So I had decided to spend my life in being the reason for people's happiness. I, just after the dream, got the idea of a non governmental organization, more like an orphan house which could be built with me as its owner. I was happy with my idea and without sharing it with anyone else, I went straight to my parents.
Here's what happened. After I woke up from the sad dream, I already had the feeling of a fresh start. I immediately washed my face and went downstairs where my parents were sitting watching the telly and most probably, their faces were telling, they were getting bored. I decided to begin in a cheerful tone of my voice, "Mom! Dad!" "Oh dear...What happened sweety, you seem happy!" my mom replied as if she was competing me in the voice tone thing raising her voice even louder. I said," Mom I am happy and i need want a favor from you both, I would love it if you could...er..um mm.....start the....construction of an...orphan house!" "O honey, Is everything alright, come here I think Carol's death is getting you crazy, or let me check your temperature...bring the thermometer from the study..Go."she replied in a rather 'typical mother' voice. "MOM! I am sincerely not kidding or messing up with you...OK? I really want Dad to add up an orphan house at some place, I bet your office mates will appreciate it dad. And whats wrong with it, I mean, so many buildings are constructed on monthly basis under your company then why not an orphan house belonging to me. Dad, I have realized how orphans would spend their lives, independent, helpless, tired every now and then, I have experienced the pain of staying away from home...can't you do it for me..?" I replied. "But Honey, there must be something going on in your mind when you came up with this generous idea, I think you have learnt Hatim Tayi at you school today, I guess?"my mom said.
"MOM! Please don't do this, I really want to spend my life being happy in the the happiness of the others, and help the helpless, the orphans who suffer when its not even their fault...!"
"Okay....So I understand now that why you want this to happen and I am going to try my best to fulfill this wish but don't be disappointed if I fail... OK?" my dad replied
The best thing about my dad is that whenever he promises or says something so he really tries his best to keep up his promises at any cost. My father came back after fifteen minutes which seemed like fifteen days to me, it was long waiting, patience is really not my thing. He had gone to make a call and then when he came back, he told us, "I talked to my office colleages and they were happy by the idea. They have further a lot of ideas for this project. But we have decided that the interior design will be planned by my young girl herself, so you can start planning. This will take alot of time, you must know, but I think my daughter can be patient enough for that as the result is going to be worth all her expectations," I was so delighted and couldn't wait to tell all my school mates but I thought it would be better as a surprise or more of a shock. So I started planning the interior with all bright coloured, decorated rooms and three floors in total, it all took eight months in total. All of my friends passed through the under construction building everyday but none of them knew that this massive thing belonged to someone they studied with everyday. When the project was complete, my father told me to think a name for it. My relatives who knew about this gave me a lot of advises about the name but i knew a perfect name for this thing.
"CAROLINE's HOME FOR ORPHANS"
I said in a rather announcing tone in front of all my relatives, at a get together and they all were extremely confused at my title but my parents and I knew what I was doing really well. I had got the idea from my dearest friend and it would be best to name it after her. I was really excited for the opening ceremony, that was to happen two days after. Finally the day came when my orphan house would open. This had took a lot of patience, and now my patience would give it's result. I was blissful, and took out my best dress for the ceremony it was to happen in front of the ground, all the street beggar orphan children from the nearby vicinity were coming, and now would dwell here in my lovely orphan abode. When I reached there in my father's glamorous black Prado, I was astonished to see the big crowd there. The door had a satin red ribbon tied with the sides and a scissor was there to cut the ribbon which was to be done by me. I felt special, everyone had their eyes on me as I was the owner of the orphan house for which's ceremony they had come. After cutting the ribbon, everyone shouted in a cheery tone. The lunch was savory and everyone enjoyed at the party. I was enjoying the same and after sometime sat at a place and started to think, how nice it would be if Caroline was with me now. Lost in my thoughts, I saw someone at a distance from me, It was CAROLINE! I was shocked, then I thought maybe it was a part of my imagination but then I pinched myself, and came back to the real world but the girl, most probably Caroline was still there. I stood up from my place at once and ran to the mysterious girl and asked, not at all in my senses, "You don't have cancer, do you?" She gave me an awkward look and said, "Excuse me, is that a question you ask when you first meet someone?" "O my God! I am so sorry but I happen to see that you have a wheaty skin complexion, not so similar to Caroline...." i said in half a whisper, "So you are...?" "I am Stacie Johnson and it is nice to meet you, and you are the orphan house's owner, are you Caroline, you know the name of the orphan house would be after you, I guess?" she replied in a 'caroline tone' and I said, "No no, I am Helen Stevens, and right you are I am the owner of this place but it is named after my best, dearest deceased friend who looked just like you that is why i asked you the question about cancer which i am sorry for, I hope we can be friends, Stacie?" "O why not? I'd love to...So I will see you?"she replied. "Yeah, see you. Which school do you go to, by thew way, I have never seen you before in this town?"
"Yes, I am new over here, I just shifted in yesterday, so I think I will be studying at Lowood...?"
"O that is my school and you seem like you are thirteen and if you really are we are the same class then?"
"Yeah I am thirteen...Now i will have to go so bye, I will see you at school."
"Yeah see you bye..."
I was even more happy, this girl looked and talked exactly like Carol, my new beginning really worked out and I found a wonderful new friend, she cannot take Carol's place, but Stacie was very nice and she's new!!! And I have helped a lot of orphans in this town now, Caroline must be really happy! :) :) :)
I hope you enjoyed the story as I have worked hard on it, I hope you liked the end and will leave your comments below. Thankyou so much! :)
