Little Princess!

Once again with time in the midst of lush green jungle one in million, small little princess was born as a boon to the joint family! Being pretty and naturally beautiful, she was pampered by the whole family who stood together both during the time of crisis and at celebrations. Her mom fed her the most and no siblings complained. It was a real heavenly life that princess enjoyed and there seemed no end to happiness!

As the sun rose on a beautiful misty morning, a dewdrop decorated her and made her look the best creation of God! There was a shine, an attraction and whoever saw her was awestruck. They brought cameras to take pictures that would be kept forever and they took pride of possessing the glorifying princess in their album! She liked it herself and enjoyed Sun smiling at her, rains cleansing her and the danceable cool breeze for nights! It was a perfect world where no problem ever existed until this…

The joint family was broken! Some people had come with unimaginable and unseen weapons; they were killers and heartless creatures of God! They had killed half of the family that lived inseparably for years. Princess cried for being helpless, so did her other family members. It was dreadful and sad days followed. She didn’t eat, didn’t drink, and didn’t enjoy the Sun! Mom took princess close to her heart one night when the winds blew sternly. She said, ‘Dear child, life is not always fair. Smile and move on until you stay!’

One prayer was always recited in the family. They prayed and hoped the killers would never return, they wished they all lived until God wanted them back, no one forced them to death and only their creator separated them!

Princess had stopped remembering the loss of her neared ones and lived a happy life with rest of the family. As days passed and months flew, princess grew older. She was big and had seen more pains with cheer. Princess turned grey and soon was in her last days. Once a young and attractive had become old and wretched! She knew it was time for her to bid goodbye to the family and cried everyday hoping to live another day! But the day had to come and it did. She fell off and touched the ground…

There was no life, just another leaf fallen on the ground from a big tree. People walked over the leaf, played with it and sometimes tore into pieces. No rain or Sun brought any pain. Once again with time in the midst of lush green jungle a princess had rested in peace and had cried with her last breath…

‘I pray and hope the killers would never return… wish my family and rest of the trees live like me until God wants us back and none cut us apart until our creator separates us!’
