Through my Eyes

Through my Eyes

A Story by neeji

My phone does not show the blank screensaver now. Every now and then it will be pressed with my fingers and the screen always remained lighted up. And each time it ended up in the picture gallery and in the next few minutes I will find myself gazing at the photo, as though I never saw it before. Very funny it seems, and the funniest part is the fact that, it was I alone who saw the picture right from the beginning or better I could say from a blank white page to the face which is recognizable now. No way to mark it as a just a self flatter after all. It was something I feel attached to. And it was absolutely something that I feels like my own...

True to speak, I did not have any serious thoughts when the picture was about to take birth. I felt like to have a sweet memory in a piece of paper and without even a second thought I sat with my pencils.  And that is all I remember and eventually got myself lost in it and did not even care about the hours that flew by. I had a strong urge to complete it until I had glance at the clock hands and I made up my mind to stop for now, not only because of the late time, but also due to the fear of getting caught by my sister who will definitely suspect in sitting so late. So I gave up that day, but succeeded in keeping my promise the very next day. Oh.. and at last It was there, in front of me, smiling.. And clearly anyone could spot a smile on me too, at the same time. Yes, I was satisfied and of course very happy.

And that was the beginning.. for finding a reason why I spend so much of time looking at the photograph.. I really don't know the perfect answer, but indeed had many options. It might be because it was a portrait and it belongs to my best friend's and of course because of the fact that it was I who stroked the dark and pale shades on it. Or it might be because of a big way to say a sorry after a long hurting. Or is it what is called love? or something else? The only thing my mind could shout aloud is, I feel so attached to it.. and so with that smiling face..
