#MagicOfWarmth Moments

“Who gets excited for one’s birthday?”
“It’s just another day.”
“Why create the fuss?!”
She had all of this running through her mind, as she struggled to tell herself that tomorrow she is going to be 18 and there’s no big deal about it.

She had nothing planned for her big day and carried no expectations. But who knew something big was already in store for her. She went to her sleep expecting the midnight birthday calls, and on asked upon what her plans were for the so-called big day, she had them by replying that it was going to be a simple lunch out with few of her close friends. And that was it. She was done with her midnight calls and dozed off.

The sun was up. The door bell rang. And what was on the other side of the door was her first surprise. Two of her friends showed up with the cakes and the gifts. The day has just started, and that was just the beginning. It followed up with much more when one by one all of her other friends started to show up, and every time she heard a doorbell, she couldn’t be more surprised. 

 
They took her to a long drive and by the time, she returned back, her room was decorated in a way she couldn’t have imagined. She wore that smile on her face the whole day. She took them out on a cruise for the evening on the river of the Brahmaputra, and the evening was full of merriment and joy. They danced, they drank and they clicked all of the memories they could capture together.

She still had no clue on who could have planned so much for her, to make her feel special like she deserved it. She enquired but none opened up to her. A mystery she was trying to solve all day, but no one would help her.

When she returned home after her long and beautiful day, she found a paper lying on her mom’s bedside. She went near and picked up the paper. What followed next shocked her completely, and she couldn’t just believe her eyes. It had all the numbers of her friends. She knew then, it was her. It couldn’t be anybody else. Her eyes welled up with tears of happiness.

She just rushed to her mom at that moment. She gave her a big smile and they both hugged.

"Dark and Twisty"

Things aren't always meant to be the way we want it to be. One moment you are really happy, only to find the next moment a bomb was dropped to shatter all your hopes; all your beliefs, you knew that won’t last, like the previous one. But still negotiating with our heart, raising above all the blackened sights, we are ready to take the challenge, face the risk that stands against us, to make ourselves understand that life is meant to be this way. Every time we are able to dodge a hurdle from our way, we feel competent enough to survive this game of life. To let ourselves feel proud of how we are winning the game named ‘Survival of the Fittest’ and how perfectly we are suited for the competition.

But between all this race; this competition, we all, for once, want to sought solace in the company of warm hands and soothing voice that speaks tranquility, but not to be sympathize, who understand the difference of what is to be praised, but not pitied. Before we even realize, all the damage is done and there’s nothing we could do, time seems to move in slow motion and we can’t make it stop. We don’t feel the need to regret because that is how we choose to repair; to glue all the broken parts together.  Call it ‘Dark and Twisty’ for that is how it is meant to be, isn't it?
