Thanks Goodness

THANKS GOODNESS

She was just aware of how much she made the things

harder for herself. Sitting in her night dress, Laura just

scrolling her cellphone as she was waiting for someone

to text her. Sometimes things happened unexpectedly,

she murmured. Waiting a long she laid down on her bed

trying to fall asleep. Suddenly her thoughts hit by a

memory she had once with her beloved friend. Oh! That

day, unforgettable one. It was my flight from London to

my own place. I was waiting for driver to put my luggage

into the car. Meanwhile my eyes had a sight on what I

can't believe yet. We both made an incessant smile and

ran in hurry towards each other. Impatiently she hug me

by crossing her arms around my neck. Oh! Liza! It's you?

I asked amusingly. I can't believe the way we met each

other after a long. Yes, she was my best friend. It's about

ten years to go that we never met. Not a text, even;not

a single call. But still I means to her same as I was ten

years before. She smiled scornfully. But, now the world

has been changed. Time reveals the true faces of people.

Again unlocked her cellphone expecting that might she

text me. But nothing came from her side. That was the

last hug. We will never met again. She had forgotten me

now, Laura sighed with tears rolling on her cheeks.

Nothing happened the same as I had expected. That's

how I just made the things and my own life harder for

my self. By calling her back in my life, become

the hardest pill to swallow.

We were school friends. Enjoying every moment we

made a crazy stuff together.

In break time we often used to catch the butterflies,

flying over beautiful flowers. It enchanted our heart and

refreshes our soul; how they beautifully left our finger

tips with the colors of their wings. I was in believe that

people come and go but their true colors stained in our

heart. Ah! We had good time, Laura sighed with her

heavy heart.

Recalling her hard time she spent without Liza; Laura

said that I always remembered you in my prayers. I

always made a wish to my Lord! To give my friend back

to me. I was in believe that once we met I will uncover

my pain and hard time I suffered alone. I wanted to tell

you that you loved me like no one else can do. My heart

screamed out your name whenever someone hurt me.

Just thinking about you; I always uttered; if Liza would

be there then no one can hurt me. Liza cared about me

so much, Laura continued. She never let me to go

anywhere else without her as she had not a big heart to

share me with anyone else. But these expectations!. I

repent that why I call her back. Now, I had lost her. Even

I had lost myself too. I still remember the last quarrel

with each other. I never expect the way she talked to

me. I realized that distance changed her a lot. I repent!

We were under the same sky at least. She lost trust

upon me. All the time thinking about her just put a smile

on my face.

My feet couldn't hold the floor more as she said; Never

text me again. You called me fake. She couldn't get my

point properly and made her way far from me. It was the day when I lost my real self. The one who always

stay happy and always become the cause of happiness

to others. Now this disaster changed me. Even the soft

and sweet hearts hit me hard. I had lost my mind. I am

not the same Laura as I was before. From this I learned a

lot. Life is our great mentor. Now I stop explaining

myself. I never let myself doing the same mistakes as I

done before. But nature keep you the same and safe.

Your real friends are those who never let you to put

yourself down. They always brought best out of you.

Some years later, Laura continued herself; i was

bestowed with the great blessings of Allah Almighty!.

She found new friends but no one can replace Liza's

place in her heart. Some people and their words; so soft

and pure. At last her soul glow up again. She start

seeking for people again with that soft corner of her

heart. She helped others with the same potential as she

had before.

Oh! My goodness. No one accept me with heart. No

matter how hard I try, in the end it doesn't matter at all.

With her teary eyes ,she recalled her universities days.

When every friend of mine goes against me. No one call

me good even if I helped them a lot. No one stand with

me when I had hard time; except few mates. But I made

my believe that one day I would be rewarded for this

goodness. A reward, a blessing. Laura, disappointingly to

herself ; oh wait, you call your people? What about your

fate who didn't not support you. Whatever I tried to do

it become hard for me. The things I want to I achieve, I

lost!. My passion, my carrier, I lost my destination. Oh!

My goodness, she sighed; don't know when It Would be rewarded. If people wouldn't forgive me

what I harm to them; how my Lord would forgive me?.

And the piles of my sin that eaten up my goodness too. I

am not good at all; not deserve to be rewarded. Oh! My

Lord! Please forgive me. The queries and the grieves

that never let herself to move on in her life.

Oh! My Lord!...…that was her last words written in

Laura's diary. She was good enough to recall her name

when someone call for help. A great helper, great

person. You were always be the best one I ever met in

my life Laura!, Liza said with shrink voice while standing

at her grave. My friend, Laura! May heaven call your

name and you would be in the list of pious people. Your

deeds would be rewarded. You don't lose me Laura, it's

me. I lost you! Liza cried. I hurt you, I tease you. I am

sorry Laura! Please forgive. Now I can feel the pain of

being alone; she sobbed. Touching her grave and after

putting flowers, Liza made her way to home. She sobbed,

cried as the diary's words stabbing her heart now. She

was in grieve that Laura wouldn't forgive her. The harm

and the pain I gave her; can't be forgive.

As soon she reached home, do ablution and call Allah

Almighty for forgiveness. Crying the whole mid night in

procreation, she asked mercy of Allah for Laura to grant

her in high rank of Jan-nah!. she didn't even know that

soon she felt asleep over there. Woke up with swelling

eyes, she suddenly move her hand towards Laura as she

felt her presence. Laura made a smile and soon

disappeared. Laura!….. she uttered loudly. But Laura

was no more. But seeking Laura's happy face, Liza made a deep breath that she is happy at that eternal place.

She had been rewarded. Liza said; Ah! Thanks goodness,

for this eternal peace. We all hurt you Laura, you are at

better place now.

Eternal peace! She uttered slightly, we lost you...!
