Four Eyes Two Hearts..!

By Sai Crishna

Aah! Finally out of the box. This water could have been much fresher... Hey you, wake up. Hey!

heyyyy buddy, wakey wakey... mmm, who's that sinning to disturb my sleep? What are you, a fish?

I'm a gold fish. You can call me Bubbles, and you? I'm a camera, you can call me Clickz... ho you are

a camera, that means you are the one who clicks pictures right? asked Bubbles... Yeah! nodded

Clickz... So you are a gift to that birthday girl? asked Bubbles... Clickz again nodded and asked what

about you? I too am a gift from yesterday, said Bubbles... Your life might be pretty boring alone in

that fish bowl? said Clickz... Yes got no other option, said Bubbles... So did to take any interesting

pictures from yesterday's birthday party? asked Bubbles... Yeah plenty of, but there is something

even more interesting, said Clickz... Wow! What's that? asked Bubbles... The birthday girl's eyes,

just look at them how pretty they are, their colour, their shape, the way they look, everything's just

perfect about those eyes, said Clickz... Woah! Wait a second. I just want to jump and swim in those

eyes, said Bubbles...

Snap out of dreams goldy. You just have to feel lucky that those eyes are gonna look at you everyday, said

Clickz...You must have to be the luckiest one here, you got her pictures with you, said Bubbles in a jealous

tone...whatever, what must be her name? When are we gonna see her again? What must be her character?

said Clickz... Hazel ! An anonymous voice came out of nowhere... Bubbles and Clickz were wondering where

that voice came from and then found out a glasses lying on a table beside a bed in that room. It seemed those

glasses were not used forever, it was in all dust. Who are you? asked Clickz... Those glasses didn't bother

answering the question and continued to speak... Hazel, name of those eyes is Hazel. Her name defines her

gold colour. May be it's not just her colour, but the way she saw everything with the value of gold. Moon might

have felt lucky when she looked at him. Stars might have blushed brighter to grab her attention. Empathy has

never left those eyes. May be it's not just her character, but an addiction. For a moment Bubbles and Clickz

just lost in the way of how those glasses speaking about Hazel. They snapped out and Clickz asked again, dude

who are you?

I'm Optic, you can see I'm a set of glasses, said those

glasses...Optic huh! Do you know those eyes? You don't

seem a gift from yesterday's party. You might be an old

acquaintance in this house, said Clickz...Do I know her?

May be it's more than I know her. What can I call her? A

friend? That would be wrong. Love? We never expressed

our loving terms. Yep, a soulmate, said Optic...A soulmate?

In what way it is different from love? Shouted

Bubbles...Woah goldy, stop that screaming, said

Optic...Actually he likes her, said Clickz...Optic smiled and

said, expected nothing less from her charm...You are not

allowed to smile at me, said Bubbles angrily...I can feel your

jealousy all over the room, said Optic...Leave him, tell me

when did you fall in love with her? Asked Clickz

curiously....When did I? Optic smiled and said, every

morning when sun shines through that window, me lying

on that table watching those eyes sleep innocently, who

wouldn't ever fall in love with those eyes? Everyday, I fell in

love with her everyday...And in the meanwhile the girl

walks in. It felt the environment in the room hit different

when those eyes opened. Clickz felt cameras would forget

to capture looking at her. For the first time ever Bubbles

felt suffocating in the water when the girl came near the

fish bowl and Hazel was looking at him and the only

distance between them was that water. It was then when

they were feeling the best times of their existence, the girl

left that room.

Clickz and Bubbles were zoned out on the door that girl walked through. Clickz came to senses and

saw Bubbles was still day dreaming so deeply as if he were dead. Suddenly Clickz remember about

Optic and was searching for him here and there in rush. Dude, she came in, said Clickz...Optic

nodded...Why didn't you talk to her? Asked Clickz...Optic went silent...In a doubtful manner Clickz

asked, why are quivering? Is it cold here? May be this is what love does to us sometimes, said Optic...I

didn't get you, said Clickz...Suddenly Bubbles came out of dreaming and said, hey you duplicate eyes,

your girl walked in and you didn't even talk to her...Optic smiled and said, see Clickz we are like fish

and love is like water. And sometimes the person who puts us in this water is the only one who takes

us out of it and leave us to suffocating...You mean she left you? Asked Clickz...I don't know? Said

Optic... What do you mean? Said Clickz ..I don't know if she left me. She has kept me hanging to her

love, said Optic...

So now I can hit on her, said Bubbles...Clickz got annoyed and said,

you are such a foolish fish. Your colour is gold, but mind is all

gutter...You just envy the way how I have more chances than you to

get Hazel, said Bubbles...Such a waste of existence you are.

Whatever, Optic can we know the story from the very beginning?

Like what happened? Said Clickz...Optic sighed, cleared his throat

and started... Love! Having feelings, talking for hours, hugging and

kissing, not being able to survive without eachother, these all are not

love. From being chosen is what, when and where love comes from. I

was chosen by Hazel. In a shop where I have rotten for years, she

chose me to to be her's. She made me feel that my faults were never

a problem to have me. Even in an ocean with hideous waves, she

gave me hope to row the boat smoothly. What would someone want

if being chosen is so loving. If only words are the gates to

understanding, Hazel and I would have never been in a same room.

Hazel can't speak. We never spoke to eachother, but the

understanding was always there. In those little eyes, she has shown

an entire world. Now for what we have needed words between us?

Through me she was prettier, however without me she was the

prettiest. Yet she chose to see the world through me over being the

prettiest.

Though we had character differences, we never saw anything differently. Whatever I've shown her

she has seen it, whatever she wanted to see I've shown her. The days when she was happy, she

would glow differently. If she was sad, she would shed some tears. I wished I had hands to wipe

those tears atleast for once. The hardest days were when the girl forgets to wear me. I would be

staring at the window thinking when would sun get tired and fell of his feet. And when she comes

and wears me, I would know what missing someone feels like by looking at Hazel. in normal times

Hazel blinks normally. When she is happy she would blink very fastly and the days when she misses

me she won't blink for long time. She would just keep looking at me to cover all the time that she

missed me.You duplicate eyes, you are gonna burn me out of jealous. How lucky you are to have

someone like Hazel, said Bubbles...You can shut your mouth Goldy, said Clickz and added, it was

beautiful all the way, but what happened that created a wall between you both? That's the

question. That's the question I too always had, said Optic...Blah...blah...you drag a lot duplicate

eyes. Why don't you straight come to the point? May be you are the one did something that created

the space between you both, said annoyed Bubbles.

Aah! wish I could kill him, said Clickz and asked Optic to

continue... Optic continues- I too don't know when does it

happen and why? But all of a sudden, day by day, she started

ignoring me slowly. Every morning Hazel would be very

excited for just a small glance at me. That excitement got

slowly vanished. She refused to see the world through me

like I was forcing her. The eyes that showed how big the

world is, have also shown how big the suffering could be and

how small you can feel when ignored. Now without being

her's I feel like I'm blind, no vision at all. I think without her I

serve no purpose. It's just vanity I could see. I served some

purpose to those eyes. If only I ever could have their one

ability, I would choose crying. If only those tears could

express the pain I feel, I would want to cry her every tear out.

It's all purposeless if you cry your heart out here. The matter

is between you and Hazel. And you need to speak to her to

have the clearance, said Clickz...No, I'm not supposed to

speak to her about this. We had it clear from the beginning

that if we ever couldn't understand eachother, it was all

nonsense that we started. I will have to figure it out that what

went wrong, said Optic...But how are you gonna do that?

Asked Clickz...This world has had us met and the same world

is challenging me. If I could stand till the last minute, it would

answer me, said Optic...

The sun has set and the clock is ticking to sleep. Bubbles and Clickz hit the bed pretty early. The girl

walked into the room holding a book in her hand. She laid on the bed and started reading few lines

from that book loudly out. She went like... " Out there in the sky, far away from the earth, moon is

loved by many. Close to earth's heart,if moon visits earth and when the collision damages

everything, will it be loved the same by any"? When the girl was reading this Hazel was looking in

the book and simultaneously she was also looking at Optic. Opitc felt it quite strange. He thought

why is she looking at me like she wants to tell me something? He listened to what the girl was

reading. The girl slept and Optic stayed awake all the night thinking about the lines that girl read.

The next day in the morning the girl left. It would be all better if sun would never rise, said Bubbles

yawning...Optic, you woke up already? Said Clickz...I never slept yesterday night, said Optic

smiling...What were you doing? Hunting ghosts? Said Bubbles...Optic explained them both what

happened yesterday night after they slept and said he figured out something...Bubbles and Clickz at

the same time with curiosity shouted, what is that?
