Flowers have never got any attention from me. I had no interest in flowers or gardening. However things changed and it hasn’t been a lot since I fell for flowers.
On one of my visit to my grandmom who lived at a distance of about two hours walk; I saw beautiful flowers in her garden. They looked quite beautiful and the fragrance was simply out of the world. I decided to have some of them in my home as well. So before I left, I asked my grandmom to give me some seedlings and finally she agreed. I brought those seedlings with me and desperately wanted to plant them as soon as I reached home. I did not even bother to ask my grandmom about the name of the flowers because I was so excited to have them in my place. I did not want to expose those flowers to everybody who would pass by so I decided to plant them in a bit of distance away from my home. I walked twenty minutes or so and finally found a place where I could plant them. With the beautiful blossomed flowers in the back of my mind, I dug the mud out and planted those seedlings putting small wooden bars around them to keep it safe from birds and stray cattle.
I carefully watered them, brought some manure and put them in the mud around the plant and I also pampered the tender leaves of stems, I was simply thinking of the time when they would grow big and turn into beautiful flowers.
I got back home; the day had been quite good as I had started a new thing which never interested me in the past. After supper I went to bed and got asleep very quickly. In the darkest hour of the night, I suddenly woke up. The high pitched thunder strike and the tapping sound made by large drops of water broke my sleep. Suddenly I remembered my flowers and alas! Would they be there tomorrow? I never realized that I had planted them very near to a brook and if the rain continues, the water level may rise and sweep away my flowers. The strong wind would easily reap off those small fragile plants. At this point of time, I could not go to my nursery to bring those flowers back. My heart was pounding heavily and I could not stop thinking about tomorrow. The thoughts of those flowers were literally killing me.
Such a thing which did not interest me in the past and I was already in a jeopardy of losing as soon as I embraced them. Still thinking of tomorrow and wondering if I could see those flowers still planted in the exact site.
