The Moon and The Ocean

Moon reached near the lake and stopped. He punched a tree with his full strength and the tree fell on the ground. Moon's eyes were red with both anger and sadness. It was difficult for him to make a decision. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk with someone about it but he was afraid that they would suggest him to do something he didn't want to do. He kept it all secret from Ocean, he didn't want to pull her in his mess but Mr Samuels blurted it all out in front of Ocean. He knelt down on the ground, tears rolled down his cheeks and he cried silently upon his misery. His gaze was on the ground and he kept crying.

Ocean reached the lake side a bit later. She looked at Moon and her heart ached seeing him cry. A tear from his eye fell on the ground when Ocean ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. He quickly wrapped his arms around her as well and he cried his pain out. She sat down on the ground and Moon buried his face in the crook of her neck. She rubbed his back soothingly in circular motion. After a few minutes, Moon felt a bit better. He broke the hug and she wiped his tears with her soft fingers. She then sat on his lap and held him close to her.

Ocean: If you will not tell me what's troubling you, how will I help you? Moon, I know till now I was the one who needed your help and you were always there to help me. Then why can't I help you when you need it.

Ocean tried to convince him. He looked at her with his still red eyes. He closed his eyes and leaned his head over her shoulder.

Moon: I don't even know where to begin. I don't know anyone in this world. I'm all alone, Ocean.

His voice cracked at the word "alone."

Ocean: You are not alone. Tell me what's bothering you?

Moon: My parents are not my biological parents. The people you saw in school, Mr and Mrs Samuels. They are my biological parents. They want to take me with them. I can't believe Ma and Pa had lied to me. Even Zeus never told me that I wasn't their blood. I have no idea what to do.

Ocean: Tell me one thing, have you ever felt in your life that Mr and Mrs Kart aren't your parents? Had they ever even scolded you for something?

Moon: No, they never did anything that would make me think that they are not my real parents.

Ocean: Moon, you might not be their blood but they love you more than they love Zeus. They have pampered you more than him. Even Zeus took all the responsibilities so you can enjoy your life as you want. He looks after you like a big brother. You told me, there were so many nights Mrs Kart had sat beside you all night because you had suffered from insomnia. Moon, it's not necessary if they are your blood or not. They raised you, fed you, cared for you, they had spent many sleepless nights because of you. They have supported you in every single decision you have taken in your life. And your biological parents, where were they when you couldn't sleep. When you had lost your smile. When you felt sick. Where were they for 17 years. Now they are claiming you and want you to go with them. Moon, this decision is very easy for you. The only people who have struggled with you for 17 years, they are your Ma and Pa and Zeus. Go and tell them that you belong here with them. You are hurt because they are hurt, because some strangers came into your life saying they are your real parents. Doesn't mean it will change everything. You are not alone. You have you ma, your pa, your brother Zeus and me.

Moon smiled and kissed her cheek.
