Blue and Gray

."¥¥¥".



Dayana, which in Sanskrit means "a princess", is the name of a girl who is now in adulthood. Dayana is the youngest of three children. Dayana's life journey from childhood to adolescence went well. Since childhood, Dayana spent more time with her friends than her parents. This is because Dayana's parents are busy at work. Dayana enjoyed her normal life until something she never thought of happened to her family. His father was sick and had to perform an operation. Thankfully the operation went smoothly, but his father couldn't walk because of a pinched nerve.

His father had been therapy all over the place, but the result remained the same. Too focused on her leg recovery, Dayana's father forgets that he has sugar disease. One day Dayana's father's blood sugar was very high and required hospitalization. Since Dayana's father's hospitalization did not show any improvement even her father had to be transferred to the ICU room.

One night in front of the ICU a hospital was so crowded with people busy talking. Instantly, things fell silent when the door of the ICU room opened and revealed the figure of the nurse.

"Can one of the patient's family come with me inside?" said the nurse. Finally, Dayana's first sister decided to enter the ICU room. After a few minutes, Dayana's sister came out of the ICU room to call Dayana's mother.

"Mom let's go in" to be honest Dayana's feelings started to calm down, negative thoughts popping up in her head. Hopefully, what Dayana thinks is not true and hopefully she will get good news about her father soon. But it seems that Dayana's wish is unlikely to be realized because the mother came out of the ICU room with a panic face.



"Dayana! Dayana! Let's go in, your dad..." hearing her mother's words made Dayana run into the ICU room. Upon entering, Dayana was presented with a scene that she didn't want to see at all. A doctor and several nurses can be seen spurring her father's heart with a device that Dayana doesn't know her name. Dayana's anxiety returned when she heard screams and cries from her mother.

Dayana moved closer to the bed where her father was lying down and joined in whispering prayers. A few minutes passed, the doctor's activities stopped and looked at the rest of Dayana's family with a guilty look. Dayana understood the meaning of that look, her father had already gone to another place different from the world. Dayana's brain understood what was really happening, but her heart refused to understand.

"Dad! Let's get up, let's go home. I beg you to open your eyes hikes, dad" Dayana kept trying to wake her father, but her father did not wake up. The front of the icu room, which was originally filled with people busy conversing, is now filled with the sound of crying from a family that has lost a loved one.

A few days after the father's departure, Dayana became a slightly quiet figure. He still doesn't fully accept if his father is completely gone from the world. Dayana is like being someone who is very sad among a group of happy people. Dayana felt that it was more painful to pretend to smile than to pretend to cry. Everyone has two different sides that not everyone knows. Dayana symbolizes it in blue and gray. The blue color symbolizes happiness and the gray color symbolizes loneliness. Dayana had to turn blue to hide the gray through her laughter.

Over time Dayana realized that she was the one who gave birth to that sense of loneliness. It was himself who created the gray color in his own life. Dayana realizes that she should not feel lonely in living life. Dayana's life will go on, after all, like an arrow in the blue sky. Dayana decides to make peace with herself. In the distant future, when he laughs, he will tell the father if he can do it.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
