Wishful Thinking

Another Evening with soft clouds spread haphazardly as if they have fallen out from the bucket of a restive maid who was getting late for home as it was already getting dark. She then might have left them as it is and hurried back to home. After she might have reached home safely her mother would have twin emotions of worry and happiness at the same time which manifests into moisture in her eyes. Though the mother's eyes were not symbolic to grief but in a way Ginger derived consolation from them as quickly forgot about the fear of the darkness she just encountered.

It was after some time that Ginger recalled about her soft clouds and went to mother to talk about it. She insisted to find them but it was dark. Soon the Father came home and asked about Ginger's sullen face. After understanding the matter he assured ginger of getting them them back for her. He told her that she shall find them at the same place she left them but the right time to find them is the same time she left them. It seemed like a riddle to her but she believed him and had faith.
That night it rained heavily,Ginger got worried than ever and couldnt catch any sleep. She went up to her father who was sitting close to the window pondering over the same thing that was haunting her daughter. But he has to act strong, at least on the outside so that he could absorb the fear out of her beloved daughter. Ginger asked coyly a question that almost reminded her father of her earlychildhood.

"Father, my soft clouds must be in trouble. Its raining so hard outside. While i am in the shelter, i cant bear the thought of them fighting the strorm and the scary dark outside."

Father thought for a while and said the words which remained a guiding force throught the life of ginger
" honey, my dearest daughter, you should not fear as it is the most wretched vice present in the Universe.  For those who have faith are never daunted by any storm or the darkness. Hate fear in others but foremost hate fear in yourself as it takes away the power of reason from the mind and fills it with the darkness. Close your eyes and imagine a bright day and your soft clouds hanging in lukewarm breeze,calling your name"
Ginger closed her eyes and after a while she saw something.
" Father , i have no fear now."
" Ginger what do you see."
" Father, now i see the light!!!"
" And....honey what else you see"
" I see a very beautiful SUNSHINE"
" Any what else"
" I see the CLOUD wafting and wallowing happily in the soft white feathery like love of his beloved SUNSHINE!"


And the Father closed the diary which he was reading,the mother who was listening to the whole conversation came close to his armchair while exchanging a tinge of romantic glare through her beautiful eyes said to him.
" Stop that wishful thinking. Will you?"
And they both bursted into laughter remembering the old days while thankfully ginger's eyes were still closed!

So do you ,See the light dear???
