Keep smiling !

Flocks of birds were on their way back, soon I will not be able to see myself as the clock struck 6 and it was getting dark. The loud speakers of the near by mosque chanted “Allah”. This is the place were I end up whenever there was a quarrel between my parents, when my parents shout at me, when I had an argument with my sister when my girl friend said “bye” , My terrace the place I end up after any unfortunate thing that strikes me.

I loved this place though there was no nice nature that surrounded my house I still liked it, except for a suspicious stares from the neighboring terrace. It was a great day as everything worse happened together my parents & my sister as usual made me climb up the steps with there uncontrollable temper, my mobile beeped and added more to the fire “ Don’t ever talk to me again, Im leaving you” read the message from my girlfriend. I didn’t notice what was happening around me for the next 3 hours and it was the evening prayers from the mosque made me realize where I was.

I made a call to my friend and forced him to come for a smoke with me. As I turned around to get down from my favorite place a piece of paper rub passed me and landed near me, and I looked at the direction from where it came. I saw the girl next door standing smiling at me, dressed in her school uniform her eyes had a mix of fear and excitement, and her eyes were clearly saying a message to me, she rolled her eyes signaling me to pick up the paper she had just thrown. I stood there in disbelief , my brain started to workout all possible things that could be in the paper “ another love letter! Oh please I had enough with you girls, and I don’t want to cry anymore”. It was clear that my mind was making the decisions now; my broken heart was not in a position to say anything.

She stood there for few more sec and her anxious left hand was flipping in and out her bangles on her right hand. And as her mother called her name she ran down with her eyes fixed on me till the moment she disappeared. I was in no mood to check what was on that paper all I wanted was to reach the near by tea shop for my friend.

Two days passed and I was there in my favorite place and this time I saw her reach her terrace with depressed eyes , the fault was mine the paper still lies on the floor and the rain a day before has made the condition of the paper even more worse, she pulled few leaves of the near by tree and ran down the steps as she was not able to control her tears. Her tears made my broken heart throb for a sec I picked up the paper for the wet concrete surface .I expected nothing new in it may be a few lines to express what she felt for me , on 2nd thought I could be wrong there can be something else too. So I opened the letter, “ Don’t worry , things will be ok soon , Keep smiling” said the letter and had a big smiley drawn below that.I really don’t know what she wanted to say to me and what she felt for me all I know was that I had hurt a heart like someone has done to me. I never saw that girl after that.
