I am standing in the terrace deep in my thoughts, so deep that I couldn't see what is happening around me. This is a place I love the most, for, it gives the loniness when you want or breeze or the space it gives you to play or to read or to enjoy with people you love.
AS usual I am enjoying my stay here. Suddenly, I there is something deiiferent, or may be not something, everything, yes everything around me is going dark. I want to come out of this, out of this darkness, I started looking for a source of light (at least a shine or a glow) in all the directions - right, left, front, back, even towards sky. But, couldn't find any. (The clouds are shielding the twinkle from above). May be everything in this world wants me to stay in the darknes or may be I am imagining this.
Getting restless, I am turning around to see if i can find something, Suddenly, I could see a shine, I turn back at that direction. I have seen so many things shine, but, this particular shine was different, it came from a pair of black pearls. I couldn't identity what they are. I tried to observe them carefully, but, again I couldn't see what they are. But, I could see this, they are approaching me slowly. I was waiting to see them in close. They were moving for sure, that too, towards me. But then, I couldn't see them closer. They remained in the same place. I didn't know what to do. I am nervous to approach them, I want to shout, but, I am afraid to even do that. I have become still. May be I am wrong, some part of my body is moving. Yes, it is true. My right hand, it is moving to fetch those pearls, but, am I not afraid, how am I doing this. However, the truth is that I am moving my hand and moving towards the pair. I couldn't reach them. Now, I could feel another part of my body moving. Yes, my right foot, it took a step. I couldn't reach still, but, I was closer, closer than before, but, not good enough. Now, I streched my hand to catch them, I am sure I can hold them in my hand in jus a second. Now, not a part, but, whole of my body moved, my face kissed the ground. Yes, I fell down with a thud. More terror, I don't know if I should get up, or may be I should even run, there is some pain due to the fall. But, I am not in a position to show it now. As I am trying to put my head up, I could hear some sound, some sound only humans can make. I heard a burst of laughter. I knew what is around me now, I am not afraid any more, but, I couldn't put my head up. I could see my nephews laughing at me. Why wouldn't they when they witnessed such a scene.
Falling down on the ground isn't such a shame, but, to fall down from bed in front of kids is definitely not something you want to do.
