Actually, I'm home...?

Lavender, her childhood ended with such drastic conditions. Those were days where childlabour is acceptable. Both Theodore and Lavender began to survive with lot of courage together. They started living under the bridge.

There came a flood due to heavy rains. They lost their home and moved to the slum. At last Theodore found a place where there are no humans, no one would pass through that road. They made a shelter with the things they gathered. A small tent. Just enough to hide and protect themselves from sun and rain.

Soon after they reached a stage in their life where they understand each other without any misunderstandings. Theodore started to stay out for long time. That worried Lavender. She began to stay alone without him. She some times go to factory near their place to beg. Sometimes she goes to sell flowers she found in the dark cold mountains covered with snow.

One day she found Theodore on footpath. He is begging for food. She realized. He brings bread. A very big on which is enough to eat for a week. He is all bruised and bleeding sometimes. He never complained about anything. She never asked for anything. She just stay home and wait for him and does nothing to show him gratitude. She talked to herself convincingly as like he is a great person as he looks after her and felt guilty that she is not doing anything in return for both.

They just stayed together right from the moment they began to meet and started their friendship.

Lavender understood all the things and went home crying. She made herself strong and went looking for a job.

That made Lavender very thoughtful. Soon Lavender began to work in a hospital as a cleaner. Then she read a note written by a little boy in his death bed. That made her heart to break into pieces.

Actually, I'm home.

A poem to those who can understand.

U may think it is not poem actually but I can't help it as everyone has their own witty ends.

Then let me begin...

There were days,

I never, atleast neither a single day nor a single moment I felt like... it's enough with whatever I'm doing and go back to school. People around forcing me go to school. Mom and dad scolding to go school. Relatives tried so hard to motivate me that they ended up feeling pity on me and my future. Neighbors asked me if I'm on holidays?

But I'm stubborn, well enough that I ended up not going to school. I used up my days to see these cartoons and movies whole day and just lazying around.

Finally this day came that I felt "I want to go to school."

In spur of moment I wrote this poem and showed it to my mother. She actually cried by seeing it. That poems goes as

* Actually, I'm home?

Mom told me not to go to college today?

I guess there will be some earthquake today.

That little thing (my little brother) is also not home today.

Can I think, How blessed am I?

But I'm happy. *

Then doctor came in and said, "You don't have much time. I'm sorry." Then nurse came to show the report.

Report showed that I've muscular dystrophy.

So I donated my share of money to a boy who is unable to go to school because of his poverty.

Now I feel like I don't need to worry anymore.

So finally I'm home as like I wanted. I wonder how many days I can see my parents and my little thing.

💜💜💜

Lavender realized, she had good health and body. There is nothing she can be afraid of. There is nothing she can't do with her body. She looked her small tent and felt, " I'm really home. "

Her tears rolled down with happiness. Then Theodore came home. She went to him and hugged him tight. Theodore felt shocked. Coz she never take initiative in anything not even in talking. He felt something is wrong and held her in his arms and dried her tears. Caressed her cheeks. Then he asked her, " What happened, Lavender? "

She just snuggled into his broad chest. She told, " Theodore, I won't leave you in this life time. Whatever you do. "

Theodore is Dumbfounded and left speechless. He just hugged her and stood like a rock with warmthness.
