It was almost dark...
The bird was sitting on a branch of a tree...
A bat came flying over and asked her, "Every night I find you waiting here and looking up at the sky. I can find no one there except the moon and the stars...
What are you waiting for?"
Bird replied, "I'm waiting for my dear moon."
Bat laughed and said, "You silly creature! What kind of love do you have despite knowing that you can never reach him? Why do you keep waiting for him the entire day and follow him branch to branch breaking your feathers, hurting yourself?
Don't you know your love for him is one-sided? He doesn't even know about your craziness for him."
The bird smiled and said, "It's not my craziness. It's my love for him that makes me fly higher and higher to reach up to him. I know I can never reach there but still with the passing of each and every night, my desire for him go on increasing.
And how can you say that he doesn't even know about me. He rises every night and walks in the direction showing me the way. His shadows that fall upon me in the darkness are nothing but his love for me which keeps encouraging me to move forward without getting disheartened. His silence motivates me and I keep following him blindly without caring for my pains...
It inspires me to attain my goal of life crossing all the hurdles and obstacles.
Now do you have any questions or any reason to mock at me?"
The bat became silent and flew away looking for his prey.
And the bird turned to the sky again where her dear and loving moon was shining brightly and was smiling at her as if he was saying, "Your wait is over now...I'm here again...!"
