Happy Years Ahead!
A man climbed into the bus holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands. The flowers were in different bright hues and looked lovely combined together in a bouquet! They were really a treat to the eyes.The man occupied a window seat and kept gazing out of the window. It looked as if he was really dreaming! The sun was radiating its light over the city. Leaves shined as the soothing light penetrated through them!
At the next stop, a young lady came and sat down beside him. She was dumbstruck by the beauty of the flowers. They looked so dazzling and jubilant that she could not take her eyes off them!
Finally when she couldn’t resist herself, she asked the man whom these flowers were for! “For my daughter” he replied, “it’s her birthday today!” “Oh how sweet!” the girl said with envy in her voice. Then they kept silent for some time and the girl continued admiring the flowers and the man kept gazing out of the window!
When the time came for the girl to get down from the bus, the man handed her the bouquet of flowers. The girl protested but the man turned a deaf ear to her. The girl told him that her daughter would be angry with him but he declined saying that she too would have liked her Dad to give the flowers to her.
The girl got down from the bus with a smile! After a few stops the man too got down and reached a cemetery where he knelt down and prayed before the grave of her dead daughter, hoping she had happy years ahead!

Hi Meghana,
Nice simple story. However a little predictable. I guessed the end immediately. Nevertheless touching.
Meghna,
Touching!
You describe the events and situations quite well.
P.S. I'm still amazed from the fact that you are a 12 year old, ... 4 or so months into blogging ... and, 100 posts old. Amazing! As, I said in my other comment, Blog On, WhizKid!! ;)
And, blogrolled ya! :D
Hi nitin,
Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't imagine that you were able to imagine the ending right at the start itself. You're a great writer and reader. Do you have a blog?
Thank you for the nice comments.
Hi monsooner,
Thank you for dropping by and leaving such kind words. Thanks for blogrolling too. I'm glad that you liked the story!
a nice story, meghz. small and simple, and touching. I liked the twist at the end :)
No Meghana I do not have a blog though i did register with a name trustmeall. My friend Arti who has a great blog called Straight from the heart once inspired me to start one but that was just about it.
I dont have writing skills but yes I am a good reader and ready to appreciate talent like yours.
Keep it up
Dear Nitin,
I too have read Arti's blog and liked it! By the way you write your comments you sound like a writer and I'm amazed you aren't one. But I too would love to read your blog! if you do get time make one and I'm sure you'll enjoy blogging too!
I have tears in my eyes...
Hi Anoop,
I tried to write something small yet great by it's words and meaning.I hope I succeeded and glad that you liked it!
hi Leena,
I'm glad you felt the story from the depth and understood the hidden meaning behind it!
Hope you didn't cry much as I wouldn't like my readers to leave my blog crying!
Hi Meg,
I really enjoy your writing. I agree that this one was a little predictable, as I also knew the ending, but I enjoyed it just the same. I think there is a small typo near the end. I think you said her when you meant his daughter.
Great story!A real touching one!
Hi Absolutely true,
Thanks for the compliments and I'll try to write better next time! I hope you aren't disappointed by my writing!
Thanks for telling me about the error! I'll correct it as soon as possible!
I am certainly not disappointed. I always enjoy reading your stories.
