My son's first birthday

My son, Rudhvin Lakshan, is a gift from God that I asked for three years ago. He was my reward for having waited. He was born for me and is celebrating his first birthday today.

He requires all of your blessings and prayers to continue living happily in this world for another hundred years.

Bless my child.

I remember how happy I was when he was in my womb. I will never forget the first time he saw and touched me after he was born.

Only his laughter and happiness will bring me joy in the years to come.

Man has created thousands of pleasures in this world, but nothing beats a child's smile.

Happy birthday, my dear.

D. Aswini 

 I will meet all of you again in ten days.

Thanks for your encouragement.

Within a minute, I noticed an elephant walking toward us. My thoughts wandered to how many more animals there were in this forest, but she drew me back and dashed toward the elephant.

I was iinitially scared to see her run towards the elephant, but then I realized she is familiar with all of the animals in the forest. I laughed at her childish behavior because she is my forest fairy. I assumed she understood how animals communicate.

She turned and motioned for me to approach her. I walked slowly, amazed by the elephant.

"My friend, Daniel." She spoke cheerfully.

I was determined not to share my fear with her. "I don't have as many friends as you." I couldn't tell where or which animal would appear next in that dense forest. I looked around and smiled at her.

I believe she recognized my fear by the way I looked and smiled. So she reached the point where I had started. "I remind you that there is no one in this forest except us." She looked at me as she softly kissed the elephant.

I need to ask her one question. I smiled, trying to be realistic.

She looked at what I was saying and asked, "What is it?" She inquired innocently.

"I can't say, but I'd like to tell you one thing." I looked at her directly and could tell she was interested in what I was about to say.

"You are so beautiful." It was difficult for me to conceal my love from her.

When I said that, she was stunned and looked at me. I abruptly grabbed her hands and stared into her eyes.I never imagined seeing an angel in my life, but now she is standing before me." She's mine. I realized I couldn't leave her alone in the forest.

I approached her to close the small gap between us, but she said nothing else. Her expression indicated that she liked me. So I bravely touched her cheeks and looked at her lips, anticipating a kiss.

When I heard the elephant's sound, my legs pushed me back in terror. My gaze wandered in search of an elephant.

She bowed her head and smiled warmly.

I was told in my mind that the bear appears to be fine when compared to her. "I mean, what I wanted to say was that I came here looking for someone." My words stumbled as I thought about being with her.

I must tell her that I cannot leave the forest without her, but I am not in the mood to do so right now because I came here for another reason.

I had completely forgotten why I had come here and about Mr Michael's family. I wondered if I could ask her for help, but she was about to send me out of the forest.

When she heard what I said, she turned to me. “There is no one here.” She finished and turned her gaze away from my side.

“How do you speak this language fluently?” I kept inquiring about her, forgetting what to ask.

“My mother just taught.” She replied casually.

“Are you here with your mother?” surprised. “I would like to meet your mother.” I persisted her.

For a few seconds we had only silence. She broke the silence after thinking serenely. “You haven’t told me anything about you yet and Why would you like to visit my mother?” She stood quietly and stared at me in amazement.

She smiled because she understood everything. "Let it go, but leave this forest immediately."

If you want to join me, I'm ready to leave the forest right now. "Do you want to live in this forest?" I complained inwardly.

"What?" she asked.

"You keep talking." I averted my gaze from her.

I will leave you near your car because "this forest is extremely dangerous." She waited for me while standing.

However, I began to ask her something to stop her when I realized she would not abandon me in this situation. "How long have you been here?" I asked in a deep, icy, and odd tone.

"Since my earliest years." She began to walk as she spoke, which saddened me.

I took two steps forward before grabbing her wrist and stopping her. "Would you please stop walking?" I took a deep breath to relax myself. "I can't go today, and I'm not going alone." My voice was filled with enthusiasm.

"What does it mean to be unable to travel alone?" "Will you accompany the bear, tiger, and lion?" She inquired curiously.

"The Bear?" I asked shockingly. "Why did you remember that?" When I think of the bear, I get terrified.

"You were prepared to fight the bear!" So, why do you feel afraid when you hear the name? She said mockingly, without looking into my eyes, and continued to walk.

I felt a cold, intense pain in my forehead. However, I opened my eyes to see her lovely face.

I forced myself to sit up and started admiring the beautiful forest fairy as a natural wonder. She saved my life, which I appreciated.

"May I ask for your name?" Until then, I had no reason to know anything about her.

"Mercy." She responded with a suave tone.

"That name suits you." I smiled and spoke while looking into her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Her eyes narrowed, but they were stunning. "Many people have come to this forest hoping to explore and discover new things, but no one has seen me yet." She paused for a moment."I had to get into a situation to save you, so you are the only person who has seen me." When she finished speaking, she looked up to see how I felt.

"Whatever the situation?" I asked abruptly and without thinking about it.

"You'd be stuck with that bear if I hadn't rescued you." She spoke confidently, and her bravery was admirable.

"No, I was ready to fight the bear even if you didn't save." It is harder for me to maintain my dignity than the bear attack.
