The future no longer existed for John.
The past he had left it behind-- buried with him, with the pain he had been forced to accept. The rush of freedom quickened his pulse, fed him wildest dreams of living a normal life. The twenty years of his entire existence, the existence that led up to this moment, would never be remembered again.He wouldn't allow it. Let the memories haunt him, let them come and see how far they would get. His heart would be numb to their cries, his ears would be deaf to their torment. He refused to be the pathetic puppy who cried when the food dish remained empty, only to be beaten later for making so much noise.
An ache stirred within John as he watched the dark terrain speed past his exam hall window. He had to forget.Hewould forget. Tonight marked a new beginning, a life untouched by agony or the familiar terrors that for so long had refused to let go. The tortured voice within him screamed until he trembled, but John hardened himself against the pain. If running long and hard could erase the past, then he would succeed. He had gathered what little he could and bought a ticket to the furthest destination he could afford. It didn't matter where, as long as his surroundings wouldn't remind him of his past and about what Kenneth did.with all these things running in his mind John tried concentrating in his paper.John somehow had to win the competition the next day,but he had no idea on how he is gonna compete without any idea/Preparation.With a broken thoughts he caught the sight of Ellen.She sighed back,it was a surprise and awe to John as, the moment John thought about Ellen she responded back with a smile,which gently greased a feel of intimacy in Johns mind.
John continued his Exam but he couldn't concentrate ,the smile of Ellen unfolded his tensed mind.It bought in a confidence which reassured and restored his Courage and mental peace.Suddenly an idea popped up in John's mind.He admired Ellen's beauty as a divine thing.He captured her beautiful expressions deep in his heart.John quitely observed each and every moves of ellen from that instance .Her hair was a rich shade of raven black mixed with ebony. It flowed like a soft waves towards her shoulder which gently fell on her neck to adorn her glowing, porcelain-like skin. Her eyes, framed by long lashes which were guarding the precious glowing hazel and seemed to brighten the world. A straight nose which guides the onlookers,to the pink lips which drew a curve not only on her face but in the minds of her adorers too -for John she seemed to be the picture of perfection. Had she smiled, the world would sigh with contentment. Had she laughed, the world would laugh with her. And had she wept, the whole world would want to comfort her.Even if the world don't definitely John not Bcoz John adores but he admires her as a good friend, her good soul,her selfless attitude."Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"-John experienced this fact for the first time..By the time John imagined this it was almost 5pm, and he wrote nothing except the question number in the answer sheet,the invigilator gave a weird look upon John.But John never bothered about the Exam and he Just walked away delivering Good byes to his friends.Soon Garry and Ellen joined him.John felt some drastic change in Ellen's attitude towards him and he also conveyed these to Garry.He started off soon.John also explained Ellen how he adored her smile and what all he thought.John actually planned to envisage those in his painting competition the next day,which he thought would really win the hearts of evaluators.We need to know that, in this world Reality is always better than imagination.Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality.With all these thought John was ready to set off to try out his fortune.
