A farewell to my clouded sky ....

"On a moonlight night my only wish would be to see you " he kept whispering those words and tossing the snow around using his leg, smiling and mumbling endlessly those words .Its a cold January night with a moon playing hide and seek,one of those nights that makes the noises sound clearer and louder.That makes your own little lonely world important,that makes your heart skip a little bit louder and gives you a clear purpose .Maybe to survive this cold night and finally arrive to your sweet little home ,where a warm fireplace and a gentle smile anticipates you eagerly.
He stands hesitant for a moment ,takes of his right pocket an old letter accompanied by the pleasant smell of fresh mandarin, that was given by a kindhearted coworker. The cold and the light snow that accompanies it makes it difficult and unpleasant for a night walk,but he keeps walking and thinking ."On my right i have a bright future ,on my left i have a kind friend`s gift ,i must be the luckiest man on earth,i must be the luckiest an on earth "he stopped a faint smile appeared on his face ,raised his head looked at the sky, at the moon that faithfully accompanied him at this important night of his life and then he felt lighter as if a burden was lifted and his walking became liver ,he run the remaining block to his home.Knocked the door impatiently and made such a loud noise that his wife his older son and even the twins run to the door shocked .
His wife opened the door fearing that her husband might be completely drank and whispered to her older son "Fred your father might be drank please take care the twins while i talk to him".She came out and closed the door behind her it was really cold she tighten her jacket more in order to protect herself from the freezing night , she was pretty with long light brown hair uncombed,she seemed like one of those fairies ,really matching the night and her husband`s mood.When he saw her yelled with anticipation "I am happy my queen ,tonight I am only drank with happiness ,in my hand i hold our bright future"he then quickly gave her the letter that had at his right hand and lowered his eyes like a small child that anticipates a praise and a generous gift , waiting impatiently for Miss Brown to finish reading the letter and congratulate him with that sweet smile of hers.He waited and waited until she finally said sobbing like a little five year old "Congratulations ".You remind me of our twins my dear ,please don't cry even if they are tears of happiness, just smile " he said and start peeling that mandarin on his left hand when he finished he said" call the children and lets tell them those fortunate news ".The children that overheard everything when the door finally opened,seemed like a century has passed,saw their parents happy faces and their father shared with them the fruit to celebrate .On a cold January day like this, their life changed by just a mere incident, by saving a helpless young man two years ago , the young nobleman as the letter says never forgot his kindness and awarded him with a new well-paid job and a chance for a new more fortunate life.Today his best friend and the messenger of the letter wished him the best of luck and offered him a sweet farewell gift, a mandarin.Feeling happy and blessed said to his wife "my wife we must not forget my kind friend when we finally move and begin our new life we must help him too"."Yes , we must not forget those that helped us ,because only the fortunate people can create good luck ."she said and looked towards the moon that was clearly agreeing with her and mocking those people seeking eternity in fame and riches and getting so scared with the first sign of aging ,those that want to live for eternity and lose the moment ,that seek an uncertain future and lose the present.Mocking the kings that loose themselves into their riches and vanity and blessing the people that fight to earn their place in the world .Their journey began the next day the moon vanished and the place took the snow that mantled the streets an obedient co-traveler .With a faint sun and a wishful thinking began there new life.
