12.. A Way To Escape And Invade

Aimlessly, Donna was plodding sluggishly. The clock had hit the 4 am. She was in the search of peace. She was on countryside to find serenity. She wanted her mind to stay tranquil rather than filled by chaos. It was still dark. Moon was glinting. Everyone was in deep slumber but she was restless and plodding.

It was the end of spring in Italy. She was at the EUR district. She looked at the beauty of that place. The trees of cherry blossoms bloomed already. But some splendid beauty of those blossoms still alive. She stirred and moved forward.

A single blossom bloomed and landed on Donna's cheek. She thumped it and looked. It was like blossoms wanted to say, "stay happy and enjoy the beauty of this world. Don't let anyone to invade your tranquil life. Let the thing dropped on their own." Again, a blossom landed on her nose. The blossoming started. She curved her lips into a smile.

"Daughter, always remember that these cherry blossoms are the flower of birth, so delicate and fragile like a human existence. It cherishes and blooms the world and then disappears leaving behind their rare splendour beauty." She was reminding her mother's word when she was five. She remembered because this shuddered and touched her soul.

She reached to the place where grey haired, mature, and elderly people were trying to become fit.

There were not vigour in their eyes like it used to be in their springtime of life. But their determination to stay healthy still glinted in their eyes. She was keenly observing them. It was a new thing for her. She tried to find the new meaning of life from them.

She was quietly observing her surrounding. "You could also join us, child." An old woman said. Donna looked at her. She was amused. She looked at her emerald eyes. She felt motherly tenderness from her wrinkled face. That lady smiled at her.

"but.. Ma'am, it will..." she said, but that lady didn't let her complete and said,"child you can call me grandma, and no one mind anything. Come! Let's enjoy with us." she said.

Donna quietly nodded. Her hair was tied in a messy bun. She was wearing a top and lower with the Adidas sports shoes.

"Do you have fun?" The old lady asked.

"so much.."

"child, look, what I have done!" An old man said, tilting him up, hands below the hidalgos above the waist.

Donna was amused and said, "uncle, it's dangerous, it'll got hurt." The old man smiled at her scold. She was like a granddaughter to him, even he didn't have any.

The old lady had a pool of love and care in her eyes towards her. She looked at her laughing face.

She (Donna) forgot everything in their presence and was enjoying.

" uncle, let me show you one thing." Donna said and started to use her leg in very different positions. After all, she was mastered in self defence.

Everyone clapped for her.

Donna was strolling with that old lady. The clock had hit the time of sunrise. The whole sky was red rather than azure. The almighty sun was raising and claiming its kingdom, defeating the kingdom of dark.
