Till death

Great Britain 18th century where men had more rights than women lived a damsel who wanted to experience her youth differently but with her having a noble title she was discouraged eventually to the point of not wanting to peruse the dreams she had. Her life was nothing more than hardships. Oh she said laying in her sickbed,”how wonderful would it be if only I could have enjoyed my childhood like any other normal kid, oh if only I was not born with a incurable disease”, and once again continued her day by laying in bed and envying others. A few days later, were she to get news of the demise of her parents. It left her more disheartened than ever she was. Eventually as the day passed the funereal for her dead parents was held. She kept on crying and crying till her tears were dry, the more she cried the more weak she felt. Standing in the balcony of her room crying like a helpless child in the dark starry sky, shouting out all loud with her cracking voice ,”Oh my lord, at least sympathise with me now am I no longer your creation, am I no longer wanted that I’m to be abandoned by everyone, With this weak body of mine, no longer any parents and no longer anyone to call mine ,I’m left alone , help me my lord, look at this side of mine,” she cried and whimpered all night to her god and eventually she slept without thinking what would occur tomorrow. As she woke up, she got to know how her paternal aunt was planning to use her into taking the legal documents which once belonged to her father and eventually later on selling her to harlots. Not that she had anyone to rely on or go to, she decided to leave that house and stay somewhere isolated. As she was passing by shops and watching families pass by, she could not help but cry. She walked and she walked envying people who were laughing and giggling watching herself being desperate for that happiness while she was walking without realising where she is taking her path too she came across a forest. The rays of the sun passing through the leaves of the trees, the cold grass and a slightly warm wind, with the chirping of the birds and away from noisy town. She then saw a rather small animal and in amazement she followed until she reached a beautifully shining pond with nothing except lilies and leaves on it. She was thirsty and it was time for her to eat her medicine. Her sick body could no longer hold herself and she began panting rapidly and eventually fainted near the pond. After few hours she woke up and said, “oh my lord my body is numb but enough for me to stand if only I could find some cottage near, I’m desperate please help me,” and she stood but fell at that sudden moment she heard someone chatting near her. She got scared thinking it could be people sent from her aunt and she hurriedly crawled and luck got on her side and she saw a small cottage. She mustered up all the strength she had and got up and went inside the place was warm, and the fire pit was on, knowing it was a sin to break into that house but she was desperate and she sat there for some time with the small luggage she brought with her and took a place on the couch near the fire pit, she felt warm and slept with her rumbling stomach. As time passed by night came and a lady who seemed to be in her 30s came and saw her.She didn’t decide to wake her, seeing the condition of her pale face and dirty clothes she pitied her and started making food. By the noise of someone working she woke up and got scared and apologised to the lady for trespassing her house. The lady was quite kind and told her it’s fine and gave her clean clothes to wear and told her to shower and then eat with her. After she took a shower and wore clean clothes, and started to eat, she said,”what’s your name if you don’t mind to tell me, and what happened to you but it’s completely fine if it’s hard for you to tell. The girl said,” my names lithia and im 17 year old, I ran away from my house after the demise of my parents. My aunt decided to sell me to a brothel and covet all the stuff which once belonged to my father, I no longer had anyone so I ran away and saved myself from that miserable place, I have wasted my time staying inside my Whole life so I’m unaware of worldly things,if only you coudl take me in for some time and I’ll leave this place.” Hearing the story of the girl the lady came in tears,pitying the girl and telling her to stay as long as she wants. She consoled the girl and told her that her youth just started and she shouldn’t waste her time holding onto the past and think about her future,since time doesn’t stop since you desire for it too. The girl then went to bed,spending the whole night without taking a wink of sleep thinking rather deeply,gathering all the events and thoughts together and said,”how dreadful is my situation, how could I simply move on the night might be long but it doesn’t stay forever,I must gather all my plans and thoughts,wait how perfect it would be if I write my thoughts somewhere,” and she rummaged through the stuff on the table and took a blank page and a pen. She started noting down whatever she could think off and said,”oh amusing are these thoughts andif I become financially stable and go to France oh what a dream come true it would be ahhh if only my god wills,if I’m thinking of taking some profession I should think about it I could be a lawyer but girls aren’t really allowed to do that *sigh* rather disappointing, Why don’t you use the knowledge god has bestowed upon you and well write novels and poems and stories,oh my my, how wonderful and exciting it sounds,and maybe I could change my name to that of a boy so I could be better off with the rights boys have, when could possibly this world change, women surely aren’t treated rightly our rights really are goners ,how terrible everything is.” She talked all night to herself laughing and giggling,crying and sighing until she fell asleep When the lovely lady knocked on the door and didn’t get a respond she got frightened and rushed inside only to see lithia with smudged ink and pages around her. The lady was feeling really warm and having nostalgic feelings when she looked at lithia the rays of sun passing thru the curtains and lithias blonde hair shining as bright as sun, as if the sun was blessing her by shinning it’s light on her head,the lady said,”what a blessed and fortunate child, a child favoured by god, may you always smile and shine.” Although at that moment the lady felt like it would be right thing to say but her blessing didn’t last that long. A few months later when lithia was finally happy, with a improved health and a past which is long forgotten, smiling rather radiantly and helping the lady in house chores. The polite lady collapsed,Lithia ran towards the lady only to see the lady having trouble breathing,she cried and the lady left the world. Lithia no longer had any hope in herself. She decided to die too. At that time she took a knife went to the nearest river. She when reached shouted while smiling and crying and said,” my god I’m finally leaving this world what is here for me anyway,” she smiled looking at the state of herself and stood near the river and slashed her throat. The blood gushing out of the throat and her rather being happy. With her body sinking and feeling pain the every second she said,” if I get to live again don’t make me miserable,” with that on she reached the bottom of the river and her soul had passed to another world.

With that on a beautiful soul died at age 20 a soul that was a meaningful soul and taught how life doesn’t only mean sickly in terms of health but also financially,emotionally,and mentally. Happiness doesn’t stay with you forever it is meant to leave you time by time and just like how I took her soul it surely is sad, but such favoured souls deserve the hereafter , away from the hardships of the world, someone shouted, ,”hey reaper if your done with those moments put that book in the realm of memories and let’s move on, there’s plenty u can sympathise too ,” I hope she is happy now in the gardens of heavens, with that the celestial book “moment of life” was put down with other life moments.
