Birth of a secret

  Birth of a secret

It was late night.Sky was clear with shining stars.The whole city was asleep.On a corner of the terrace,the night could hear the breath of a small girl.The moon was so generous that his rays made her eyes shiny all the night.she laid down on the terrace floor.Now she could only see the sky. she felt as if an artist drawn a painting for her.She was looking at the star on her west.It was unique among others and was so attractive.Her cheeks were blushing and was sharing something to him.she was afraid that the other stars would hear it.All of them looked at her keenly.

She was smart.but she had no friends.She didn't have much secrets either.She believed Secrets are the foundation for many relationships.The only relationship with a human kind was with her family.

"Ain...why don't you have any friends?" She heard the voice of the star she was staring at.

Her eyes blinked many times,trying to find an answer.Her tongue and lips were confused to use the words.

"I..I..think..people don't like me.they calls me a nerd.They don't want me..." She was searching for the words to answer him.But she was not able to complete.

"I like you.I can be with you all the time.."He was a bit more shiny now. His words could heal her heart.

"hey...can i call you as Westy?"

She was too friendly with him.She was sure that her friend will be happy with this name.He smiled.

"do you have any secrets?Ca..Can you keep secrets? 

she murmured silently.

"yeah..crossed my heart too." He gave the assurance she needed.

"aww..you heard that too..? I don't have any secrets..and how can i create one..?" She asked politely

But her doubts were not answered.Because she could only hear what she knows.Everything she felt as his answer was from her heart only.

But she kept sharing her dreams.She was crazy dreaming of sky diving.but all she want was to touch her secret admirer.

Ain continued sharing her thoughts and dreams for the next many days.She never shared it with her family.she thought that they won't allow her to meet him again.

One night,Ain stepped silently to the terrace.She wore a white scarf as a veil and white cotton indoor slippers,so that her mom couldn't hear her footsteps.She looked like an angel and was so happy to see him.But something went wrong on the sky.It was cloudy.The darkness scared her.She looked for Westy. Everything was in vain.Her eyes filled.Each drops of tear carried the memories of Westy and burst out.

She heard a voice from those darkness.."This is how a new secret is born."

Ain kept this incident untold and her secret admire was safe in her heart as a Secret.She was aware that Secrets can be a secret only when it is not shared.
