Poem after poem, what about the other artistic forms? In this post, I'm gonna change my style for the first time(not really), so this time it will be a short story.
So, it goes like this...
Long long ago there was a town, a big one and even bigger were the hearts of the townsmen. This town under the leadership of two very kind and cheerful friends did nothing but prosper. Those two did everything from organizing events to being crazy, just to keep the townsmen happy.
But this happiness didn't last for long...
Being the pandas the first thing they needed in the morning was a coffee, to keep their energies high all day and this was something they could die for.
One day when the fate was against the townsmen, there was none coffee left in the town but enough to make a single cup of it. All the townsmen offered this holy cup to the leaders, but which one should have it? This question became the root cause of the splitting of the town as some people wanted to offer this coffee to their Dreamgirl - Soma Peries aka Laboon and some to the Knight in the shining armour - Allelujah Haptism.
But leader's hearts were really very big and offered the cup to each other. The feud of offering the cup to each other went on when suddenly the cup slipped from the Allelujah's hand.
Hearts were big enough to offer the cup but that heart couldn't bear the fall and this is something a panda could never forgive. Laboon got so angry that she stopped talking to him. He brewed and drew and wrote songs to correct the wrong, but all the efforts were in vain as this only gave her more pain and she rebuked him and asked him to just disappear...
Allelujah got disheartened and decided to leave the town, but his followers couldn't leave him alone and hence the town was split into two. One which was ruled by Laboon and the other by Allelujah.
The wall was drawn neither between the town nor between the hearts of the people, it was just between the leaders. Since they loved the townsmen so much they regularly used to visit each other's town, to make sure that the townsmen are happy, which they indeed were not.
Then came the day, which uplifted the mood of the townsmen, it was the day when the towns had completed their 100 years. Everyone was in the cheerful mood as it brought the feeling of oneness and hope that the towns will be together someday. Both the towns were decorated, but the town led by Allelujah was very nominally decorated as the townsmen could understand the pain he was going through and did not want to celebrate the day, without their leader's full presence.
Allelujah was invited by the townsmen of the other town and since he could not break their hearts he went there reluctantly. When he reached the town he saw the town was so beautifully decorated and there was one thing, in particular, that was making the town paradise. The townsmen invited the colorful butterflies from far-far lands which seemed to be like little fairies flying all around and magically bringing smiles on everyone's face and including Allelujah, but only for a while.
Allelujah got little jealous and angry and thought why something similar wasn't done in his town. Soon these strong emotions started battling in his mind, but only to lose. Far away he saw, a big pretty smile appeared on the Laboon's face when she saw those colorful and beautiful butterflies swirling all around the town. Her smile calmed all the battles that were being fought in his mind, just like the rain settles the dust storm.
Her smile made him smile and in his mind, he thought - where can he get more butterflies from???
