Eyes half-shut and scared as hell, She was muttering to herself, " Why i have to do this. I am so scared of heights. I know, no one has ever died of this but what if..what if i am the first one. What if tomorrow is my last day on earth? Mom says if you don't, you will never know how beautiful this world is. But i am already happy. I feel so cozy ,so safe here. God O God, please don't let sun rise tomorrow..." . Don't know when her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
Apparently God didn't listen to her, sun rose at usual time. Infact minutes earlier than usual. She woke up by its blazing rays. After an angry glance at it, she looked around and saw her Mom patiently waiting in a corner. She has no choice now. So she looked at her Mom's assuring face for a minute, closed her eyes and jumped from top of the building.
**************
Soon, her wings stretched magically and instead of falling, she was floating. Cool breeze was embracing her as she was moving forward. She opened her eyes, to be mesmerized by the beauty she had never imagined. She was oblivious of her wide grin. Finally she had overcome her fear for flying. It was seeming so natural. "So how was it?", a voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head to see her mom flying beside her.
"Luv you Ma". Said the baby bird, before she dived again.
