....And then came the waves

....And then came the waves, erasing the letters which the boy had written with all the love treasured deep inside his heart. All of "Priya" was erased with just a half of P left out to stare at the boy and add to his frustration against the ocean, which was making fun of his love for Priya. He thought that it was unfair for a mighty ocean to taken on a 11 year old boy. When mother earth herself was giving him support to write his love on the shore, he could not understand why the ocean was not understanding his love. He loved priya from 2 years. She was the first girl who spoke to him in class and he had her name written inside his pencil box. When he grows bigger like his dad, he wanted to walk on the same shores with priya and also to catch few babies in the ocean, like mom had told him how dad found him in the ocean when he went for fishing. He was so attracted to her that he din't want to go home after school. He wanted to spend more time playing with her in school. With all these sweet thoughts in his mind, we forgave the ocean for its unforgivable mistake and began writing her name on the shore again. He was in no mood to accept defeat and started writing her name as big as his dad's car. He had to struggle to write each letter, but he enjoyed it as all the special moments spent with her passed though his mind while writing her name on the sand. His cheeks were blushing red and eyes were sparkling thinking about her. Every letter he wrote, made his love for her, more stronger. This time he was confident that no force could break his love. The moment he finished writing A, he turned back, put his hands on his waist and stared at the ocean. There was a sense on confidence in his face and his fist indicated that he could take on any force that could come between him and his love. He was a man on mission, to prove the world that his love for priya was stronger than anything in the world and nobody could mess with it. The smile of success started taking a dent when he observed a huge wave coming towards him. He stood there steady and unmoved, trying to send away the waves just by his anger filled eyes. But, it was not long before he realized that the wave was big enough to erase him alive, along with her name. And then came the waves......

Tears came trickling down his eyes. He was fighting against the nature. He broke down and came to his knees. He could not think what to do and started crying. He then remembered what his mother had once told him once while walking down the shores. She told him that ocean is a form of God and always does good things for us and he should respect it. He wiped his tears and started pondering if God was trying to give him an indication. “Yessssss”, there was a brightness on his face. God is really giving him an indication. Something flashed in his kiddish brain and he seemed to have got the answer. He jumped up with a beaming smile, realized the message from God and started walking towards his home murmuring to himself, “I think God is right. My love for Priya is not true love….hmmmn…. maybe, I should try Shriya’s name tomorrow”…..
