Into The Reality

Chapter-6:A whiner who wants to be loved.

In a far away planet.
"Mom, Dad I'm here." Small Saas opened the door and ran towards his Mom.
"Why do you stop playing with the kids. Are you injured. Come here." Saas's mom asked him. Saas went to his mom.
"No mom they said there is no one's playing today come back tomorrow." Saas said with smile. Hearing that his mom and dad looked each other with sadness.
"Go to you room dear I will make you some snackes." Mom said. Saas happily went to his room.
"Why they doing this to my child?" Saas's mom said to dad and cried. Dad comforts her.
"Don't cry every thing will be alright. Just don't let him play with other children for a while." Dad said.
"How? Every day early in the morning he runs to the ground. And every day he comes back saying the same thing. They avoids him like a street animal. Why? Because he is ugly? My boy just born that way. To me he is the most beautiful person in the world.
"Mom said while crying.
"Yeah I know but we can't do anything. Do you remember what the villagers said when he born. 'He is cursed that's why he have three eyes' they said and a bastard even told me to kill him because he is the child of a demon. I wanted to cut that bastards neck. If only my brother isn't the village head I would burn this village down." Dad said with anger.
"I know but every children enjoying, playing around but our son... " Mom said. "Just not think about it and make Saas a good snack okay." He said to her kissing her forehead and went out. In the next day also he went to play but same thing happens. Saas runs to home and sat near his mother. She was cleaning the plates. "Mom?" Saas called her with a soften voice.
"Yeah dear what is it?"

"Am I ugly?"

Saas asked to her. Hearing this all of a sudden shocked her and a plate dropped from her hand and shattered. She came to Saas and hugged him.
"Who said that?" She asked while holding back tears.
"Today I went to play and they said there's no one playing today. So I walked back here then someone said no one's gonna play with you ugly demon. Is he right mom?" Saas said with sad.
"No he was jocking. Look at you who will say such things looking at your face. You are so beautiful." Mom said with a smile. "Really?" Saas asked with happiness. "Yeah really but not beautiful than your father though." His mother said and laughed along with Saas. In the next day he went to the playground. The children were already started playing. Seeing this Saas runs to them happily.

"Look he is coming again. Jeez, how many times do we have to tell him let's end this today leddi." A boy said to another boy in the group.
"Ohh.. Today you are playing. Thank god. Come let's play." Saas said to them.
"How many times do I have to tell you. No one's going to play with you. Did you ever looked at the mirror you ugly demon." The boy called leddi said and laughed. Everyone laughed along with him.
"Ha.. Ha. I know you are jocking. Put that aside. Don't waste time let's play." Saas said to him.
"Didn't you hear what I just said. Just seeing you giving me creeps. Everybody throw rocks at this demon." Leddi said and every body starts throwing stones at him. Saas ran in pain. The children was about to ran behind him but a girl stopped them.
"What are you doing guys just leave him alone." She said to them.
"Yeah yeah strongfold ordered everyone. Return." Leddi makes fun of her. She doesn't cared and ran behind Saas. Saas ran so long and sat near a river crying. He looked at his reflection in the water and cried.
"I like your eye though. It's really pretty." Som came near Saas and said.
"Go away. Do you want to throw stones at me too." Saas said to her.
"Why? I'll never do that." She sat near Saas.
"You're lying. I know I'm ugly." Saas said crying.
"No.. Look at me" She put her hands on his cheeks and said.
"You're beautiful."
"But they said... " Saas said.
"Who are they to judge you. That's their perspective. Everybody called you ugly cause their minds are ugly. What's the problem having three eyes? You can see this world more beautiful than them." She said with a smile. Saas also smiled. "My name is Som. Nice to meet you." She said to Saas.
From the next day onwards they played together. Every day Saas came to his home smiling. His mom and dad also became happy.
"I think he got friends. Whoever they are may God bless them." Saas's mom said to dad.
"Yeah.. I'm really happy." Dad said while holding back his tears. Months passed.. One day Saas and som were sitting near river side.
"Saas I'm tired I'm going back." Som said to Saas.
"No. Sit here for a while."
"Oh.. You didn't like I'm going eh... Do you miss me that much?" Som teased him. "No that's... Not it..." Saas said.
"Look at you blushing. Just admit it." Som said with laugh.

"I... I lov-" Saas was saying something. But Suddenly they saw so many children running.
"Why are you running?" Som asked them loudly.
"THEY arrived in the town." A boy said while running.
"They?" Saas and Som looked each other and said. Then they ran to the town.
