Miss you Guys!

"Baba, you tell me a story and I sleep", said three years old son. " Okay! First shut your eyes covering in a quilt and I tell you a story" I told him putting my hands round his neck and comforting him to sleep. I saw him blinking by and then twisting his face. I was thinking what story to tell. I used to tell him the stories about the train, lion, mountains in Nepal before he would go sleep. He pinched my nose and said, " baba, are you a superman?" " Yes, I am. And your superman is going to tell you a story", I replied kissing in his forehead. " Can you fly like a Superman and Batman?" He asked. " No my little brat,no. Nobody can fly except birds and aeroplanes. Television is telling all false stories, you know", I tried to assure him. " Aren't you a big man ?" he asked me again. " Okay, I am. Now, let your big-man make some stories". He lowered his  eyelids shrinking his eyebrows. " if you disturb in the middle, I will stop telling you the story and I never tell you. Is this okay?" "Okay", he replied quickly. Here it goes.

“Crunch, crunch! The ruff leaves crackled under my feet. I was shuffling to the edge of the road. I saw tall, brown trunked trees that stood over me like giants. I heard the birds chirping soft sweet sounds that sounded like music. A white furred rabbit sneaked into a lawn by the road. I felt the cool wind blowing against my checks. My nose sniffed a beautiful red rose. All of a sudden I heard a rustling sound in the bushes. I looked around. I peered into the bushes. 

That was when I saw it! It had a dark blue dress with twinkling purple stars on it. She had rosy red checks and big blue eyes. She had a set of pale wings that shined in the sun. And in her hand was a golden wand. It was a .. a … a … FAIRY! My mouth dropped open. My eyes got big and wide. I was shocked. “Are you a fairy” I asked. “Yes” she said. “I will grant you one wish.” I thought and thought. Finally it hit me! “I wish I could go back in time to see…to see…to see the dinosaurs! “Are you sure you want to wish for that,” asked the fairy. “Yes,” I said. “Okay" she said. “Your wish is granted”. 

 " Baba, who is Fairy?" My son interrupted. I thought he was giving me a hard time. I had told him often that his Superman and Batman were the myths. And myths are not real.  Now, how could I make him believe my Fairy exists and my story is true. "Fairies are tiny, often beautiful human-like creatures (sometimes with wings) that appear in legends and folklore around the world." I could sense that he didn't understand me. "They are like gods and goddesses. They have magical power " I added. I knew that his mom used to tell him about gods and goddesses. He trusts his mom than his story teller, Dad.  I continued the story.

Suddenly we were back in time to the dinosaurs! “Bye”, called the fairy. “wait”, I yelled. But she didn’t hear me. “I guess I’m on my own,” I said. I looked around me. Stegosauruses chomped on plants and whacked at trees with their tails. Pterodactyls flew over my head and swiped down into the water for food. Triceratops charged at rocks and protected their young. Long necked brontosauruses cooled themselves of in the stream. I climbed onto one and rode it. “Weeeee” I yelled. Suddenly we heard a loud noise. Boom, boom grrrr. All of a sudden a tyrannosaurus rex ran out of a bush. Everybody ran including me but the T-Rex saw me. He ran after me. “Ahhhh” I screamed. “Help me somebody, ahhhh, help me fairy help me!” All of a sudden the fairy appeared. “Help me fairy, help me,” I begged. The fairy waved her magic wand over me. Soon I was invisible. The T-Rex turned around in the other direction to look for something else to eat. “Can I go back to my house,” I said. “But you can only have one wish” said the fairy. “Please, please, please” I said. “All right” she said. She waved her magic wand and soon I was back at my house. I felt safe and relieved that I was back home with my smart son, beautiful daughter and awesome wife. I still remember that fairy. I wish she was still here I decided that I would never wish to go back to the dinosaur time agin.

"Baba, I've seen the dinosaurs in my computer. But what are other creatures you told me? "They are like dinosaurs. I will show you them in my IPad tomorrow." " No" show me now. I go to grab the ipad". I tried to hold him hard not to let him go out of the bed. There was only the blanket in my arms and Ipad beside me. I woke up and put on the light. The room was vacant and dump. It was 12.00 noon. There was light snow outside covering his lovely car. 

I whispered in my head, " I miss you guys".
