People think everything is over with one bad situation. But I believe, everyone's life will be okay with one miracle. All we should do is... we must wait for the miracle. I'm Nick, Nicky Harris. In my story, you can see how tragedy my life have been...
We both sit on a bench at my favorite park where I used to visit with my mom.
Max looks at my face anxiously, "Oh! Great. Do you really forget this, Nick? Today is my birthday. Are you coming to my home for the birthday party or not?"
"Oh! Yeah, I'm so sorry, Max. Happy birthday", I have wished him ordinarily with my pale face.
He's disappointed totally and have lost his anxiety. He even turns his face and folds his arms.
"How sad! Today is the happiest day of mine, that too I came for visiting you, and in the end." Max by rolling his eyes. "I received the worst wishes of my life. Very poor."
I turn towards him to concern. I feel sorry cause I made him upset.
"Ok, don't try to look cute. Anyway, I asked your dad to bring you. In case you have any plan to skip, I will kick your ass". He has warned me.
"Okay, I'll join your party, Max. Happy?" I smile at him.
Max is the only one who tries to cheers me up all the time. So I have to do something for him. Because I don't want to lose such a great friend in my life.
"But please, put off this tragic scary face. I'm waxed to look it", requests weirdly.
"Ok, Max sir. Any more conditions sir?", I grinned at him.
"Hmmm?" Looking upward, he draws me near to him with his hand on my shoulder and asks, "Why you became like this, my friend? You can share with me anything, which is bothering you. I will ditch that problem".
His words lead me to soothe. My glance attracted quickly by a little girl playing with a ball along with her mother in front of me. That scene has taken me to my memories with my mom. My hands unconsciously have reached my pendant.
"What do you know about life and death, Max?"
My question keeps him confuse but he tries to reply. "It's very easy to answer, you know?" He has started to explain as if he's a most experienced and mature guy.
"My elder sister wants to become a Doctor. She said death means when our heart stops beating then 'the end' board will fall for our life. I think everything depends on our heart. So, the heart is our life, and also, start hearing your heart."
Staring at my pendant, "Then listen, what I want to share is, my mom is my heart, my life. Without life, she's a dead body, alike without her, I'm a lifeless body."
He has remained calm for a second and then, "Don't worry. I will be by your side. Wait, hearing to you, I have realized myself a dead body too. Cause, volleyball is my life, and wants to play passionately to become a champion but my mom ceased me. Even my dad and my sisters everyone are dead bodies. My dad's life is to get freedom. He wants to make his own decisions on his own but my mom ceased him too. She didn't stop there. My elder sister Lina's life is to become a doctor. But my mom wants to make her a businesswoman. My younger sister Lisa's life is modeling. But my mom wants to make her a Chatted Accountant".
I have astonished for his speech, "Then, what about your mom Mrs. Miller, Max?"
He takes a deep breath and keeps his arms and his head down. "Better to say Mrs. killer. She is the only one who is alive", he keeps helpless expression by glancing at me. "Cause her life is makeup and mirror. By taking other's life she's living a long life." He takes a glance at the sky. "God really has been blessing her very well. You know? What my father said? 'Listen! My boy. Treasure won't open for the poor once like us'." He has repeated as his father do. "Always backtalks. You know? Sometimes, she looks like a monster", he starts to act like a monster by jumping here and there in front of me and making sounds "Ehhhh... Eehhhhh" and his leg slips suddenly and he falls down.
Saying, "No Problem" and gets up. He has tried to manage his pain, which is clearly seen on his face. I giggle at him. Noticing my smiling face he again starts to act the same. His deeds lead me to burst in laughter. Now, I'm laughing for the first time after many days.
"Stop the nonsense, Max", an angry lady's voice has come, behind of us. It is Max's mom, Mrs. Karen Killer, sorry Miller.
"But, mom..." Before he completes his explanation, "Enough. come with me," asks max to escort her while doing touchup on her face.
She takes him away from me. Max is right. She's certainly seems, not less than a monster with her heavy makeup. Max turns back, smiling and waving at me. His looks itself saying that he's gonna wait for my arrival at his birthday party. My father amazed to see me focus on making a greeting for Max. Even Max likes my greeting card.
"Thanks for coming and for this wonderful greeting, Nick". Max hugs me while thanking.
His smile remain me of my mother when I have given a greeting to her. Again, Mrs. Karen comes there and takes him away from me. I never imagined taking Max away from me is a sign of leaving me. Later I came to known that he's going abroad for further studies. Even though he's apart from me, he frequently posts letters, gifts, and greetings to cheer me up.
One fine day, dad comes with a lady and surprises me. "What are you looking, Nick? Greet your mom".
I shock to see them, "No, never. No one can be my mom except my own mom. Do you understand, dad?"
I rudely react at them. I rush fast to my room with a serious face and shut the door hard, wantedly has made noise, so that dad will understand what my anger means. I sit down at my door and lean on the knees of my folded legs and mutter myself as 'I don't want anyone. Only Fairy doll, Mom's pendant, and me. That's enough'.
