////A Broken Dream\\\\
------------------------------------------
Not too long ago,in the days of the distant past,there was little village where all the people lived happily together.They worked hard together and played hard together.To them,everyday was the best day of their lives.
------------------------------------------
Inside the village,there lived a little boy who was not very sure of the people around him.No doubt he has friends around,but there was not anyone he could tell his deepest secret to.He keeps everything to himself and would only come out of his shell when people asked him to.This happens day after day,after day.
------------------------------------------
One day,a family from a neighbouring town moved inside the village.With them was a girl who was around the little boy's age.To the boy, he just hoped that he would get along well with them.But he will never guess what will happen to him.
------------------------------------------
When the two of them met,there was not a special moment.It all seemed normal.Just a meeting between two strangers who would be ultimately become friends.They met each other and talked to each other.Growing in frequency with the amount of time they are together.Then one day,out of the blue,the little boy realised something.He realised that he liked her.
------------------------------------------
He never really knew how it happened.All that he knows is that he really does like her.More than just a friend,someone really special and important to him.The little girl got some hints of what he feels.But she did not respond to it in any way.She had just continued to treat him as a good friend,unsure of what to do.
------------------------------------------
After that fateful day,the little boy thought more and more about it,and the more he realised how important the little girl is to her.But the little boy never ever dared to say it out to her openly.He was afraid.Afraid of the bad things that will happen if it was ever revealed.Not seeing her again or her beginning to avoid him.Both are equally horrifying nightmares for the little boy.The little boy does not want this to happen at all.But what could he do?
------------------------------------------
Everytime he decided to tell the little girl the truth,he stumbled on that last minute.On the days he decided to tell her the truth,he decided to hide in his house.He was too afraid of losing it all.He was not afraid of her saying "no".He was very frightened that things will not be the same anymore and that feeling of awkwardness that will be in between them.So the day still did not come.Will that day ever come?Thought the little boy.
------------------------------------------
Then one day,the boy heard a terrible news.The little girl was moving again.This time to an another village just south of them.The two of them were going to be separated.The little boy was distraught.He was in a deeper mess now.He knew he had to tell the little girl now.Before it was too late and the little girl shifted house again.Are they going to drift further apart?Until the point that saying hello was just a formality?
------------------------------------------
So the little boy decided to throw aside all his fears.Losing the little girl through not doing anything was going to be more painful than the worries he had thought about if he told her his feelings.He did not want to lose her.The boy then decided to carve out he date he was going to confess on the log in front of his house.So that he will be reminded of the day that it will happen.The day loomed closer,and the little boy waits anxiously.
------------------------------------------
But the day did not arrive.Some times actions are too much more obvious than words and sayings.He knew that the little girl wanted things to stay as they are.He saw,he understood,he knew.And thus far he had decided to back off.Maybe she will not move away after all.
------------------------------------------
Alone by the swing,he started to think.Maybe it was all on my part.My foolish dreams,my inane desire.He never thought of the people around him.In the end,it was all about him.
------------------------------------------
Realisation.Let it be a bygone.Let it go.Clutching onto a fraying rope while hanging precariously from a precipice never resulted in any miracles.
------------------------------------------
And thus the little boy stayed in the village and to his surprise, the little girl stayed.Hopefully things can go back to the way they were for the two of them.
