They Say “Life is too Short To Wait”

The same was the ideology of Rubab. She was impatient sort of passionate. She wanted her dreams to be fulfilled in no time. She wanted to reach skies with rockets at her feet. There was no tomorrow for her in her desires. She was enthusiastic for attaining the gifts life had hidden for her in its treasures. And she wanted them immediately.

May be all she wanted was to gather all happiness in one moment and one person. This was because of her eccentric nature-her nature to think herself centre of the world. Was it not right? She and only she could understand that little girl’s feelings who was she. She and only she could feel what was going on with her. So she was unique in that understanding. She was unique in her own self.

But…. this ideology of her was challenged in a recent event of her life. She was made to think whether it is really important to obtain our wants in the time we want them obtained. Sometimes, to wait for a while multiplies the happiness of this fulfillment.

So what really happened in that event? Let us see from start. What was the event’s background?

She had a celebration at her home and she wanted to treat herself by trying to decorate a cake in a new and different style. So, first step was to bake two sponges of cake, one simple and other black forest.

She gathered all the ingredients a night before celebration just to find out that baking soda was finished. The problem was that the stores were closed down because of night. So she could not bake cake that night and, as her mood went off and a busy day waiting ahead, she did not plan to bake that cake next day. Thus her mood for decorating her special dish spoiled.

The celebration day came. As she expected she could not enjoy that celebration much. See? This was how she was. She wanted everything with childish stubbornness. If provided with these desires then all is well, if not then……..

All else went well in the party.

Near the end of celebration came some unexpected guests. A pleasant surprise! An addition in small bit of sweetness that was present in that day!

She welcomed them and noticed the packet they handed her saying that these were chocolates, and opened them. But what it was in the packet besides chocolates? Can’t you guess?

 What she thought? 

Duh! I could enjoy the celebration if I wasn't so moody.

Can the party start once again?

But in fact the life is too short to start from scratch.
