Finding Neverland
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Finding Neverland
FINDING NEVERLAND It was one of those hot mumbai nights. When the moon was a silent observer and the Wind a mere whisper. I was asleep in the gentle glitter of the moon god, unaware of Worldly misery. Dreamless sleep a blessing which was abruptly taken away from me. Somebody was tugging at my hair and I thought that it was the beginning of a dream. Therefore I waited for the journey to begin…….a moment and then two but nothing Seemed to appear in front of my closed eyes. Irritated I woke up. What I saw Changed by life for ever ….. Dressed in cloudy white frock with pink frills, stood in front of me gods little angel. Beautiful grey green eyes peered at me through strands of soft brown curly hair….she looked at me and said : "I am your daughter, Dad". What??? I think you have come at a wrong address, . "No Dad, I swear I am your daughter", she said blinking her eyes With innocence that would put the most purest of doves to shame. My friends are in trouble she whined. They have complained to god but he won't help Us. But I told them that my daddy is very brave and he will surely help us out. I could See her struggle to catch up with her breath as she ran one sentence into another. I Smiled ,all my doubts about she not being mine just vanished into thin air. That was How Nikhila talks when she gets too excited. Come Come she said and then wrapped her little hand around my finger and pulled Me towards what I could see was the wide dark sky. Suddenly within few seconds the hue changed and turned into a bouquet of purple, red, orange, pink and numerous colours, as if some nerd painter has just randomly stroked his brush across the canvas of white eternity. We were walking on pillows of cloud………..my kitten was directing me with a seriousness in her voice that belonged to just one person in this wide world. Nikhila. I just could not stop smiling as she directed me into some clouds towards the moon just next to those beautiful stars. I found myself standing i in front of a huge door. "Open it, can't you > see my dad has come, she literally screamed and I could picture nikhila screaming her lungs out at me. I told you about him didn't I . He threw the huge doors open and I walked in a mute spectator to the unfolding drama in front of me. Lush green lawns, flowers of colours I didn't know existed ,trees swaying to the melody of the wind, mountains bathing in the beautiful sunlight that beamed from the Heavens above, there were waterfalls cascading with a glint of silver. Laughter of innocence echoed through the valley as children ran around in gay abandon. I asked my little angel where we were going. Papa wait a minute, but please dont go anywhere.....I just stood at my ground And watched her vanish into the garden of roses. I thought I saw somebody sitting across o the bench so I walked over. My hunch Was right ! Mr. Patil was sitting there with a woman who was more beautiful than Beauty itself. His wife I guess, his arm was around her and she a wedding band Gleamed on her finger…..I was shocked what are you doing here . I remember beingAbsolutely heartbroken when the love of his life had ditched him to marry another.She was said to be a real beauty but this woman was unlike anybody inthe universe I was sure…..I was making making small talk with him and her when somebody came and held my hand….. I did not have to turn to know who it was. Why did you just disappear I said with a Tone of disapproval in my voice….. I was still very upset with her ………the fact that I was seeing her after a month did not strike me then. Ok Relax ...why you always have to shout on me....Yes I always shout, but what are you doing here....Come lets go...i have to feed him...him who????....Buddhu, Lion king....have you forgotten > him....Oh God! have you gone mad....first one girl comes to me and claims i am her father now you are telling me that I have a son too.. ..have you also lost it.....No my dear i have not...they are our kids. Come lets walk she said, lets go home and then you can meet him he will be so happy to see you, he misses you a lot. I can hear Little Mermaid call out from a distance PAPA, MAMA Wait………………she comes running and I pick her up in my arms, there is content On nikhilas face come soon she says and walks towards a purple cloud…. > Have I gone crazy?? what is happening to me??? Somebody pinch me Ouch! Dad what happened.. are u fine my buttercup looks up at me with concern on her cute little face . .Ok you better tell me now.. What is happening here.? Little Mermaid thats what I have decided to call her decides to sit on a mushroom stool and I make place beside her. Dad this is Neverland …………..what remains unfinished in the real world is concluded her. Every unfulfilled story has a happy ending. I love you she says and hugs me….. you are the best dad in this world. This is my home and lion kings and always will be……her face suddenly clouded with sadness and tears spiraled down her rosy cheeks …..I quickly wiped them away and tried to hush her…..god send us here a month ago. Neverland.....what are you saying.....I said………….. God said that we are never going to be able to transcend into the real world because are Mummy and Papa have decided to not let us. You know how much Lion King cried…………..so I told him I will talk to papa and I am sure that he will get us out of this place so I begged god to give me one chance to meet my papa ………. > Please Dad, we love you and mom, please do something and take us out > of this place......Or lion king will cry forever and I will never smile. I couldn't bear my child so upset and I was ashamed of myself to have put her through this. I will get you back I promised her Mom and I will do each and everything possible to bring that smile back we will sort thing out I assured her. A tall giant suddenly emerged out of nowhere and started pulling her out of my arms. I have to take her back....you ..dare not touch her....DAD DAD > PLEASE TAKE ME BACK DAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fought him with all my might kicking and screaming! Suddenly there was a thud and I collected myself from the ground. I had fallen from the bed……i saw outside my rooms window she was smiling inthe clouds... but I was not confused any more I knew where I was and Where I had to go. I had to call Nikhila, I had promised Little Mermaid I will get her back. If only you could understand this nikhila...........
