Sitting by the banks of the river, tiera was building a sand castle.Sara also joined her.The sand glittered by the dazzling sun. Its been an hour or so since tiera left home and came here.She loved to see the sky changing its colours...pink to red,purple..and finaly black and she kept staring.But when did sara join her...she didnot have any clue.Tiera associated sarah with the blue bird, both had plaintive,speaking eyes. The blue bird who would come everyday and sit on the window pane in her room and would search for tiera and as she would enter the little bird would flip her wings with excitement. she was the first one to make friendship with tiera...Its been almost 3 months since they have come to "cielo" .the place where they live is quite desolate..The colors in the sky were similar to the colours in her wings,purple and pink with a red beak...sitting on the rock sara was singing a song, may be she learnt it from those girls with whom she was chatting for a long time...it was a folk song...tiera started humming as well....but somehow tiera is not in the best of moods today.She felt even the colours in sky were not fused well .Sarah lived in a small thatched house with her grandmom near the field,and she brought flowers for tiera's mother everyday...as tiera's mother loved the smell and she would feel much better lying all day due to her illness...but sarah only came to give the flowers...she didnot interact with tiera much..sara's eyeswere so pale..it seemed eyes needed some rest..they were burdened with thoughts ...but tiera didnot ask her....though they were of the same age...but she still felt some gap.walking through the waters...tiera realised what was worrying her all day long?? It was the blue bird..for the past two days she is not coming,both tiera and the bird would look up in the sky for long and then after having some grains from tiera's hands she would fly away. But what happened to the bird??...now no one's there to talk to, to listen to her twittering was a wonder...but where will she search her....with utmost despair tiera dropped down...sitting motionless on the sand..she could smell the smell of the gushy water..."its dark lets go......what happened to you??" tiera looke up to find it was sarah leaning forward....tiera broke down, understanding the sensitivity of the situation sara sat beside her and said..."lets go for a walk...its wonderful to walk in the night and enjoy the smell of the flowers coming from the nearby field.you look sad,if you want, you can share..." tiera atlast broke her silence and said," I lost my friend...", "oh God!!...I lost my friend too. my pet bird juno", sarah answerd....holding each other's hands both of them started walking on bare foot feeling the cool waters...But where was the blue bird?? she remained hidden in the dark blue cky...which she loved the most.
