Lives of kids are simple.
They are like butterflies, colourful and beautiful. Being a child is
the closest you can get in your entire life to total Freedom. But
sometimes their emotions too can take complex form. But when they do,
then adults will be helpless as their emotions outstrip all logic and
sense in this world. Its such a story.
There were two kids, a
little girl named Chandra and a boy named Adi. Both are of same age
and in the same school. They were friends. Their love for each other
is cute and fresh, like morning dew, unlike the elder people with prejudices and
conditions.
That day was Chandra's
birthday, she dressed like an angel. Everybody loved her. Her smile
lightens the night, just like the moon. Watching her smile is a
divine experience. He too was there, to wish her a “haaapy
bithday”. Adi give her a wide smile. Then they both ran to
the gift table to open the packs she was getting.
She got lots of gifts. One
by one they started to open the gifts. But when she unpacked a long
coloured box, they saw two candy shaped blue eyes, glinting.
“Teddy
bear” he exclaimed in joy, made his eyes go bulging. She
picked it up at once and hugged it.
His eyes were swinging from her
to Teddy. His cheeks become red and eyes were waterlogged.
“Mommy,
i need a Teddy
too, like the one she
has”. He told his mother. She picked him up and said,
“No,it's hers darling, i ll bring u another.” He was on the verge of
crying.
“Say
bye to her, darling, come on” his mother take him back
home before he created a dramatic scene over there.
Next day his mother bought
him a teddy. He was ecstatic but it doesn't last long. After done
analysing the teddy, he cried ,
“I
want red teddy mommy and
this one
doesn't have
blue eyes”, his little eyes get moistened.
She slowly begin to get the
deepness of this Teddy Bear issue. His mother put her hand on
forehead, “Ohh
God.”
Days passed, but the Teddy
Issue didn't fade away. She tried many stores but he wasn't
satisfied. Whenever the Teddy word came up, he cried. He daily played
with Chandra's Teddy. She allowed him to play with it as she is his
best friend. Both looked happy while playing. But when she takes
Teddy back to her home, he felt desolate.

Today is his birthday.
Chandra was also there to wish him, he was playing with her. They
were opening his gifts. He got lots of electronic toys but his eyes
were looking for something in particular. The last gift box were also
opened , he looked disappointed and looked at her. She smiled at him
and that pushed him to the verge of crying.
Then suddenly, Chandra's
mother make an entry with a gift box in her hand. Both Chandra's and
Adi's eye were glued to the gift box she was holding. She gave it to
him, his watery eyes suddenly seemed filled with hope. He opened the gift,
his eyes as wide as a koala bear. Yes, It was a red teddy bear. He
was overwhelmed with joy. But then,he sized up the teddy and started
to cry again.
“What
is it now, honey?“Mother asked
“it
is her Teddy,
look it has blue eyes too. She gave it to me, mommy.” He
cried his heart out.
“But you wanted one,
right?" His mother was confused.
“Yes,
but now she doesn't have a teddy, mommy, how is she gonna play?”
Tears were running down his red cheeks.
