UNLUCKY
UNLUCKYPeople always pray for happiness , happiness that can be in any form .... money , studies , love , health whatever it may be .....we all know that God will be fair , he will give happiness for those who really deserve ....but for Luhan he chose to do things differently it's not like he don't deserve to be happy , it's just he wanted to play with the boy ,
it started from the moment he formed in Womb
She cherished the little life inside her , when doctor said that she is weak and if she gave birth , her life will be at risk , she just smiled and choose the baby over her life , she can't kill the little life inside her , every time she felt the kick , her heart skipped a beat , that little kicks reminded her love , who is now looking into her eyes smiling in the form of photo , a single drop of tear slowly traced it's way out of her eyes
That day she was waiting for her husband to tell the good news to him , to tell him that he is going to be father,to see the smile in his face,to see the joy in his eyes ,she waited ... but instead a phone call came , everything crashed, when she got that phone call , the eyes which she wanted to see happiness was now closed , the lips that she wanted to see the smile.. permanently sealed , now he is peacefully lying buried deep the ground , but sowed a little life inside her
God took his father's life that day and gave his life
she stood before the mirror looking at her baby bump , slowly caressing the bumb
"I love you so much lu" she whispered… the next kick was so hard , she didn't cry , instead she smiled and cherished the pain , this pain will be the last memory that she is going to have , this pain is the evidence of her love
Her eyes watered her hearing the first beautiful cry of her baby , she wanted to hold the little joy in her hands , kiss his beautiful cheeks , she want to say him how much he is loved , a little smile made way to her lips , she closed her eyes , she looked like she was sleeping but she chose to sleep forever
"Sorry madam we tried our best but...we can't save the mother "
god took his mother's life and made him survive
A little boy with black hair was sitting in the sand, his eyebrows were crouched , little fingers carefully moulded the sand , then he smiled cutely ... looking at what he had done
"Grandma , grandma look here , I built this house , how is it ?", the little boy asked looking at the old lady
She smiled at the cute 5 year old boy who is giggling , Luhan was little small for his age , he is a gift of love , a beautiful evidence of love , .. .The memory still fresh in her mind , the day when they gave her the new born wrapped in the sterilized towel in a tiny bundle , the little baby was looking at her with big eyes , she gently nudged her index finger in the newborn's fisted hand , the fingers slightly unclasped and once again clasped tightly holding her fingers ,
she smiled
"It's beautiful Luhan" , she ruffled his hair
He giggled "that tickles grandma" , he said
She scooped the boy and kissed his chubby cheeks , "You are soo adorable lu" , the old women cooed at the little boy
"Lu it's getting late shall we go" she asked in a tender voice
The boy nodded his head his hair bouncing together ," grandma... grandma , shall we eat ice cream" , he asked with a pleading doe eyes
"How could I not say yes to my Luhan" , she said slightly pinching the boys cheek , the boy was so adorable , she will do anything to see that smile in his eyes
They reached the ice cream shop , bought Luhan's favourite ice cream and sat on one of the table . Luhan immediately started eating his ice cream . He smiled at his grandma and he just turned his head , because in his peripheral vision he saw something colour full
Luhan's eyes Twinkled looking at the balloon vendor on the opposite side of the road , but he didn't ask for the balloon like a normal kid does , he just smiled , looking at the different colours of balloon
"Luhan" , the old woman called
"Do you want those balloons?" she asked gently
"No grandma , I'm a big boy , I don't play with balloons" the lad Said shaking his head
"wait here I'll go and get you a balloon "
" No grandma , don't go" he pouted ," then your ice cream will melt" , he said
"Then eat mine if I was late ok ??" She said ,
they were regular customer of the shop , so leaving the little boy is not a problem
Luhan eating his favourite ice cream with a smile , enjoying each and every spoon
"Luhan " someone called
the lad turned and looked , it was the shop owner . Mrs park , her eyes were red , she came and slowly kneeled before the small boy
" luhan , your grandma , she..she is in hospital"
the little boy blinked , " why did she went there....aunty , she told me that she is going to buy ballons for me "
she can't answer anything , how could she tell this small boy that his grandmother is no more in this world, how she could explain this little boy what is a heart attack , how she is going to explain to this innocent soul , she hugged the boy close
" luhan , she went to buy the balloons that you asked for ,but suddenly god wanted to meet her so she went to meet him ok?"
the little boy smiled brightly , "really aunty?", he asked with big eyes full of excitement, "yesterday i prayed to god to give lots of happiness to grandma" , he said and clapped his little hands
"will she be happy aunty?" , he asked excitedly
"she will be very happy luhan"
he is very excited to show his grandma the new suit aunt park bought him ,they came to the avenue were the last rituals are going to be held , when he entered the large hall he saw that everyone is crying luhan can't understand why everybody is crying ,
he is very excited to see his grandma after two day , he had lots of things to say her. he excitedly looked for his grandma , 'but why she is sleeping in a little box, she won't be comfortable right' , he thought and went near his grandma.
"grandma" he called , "grandma why are you sleeping here ?", he waited for the old woman to open her eyes and answer his question like she always does , when he got no reply from his grandmother he pouted ,
"why are you not speaking to me grandma" he asked , "grandma look at my new cloth is it nice ?, do you like it?" , he asked excitedly , thinking that she will open her eyes to look at him , "please grandma open your eyes and look at me"...he pouted
the scene broke everyone's heart....the boy was begging to the peacefully lying old women to open her eyes
Mr's park went near the boy "Luhan" she called "I told you na , that she went to God , so hereafter she will be staying with god ok ?" She asked softly
The little boy pouted more , "can't she Visit me atleast for once?" , he asked with an eager eyes
"Luhan.... listen carefully" , she said "do you know that God will take good people with him?" She asked
He nodded , "yeah aunty , grandma said that God took my mama and papa because they are very good" he said
Mrs park's eye watered listening to the little boy , how he is going to react when he understand the meaning of death , what will he do ,
"just like that God took your grandma also lu , so she won't come back ok ??"
The boy became silent , he can't understand anything , 'why God is taking everyone from him , but not him , is he bad' , his big eyes watered , tears started spilling from his eyes
"Aunty then why he is not taking me?" he asked "Aunty , Am I a bad boy ? is that why he took mama papa and grandma from me"
The lady can't answer this question , the boy was so pure and innocent to exposed to these kind of situations
"No Luhan it's not like that , he wants you to be here , so that you can be happy and can grow to be a big boy"
But the boy was still crying
"Won't she come ?" He asked
"Yes Luhan she can't "
It's been 5 years since his grandma died...now he knows the meaning of death , now he knows why his grandma can't come back , now he also know what it is to be alone
after his grandma's death , he was sent to an orphanage...at first he didn't understand the meaning of orphan ....when days went by he slowly understood the meaning of an orphan , he understood he is an orphan .... he don't have anyone
One day he overheard some kids talking about him , they were saying that he is a bad luck and those who are with him will die because of it ,that day he realised..... if only his grandma stayed with him that day , if only his mother didn't have gave birth to him , they will be here living happily , they will be alive , is it all because of him? , is it because he is unlucky? .
'Unlucky' the words imprinted in his heart like inscriptions in stone , that day onwards he started isolating himself from everyone
Every night Luhan cried , cried for his mama , cried for his papa , cried for his grandma , even though he knows that they are not going to come back...the word 'unlucky' sculpted deep inside his heart , each and every night little whispering of 'sorry for being unlucky' could be heard
The 10 year old boy was silently sitting in the swing , looking at the two little kids playing before him , they were trying to built a sand castle , but the sand kept sliding , it reminded him of his grandma , the last day he saw his grandma's smile
One of the two kid started to cry as the sand kept sliding , the little kid remained himself when he was small , he slowly hopped from the swing , and went near the kids , and sat near
