Oh no, mamma the story ended so soon …

Cinderella.. A Story has to end where it is suppose to …!

But you didn’t tell me what happened to that Angel who gave the boons to the princess to save the prince from the witches...

Angel don’t come often Cinderella... They only come when they are required and only to those who are their favourites…

Is that so? So mommy, Am I a favourite to the Angels ?

Of course Cinderella! You are the darling and all angels would surely love you...

So when can I see my Angel ?

It’s already past 10’ , go to sleep now…

No mommy, tell me when can I see my Angel?

You have to pray for that? Pray sincerely and then go to sleep... who knows you may see your Angel..

Okay mommy, I will do it right now.. “Oh Angel, please come.. I want to see you… Give me a boon to get chocolates whenever I want.. my mommy doesn’t give me more than 1 a week… “ please come.. mamma.. Is this enough?

More than enough... now go to bed… Angels don’t like kids who don’t hear their mother’s... so go and sleep... You will find your Angel soon…

Cinderella... Cinderella... Get up my child…

Mommy… some more time… it isn’t morning yet, still its dark outside you see…

Cinderella.. I’m not your mother, wake up and see … I am your Angel... See I came since you called me.. I will go if you don’t wake up then…

Oh Wait Wait… wow... Are you really my Angel?

Yes dear… tell me why you called me?

Why I called you? Ah... Yes… to get chocolates…

Chocolates are so easy to get, ask for something else Cinderella... I will grant you for sure...

I don’t want anything else... I want only chocolates… Please give me those … Please…

Ok, you are really my favorite... So instead of just chocolates I will give you a Pen… Take it..

Oh no... This is my Pen...Why are you giving my own Pen & What will I do with this pen ?

My Dear... This was an ordinary pen before… but now this is a magic pen...

Magic pen? What does it do?

You write anything that you want in this pen, you will get it... But whenever you write you should write with a task which should be useful for others .. for example, "I will get this if that event happens"...and remember you should be there to witness the event otherwise this magic pen will become an ordinary pen for ever and you will not get what you wanted …

What is this task? I am not able to understand...

What you wanted now?

Chocolate..!

Write “I will get 2 chocolates if I can arrange these scattered toys neatly in the cupboard”...

Will it happen?

Write down and test yourself…

Okay… “I will get 2 chocolates if I can arrange these scattered toys neatly in the cupboard”

……

Okay now I have finished arranging all my toys neatly... Where is my chocolate.?. .. Angel... Angel!!! Where are you? Angel... Oh you have gone... so this is all a dream? Oh no... I was dreaming all this while.. so sad.. I didn’t’ see my angel then… OOO!!.. what is that under the Pillow… two lovely chocolates .. Hope I am not dreaming... let me pinch myself and test it.. Ahhh… it is paining... so this is real... the pen I am holding is real... My Angel is real then... Thank you Angel… Thank you very much…

****

Mommy... can I help you in cleaning this vessel?

Oh what a surprise? How come you had a concern today to help me?

Because I will get a toy...

What?

No, I said, if I help you, you will be pleased then so that you will gift me a toy, right..

Oh Cinderella… you have grown up so much to think in this angle... Anyway help me to keep these vessels in the cupboard, that would be enough...

OK Mamma…

****

Thus… Cinderella started to write things which would be of help to others in the family and at the same time getting things that she wanted. However she made sure she was there to watch that event happen so that she gets what she wanted… As days went by, the city where Cinderella lived started experiencing extreme drought and there were scarcity of water. Rain was difficult to come by and people started planning to move to different city for their living.

Cinderella’s father was extremely devastated by the continuous failure of monsoon and so he decided one day to put her daughter Cinderella to her aunt’s place in a distant city so that she can continue her education from there. Because of his family business, he decided not to relocate himself but for her daughter’s future education sake, with heavy heart he conveyed the decision to move her daughter to distance place to the family.

After much persuasion he made Cinderella to accept this though she didn’t’ wanted to leave her family and her born city. On the night before she has to leave the town, she got remembered about her magic pen. She realized that her father has decided her to put in her aunt’s place only because of lack of monsoon rains and if there is rainfall, she no longer will be sent to a distant place. So she soon took the pen and wrote on the paper “I will not go to my aunt’s place to study if it rains tomorrow as if it has not rained before and make my father happy”… And she slept peacefully thinking her Angel would help her once again...

****

Cinderella.. Wake up my Darling… You need to get ready as you have to leave for your Aunt’s place...

Mamma… Is it raining outside?

What? Get up Cinderella... Don’t be in dreams...

No Mamma... see outside, it should be raining for sure...

I wish... It happens... as we all would be happy darling…. But (weeps...)

No Mamma... it should rain, My Angel would make it happen, look at this paper, I have written so...

Oh God... what is this Cinderella? What are you upto? This not going to happen... who told you all this?

No Mamma... It would happen... The Angel you told in the stories really came and made my pen as a magic pen and granted me the wish that whatever I write in this paper would really happen…

Oh God, what happened to you my child? These are all fantasies story I told you to make you sleep.. this wouldn’t come true, probably you had a dream of all that… now get ready…

No mamma.. look at this doll.. look at these chocolates covers… I got all of them through this pen only…

Now stop this nonsense, I don’t want to hear any of this crap story.. I gave these presents as a secret gift since you had been very helpful recent times... I kept them under your pillow as a secret gift and it’s not any Angel who gave this.. Understand! now get ready before your father comes to know about it..

Oh no.. so you put me these dolls secretly as a secret Gift!!.. so there is no Angel in my life? This pen is not a magic pen? So it’s not going to rain today? That means… I am going to leave you all for ever… (weeps…)

Oh Cinderella.. you have to get matured.. these fantasies stories will never come true… I feel sorry for you.. I wish we really had an Angel to grant us all you wished for... especially the rains… but this is the reality and we need to accept.. Dreams don’t come true… now give a kiss to your mamma and get ready.. I am probably not sure when I will get it again...

Oh Mommy… I don’t want to go…

****

You haven’t slept yet …

How can I sleep after watching my daughter leaving us with full of pain in the heart... Didn’t you seen her crying and holding my hands and begging that she didn’t wanted to leave us…

You think I was happy to let her go as a Father? Atleast you could cry to show of your emotions… I wish I could do that as well...

She would have reached her aunt’s place by now I think… not sure if she had eaten properly… she would have slept by now, isn’t it?

Yeah... don’t worry, it is gonna be 12 soon… I’m sure she would have dozed off…

I wish Angel do exist in the world...

What?

Ah... Nothing... I mean I wish we didn’t have to face this monsoon failure… I wish it rains now…

If it’s rains now, I would be happy for the people living here.. but that doesn’t mean we will be calling back our daughter... as you know her future would be good if she remains in her Aunt’s place and…

Eh stop... did you hear that?

Hear what?

The Thunder..! Open the window.. I heard it…

Come on... Thunder at this time!!!

Open the Window first...

Oh yes, you are right! It’s lightening as well… Hurray... I can’t believe it... How this could happen?

Because Angel do exist... We fail to see it and Cinderella saw it… I wish she was here to see this rainfall…

Who?

Cinderella....

(The End)
