Tree pov:
I heard some footsteps coming towards me and opened my eyes to look. I saw couple of women running towards me with open arms. I was shocked initially but when they came near me i could see the same facial features which i know, i tried to remember.
*Its them, they are the twins in our house.* my brain suggested me.
Yes that's right they are none other than my twins. My twins.. I looked at them who had tears full in their eyes and running towards me. And as usual i thought that was just my dream and closed my eyes again.
*hey wake up you idiot. Till now you cried for them and when they are here you are closing your eyes and sleeping??* my brain screamed at me.
I just prayed god that if i'm just dreaming i would never want to wake up but my annoying brain disturbed me which made me open my eyes but once I felt their hug i could feel nothing but happiness. I missed them so much. They started cleaning the tree house and surrounding area and placed their luggage inside. I wondered if they stay with me here but there is nothing that could provide them minimum food. My thoughts were interrupted when i heard
"do you remember the flower crowns which we gave to our fairy on the rainy day?"
"yes, Of Course i remember"
"the flowers weren't dried and how is that even possible.?"
"there are no trees and plants alive except our's and these flowers in flower crowns also look fresh as if they have just been plugged out of the plant. I'm not able to understand how that's possible" said one of the sisters.
"on that day both you and I placed the crown to a branch together" I replied
"okay"
"these plants are fine too"
"you mean you have touched them?"
"yeah"
They walked out of tree house immediately with a worried expression. They ran far away until they looked too small and finally disappeared. I wish i could speak to them.
Ella pov:
We ran until we found completely cracked soil and far away from our tree house. I touched it but nothing changed. My twin also touched it and the result was same. Then suddenly i remembered that in childhood we used to do everything together so why not try together.
I held my sister's hand and we both touched the soil, nothing happened but after few minutes we saw a tiny leaf growing out of it.
Though that scared us a bit we were more than happy. We both immediately ran towards our tree house and packed everything to return to home and tell everyone about it.
Tree pov:
I actually thought they were scared of and ran from here but i was happy seeing them coming back. But they packed and immediately went away from me.
That evening entire family were here actually. I was happy seeing mom, dad and twins. It just completes the family. When twins explained their father about flower crown and soil i was shocked. But her parents felt happy and started to bring lots and lots of different plants and both twins planted them... which turned into a beautiful garden and after few years it turned into a big forest. But the most beautiful thing that has happened to me is to become the member of my family again.
*congrats for that* my brain chirped happily.
I thanked and watched everyone cook and eat together like a picnic spot.
The end😊
