “I want to sleep...” The line is very simple. But, it meant something else. I could sense that with the way he rose. He walked past turning back every now and then. Suddenly, his head faced the heaven. He fell on the ground with a thud.

I opened my eyes on my bed. There is a smile on my lips when I realize it…


The word “I” is powerful right? That word would have raised so many eyebrows when they read this. Did you notice, I said “I” is a word even though it is just a letter.
I don’t know if this is cute, but, this is certainly small when compared to my previous ones.

PS: A “story” remains a story whether it is “true” or “false”. So, don’t ask me who the girl is.
