The Cloud of Rurest Sweetness
The Cloud of Rurest Sweetness
There lived in a small town Maya, a very lively girl with a great sense of humour. One thing that fascinated her the most was “candies”. I am going outside to meet my friend ” said Maya in exclamation.
Now comes Riya Maya’s best friend. “Hey! Maya look what I got for you”, said Riya and took out of her bag a big case which had a note with an image of a witch standing with a cotton candy. Her peculiar nose and her grin looked strange, but Maya ignored it and saw cotton candies loaded in the case. She staggered in ecstasy and ate a piece of the strawberry cotton candy. Her mouth burst with flavour; it was extremely delightful and melted in her mouth. She liked it so much that it didn’t even take her a minute to curl her tongue to the last bite.
“Where diid you get this delicious delight from?” asked Maya.”It is from the ‘Witch Cafe”, answered Riya. “Witch Cafe something like that even exists? It is quite weird though, said Maya in suspicion. Riya spotted the cafe on her way to her piano classes.” Well, it’s time now. I must be home.
We will meet at the Witch Cafe only.” said Maya in confidence. Next morning Maya was shocked to see that the case earlier filled with treats was completely empty.
Clueless, She found it very mysterious and terrific. She associated the witch note with the incident and assumed the witch was tricking her. Suddenly, she heard a “thud”. Maya ran towards her mother’s room and saw the same note, but the witch now was holding a card inscribed with, “Good girl you must be here soon!” She ran to her mother and spoke out the whole incident But her mother believed Maya was in a delusion. “It is happening because you don’t sleep on time and are now day dreaming.”
Maya could not relate because she was stuck in the illusion of the witch. She immediately called Riya and the story takes a sharp turn. When Maya arrived at the witch cafe with Riya, it was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. The aromy of sweet treats was strong , with miniature landscapes made of confectionery. Maya went to the side of shelf where there was a highlighted hole. She peeped through, but Riya screamed, “stop!”. Turning towards Riya, Maya was shocked as Riya’s face started turning pale and hole became enlarged.
Maya searched for clues and found a book headed “6,5,4,3,2,1”. In the book was the percentage of your happiness the most would be at “6” and least “1”. She could hear children playing and laughing. The hole became so large that they both went inside and Boom! it was a slide that took them to a would where witches were turning into angels because of magic sparked by Maya. Maya spotted a jar in the cafe where Angels were trapped and set them free and the act of Riya fainting was done by the angels only to draw Maya’s attention.
“Thanks for setting us free,” said an Angel. They went to the happiness meter and turned it to “6”. Riya and Maya both sang, ate, and played with the angels. The clouds in the candy world were actually cotton candy. The angels requested them to stay and Maya and Riya were so lethargic that they agreed to sleep in the comfortable beds.”Maya wake up! wake up! Maya slowly opened her eyes and found herself in her room. Her mother asked. “Why are you shocked?”
Maya realized that all these incidents, from the cafe to candy world, had just been a dream.
