I was sitting in the corner of the room sipping coffee from my favourite coffee mug and was enjoying the pleasant moonlight from the window. An old diary had caught my attention and I began reading it. As I started reading it I began to feel nostalgic. Then I saw my little girl coming into the room and I hid the diary from her. She was looking a bit gloomy than usual. She said that she wasn't feeling sleepy and wanted to hear a different story from me than the usual one. I started narrating the story by saying the title which is 'Hero'. She got really interested in the title.
"Long ago there lived a boy who aspired to be a hero. Not a reel hero but a real hero for his life. He wanted to be a hero for every person around him. He had no other passion. This passion turned into madness and he used to watch a lot of reel heroes and admire their ideology and mannerisms. He easily got attracted to people who were courageous and heroic. In this way, our hero started his journey. But the people around him were not very kind enough. They made fun of him, they said that he was worthless. But he was really strong and he didn't give up on his dream. But the society turned to be a parasite for his dream and the force was really strong that the boy got demoralised. The dynamic and energetic boy became silent and very calm. He got disheartened and lived in his own world lost in his own thoughts. He made pen as his dearest friend and began to ink his thoughts in his diary. Every day in his life seemed the same. He used to sit near the lakeside all alone every day after his college time. He spent most of his time reading books and writing.
One fine day there came a new girl to his college. She looked like an angel. He couldn't believe his eyes after looking at her. He could feel some unknown happiness in him when he looked at her eyes. He was afraid to talk to her because of the bad past he had. One fine day the boy saw her approaching him. He began to tremble, she came up to him and started talking to him. His voice was shaky and his heartbeat has gone up but he also started talking to her. He started feeling strange while he was talking to her. It felt like he was experiencing all his lost happiness when he was talking to her. It was the first time he came out of his fear. He started being cheerful. As time passed they both became good friends. He never told about his past to her. One day an article written by him caught her attention. She began reading it and she was amazed after reading the article. She ran to him and asked him why he never told her that he loved writing. He just didn't explain anything to her and walked away. Later that evening she again asked him then he took her to the lakeside and explained her that his life was small, lonely. He explained her about the bad past he had and that is the reason he never loved people around him. She asked him the reason for not completing the book which he started. He told that he could not explain her anymore and asked her to leave him alone. Before she left that place she told him " Hatred is never ended by hatred but by love. And if you ever loved me finish your past".
She not only left that place but also from his life. He began to lose his charm as she left him. He remembered her words and started writing the book which he started. He often used to remember her how friendly he used to be with her. It took him 3 months to complete the book. He released the book with her name so that she can come back to him. The book became really successful. His college organised a meet to congratulate him. After the release of the book he was known to everyone. Every person who made fun of him were talking great things about him. His classmates were really proud of him. Everyone were congratulating him. There were many people around him. He was really surprised about himself. The atmosphere around him was really noisy. In that noise he heard a voice, a known voice shouting aloud "Hero!!". He turned back and it was her. He always had a wish that his loved ones calling him "Hero" aloud. He ran to her and hugged her tight and whispered in her ears" How did you know about my deepest wish?". She showed him his personal diary in which he wrote about his aspiration." The little girl was really amazed after she listened to the story. She asked," Who is the girl in the story dad?". Then I told her it was her mother. She missed her mother a lot and she just went to bed without saying a word. I could sense her sadness.
After she slept I found the old diary which I hid from the little girl. As I picked the diary I found one of her pictures. After seeing that picture I couldn't stop my tears. I remembered those days when we loved each other. The one thing which I can never tell my daughter is that I am not her father...
His first love called him hero for which he became the hero for her daughter's life
