Accidental Love Story.. Inspired by Jay Chow.
This love story began in the coral reefs.
There was this little clown fish that lived in the beautiful coral reefs in the sea. All day he would swim around the corals having fun and enjoying the colours of the reefs. He wouldn't care much about the world around him when other fishes were busy finding places to live in or feeding their young. He just want to make full use of his time to swim around and be merry making friends in the beautiful coral reefs. A happy go lucky clown fish he was.. Deep down in him he had a dream, a dream of flying and soaring the blue skies above the water.. Just like a seagull, spreading the wings and float through the air with grace. But he knew he couldn't, because he's a clown fish. He would spend most of his time swimming to the shallow parts of the reef to watch enviously as the seagulls flies while braving the danger of being eaten by them..
There was this seagull that lived above the beautiful coral reefs. All day she would fly around the reefs and hunt for fishes. She was a hard working seagull just like any other, she flew back and fro to build her nest on land and gather food in sea. She would work tirelessly for months to secure her place in the flock of the seagulls. A hardworking seagulls she was.. Deep down in her she had a dream, a dream of swimming through the coral reefs and enjoy the beautiful colours of the blue sea beneath.. Just like a clown fish, flipping the fins and slide through the water effortlessly.. But she knew she couldn't, because she's a seagull. She would spend her time standing on the shallow parts of the reef and watch enviously as the fishes swam past the colours of corals..
Then one day both the clown fish and the seagull met each other on the shallow parts of the reef. They became friends. An unlikely pair indeed.
For the days that followed, they spent all their time together and they would meet at the shallow parts of the reef and talked about their different ways of life, how the seagulls would build their nest, how the fishes would find the corals to stay in. They would exchange experiences that they had, how beautiful and quiet the corals were in sea, how free and easy the skies would be. Sometimes the clown fish would direct the seagull and led her to see many other much more beautiful colourful coral reefs that she always dreamt about and no one had ever took her before. Sometimes the seagull would pick the clown fish up and let him feel the rush of flying that he always dreamt of, which no one could ever took him before. They had the time of their life. They were happy and had tremendous fun being in one another's company. Although they came from two different worlds but their natural abilities complimented one another's inadequate dreams. They completed each other.
They fell in love.
Being the unlikely couple, they didn't know how to tell anyone around them because they knew that there will be objections from many sides. So they decided to keep it a secret from the rest of the world, and tried to work things out on their own.
Months passed.
Then came a day when the seagull told the fish that she had to be away on land to finish her nest that she started months back and she'll be back within few days. The clown fish then told her that he'll be waiting for her at the shallow parts of the reef in a few days time. They both agreed on that and the seagull flew back to land to settle her unfinished nest.
The clown fish waited for days missing the seagull badly.
That day came and the seagull did not appear. The clown fish got worried and he was anxious.. He was concerned about the seagull's wellbeing and safety because its a dangerous place on land. He decided to risk it and went around looking for her near the land where most of the seagulls lived. He started asking other seagulls that he met about her hoping to find out what happened.
Days passed. The clown fish's efforts were in vain and so he returned to the shallow parts of the reef and continue to wait for the seagull.
A day later she flew back to meet him at the place where they agreed. The clown fish was overjoyed to see the seagull again. But the seagull wasn't. She was upset about what the fish had done. She was faced with many questions and objections from the flock when they knew about the clown fish existence. They didn't like it at all. So the seagull had to make a decision. A decision that would ultimately benefits both of them. A decision that the seagull and the fish had to face. A decision that were tough to make.
The seagull told the fish that they were entirely from different worlds and to co-exist with one another was difficult.
She had to stay with the flock and nest on land. She had to return to her nest building days and find a place in the flock.
He had to find a coral and lived in sea. He had to return to his corals and find a place to raise his young.
Too great were their distance. Too great were their differences. Going separate ways seems inevitable to them but it was for the good of them.
The clown fish was sorry for upsetting the seagull. But he knew it was too late. He had to face the fact. The brutal reality of life.
It was an accident that the seagull and the clown fish fell in love.
That day they parted quietly and their love was buried deep in the corals of the sea forever.
