Lover Boy


Her sound sleep was disturbed when she heard a thud.
it was 7am on a Saturday morning, and her child was up.
She whispered to herself, "oh boi, hez up to the weekend routine"
and quickly got up and looked out of her window.

She could see the boy running in the backyard.
and he ran towards the tree and started digging.
She saw that he kept something.
Later, he covered it with mud.

When she went in kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.
He was still outside, but removing empty bottles from trash can.
but when he walked in from the backdoor, and she looked at him.
That bit of dirt on his face spoke the boy's true heart.

The boy had a crush over her ex-neighbor.
ever since he was 5 years old, and she was 11.
But she moved to a place which was far from his.
and it was a lil more than 2 years now.

Mother finally asked the boy.
"What you did since morning"
Boy filled his eyes with excitement,
and went on and on about his plans to bring the girl back.

Ever Saturday morning, he would write love notes to her,
Nicely fold em, and put em in an empty bottle.
Get big balloons ready,
and also making friends with pigeons.

Sunday would also be his busy day.
As he had to throw bottles in ocean.
and also Love-Notes tied on Pigeons and Balloons.
and make preparations for next weekend.

Father was fed up of him.
Mother would still encourage him and buy him balloons.
This way, he never lost his hope of getting her back.
... and one fine day, she calls him saying what she saw;
a pigeon with a balloon in mouth, sitting on top of a bottle.
