A drop of tear starts flowing through her cheek and she looks beautiful like before in the light of fading sun in the sunset, sitting in front of the quiet lake. She is crying again. She will start writing again, and this will be her own story with a strange experience.
This is a story of a young lady, Olivia, an author by her own choice and a working lady. She is intelligent, beautiful, caring, but few things in her life changed her perspective towards life and the view towards the people in her life completely. Until she met that `weeper` guy Samuel. For the past few years Olivia was a changed person, behaving like an impulsive, arrogant lady. She was rude, she used to enjoy hurting people and felt good about it. But she was not like this before, until that tragic chapter in her life. She had a broken relationship and her faith and love in other people was totally gone. For years she never cried. In her mind somehow it was planted that everyone is going to hurt her, like her broken relationship and the person involved in it. So before hurting herself by any means of relations, she used to hurt them back with her recently developed rude behavior.
There is a lake in the countryside, a bit inside from the freeway. It is called Lake Lisona. This lonely, quiet lake is known to very few people. Local people call it `The listener`. They say that this lake listens to everyone. Olivia used to visit this quiet, lonely lakeside very often. She loved to stop in her drive back home and sit in the lake side for hours. As if this Lake Lisona is the only listener of her thoughts and life stories. In this lonely lakeside quite often a guy could be seen writing something, sitting in the top of the rocks in the distant side of this lake. After noticing him for a few days, Olivia decided to explore the secret behind it. One day she decided to go there and ask him about the writings.
`What are you writing in your diary?` -- Olivia asked him after climbing the rock. She was standing behind him.
`My story, Come sit beside me` – Samuel replied to Olivia.
`Why you always choose this distant side and this rock to sit and always write here?`
`I feel closer to the nature, and my thoughts can breath more in this loneliness.`
Olivia was able to relate herself with Samuel. Their conversation started in this way.
Whenever they used to visit this lakeside they discussed a lot about their life and experiences. They noticed that they share same kind of childhood, similar upbringing. Samuel noticed that Olivia changed a lot after her broken relationship. She was not like this before. As a good friend he decided to take her back to her previous life. She will be kind again like before. So Samuel started listening patiently her story. He always convinced her to move out of the hatred she was carrying in her heart and soul. He was trying to change her mind, change her soul. But she was too much furious about loving or believing someone. She never cried for years. Moreover she stopped writing. Only thing she gained for over these years is hatred, disbelieve and the power of hurting others. Samuel realized that she has become a different person, a demon within a beauty. So he started telling his own story. About his lost love, his relations, people misjudging him, his sorrows everything. In spite of all these difficulties all these sorrows, Samuel never had any complaints against life. He is kind, he is generous. Every time when he used to tell his stories, he ends up with crying. Samuel was very emotional and soft kind of guy, who loves to be someone`s friend, wish to be heard. But Olivia never cried by hearing his life stories.
Gradually they became good friends. They started their interactions more frequent. But their meeting and conversations were situated only in this lakeside. Out of this they were strangers. They never took each others contact information, address or anything. Almost every day they used to meet and talk here. After many days Samuel realized that Olivia is changing. His constant effort to change her mind towards outer world is taking some shape. She is going back to her normal nature. She is becoming kind, her rudeness disappearing gradually.
One day on the way back home Olivia came in this lake area and found this letter on the rocks.
Dear friend Olivia,
Life is too short to hate someone everyday. Start every morning with a kind heart. If you see properly, you will find love is everywhere, all around you. Start loving people again. And my request to you, please start writing again. My journey with you was till this point. Someone somewhere needs me more than you do now. You have changed; you will be that sweet Olivia again. You will not find me ever in this lake side again. But you will remain in my heart for ever and you will be there in my writings. May god bless you dear Olivia.
Your friend,
Samuel.
