Fantasy Inspirational Coming of Age

“It raining. Yeap! It’s raining.”

“I’m blooming now.”

A seed shout happily. That shouting shake the earth.

Hello! My existence isn’t human. No, not also an animal. I’m one kind of seeds. My name is only lonely LON. How I get my name? I give it by myself. Yeap, I know that’s funny. Anyway, I want to tell you about my story. Do you want to curious that why I’m shouting? Right? Ok, Let’s start it.

One day my gardener plant at his garden of our ancestor seeds first time. Actually, our type of seeds only grows inside the forest, not in the garden. There is no one see us easily. But at that day, my gardener come to inside the forest and he saw us and he fall in loved our ancestor flowers. So, he picked up one of our ancestors and took it to his home. He tried to plant in his garden, saved the seed from ancestor flower. Then, he succeeded planting our seeds in his garden. He looked so happily, I heard about that from my grandma. I don’t know, is it true or not. And he gave us the name but I don’t know the name because I have never been bloomed. Let me talk about the story continuously. After he succeeded planting us, he tried to sold us in the flower market, but he lives in far away from city. When he wants to go city, he passes desert. So, when he took us as blooming flowers, all flowers would parch after he arrived city. Thus why, he saved as seeds and he would take us to the city and introduced and sold us at that city. He went to city, twice in a year. We bloom in spring and fall, only two seasons. Therefore, he went there for selling in spring and fall.

it’s coming my story now. One spring, he was preparing to go city for selling us. Therefore, he was busy by collecting seeds. He collected not only our seeds but also other type of seeds. He plants various type of flower in his garden. His garden is full of colors and wonderful. He is the best gardener, even though I have ever seen only one, him. He putted separately various types of seeds into small bags. Then, he finished his packing and he changed his shoes. He looked around and he came out from his house. Surely, I was a seed among his packing bags. He went to city by walking, though the forest first then he was passing desert. Whenever he went to city by walking, he had had to take two days and one night long. At desert, he rested at night and he camped by tent that was enough for him.  At that night, seed bags were putted beside of him where he laid in the tent. The sun was rising, the moon was leaving by saying goodbye and see you, my gardener waked up and he folded his tent. At that time, one of stick from his tent touched the rope of seed bags. Then, all seeds fell down on the ground. He seemed upset about that but he picked all seeds quickly, except me. Yes, he left me on the ground where in desert. He didn’t see me. I was left in desert alone. I never have a chance to bloom, as you know, here is in desert.

I have only one wish that I want to bloom as a beautiful flower who fall in love like my gardener. So, even though I’m in desert, my wishing and praying never stop. I never give up on my wish. Time is passing year by year. Now, I left in desert about 2 years long, but I didn’t let me change as a dry seed. Yes, you can think, how it’s possible. It’s possible because of my enthusiasm that I want to live and bloom. I heard trees’ talking from the forest and the city. They shout me to give up and laugh me like how she fools. I didn’t care whatever they said. My wish and goal must fulfil somehow at one day what I believe in me. I expected and prayed somebody who see me and to take with them or my gardener take a rest in this place again and to see me. Actually, that’s not work easily. As a foolish one, sometime I was expecting to rain in this desert. Yes, I know, this was the craziest one. While those 2 years, I responded to all of other trees’ blaming on me, but now I stopped. I worked by myself; I still believed in me and I knew that I will bloom one day as the most beautiful flower. That my confidence gave me courage to still stand in this desert alone. It’s 5 years passing. My breath was slowly and I was weaker to endure in this desert. Although I felt weak, I had had no idea to give up on my wish. I couldn’t let my wish go until I die. I believed clearly; I will bloom one day. My soul couldn’t let me down that wish. So, my last ability was that I pray to the rain of GOD, ZEUS. I prayed every day for my last chance, but this was the craziest choice to do. There was no history that raining in desert. I wanted to try my best, I prayed fervently with my whole soul. I never feel my heart is sinking on my situation, I only focused what I want.

When ZEUS was in his meeting, but his chair was shaking because of my praying. Thus why, he looked down and found the reason what it was. After that, he founded me and he wondered why his chair was shaking because of that tiny seed. Then, he checked it out by himself about me. After he knew, he collected all clouds where had all over the world. He changed weather cloudy over in this desert where I was left. Then, he made rain for me to bloom in this desert. Now, it was raining.

Now, I had chances to bloom. When raining, that was causing only in this desert like a magic. Then, ZEUS asked for Flora (Flower Goddess) and she created a flower forest in this desert. At only one day, I was also bloom and desert changed as a place of most beautiful flower forest. I’m pretty happy now. I knew myself. Sometime, we need to believe ourself than others. Ok, this is my story ‘THE END’. I want to say you, as a last sentence that

“If you want something, make wish with your whole heart.

And,

Just do what you believe, sill stand for your soul.”
