While she stood there inhaling the sweet serenity that permeates the air, she cannot help singing, for her heart was feeling so lugubrious. She sang, as if her soul was in the very notes of the song. The other creatures woke up out of their slumber just to listen to her; such was the beauty of her voice. Alas, she finished, and everything was quiet again.
Except for the splashing that she heard near the water. She looked down, and, oh the joy! It was the fish! Her fish!
The bird was overjoyed to see the fish again, and so was he, so they talked about their lives excitingly. It was only later in their conversation dis she found out that he, like her, is unmarried. An awkward pause followed, for they knew the answer why both of them decided to be so.
At last, the fish said:
"I am old. Soon, i'm going to die, either by age or be caught by a fishermen. I can marry another fish, have kids, and be content that i have heirs, but i won't, knowing that somewhere deep down in my heart, something will always be missing,cause God knows the only place where i truly belong is by your side. I would rather live one minute beside you, than a thousand lifetimes beside someone else. If i can hold you in my arms even just for a jiffy, then i would gladly embrace death, and be content wherever i will go, for heaven will not be heaven without you, and hell as i know it woud be when you are not around."
The bird could only shed a tear at this. Why have i been so weak? Why... did i let him go?
Yes. because she thought he'd be happier without her. How wrong was she.
