“Hey Jerry look! My dad bought me this cute little plant!”, Tom said excitedly.
“Let’s go and plant it somewhere, probably near the kids play area in our town” added Jack after examining the plant.
The very next moment they both were on the decided place and after a struggle of 20 minutes they were finally able to plant and water it. Since it was already dusk and everyone was on their way to their homes both Tom and Jack also decided to leave, promising each other that they will take care of that baby plant every day from then on.
That was the beginning of my story! I know you guys might be wondering who I am. I am that tiny little plant who was planted with much love and care on that evening by those two boys. I would like to share my story with you all with all its ups and downs.
It was Sunday the very next day, Tom got up earlier than usual and after having his breakfast, he ran towards me. Jack had already arrived and was waiting for Tom.
“Hey Tom! Where have you been? I have been waiting for so long now,” Jack enquired.
“I got here as fast as I could” Tom replied.
That day they had so much fun, played around me, introduced me to their all other friends, built a shady shelter for me, watered me and most importantly named me. I felt so happy to be a part of their group; I felt so happy to be their friend. They named me Adam.
That day after they all left and I was alone looking at the sky wondering how blessed I was, I actually saw a falling star in the sky. I have heard it from these humans that if we wish looking at these falling stars our wishes might come true. So, I tried it that day!
- “Dear God, I know you are a God of us all. You can hear everything we say or have in our minds. I would like to be with my best friend Tom forever! Can you make this happen for me?” I prayed. *
I was so happy with such life. Every day, I waited for the evening when Tom came to play with me. With the passage of time, our friendship grew.
Tom used to share his every day happening with me. I had become a close friend with who he shared everything. I felt like Tom’s personal diary. Some days he was sad, other days he was happy. He always talked to me no matter what.
Days, weeks, months and years passed and we grew older and stronger just like our friendship
Soon it was the time of his graduation. He came to meet me with all his friends, Jack was there too. Tom showed me his degree and shouted with Joy! They partied for quite a few hours under me and enjoyed.
At the first crack of dawn, Tom came to me and sat against my trunk. He started talking to me, remembering all the moments that we’ve shared. The sadness in his tone indicated that something was wrong. He was moving to Chicago. He had to go. Away. It was goodbye. A tear ran down his cheek and dropped at my base as he hugged me.
Then he carved a letter “T” on me. He left, and soon I was alone.
