What will you do when the thing you avoid becomes the thing you want? And what if the thing you want becomes the thing you need, before you even know it! Well this is a small story I want to share with you today. This is a story about a cushion and not just an ordinary cushion it’s my cushion. I call it a cushion of hope; for now all my hope in getting what I want rests upon it.
For a past couple of months I’ve been working really hard. And every night there laid this cushion asking me to lay my head over it. It assured me that with its softness, it would perfectly cuddle the curvature of my head. It kept on begging me to just lie for a while and not think about anything else. But I couldn’t do it. I just couldn't; for I felt lots of things were at stake. I just kept avoiding its pleas. But I gave it a hope that one day, one fine day, when everything will be done; I’d come back to it and then dream like never before. But who knew it would never happen!
As soon as I got free, I came back to my cushion only to realize that it was gone! I searched for it everywhere but in vain. I found another cushion and sadly kept my head over it. But to my dismay no sleep came to me. And here I lay all so fatigued and disappointed! I hope I’ll find my cushion someday but till then I won’t be able to dream like I used to!
