Yes, today I'm a lost face, A face lost in the world's rat race, But time is bound to change, A while when no one remain estranged. They say when it's not well, it's not the end. Aparna saved him. She just supported him. She didn't criticize him over the moon, just the little requisite amount. She asked him to channelize his energies in the right direction. And she listened to him. She suddenly seemed more caring, she seemed like an angel. She made him feel good about himself. And as time passed by, things did change for him. And yes, I hope a time will come, When the darkness would be engulfed by the scarlet sun, A time when deeds would pay dividend, A time as foretold by the lore and the legends. He talked to his parents. Talking and speaking up is what changes the perception of you. People will misunderstand and keep misunderstanding you until you decide otherwise. His parents needed to know that their son's still the same person they used to know. Ever since he started speaking less and lesser, they mistook it for his ignorance towards them. For Aryan's parents, their only son had become estranged. But when there's love, lament doesn't last long. His parents knew he still was the same person when Aryan spoke of the challenges he was going through. His difficulties mayn't seem the mightiest, but you only know it when you go through it. The best way to tell someone about their shortcomings is to tell them bluntly in a polite and humble manner. Or we human beings are so dumb that we won't accept things we don't like even if, at the back of our minds, we do know it. Aryan now is one amongst the top students in his University. He now takes tuition classes in his spare time. His father is his super hero again and his mother his best friend. But he still hates his sister for being irritating at times, but that I guess is okay. She's a younger sibling after all. So, friends, talk. God endowed us with the power of speech. Words are the worst weapons and the most marvelous medicines. Use them in the latter way. There's already a great deal of hatred in the world. Teenage is the most challenging phase in one's life. You don't really know what's going on while you think you do. One WILL need guidance at some point. Acknowledge this fact. We're not mature enough to understand the dynamics of life completely. Talking and speaking out your minds are the best ways to phase out the problems of teenage life. Aparna saved Aryan's soul. She saved him from shattering down to pieces. She turned the guy around. And she didn't do anything previously unexplored. She just knew the words to say and the things to tell. She showed him the vista in an otherwise dense dark canopy of doom. Really, we human beings are wondrous creatures. All we need to get back on our feet is someone to put their faith in us. A few inspiring words and there you go…..Magic! Friends! Always extend a helping hand for the ones in need and accept one when in need. So, the moon once again has, Turned full and I feel like to waltz and jazz, But you know what? I'll not get lost as King Tut! I'm not the sun or a star, Or an unsung hero of a great war, I'm one of the craters on the might moon, To be known as a superstar soon. 15
