Half Burnt Beautiful
#WritcoStoryPrompt6
I can never forget the joyous days of my childhood, especially the summer when all we did was swim in the river or lie on it's edge.
Oh! those days were so amazing,so special.
Just fun all the days, no worries,no tension nothing. Hearing stories from grandma and sleeping for long hours.
Of all that joy and happiness one day my grandma told me the story about a beautiful lady. So beautiful that no one wants to be like her.
Why grandma if she is so beautiful why know one wants to be like her. She replied oh dear because of her scar. Scar! I asked surprisingly, then how can she be beautiful with the scars.
For many days I kept searching for the girl or woman who has scars but found nothing.
How can anyone be beautiful with scars?
After many days just wondering in my thoughts I watched towards the sky and something clicked into my mind.
I ran towards my grandma,and started insisting her to complete the story.
She wasn't in a mood but couldn't say know to me because I am her only grand daughter.
Oh my dear Neena it's just a story, after all this time you still thinking of her.
Yes! grandma I want to hear the complete story. Ok!Ok let's sit.
She sat and put my head on to her laps and started the story. She started, in such a way that she herself was that lady. So let's begin.
"Of all that scars, my scar is considered to be very beautiful.Without my scars my life has no meaning. Although I wasn’t born like normal people,neither my life has been so easy.
Whenever,there is a talk about about scars i am set as an example.As the time passed on,I got so famous that even the poets started giving examples about my scars in their poetry.
Sometimes,I think the world owes me.They really do, I mean how without my permission anyone can take my name at any place. It makes my mom very angry, she gets more heated up every time she hears my name.
Every time I ask her about my scars, but get no answers.She doesn’t want to speak about it.Every time I get the answers its a long story, she says no one will ever understand the reality about your scars.
Every night I ask my mother to take me into her arms as her breath keeps me cold and shiny.
I have many siblings but none are so beautiful with scars like me,actually they are spotless. Every time I look down and see what’s going on there, what’s beneath the earth, what is beneath the waters.Is life as exciting as up here? I can’t tell about my age, but as I am growing my attraction doesn’t goes unnoticed. Young,old,men, women everyone inspires my beauty. Where ever I go, people keep gossiping about me.Even if they see my shadow lik an arc very thin they get so mad they started celebrating like its festival. My life is not normal now every one wants a piece of me.
Thanks to my owner the place where I work he is richest of all. And all of us given proper security, so no one can touch us. I always do night shifts, I work in a light house. My job is to provide a proper path for each and every sailing boat or any padestrian passing by. Sometimes I feel my life has no meaning but when I see myself from others point of view,I think I do an honorable work. Showing clear and right path is not any easy task.
People get confused about what they have suffered in there lives, they don’t realize what they are going through will make them stronger.
Its a common sayings now a days that “if you are burried it doesn’t mean you are dead” it can also means you will grow like a strong tree which will have many branches and will give shade to many.
Although my life has seen many ups and downs but whatever today I am, I am because of that.
Now I will tell you my name,my name is Moon,Sun is my mother and other planets are my siblings. Every night I take light from my mom which is sun, and the light house i work is situated in skies. My owner is God and I show lights to everyone in night.
Every poet gives examples about my beauty and man wants a spouse like me. This is my story and i am beautiful with my scars.."
Oh the lady is the moon . Oh!!yes dear who else can be so beautiful as the moon. Giving lights to everyone when it's dark.
Universe has many stars,many planets some of which are still yet to be discovered. But none of them are as shiny as moon. But we never know where other moon is lying in the corner of the world.
If you have a scar don't be scared or loose confident, you don't know if you are the moon in some ones eye.
