In pursuit of Her Dreams.... Part 1

avatar
(Edited)

There was a time when she waited for the sun to come to the horizon everyday. She loved the light and her eyes were so acquainted to it. They always were ready to bear more brightness. She enlightened the dreams in her eyes with the lights the sun showered on her everyday. Every time she absorbed more colours of it and became a better version of herself.

She was happy with who she was. Though she didn’t have the direction for reaching her dreamed destination, yet she had started her journey. She was taking the guidance from the sun and was sure that the paths she had been moving on would take her to something precious. If not one she would reach out to another treasure; but the treasure was sure to come.

She was happily moving on her way with the melodious music of her dreams in her ears. It had magical impact which kept on giving her motivation to continue the journey even if she got tired.

Sometimes, she looked around herself. There were many flowers. She remembered she had planted them. They were blooming fully. Their fragrance was wafting his route and so the journey became more pleasurable.

Listening to the music of her dreams and the fragrance of her achievements she covered several milestones. She had come quite far from her starting point. She was now able to see the destination she yearned for so long. She wanted to run faster but then suddenly she fell.

“What was that?” She asked herself feeling something tied around her feet.
“Oh!” She remembered something. “The guardian is calling me back,” she babbled.

She had promised her guardian that she would be back to her whenever she would call her. For her security, a chain was fastened around her feet so that she could be brought back to her safety zone if she tried reaching something dangerous. Now the guardian had started pulling the chain.
“No,” she cried, “I don’t want to go back. I am quite near to my success.”
“Don’t you remember your promise,” the chain reprimanded.
I do remember,” she pleaded, “but look around me. There is no danger here.
Pointing towards a spot she continued, “Look there! That is going to be my first remarkable success in pursuit of my dreams.” With excitement and hope in her voice she looked towards the chain. “Can you see there is too much gold,” she tried to persuade the chain. “I am very near to attain the treasure for which I have travelled this far walking tirelessly day and night. Please, let me go to bring it off.*”

Before the chain would reply, she heard the voice of her guardian, “Look at your gold carefully, sweetheart. It is molten and hot. You are only looking at its shine but you don’t know it can burn you. It has burnt many others.” The voice paused for a while, then continued in gentle but definitive tone “I cannot let you take the risk. You have to come back now. The journey is over.

“It will not burn me. It is molten but it is gold. It is hot but it is gold. I will make beautiful ornaments out of it. I will learn the skill for doing this. I will take preventive measures.” She wanted to scream these words out loud but what she could do was mere rambling. She didn’t want to disappoint her guardian because she loved her a lot and she knew the guardian loved her more.

The chain started to pull her back to the so-called haven and she kept walking back with heavy heart and tearful eyes.

we must always look for the sun, and drive to our dreams, but, we also must be careful! Remember: get to close and we can get burned! Sometimes, it's good to get pulled back, before we get hurt or disappointed.

I cannot be sure what/if it "real" or not. Is it a dream? A metaphor? An illusion or even different planes of existence?
So many questions swirling in my head, well done, you got me on your hook, looking forward to friday :-)

It sounds like she is a prisoner 😢 I hope her Guardian will try to listen!

Oh goodness! This is so heart storming! For some reason, I acquainted the girl for the Heart and the guardian to the mind, the chain to fear. The heart longs for something but the mind is calculative, logically inclined. The chain is the fear of the unknown. Question is, do we cut out of it? Beautiful! I enjoyed reading!

Wonderfully written, Sis. I could feel the yearning and desperation within her to test the chain, appeal to the guardian and be allowed to venture out a little further to realise her dreams... I hope one day she is allowed to do just that! !LUV !ALIVE !LADY - looking forward to part 2

Lol. Engaging with the fiction has been in my to do list. But juggling is really hectic. At times, no time for what you love to do

OMG . I have read it earlier but forgot to make a comment. The comment supposed to " This fiction is really very interesting and i am waiting for the part two to know what happened later".
But unfortunately electricity was gone that time and my wifi signal became off. Whatever i am making my comment lately 😂.
I will read the second part today for sure.

I'm just now getting to this post - from all the posts... hehehe and have your second one already opened up... but this is so beautiful Amber.

The struggle... is captured so exquisitely!!! I can feel how much longing she has - how far she's come... and she's RIGHT THERE... but what's there? Is it good... or harmful.

Is the guardian overprotective? or looking out for her and seeing what she doesn't?

This story doesn't need to explain any more - this scene is chock full of the turmoil, the beauty, the journey, the perseverance.... my gosh, just gorgeous!! I love it and can't wait to read what happens next!

Perhaps, the guardian has her vision based on her experiences and observations.
Ana had her dreams, her stance, her vision....
Sometimes, it is not but Love and Care that give us the pain.

I liked the story and its length, it seems self-contained, so I'd like to see what will happen in the next parts.

"It is molten but it is gold. It is hot but it is gold."

This sounds bratty, but it's more common (even in adults) that any of us like to admit:

"It's a poison, but it's my poison."

A piece of feedback: Shouldn't it be "her route" or maybe "this route" ...?

Their fragrance was wafting his route


P.S: Thanks for your comments on my entry. !PIZZA !LUV

Thanks for visiting my story. Hehe. I write fiction rarely so your appreciation means a lot.

So far as gold thing is concerned I had a different perspective in my mind. It is like the difference of opinion. The guardian is focused on the danger attached to the treasure while the girl is focused on the treasure it self. You may say, it is like risk attached to any big success venture. If you wanna avoid risk you have to avoid success as well. If success is a desire, risk is to be taken.

Thanks for the last feedback point. It should be her. I will edit it

Thanks once again.

This is one of the laws of universe that I have mixed feelings about. I hate risk, but I think it's necessary~

It is like risk attached to any big success venture. If you wanna avoid risk you have to avoid success as well.
