Indigenous Inspirational Suspense

Patrolling In a dimly lit room, gazing as far he could, it really was a massive room; he just couldn't see any end. Gerik was feeling warm and contended (it was winter) still the lights seemed to be providing him a relaxing atmosphere.He was walking at a normal pace; his each footstep was making a heart thumping sound, desperately waiting what's coming up next. His choices or his decisions are going to decide his destiny. He was ready. He told himself or maybe to the others(he was alone). And to his surprise,someone seemed to have heard it. He was standing in front of doors. His body seemed to be letting his every movement resist. He swallowed. The doors were not ordinary ones. They looked so beautiful and perfectly oriented. Now,he had to make a choice which is which is going to decide like everything. His life, his pain, his fears, his - his destiny. That was a pregnant pause moment, he just couldn't,but he also knew he had to.He had come till here, every part of is body was vibrating furiously as he tried to extend his hand to the handle. But he was also not a baby boy to get scared and run away, he could only think of two possible options that could be present behind the door, either death or heaven. I mean,he knew that there were fair chances of having something really horrible at the back of his door it could be anything that could give him death or pain beyond death; which is even worse. The intensity of his heart was getting heavier that he could not bear it. "Do it, just do it", he repeated desperately to his mind. But-but its hard really hard , it's insane, who would want death to simply knock over the door and u just open the door to get it , but he also knew if death was meant to be u can't just stop it.Better die like a passionate noble than a filthy ordinary man. He was actually now ready, he was now able to get more control over his mind and think properly, he ordered his mind to let the hand open the door. This time it worked, it listened to him. His hands gripped the handle and he simply pushed the second one; he closed his eyes , it was done now,he must face whatever is the result. He took a step or two without opening his eyes to feel whether everything was okay or not. There was no sound except soft movement of air. He opened em'. And-

It was heaven. Seriously a heaven.His mouth fell open. It was splendiferous. I mean,honestly it ws so beautiful; nature, waterfalls and continuously falling crystal white snowflakes. The air was soo refreshing and it seemed like his eyes were dreaming. He couldn't believe it was - it was a right choice. He forgot all the sufferings, all the bad memories he ever had. There was some other level of happiness and a relief in his heart. His destiny was not so bad after all. He was happy he was satisfied for the first ever time in his life . Even if it was a dream he longed never to wake up. Gerik was proud of his choice and actually believed that -that it is our choices that can make the all difference in life. No matter how many failures u face, no matter how hatred u get one day; u will get and surely get the paying of ur hardwork. Believe it!You surely will. There he was enjoying and enjoying. Well he deserved it didn't he?

Now,before entering that door. He was just a regular man or maybe lesser than regular. He has done so much in his life but his destiny didn't seem to work for him. He was an engineer, a really good engineer but he never got any importance for his work. I mean, they are loads of people like that. But u could not just give up.You have got to work even harder . So did he. But sometimes u cannot do anything in front of circumstances. You have just got to accept it. U can't be happy without getting what u want. That is the truth. But u have to accept if it doesn't work the way u want it to be. U still have to find a way a way to be happy. I know that's difficult, really difficult plus what to do when u also don't have anything else to be happy about well in that case leave it to the destiny and do the best possible stuff u can. Don't leave everything like a coward. Don't let anyone show u sympathy. Be strong not weak cuz we know that no one likes to be a friend with the weaklings not even the air. Life is not meant to be fair but atleast don't ruin the little bit fairness left in ur life. U feel completely breakdown at some moment, the only person who overcomes with that is the real king or if u are girl like me :)) a queen.! U are not weak. You are the one and only. You are good, I believe that. And if u would also,no one can stop you from getting what u want not even the destiny. Gerik did so and now he is happy. Well, not academically but naturally. You can find happiness even if in the smallest stuff if u only remember to turn on light like Dumbledore said. He is now glad till then he is having this enjoyment, it's not for his whole life but he is going to change really after this and so would u if you make little changes in ur life and try the best possibilities to give yourself a nice piece of satisfaction deep down ur heart. Share, explore, trust and do it, it will so happen some day or the day after that someday:D . Gerik is changed. He is now understanding the truth and accepting it. That's the strength u need; and i am sure u will get it soon . REALLY SOON.

Thanking You
