I WAS JUST SIX

Episode # 1

When I first saw her, my eyes were still there on her face. Her big brown eyes, her pinkish cheeks, her pure long black hair, the simplicity of her character, there was only innocence and kindness in her personality. The way she was carrying herself, she was covering her shiny long hair with a scarf on her head. I saw her hair when she was a child. When we usually play hide and seek together, we will usually be best friends. When she used to come on holidays, she felt protected from me except for our other cousins.

I didn’t think that she would be so pretty in the future. She is like a real star that shines around me. Every whenever I saw her, my eyes felt the brightness which came from her personality. That’s the beauty of her character. The way she speaks, the way she is kind and loving with everyone. She always cares about people, her loved ones. She even cares about everyone. She has always wanted to spread love and kindness since she was a child. She used to say that when someone smiles because of me I feel peace.

I saw her after ten years. She looks so different. Now she has grown up into a big girl. She is a perfect lady to spend a whole lifetime. She deserves the world and I want to give her the world she deserves. I want to be the man of her life who can love her the way she deserves. I want to see her every morning when I open my eyes and every night when I close them. I want to spend every happy moment with her and share every sad thing of my life with her. I want her by my side every time. I think, yes, my heart is saying this. I am in love with her. The way I appreciate her in everything and the way my heart beats becomes faster while looking at her. I think yes, it’s a confession from my heart that I am in love with her. I love her. She is my Star, and she will be my Star that will shine around her Moon so brightly and this Moon will always try his best to make his Star shine much brighter than him.

I wanted to marry her. For me, she is the perfect woman of my life. I have to confess her and get married to her now. May life will not give me this chance later.

Moon went to her cousin Star and told her to give him some time. He wanted to ask something which was very important. When she arrived, they both went to the garden that was behind the house of the Moon as Star was there to celebrate some occasion. And he asked her:

”Star, will you become the girl of my dreams? Will you be my life partner? You love to care about people so much. Will you be my caretaker? This Moon wants his sky to shine more brightly with the beauty of this Star”. And then she said YES….

Star was the daughter of Moon’s aunt. He talked to his parents. They went there and her hand for their son Moon. Star was the prettiest woman in the family. Every boy wanted to marry her. But Star wanted Moon to become her life partner. So, the families were happy. Their love won.

Luckily, I got married to her, and she became my life partner. I was the happiest person in the world at that time when she accepted me as her husband. I felt blessed to be her husband. I wanted to enjoy my life with this woman. She was my dream woman and dreams do come true. I got her and her love. I wanted to make every moment of our lives more enjoyable and memorable filled with love. There should be only love and love in every corner of our house. Our children will feel blessed to have us as their parents. We will get them everything they will ever wish for. They will be the luckiest children in the world and we will be the luckiest parents.

It's been twenty years since we got married and we have four sons. How blessed I am to have four handsome sons, but I also wanted a daughter. I wanted a little girl to play, cry and move here and there and fill our house with positivity. I wanted a reflection of you, Star. May Allah bless us with a girl this time. We will be having our fifth and last child. I wholeheartedly wanted this child to be a girl.

A princess for our castle, a pretty doll with whom her brothers will play. I wanted her to make so many wishes and to be a stubborn girl who would wish for many things and her baba would fulfill her every single wish. Star, we will love her so much. We will spoil her with our love. There will be nothing that she will wish for, and her baba will not get her.

The star said: We will name her Esme. This name means to be loved. And she will be born in this world only to get love and care and everything she deserves. And she will be her baba’s princesses and her mama’s doll. She will get all the love. I will be the luckiest mother, and she will be my pretty little angel. Her life will be full of love and all the care her mama will give her. She will be her mama’s girl and will love me more than her baba.

The beautiful day has come. Our little angel is coming home with mama. She wanted her brothers to prepare her room. All four of her brothers will love her and protect her from the outside world. Her brothers will be her best friends and bodyguards. They will treat her like a princess and fulfill her every wish. They will not allow anyone to make her cry. They will protect her like a shield.

From now on we will be a perfectly happy family. My first luckiest day was when I got married to her. Star was the beauty of my life. She is the most beautiful thing I keep inside my heart. And that's my second-luckiest day. The day my little angel Esme came into our lives. We were a perfect couple. Now we will make a perfect family with our sons and our little angel. We will live happily forever.

Life was going the way we both planned. My sons are becoming successful in their lives. I love all my children but the bond between a father and a daughter is a blessing. I know one day my daughter will also become so successful, she will make me proud. She will become a strong woman. My wife Star is a great lady. She has been with me side by side in every difficulty. She cares for me, for our children, for my family. She is my queen, my life, my love. I will always try my best to be there for her and for my children. I will be thankful to My Almighty for always giving the life I always dreamed of.
