A Fallen Star In Our Heaven
“Ma... Is Daddy a star
now?”
“The brightest one
amongst the billions”
“Will he ever fall?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m waiting for him
to fall Ma, so I can make a wish”
“And what would it
be?”
“To finish that
bedtime story....”
“What was the story
about?”
“About a father, who
promised to come back…?”
With a broken heart
and a stitched faith, she said...
“I know the story but
it has a different ending”
“Please Ma... tell me
the story... please”
“Look up.... What do
you see?”
“Stars”
“Which one you want it
to be your father...”
“Umm... the one over
there....the smallest and the brightest”
“What do we do about
the other stars?”
“Ask them to take a
good care of daddy and never to leave him alone”
“What would happen if
one day, he doesn’t shine?”
“Then I’ll chose a
different one and make him my daddy”
“Will you trust him?”
“I will....”
“Will you love him?”
“Always”
“What would you do if
he comes back right now?”
The little one gazed.
Smaller tears had bigger dreams to believe in....Her eyes already began looking
for her father but he was not there...yet.
“Where is Daddy? Where
is he ma?”
“Outside”
Her feet have had
wings and her faith had a sky to fly. But when she opened the front door...
“Hello Anya”
“Uncle Alex?”
She turned around with
questions in her head and heart...But in that moment she saw women with a
broken heart that had finally found the last piece of the puzzle. Anya
understood love that day...Anya found love that day...
“.....Anya....
child...I am so sorry....”
“Ma... There is a
fallen star at our door steps. I think your wish.... sorry...our wish is
granted.”
