The Touch

Chapter - 1

Few years ago I was the one motivating and encouraging everyone to live though it hurts while breathing in oxygen. I wish everything was as usual like once it was. But now a days it's becoming really hard watching the same cold dark night and wake up only to hear that someone or the other die everyday with lack of food, water or oxygen.

Tomorrow is my 300th birthday, I wish I could receive the same birthday present I received 25 years ago and spending time with them. When ever I remember that day it only brings a smile on my face. 

*haa!!!! as if a tree can smile * my brain snapped at me.

I shooed my brain by telling that I can smile from my heart. Then I continued recollecting all the days I spent in this place which once I called home.  

I still remember every detail of my past clearly. It was always beautiful and people lived happily in the tree houses using the resources that were available. Every human living in that forest were so good that they never harmed anyone or anything for greed. They were all like a family who always cared for each other and used to spend time with each other. Everyone would be busy in their daily chores from the morning but during night they will all gather at one place and start to cook and eat dinner everyday after sunset. That place always looks like a happy picnic spot.

*really??!! how do you know, how does a picnic spot looks like?* my brain decided to interrupt me. 

Of Course i never saw it but i guess that's how a picnic looks like.

*and now do not disturb my thoughts* i replied faking anger.

*Stop faking anger* my brain snapped angrily.

I was confused and asked "how do you know about it?"

*of course I know because I'm your brain idiot* 😂😂

I apologized which it accepted.

Where did i stop. Yeah near picnic right...After few days a person started living in a tree house constructed on me. Though some parts of me were cut off but still i didn't feel sad for him. He always considered me as a family member too because, though I was capable of consuming the water from the surface through my roots he still used to provide me some water every morning and used to talk to me when ever he is happy or feels alone. I wish I had power to communicate with him.

After few days he got married and they were blessed with 2 cute kids(twins). But still then he and everyone continued treating me like their own family member. When the kids were around 2 and half years they were able to think, speak and analyse things around them.
