[ "Sometimes the heart sees
What is invisible to the eyes." - By H. Jackson Brown, Jr. ]
It's dawn when a new day is gonna start. Somewhere someone's gonna start a new life for the dusk of yesterday....
They are standing together holding their hands by the side of the blue ocean. They are watching the sunrise with aspirations and dark desires. They both don't know where to start and how to. They are falling for each other where there is no hope for them. But this desire, when it turns into obsession, passion, whether it's legal or not, whether there is hope for them or not, doesn't matter anymore.....
Cold Wind is blowing, whirling, making hissing sound...then the environment changes...it's no blue ocean anymore but the blue lake....She can see the huge tree...and beside her that boy...and absolutely she knows him....and he knows her....
Now WHAT IS IT!!! He is turning to her...
NO...not only him but also she....
They are both turning face to face for each other and then it turns like they are going to hug and kiss closer enough to....
[Smash!!]
The window cracked, the wind howled and Rain poured in through the screen, drenching the mat beside her couch...
She woke up with a shock and was alarmed enough because...in front of her she could clearly see the window is opened...and the curtain is blowing with the stormy air...but she could clearly remember that she has closed it...she insists her mind that she did, if so then how is it remain opened...or maybe someone opened it..."Oh! My.", she whispered with a bitterness and immense pressure....
After having that unreal dream she can't even think what's gonna happen now. Because, she now firmly believes whatever she sees in her dream, at the end of the day, it comes true.. forming into reality. Before meeting the boy, she had seen him in her dream , like a week ago. And the most strangest thing, this sort of supernatural fact got into her life, as she met a weird, old and awful woman in the street, on the day of their arrival, in this Welberk town. They stopped by as their car's wheel was punctured and they had to come out of the car. While standing on the road, an old woman approached to Riana, the old woman was using a walking stick that's not so easily seen everywhere. So, it concluded like her getup was pretty weird and unconventional for this contemporary age. But, that was the least shocking, the fact of her existence made the situation more peculiar, when she came almost near enough to her as she whispered into her ear saying,
"A past hidden in darkness.
Her present cloaked in secrets.
The future holds the only Truth that
cannot be escaped....."
After saying, her strange gaze stayed upon Riana for a second, then she turned backwards, moved and started to walk her own way .After a little bit, the car being alright, she had to get into the car and the journey again began....
In car, Riana who was laughing a lot with her family , cracking funny jocks and making moments, fell into a ocean of silence, her mind was somewhere else, she couldn't understand why she was still kept thinking about that old woman, but her mind somehow felt the depth of those saying and she heard those before from a person, who was close to her and so not old rather young and beautiful, it was her late mother....
[“SCREEEEEECH!”]
The car screeched to a halt in front of their new home. Riana got out from the car and laid her eyes upon the greenery which surrounded them. A old, wooden cottage was there barely seen from behind the big home , standing in front of them.
"Ughh!", Beth almost yelled.
As she was running, she almost fell onto the ground.
"Slow down, Beth!".
Mom was running behind her to catch her back.
"Do you remember this place, Rosy?" Dad asked her.
"No. Why? Did we come here before?" She was in great suspense....
[ Well...And now we are!
In ancient Greek mythology, Acheron was known as the "river of woe", and was one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld. Though the name "Acheron" is also used the Lawful (Neutral) Evil Outer Plane in Dungeons & Dragons, however it is described as consisting of a huge number of iron cubes of varying size, instead of a river. There are more interesting facts about underworld in Greek mythology, it's said that the Greek god Hades, himself was a avaricious (greedy) deity, whose sole purpose was to increase the number of souls in his kingdom; at the same time, he was very reluctant to let any soul leave. The Erinnyes were welcomed in the Underworld.
For most souls, life in the underworld was never particularly unpleasant. It was rather like being in a miserable nightmare, full of darkness, ill-lit and desolate, barren of hope; a joyless place where the dead slowly faded into nothingness.
I now remember a quote that touched me once, now I write it for Riana. The quote was,
"The biggest suspense
of today's life is that
You don't know who is
'praying' for you
and
who is 'PLAYING' with
you" -(By unrevealed person) ]
