I had to do my 4th speech in Toastmasters. The
theme is “How to say it”. Basically we have to create vivid images in audience’s
mind using descriptive words and all. There were suggestions to take story kind of thing where we can make
audience feel what we feel and make them see what we see. I initially thought to
speak about one of the real life experiences but was unable to write enough
description to make the audience engaged. So finally decided to go for an
imaginative story. Here is my so called “Creative story”. :)
It looked like midnight. Suddenly woke up with the feeling
that someone called me. Checked the wall clock and it showed 4 am. Oh… It’s not
mid night but early morning. But “Who called me at this early morning time? “I
went up to mother’s bed and saw her in deep sleep. Again I heard the same voice
and now I tried to track the direction of it and found it came from outside. I
live on 3rd floor. Opened the door, went to the balcony and looked
down at the road. There was a white figure standing on the road staring at me
and making hand sign asking me to come down. Oh. No…. I have heard of lot of
ghost stories and was scared to death. I
did not know what to do.
The next moment I’m not sure what happened. I just jumped
over the balcony as If some remote force pushed me down. When I was falling
down I realized that I’m not really falling but felt like I’m flying. Landed on
the road smoothly. The figure came closer to me. Now amazingly I see the face
clearly even in the misty and dark morning. A woman in white dress; Round face, sharp nose, pointed
chin, small curvy lips, magnetic eyes- 1000 watts powers eyes;such a pleasant smile on the face. Oh It is not a
ghost No doubt that she must be an angel. I have never seen such a perfect poetic face.
She
started speaking; “Baby you might have forgot how you got to this world. But we
remember you, we care for you and we would like to remind your duty here.”
I was at loss of words seeing a divine beauty for the first
time in my life and hearing such a sweet voice. Somehow managed to find some
courage to open my mouth. “What you mean by my duty here?”
She replied: “We sent you as a representative of us to this
world. To help the helpless; to heal those who suffer; to love the unloved; to
promote peace and harmony in this world; to shed some light on the darkest paths
etc etc…”
“I really cannot that remember that I came from angel world.
But I always try my best to help people as much as possible at least not to
hurt them.”
“I know; anyway it is my duty to ensure those who were sent
here not adapted to and spoiled by the sinful human nature here”
I became silent wondering if I too have become another
ordinary human being with selfish and sinful nature.
“Child! Do not worry about the criticism made on you for being
different from other humans. Because most of those critics are back powered by
our enemies- evils. You got to win them, got to be yourself and got to serve to
this world.”
“I will” I promised. For some reason I was overwhelmed by
emotions. Closed my eyes for a while. And suddenly it started raining. I
thought that
“Is it raining to bless me on my new journey or the newly discovered
old journey?”
Or “is the sky shedding tears of joy seeing the precious
angel on this earth?! “ I was thinking.
Opened my eyes to see the reaction on her face as well and do
you know what I saw??There my mother walking away with a water glass scolding
me. When did my mother come in to the scene?? ! Where is my angel?!
Now I realized that I’m lying on my bed. What??? I’m on my
bed??!!
Yeah, I was lying in my bed and there is my mobile next to
pillow showed 6.30 am where I remember I set the alarm to 5.30 a.m. I realized
that my mother’s water glass only poured rain on me once she got tired of
waking me up by calling me for an hour.
Yes. It was a dream. Awesome dream. Thank you. ! :)
