Present

By Sandhya Kiran Chowdary Peram

I am Pari, and I live in a small town with my father and my mother, who love me a lot and care for me like a little child. I grew up to be a beautiful young lady and was married before I left. I wanted to give my family a sweet little present, so I wrote a small story and made a video for them. I invited them and played this story in the TV, now Let me tell you the story.

This happened many years ago, Once in Heaven, there was a god who loved creating new things every day, so he kept making different kinds of animals, trees, birds, and other types of worlds.

Then, one day he was bored and wanted to create a new creation but needed clarification as to what to make; then, while thinking, the queen of angels came to him and saw him thinking and asked him,

" O God of Universe, Creator of all beings, What are you thinking?"

After hearing the Queen of Angel God replied,

" O my dear queen of angels, I am thinking of creating something new in my universe and unable to understand what to make precisely. "

Then the queen of angels replied,

" O Dear God of the universe, Create something valuable, but anyone cannot sell. Something that is beautiful but not envied by anyone. Just like our nature, you create something kind and loving—a feeling of Heaven by looking at it. "

God thought for some time and replied,

"You are right; I will create a beautiful sweet fairy who is valuable, and no one can sell her, whose beauty is admired, not envied by anyone, which is kind and loving just like nature. "

And then God started making a beautiful doll using golden sand as the skin of her body, beautiful pearls as her pretty eyes, and shiny long black hair as a beauty spot for her.

After looking at her, both God and Queen of Angels were mesmerised.

Then All of a sudden, someone from behind called God; as he turned to see who it was, his hand hit the baby's head, and it fell from heaven.

Immediately God and the Queen of the Angels were worried, and the Queen of Angels flew from heaven toward the earth. God was concerned even about the angel as she was flying fast and could hurt herself, so God came down to earth. But when God reached the ground, it was too early, and before he touched the world's surface, he used his magic towards Angel and baby so they both didn't get hurt and created a connection link to all three of them.

When God's feet touched the ground, a connecting locket formed in the air and fell on earth. Then God forgot why he came on this earth and started living like any other human; after a few years Queen of Angels came onto land, and as she touched the ground, she forgot her identity, just like God. Then One day, As God was going Queen of Angels appeared in front of him, and he immediately fell in love and felt some connection with her. Then They got to know each other and then got married. After a few months, as the Queen of Angels was walking, a baby from heaven invisible fell into her tummy. The very next day, Queen of Angels was pregnant. They both were pleased and waited for a few months, and the baby fairy was finally born.

They cared for the little fairy so well; she was gorgeous, just like God had made her to be. And people admired her beauty, and everyone was happy looking at her. Then, as she grew older, she got some pictures in her mind which reminded her of her past. But she couldn't correctly understand those pictures.

So, One fine day she was roaming around the fields around her and sat under a tree thinking about those images in her head, when there was a sudden heavy stroke of wind which blew and a chain with a bright locket fell in her hand. As soon as she touched the locket, she remembered her past and recognised who she was. Now, remind her parents who they were before she took care of her human responsibilities. She gave them a surprise.

Hold on! Do you want to know what the surprise she planned was? I asked my parents, stopping the video of the story playing in front of them.

They were surprised I stopped such an exciting story that I gave them as a gift. Curious, they asked,

" What is the surprise the Fairy gave their parents, Pari? "

Then I replied,

" Mom, Dad, Can you open the box I placed beside you under the table? "

They were surprised to know that and turned towards the table and took out the box under it. As my dad opened it and saw the necklace, he was stunned, and when he took it in his hand, he remembered his identity and was extremely happy. Then, he looked towards Mom and gave her the necklace; as she took it in her hand in surprise, she recalled her identity too. And all three of us smiled in shock, knowing our identity. Then, we all realised

it was not just a story I gave them as their gift, but I gave them their identity back; my father was the God of Universes, My mother was the Queen of Angels, and I was the baby fairy. As you see, my name is Pari, which in Indian Language Hindi means Fairy.

So, I left happy with my husband to fulfil all the responsibilities as we took birth as humans and promised to wait for each other to return to heaven together after we finished all our duties in human form. So, I am finishing my small story of the present I gave my parents to recall their past.
