The Purple Kite with Yellow Stripes
So,you know,its pretty simple.
A blue sky,a purple kite,with yellow stripes,it does look stupid I assure you but she have never seen anything so fascinating,so free like that kite ever in her life.
When she looked up at the sky,the wind kissed her cheeks and welcomed her.She was quite worried, thinking that she don't belong here but yet,the sky made her feel like at home.
No matter from which angle you see it,its always the same,the sky,but the kite,it made it look different this time.
When she stared at that purple kite,she wanted to chase it,and she chased it until her feet felt numb.She chased it out of her house,on to the road,out of the town,into the valley and towards the oak tree where it get strucked.
Why ?
Why would you get strucked now,taking me all the way here.You know it perfectly that I don't have the strength to climb up that gigantic,old tree but I would love to,then how am I going to rescue you.I want you to set free.I want you to go away,more and more,so I can see where you would end up,what kind of life would you live.
Why ?
Why in the middle of nowhere you would stuck like that,making me feel confused.
And then,
then she saw him,
someone she never saw before,
A smile so beautiful,she have never known it existed.
"Here,"
He gave it to her.
The string of the purple kite with yellow stripes.
"I took it out for you.You were looking at it pretty desperately.
I thought you might needed it so badly.
Something important to you ?"
And he didn't knew,that what something important to her,was right infront of her,and all that journey she thought was a waste,gave her... something important to hold on.
She took it from his hand,the string of the purple kite with yellow stripes,and stared at his face,with that beautiful smile and shining eyes,
"Important,it is...yes,
I-Thankyou.Thankyou so much.You have been such a help !"
"Well,"
He rubbed his head with his left hand,a bit confused about what he is thinking to ask right now.
"I-I live here,at the country side...am,never saw you before here....I think you are from out ?"
"Ah,yes,yes,..not from here"
"Then,would you... would you care to join me for a tea ?...would be nice to have an outside company..."
He smiled,trying to make a joke.
She giggled.
"Yea..sure..would love to have tea with an insider..."
She returned the joke.
He laughed.
They moved.
He guided him the way to a small hut,just a bit far.
She left the kite.
It floated.
It floated high with the wind.
Now it'll be where it needs to be.
It'll guide way to someone else now.
